    DPMS Oracle, opinions

    So after hearing the douchebag in the last debate admit he wants to reinstate some sort of "assault weapon" ban, ive been tossing around getting an AR. Never been a fan of them, dont really "want" one, dont "need" one, but, dont like the idea of not being able to get one if I choose. Looking...

    Google goes anti-gun???

    Looks like google is censoring weapons related searches. Go to google, type in "AR-15", or ".45 ammo", than click on the shopping tab. See what pops up.

    Well I did a search on here, and all I can find is they're not the same dimensions. Not very specific. So, saying I want to switch from a M5 to the M4, how much, if any inletting work will be required? Which ones the bigger of the two? And yes, I emailed Badger, havent heard back.

    Rifle Scopes "New" IOR Scopes, Input/Reviews

    I find myself somewhat in the market for a new scope. I figure, if im gonna do it im gonna make the jump to mil/mil for sure, and possibly FFP. Id love to be able to get a NF, but $1800'ish is out of the question. And with NF's Nazi like control over its distributors, getting a "deal" on a new...

    Gunsmithing Badger M4/M5 Bottom Metal Questions

    A couple quick questions.... Does the M4 come with spring, mag follower, and mag box, or does it implement those factory parts? Does the M4 system allow for a longer COAL like the M5 system compared to the factory system? Thanks

    Suppressors Liberty vs.........the rest.

    Ive been reading, and reading, and reading, and than reading some more on the topic of suppressors. I know one thing for sure, I want direct connect. I know im strongly leaning towards Titanium. I had it narrowed down to a TBA 30P-1, or possibly an AAC Cyclone. The class 3 dealer ive been...

    Rifle Scopes Why on the right side?

    I was thinking of this today. Why is it that the windage turret on scopes is on the right side? Considering theres a higher percentage of the population thats right handed, wouldnt it made more ergonomic sense to have that knob on the left side? I know for me, I work both turrets with the left...

    Gunsmithing Threaded Bolt Knob wont stay put.

    Ive got my first threaded "tacticool" bolt knob sitting here. Ive loctited it onto the handle twice now, but it doesnt offer the degree of hold I want as its broke loose twice now in dry firing and that is just NOT acceptable. Before I JB weld the bitch on there, any other "semi permanent"...

    Gunsmithing "Satin" paints for rifle finish

    Anybody ever use "satin" finish paints to paint up a rifle? Im wondering, if gone over with a matte clearcoat, if that will be enough to dull them up enough. Those Krylon "fusion" paints have some real decent colors id like to use, but they only come in gloss or satin, dont want to use them if...

    Gunsmithing Coarse thread sling studs

    Ive got a HS stock here missing the rear sling stud (I think its one of the HS stocks they provided to Remington when some Rems came with a HS stock). They're machine screw studs, coarse thread (at least the front one is) and a standard fine thread Uncle Mikes stud wont fit in the rear. It looks...

    Gunsmithing Will paint affect tolerances in a bedded action?

    Got a quick question here we were debating at work today. Say you got an already bedded action. Will painting the entire action greatly effect the tight tolerance between the action and the bedding compound (assuming one uses a reasonable number of coats and doesn't build up an obscene layer of...

    .308 to 7mm to .260 brass resizing

    Ive researched this topic ad nauseam on here and other sites. I have a BUNCH of .308 brass. Is any "special" attention required to necks if necking down .308 brass to 7mm, than 6.5mm (for a .260 Rem)? By "special" I mean neck turning, etc??? If ive read correctly, according the "gospel" on the...
