I'm thinking about a side charging .308 AR build and am thinking about the upper. I've seen ASA's side charging upper, but they caveat a lot about how it doesn't fit anyone else's gear- so that's not appealing. I've got an LAR side charger, which I like, but they said that they may be...

Not a new idea: I'd like to build an AR but would prefer to do so for the first time in a structured session/class with a gunsmith. You know- get a parts list, buy what you want (confirmed with the instructor), show up and learn the art of building from scratch. I've heard that there are many...

I picked up a drum mag that had some rust and needed some TLC. I vinegar soaked it and scrubbed off the rust spots, it also took all of the bluing off. The piece is pretty much ready for finishing and I was considering bluing. Here are my questions: 1. Should I blue it or is there another...

I'll try again in the gunsmithing zone. I've got a Saiga 240(5.45x39). I tried to get the forend out of the receiver but it won't budge. I looked around and saw people slaping them while pushing forward, but mine just won't move. I'm thinking of taking a scope to the inside and seeing if I...

I've got a new Saiga 240 (hunter's type 5.45x39) and finally had a chance to clean it. I stripped it down and thought about taking the forend off, but there aren't instructions for that. Some have a screw in the receiver behind the forend, some have an additional one at the sling stud, so I...

I'm getting a PPS-50(Bingham/Puma) and would like to read the Small Arms Review articles as noted below. Can someone send me pdfs or even the magazines? There was a 2-part series in Small Arms Review concerning the PPS-50 and the first part dealt with upgrading some things and what parts...

I've been doing some looking around for CT legal 7.62x54s and came across the VEPR series of rifles. They come in a traditional AK format (16, 20, 23") and a 21" hunter model with a standard looking stock. I'm a lefty so the standard thumbhole buttstock is not great for me, but upgrading a...

I'm thinking about picking up a Ruger Mini-30 tactical carbine or an Olympic Arms K30R(bull barreled). I am open to other models, but want to keep the costs relatively reasonable- AND have something CT AWB compliant. The Ruger mini-30s are hard to find in the tactical model. I've heard that...

Anyone tried swapping out the bottom metal of a Savage 10 FCP (.223) in the factory Accustock? I'm thinking about it so that I can get more rounds in it than the factory drop out mag, but the mag well has a little tab release, so it's either modify the existing release/metal or replace it so...

Ok, I'll try another question: What are you guys paying in FFL transfer fees in Connecticut? Occasionally I like to pick something up from a dealer outside of the state or through Sniper's Hide. What is a good price? When I called around I've been hearing $50 at most places. Let me know...

Likely asked before, but I'm kind of liking the Ruger Mini-30 tactical (581 model, 7.62x39, black hardware, standard synthetic stock, flash hider, 20 round mag). I called a local gun shop for pricing and they said it didn't comply with the CT AWB, but they could sell me the other models. We...

Maybe I'm beating a dead horse, but I thought some of you might be interested to know how the new scope worked. I took it out on a Remington 700sps in a Mcree stock, medium xtr rings on a 20moa rail and tried it out from 100-1000yds. I could have gone with low xtr rings, but no one I spoke...

I put one of Scott's new MP-MODSS stocks on my 700sps and had a chance to try it out (0-1000yds). Caveat- it was my first time out past 100yds (stupid state's limits, so I went out of state). Results- Solid hitting out to 800yds.... but my ammo ran out of steam after that. I guess I need to...

I bought a 1,050 of Tactical Ammunition's 175gr .308 ammo for a recent course and thought I'd share the results. It was my first time out at UKD upto 1000yds, so I wanted a large amount to book and get from the same lot. I communicated with TA and they thought it was a good fit, so I bought...

UPDATE: I've been looking a bit at the Safariland 4552 46" double rifle bag(shoulder and backpack). Does anyone have one of these? How long a rifle can you fit in it- I've contacted the company and they are reviewing it(didn't know). I also asked for inside photos as I've never seen any...
