    Sidearms & Scatterguns Light or no light

    personally, i'd go railed. that's what i did with my latest 1911 purchase. i came up with a list of requirements then found the gun(s) that matched the criteria. my requirements: 1- aluminum frame 2- accessory rail 3- commander length 4- REPUTABLE MANUFACTURER 5- Night Sights that came out to...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Why you DON'T like Glock.

    reasons i don't like Glock: 1- it's an ugly, aesthetically unappealing gun 2- the grip angle has me pointing it upwards (close to 20 years of Sig, Beretta and 1911 pistols) 3- the finger grooves don't fit my smaller-than-average hands, like Hogue grips 4- to make a Glock into a nice gun...

    Rifle Scopes American defense or warne ramp mount?

    I've got Warne rings on a model 70 and they're great, but the ADM vortex branded mount for my ar is really nice. You'll be golden with either

    FNH TSR in 300 WSM, how heavy is this thing gonna be?

    ok, but is there a B&C style stock (one that's not gonna set me back the $$ that a McMillan will) that will fit a FNH? and what one? my goal is eventually have a rifle that i can shoot things that are far away while keeping the weight down to a reasonable poundage. i've been eyeballing the Rem...

    FNH TSR in 300 WSM, how heavy is this thing gonna be?

    i'm not dead set on the 300 WSM, but one of my plans (if this comes to fruition) is to thread the bbl for a brake. i'm really not concerned with how loud it is, i'll be wearing some sort of ear pro. my original thought was a Rem 700 in 7mag, and trying to keep it under 7lbs unscoped yet still...

    FNH TSR in 300 WSM, how heavy is this thing gonna be?

    i'm kinda pipe-dreaming here about a relatively light weight WSM rifle, and the FNH came to mind. their website lists it at 10.1 lbs empty, how much of that could i shave off if i mounted it in a B&C carbelite stock? and what stocks will fit the FNH rifles? i know that they (FN) own Winchester...

    Rock River Arms 7.62x51 rifles. Much needed improvements ASAP!

    Sorry, I'm not a fan. I think that there are better options, and ill stick with my builds. I get all the parts I want and none of the extras! Right now my spare parts for ARs is an extra CTR stock and 8-9 flash hiders and comps. RRA has done some goofy stuff, like the FAL mags, the AR-74, their...

    Rock River Arms 7.62x51 rifles. Much needed improvements ASAP!

    I agree, RRA sucks. Their triggers aren't horrible, but that's not an endorsement. Also, their handguards are TANKS. It is possible, evidenced by the fact that the Noveske NSR is half the weight of a feather, to make a light handguard that is still strong! And their solution to the 762x39 AR...

    short(er) barrel, long(er) handguard, complete! my 14.5" bbl, 15" alpharail

    there's a 16.7" Noveske NSR now!!! i saw one the other day at Atomic Tactical, it was really cool! however, you're not gonna be able to slip any can into it. i, however, do not have the option of suppressors in the liberal-land that is Minnesota. we can't have cans, short barrel shotguns, and...

    short(er) barrel, long(er) handguard, complete! my 14.5" bbl, 15" alpharail

    honestly, i haven't had any issues. i'm sold on the design, and since i like having a QD socket there, i'll probably just buy these from now on. when i got this one the guy at Element Arms sold me on it by piecing the same thing using standard parts and a Troy end plate. the PWS one was $10 more...

    R25, pof, bro, dpms, s&w...?

    if you want a good START, i'd say look at the smith M&P-10. it's nice and light, but the bbl isn't floated. also, the bbl has a pencil-type contour, so it's probably not going to shine at distances. they DO, however, have a 5r barrel. with the leftover cash, i'd swap the flash hider for a comp...

    short(er) barrel, long(er) handguard, complete! my 14.5" bbl, 15" alpharail

    thanks man! you could build one without a ton of cash.... i'm into it for probably $1100... granted, some of the parts are used, and some were traded for

    short(er) barrel, long(er) handguard, complete! my 14.5" bbl, 15" alpharail

    over 200 views, and nobody has a comment? come on, i can take it! btw, a new hammer spring and it's running 100%. i dumped 200 rounds through it last night, and after dialing in the sights, i was getting decent groupings, and not a single light-strike.

    short(er) barrel, long(er) handguard, complete! my 14.5" bbl, 15" alpharail

    ok, i originally had a 14.5 ordered from Spikes, but when it came in i didn't have the cash on me, and i had Atomic Tactical sell it to another long-time customer. no jealousy, no issues, and i don't regret it. here's the original thread...

    AR Newbie - Best $1500 AR15?

    i'd go this order: -Daniel Defense -BCM -Sig M400 -Colt. i'm also not a fan of Colts, but that's because the ones i've seen lately have been mediocre at best. the fitment on the last few 6920s we had in stock were sloppy, and i was helping a friend install a Noveske NSR and a Battlecomp on...

    AR15 Rear sight: LMT my only option?

    i'm a fan of the Matech BUIS that Colt uses, and the Knights one is really nice too. however, if you want an A2 style sight and cant find a LMT in stock (or you don't like the price) why not just take a carry handle and chop it down as suggested earlier? i've done that to a friend's gun, and it...

    14.5" bbl with a pinned PWS CQB Comp: any issues??

    thanks guys. what i'm gonna try is to mount the hider on an SBR of a friend's so i can test it before i weld that bad boy to my rifle. i'll also grab a heavier buffer if i have any cycling issues and try that before counting it as a total loss

    14.5" bbl with a pinned PWS CQB Comp: any issues??

    i've got a 14.5" bbl coming to finalize my latest AR build, 5.56x45. i'm HOPING to put a PWS CQB Comp on my rifle, figuring a way to permanently attach it, and having fun. that's this muzzle device, btw: CQB Comp, 1/2x28 threads, .223, retail packaging anyhoo, it was brought to my attention...

    My M40!!!

    very nice rig. i'm also a fan of Leupold, their cheap stuff is good, their top notch stuff is top notch! don't get me wrong, i'm sure SB makes awesome scopes, they sure as hell look and feel nice, but i'm a fan of Leupy. might be because i've been told by family how great their scopes are, and...
