      Hunting ammo

      This past year I acquired my first AR-15: 5.56, flattop, 16” 1:7 twist barrel, mid length gas port. Spikes STU5035-R9S upper. Does well as fun-shooter platform for the range and can do SD backup. I have read innumerable stories posted online of successfully taking deer with an AR-15...

      Looking for abt 500 rnds of decent range ammo 223/5.56 for some shoot it now, but want good brass cases for reloading when I get setup.

      AR chamber/bore guide use??

      If you are using a 'safe' (maybe Dewey type) cleaning rod, bronze brushes, brass jags and applying reasonable care, is using a chamber/bore guide like AR-15 BORE GUIDE worthwhile for most mid-grade ARs? With the just moderate actual accuracy of a standard factory chrome-lined 16" barrel...

      The Official 1-4X Scope Thread

      I posed this question on another forum but received limited response. Hoping mdshooters is better. Have a factory standard 16" barrel, chrome lined, mid-length gas system and mid weight barrel with FFS in 5.56 for my first AR. It will do what I want without breaking my bank. For now, the...

      AR Basic information request

      I am into the purchase of my first AR-15 type rifle (Paperwork pending). Just want to get some basic facts for a comparison point when I start shooting. I have read a lot of threads with: "fired 80 rnds with no misfires/ FTFs" or "shot 40 without a failure" like it was an accomplishment. Is...

      Pistol/Carbine conversion - RONI

      16" barrel carbine conversion Carbine conversion for pistols. No NFA requirement. Same price as their original SBR version. This might suit better. Have to wait for some accuracy vs range data and check at what barrel length performance in various calibers starts to degrade with pistol...

      Ending Plaintiff's Attorney fees

      Federal Legislative Bill to end payment of plaintiff's attorney fees in prevailing suits against gov't. This is currently a federal issue, but could it move to the states if upheld? How would this impact 2A lawsuits if enacted at the state level - even a temporary moratorium? Have to watch...

      AR Uppers

      New to the AR rifle world. It seems that I can easily purchase assembled AR uppers thru the internet at between 5 - 10 % below MSRP - with occasional isolated sales cheaper. Can the local (generally NE corner of MD - Balt/Harford/Cecil) brick shops in MD be compatible with or beat the net...
