Hi all. I know neither are a high end safe, but I have a tight budget since I lost my weekend job that gave us some breathing room in our monthly budget (trying to remain sub $800, sub $700 even better). I primarily want to keep things secure now that my young son is very mobile, and to keep...

Hey yinz guys. So I finished building my AR and got my tax money, so looking to put some glass on her. I'm running a RA Ultramatch 16", and my shooting will primarily inside of 300 yards (majority, likely inside of 200), with the occasional pig hunt on my buddy's land in TX to try to clear some...

So I've read a general conscientious on here that (over) cleaning can do more harm than good. RA/Shilen says that when cleaning a bore guide is highly recommended, as is a cleaning rod that allows the rod to rotate independent of the handle so that it doesn't jump lands/groves to harm the...

So I finally finished my build and since I'm running a RA Ultramatch barrel (16", 223 wylde), I figured I might as well get a variable powered optic instead of a red dot to help make the most of the barrel. Do to space limitations of where I shoot, I would say my longest shot would be 300 yards...

Hey all. I initially had a 16" RA Match barrel (223 wylde). After I finally pieced together my build, the barrel extension/feed ramps were a big problem in my upper (Mega billet). The right feed ramp had a small burr and the left was considerably more narrow on the extension than my lower...

So I just received a JP enhanced bolt (223/5.56), and have had a carrier made by Kies Firearms (NiB plated). When I went to assemble the BCG, my bolt wont fit into the carrier far enough to insert the cam pin. Opening for the cam pin in the bolt barely fully reaches the front of the cut-out for...

So I'm finally assembling my AR tomorrow as I wait on my bolt. During assembly, is it beneficial or recommended to put some anti-seize on the extension so if I ever swap barrels it's not stuck in the reciever with carbon build up? Or does the extension get too hot for anti-seize? The other...

To help make ends meet, I now work part-time at a local gun shop/range. Some co-workers have recently (as within the past week or so) had their carry guns treated with Froglube. Makes the action feel really smooth and nice, but not sure of it long term. Does it eventually gum-up/get sticky. Do...

So the only mid length gas tube I could find to buy was one in stainless steel that has a pretty shiny/polished finish. I have a Seekins MCSR rail that is pretty well vented and a bead-blasted stainless barrel. My question is, so that I don't have such an obviously shiny tube, could I paint the...

I just got my Seekins 12" MCSR rail and it looks amazing. However, the aluminum barrel nut has a protruding burr on the face that will meet with barrel extension, covering about 1/3 of the circumference. Since the barrel nut is aluminum, will this compress and not be an issue, or will this cause...

I'm so close, yet so far away from finishing my build. Anybody have any leads on where I can get a 12" MCSR, or have one they want to part with. Will pay fair value with or without ammo as part of the value paid. I've looked at other rails, and just keep coming back to this beaut. Thanks in...

Wondering if a non-adjustable gas block with serve me just fine, or whether it's worth the extra bit of $ for an adjustable GB for some tuning adjustments to help work out any issues that may arise. Background: I won't be shooting suppressed (with I could, but can't afford a can anytime in the...

No politics means no politics... we have a 2A exception. Next time you will be banned... Immigration has nothing to do with Shooting.

So I'm sure a lot of you saw earlier in the week the child suspended from school for a Hello Kitty bubble gun. Now there's a school in Boston who threatened to suspend a 5 year old boy for making a toy gun out of Legos. (link at end of my post). Some of us could use Legos and make something that...

So I have a Mega ambi lower and was working on assembling it with a Spikes enhanced LPK. On the Mega, the bolt catch release is held with a "bolt catch retaining screw", not a roll pin. The roll pin will fit through the appropriate hole of the bolt catch release, but for the life of me, can't...

Getting towards the end of part gathering for a build, and now down to the operation system. I was thinking about an AA piston, but and having second thoughts so now considering DI with NB bcg. When it comes to the gas block (low profile), is the clamp on style better/worse then a set screw...

As I've been gathering parts for my first build, I've also been scanning Armslist and Gunbroker to help a friend of mine find a good AR in his price range. I can't begin to count how often I see an ad for a "custom" gun which consists of an added Magpul stock, a grip pod and maybe a cheap red...

Was looking over Armslist trying to help a buddy find a good, relatively affordable AR. Came across a posting sold as-is, as the wylde chambering doesn't build enough pressure to cycle the AA piston reliably. Anybody ever hear of this? Curious since I was thinking of running an AA with the...

So I'm working on gathering parts for my ongoing build (have a Mega billet ambi lower and billet upper, with Rainier's 16" match barrel). Leaning towards running an AA piston but need to supply your own bolt for the system. Saw a NiB plated bolt made by Kies. I'm not familiar with them (know...

As hard as it is right now to track down a decent barrel in stock, I've found two I'm interested in. First is a Loki Weapons nitrided 4150 (same steel as the M249 SAW). The second is a Lothar-Walther in their LW-50 stainless steel. Both are 16" and 1-8 twist. the Loki is $100 cheaper than the...
