I'm not a new guy but I've been gone a while. I just scrolled through the list of forums and didn't see one titled "all kinds of NFA questions". So this looked like the right forum in which for me to ask, "in which forum should I ask about NFA things like turning a rifle into a...

I'd like to get an M1a as a battle rifle and the Springfield Armory Scout Squad appeals to me because of overall size, wieght, and cost. (not particularly interested in a SCAR Heavy or AR-10 right now) Here is a link to a picture of it on their website: Scout Squad rifle I've already got a...

Hey All, So if you want to switch calibers in a glock pistol, for instance, to shoot 9mm out of a Glock 23 ( the compact sized .40 S&W) - do you actually need a <span style="font-style: italic"> conversion </span> barrel to shoot 9mm out of a Glock 23, or can you just go ahead and put a Glock...

Hey all, What Color can you get a non-aftermarket-as in like stock, factory made-order it from the gunstore, Glock in? I feel like a JA asking this because I'd have figured that it would be a one click google search to answer myself, but my searches are bringing up pink finish on slides, and...

I need to get a shot timer to train with. I was all set to get the Competition Electronics Pocket Pro, when I noticed that for the same price, I can get the Pocket Pro 2. The sequel (if thats what we wanna call it) has more features, but less buttons, I'm thinking that maybe the 2nd gen...

Hey all, I’m trying to decide whether or not to cross the threshold—so to speak—and start putting steel cased (non-corrosive) ammo through my AR. I’m not looking for subjective opinion here, but rather information with which to make my own decision. The way I see it, even if steel cased ammo...

Hey All, My apologies if this has been covered before--I tried a Google search with no luck. I’m not new to shooting at all, but I’m brand new to reloading and as such, I really appreciate it if folks talk to me like I’m six years old when we talk reloading. So I’d like to start hand loading...

Is there a most common thread pattern for .45 auto suppressors? I'm asking while considering suppressing a 1911 in .45 auto. (and I'd happily take any advice as to what specific can, dry or wet, and what not as I don't claim to have the first clue here.) Thanks all.

Couple questions about Smith and Wesson 1911s that I’m sure someone more knowledgeable than me can answer: 1) Are Smith and Wesson 1911s totally free of MIM parts? 2) Besides the external extractor, are these things consistent with 1911 Specs? (because I’m not getting a Sig 1911 because the...

I just put a surefire x300 on a Glock 34 (3rd gen). I’d like to get a thigh rig to rock n roll with this setup and in Googling my way around and pouring over Safariland's "which holsters fit which pistols charts" I’m not seeing any such option jump out at me. The one thing I found was this...

Hey All, I've been in the market for a decent 22 revolver for quite some time now. For a while now, I've been using this cheapo H&R revolver with a double action/single action trigger. that functions alright (as in I have to keep retightening the screw replacing a pin that fell out). My...

Hey all, I need a little bit of knowledge. Well, actually I probably need a lot of knowledge, but this question is more along the lines of a little bit of knowledge. I’m thinking of getting one surefire x300 to use on 3 different pistolas of mine. On Surefire’s website, it says “FITS: Handguns...

Is PALS webbing compatible with MOLLE webbing type gear and vice versa?

This looks like one useful piece of gear. I can't think of anything I'd rather have in a gunfight. BSD Tactical I'm gonna get 4 total. One for each wrist and one for each ankle. These 4 should about complete my tactical loadout.

I want to get a really nice 1911 (in .45 auto) as my combat handgun/sidearm. What should I get? Oh and right from the start here guys, if we could avoid having the thread devolve into a storm of arguments and peeing contests that would be really nice, though I won’t hold my breath LOL...

Osama Bin Laden's last FaceBook entry: BRB. somebody's at the door.

I need some advice on what 9mm pistol suppressor to get. To start narrowing it down, I wanted to know what opinions folks have for dry vs. wet suppressors. From my total ignorance of the topic, it seems like a wet silencer is quieter, but is putting the oil or whatnot inside of it a hassle or...

For concealed carry when dressed really light - like in the summer when its just shorts and a t-shirt, I'm gonna get a tiny little .380 auto. I'm thinking either a Ruger LCP or a S&W Bodyguard 380. I'm open to any advice and recommendations one way or the other. I'm not very knowledgable on...

What's the difference between Army and Marine ACOGs? is it just that the Army has internal turrets underneath the caps?

Is there anything wrong with shooting tracer rounds through a suppressor? I imagine it gets alot hotter alot faster. Also if the point of the suppressor is to conceal your whereabouts whilst firing, then it would be pretty stupid, but aside from that, is it bad for the suppressor to be...
