      What caliber for new LR-308 build?

      Just got a new upper & lower from Gibbz Arms for an LR-308. Was looking at building a 6.5 PRC since I have a 6.5CM in a bolt gun and wanted something with a little more 'umph'. I even considered a .300 WSM. Then I tried to find a bolt with a .540 bolt face. You would think with the...

      FK BRNO PSD vs Tanfoglio Witness

      I am deciding where I am going to spend part of my tax return this year and I have narrowed it down to the above mentioned platforms. Would be a platform for heading into the woods, et.al.: Deer/Pig/Bear/Defense. The PSD comes in 10mm and 7.5FK while the Witness can be found in 10mm and I...

      .277 Sig Fury "non-hybrid" loading (mind exercise)

      I have been looking at the up and coming Sig Fury round. There has been no indication yet on whether the steel based rounds will be reloadable, so I got to thinking (always a dangerous consideration)....I am a relative newbie to reloading, so I decided to jump into the deep end of the pool...

      Background check databases

      My google-fu has apparently left me tonight and for the life of me, I can not find the thread that discusses how invasive the Maryland Regulated Firearms Background Investigation is. Can I get an assist?

      WTF does "Returned without Action" mean?

      I am looking to convert my custom built 350 Legend AR pistol (14" barrel) to an SBR because my LOP is right at the limit for what they might consider constructive intent (plus the possible future brace problems); so I decided a $200 insurance policy was worth the possible headache(s) in the...

      Can you buy a gun buiroster approved approved frame?

      If the Maryland roster shows that a particular gun frame is approved, can you legally transfer a completed firearm manufactured on that frame or is it "build yourself" only?

      EAA Witness 10mm. On roster?

      I am in the market to purchase in the near future an EAA/Tanfoglio Witness in 10mm. I am down to between the Elite Match or the Elite Stock III. After looking through the roster, I am confused if either of these are legal for sale in Maryland.

      Headspacing with spent cartridge

      I have a Savage Model 12 with a wildcat barrel installed. Took it to the range for its maiden voyage and was having multiple light primer strikes. After using a comparator between a factory round and a spent casing, the difference was 0.013, which tells me I have a headspace problem. As...

      Not happy with Ruger right now

      I dropped my Ruger Mini-30 off at Duffy's to have the barrel shortened and threaded for a suppressor. When John chucked the barrel up, he couldn't find any part where it was concentric and found 2 warps in the final 4" of barrel. Called Ruger and the Customer Service said to "Send it in and...

      RIA Double Stack 10mm

      I was looking at the ROCK ULTRA FS HC - 10MM (52009) and was wondering if these are on the roster? I know they 16 round mags would be unavailable to be transferred, but what about the pistol?

      VP9 or VP9SK ??

      I have decided my next pistol will be one of these two, but I am having trouble deciding which one would be best. (assuming they both fit my hand and "feel" the same) The primary role would be a carry weapon for when I visit more freedom loving states that will accept a FL NR CCW. The...

      Pistol choices for someone with numb hands

      A friend of mine that lives in PA is interested in getting a 9mm pistol for home defense (possibly ccw). Unfortunately for her, she has peripheral neuropathy and her hands and feet are constantly numb, so she really can't feel the trigger's tactile response. We are thinking a lighter trigger...

      Which Savage model to get?

      Bear with me a moment as I post some very specific criteria to attempt to keep this from going off the rails, as a discussion elsewhere did. I will be building a bolt action wildcat rifle in which the barrel is only available to fit a Savage short-action .223 frame. My preference is to find...

      Stock options

      I just picked up a Ruger American Predator in 6.5CM for a steal. There are much better shooters than I taking these things stock (with good glass) and marching them out to 1,000 yards and beyond. Since I am not that good (and don't plan on shooting near that far), I decided to give myself a...

      Sig SRD762ti-QD vs YHM Nitro 30

      Got my trust set up and am ready to jump into my first suppressor. This will be a multi-platform unit for the following calibers: .308, .300 Blackout, .270, 7.62x39, and eventually .277 Wolverine. I have narrowed it down to the two cans mentioned in the title. The Sig is less expensive...

      AR Pistol ~ What caliber?

      I have had a Spike's stripped lower sitting on the shelf for a while staring at me and I am getting tired of its disapproving looks and whining, so I have decided to do something about it. She is going to become a hunting pistol. Now, I know with a pistol length barrel, .223 will just barely...
