Mini-14 won’t cock.
I had installed an accessory that said orientation didn’t matter, and it does fit both ways, but seems to bind up if inserted upside down. The way that it has to go in makes sense intuitively, I was just a sucker and followed the third party instructions instead of Rugers (which is probably why...- phx223

Mini-14 won’t cock.
Figured it out, I put the buffer guide rod in upside down. Not the easiest fix, but it’s all good now.- phx223

Mini-14 won’t cock.
Buy a mini-14 they said, it’ll be fun they said. I bought a brand new stainless mini-14 a week ago, and after lubing it up I’ve cycled it a few times to get some grittiness out of the action. Took it apart today and cleaned out some lube, put it back together, went to cycle it and the charging...- phx223

3D printed metal gun parts?
Are they strong enough to depend on? I’ve read this mini 14 mag release is pretty amazing, but it’s printed over 4 weeks by and additive 3D printer and I’m not sure if I’m setting myself up for brittle fracture with such a product. Any thoughts...- phx223

50 state legal modern sporting rifles?
My wife is in the military and we move a ton, so I was thinking of buying a mini-14 to minimize hassle that comes with moving. I like the “tactical” version due to the shorter barrel, but was wondering if that version is considered too scary anywhere as it does have what looks like the...- phx223

Missouri Gun Shop: No Guns or Ammo Sales for Biden Supporters
Party registration means zip. I grew up in a region where either party could produce local political leadership and registered as an independent upon becoming of age. Sometime later I got stationed in a place where the entire political spectrum was dominated by democrats, and the primary...- phx223

Weapon Lights, smaller instead of brighter.
I guess I should clarify. I was very impressed with how small the sig branded weapon light for the 365 is and wonders if there’s been any rifle or carbine mounted option that has also shrunk down. Like the sure fire titan plus, but mountable. Then again it looks like it’s simply a 2 oz... -
Weapon Lights, smaller instead of brighter.
It’s been a decade since I put a Surefire scout on my home defense rifle. It’s a big and heavy light all the way out there at the end of my rifle, so when I saw that the new sig p365 has a tiny light that lights things up as well as a much larger light of yesteryear I decided to look and see... -

You fill it so fast. Schwan’s Omaha Steakhouse Costco Grocery Store Bought one months ago, and due to limited stock in my area I got one that I thought was too big. When it got to my house I thought no way I ever fill this, a few weeks go by and it’s full, and I’m figuring out how...
