I am interested in finishing an unfinished aluminum AR lower and have been doing some research. I understand that the prep work is probably the most important part so I'm thinking about sandblasting with aluminum oxide. I don't have any sandblasting equipment or experience and I'm hoping to get...
Here is a new build from an eplowers 80% pink blemished. I machined out the lower with my cordless dremel. The process was not too painful but i had problems with the trigger/hammer/safety selector. i had to go a little deeper at the back of the trigger pocket so the safety would fully engage. I...
I am building a 22 AR from an ep lowers 80%, a CMMG 22 upper and a standard buffer assy. I have it just about complete but don't know what to do with the buffer/spring/retainer. Do i use the buffer assy that came with the tube or is there something else, like a plate, to use with the 22 upper...

Thanks

I just got my 1st SKS and in disassembling to clean it I see the firing pin has a nic out of the corner. Is this safe? if i need to replace it anyway should i get a spring loaded one that resists the slam-fire i read about. So far what i have read is you just need to keep it clean. But what is...
Howdy,
Just started to renew my enthusiasm for shooting and found this great site. I went to the public trap shoot at agc a couple weeks ago and had a blast. I hadden't shot clays since i was 16 or 17, 25 yrs ago. Then last week I got an AR. I figured before the election is as good a time as...
