      Where are all the cheap lowers?

      I've been trying to get my hands on 3 bare bones functional aluminum lowers either completed or coming with a lower parts kit for under 200 bucks and it has been a nightmare! It was not long ago at all that there were a bunch of good deals out there, now Anderson is out of stock and nowhere...

      What is this rifle?!

      I saw this rifle in a gun shop in PA. At first I thought it was some kind of Norinco rifle on account of the slant cut receiver, but other than being marked 7,62x39 and the serial number there is no other markings on the damn thing, and the features are just bizarre. The receiver is an acute...

      The straight dope on FNC/Nitride/Melonite

      Okay, so I have over the last few years sent off many guns to be treated by first MMI trutec, and then H&M, which I vastly prefer, since they actually will polish out your barrel's bore before sending it home and the finish is more uniform, among other things. Anyways, I wanted to make this...

      Why is Joe Manchin such a Buttface?

      Didn't he used to be on our side? I recall a time when people were talking about the guy with favorable words, now all I hear is him blasting us about common sense gun laws and appearing at moms demand action committees Did bloomberg pay him off or what? What exactly happened here? He is...

      shooting at snowden river parkway at wegmans

      on my way to work today at about 3:48pm, at the light at snowden river parkway and where wegmann's is going south I was paying NO attention to my surroundings, just in usual auto pilot driving to work. I look up and see a pistol come up between the seats of the car ahead of me. I didn't...

      What the heck is going on w/glock finishes?

      Okay, so I tend to be the guy to give help to my friends when they need it cleaning or caring for their weapons- I try to teach them to fish rather than just handing them a salmon, but I do end up with my hands on many of my friend's guns In the past two weeks I've seen 4 glocks test fired...

      HOLY CRIPES LOOK AT THIS GROUP

      I just had to show this off. This is a 10 shot group fired from sandbag out of one of my older builds consisting of a stripped lower and a for the most part complete JSE nitrided m4 profile upper. I always got decent accuracy out of her, but I recently put a piece of gorilla tape on each...

      To all polymer lower users:

      STAKE YOUR CASTLE NUTS! while under extended an tough use I've had a castle nut or two back off a bit. Not enough to be troublesome, but the nut DID back off on a few Aluminum lowers. For the most part though, for an aluminum lower, torquing to 45 lbs works great for normal use. HOWEVER...

      Steer clear of NCstar ar-15 armorers tool

      okay, so because of some upcoming projects, I thought I might trade up from my well used, well loved, and dependable tapco combination ar-15/ar-10 armorer's tool. Before I pulled the trigger I was lucky enough to ask Teratos what his opinion of the matter was, and after advising a good torque...

      MAKE THE DRIVE TO DUFFY'S

      I don't know if I should have made a thread about this, but I didn't know how else to go about it- I just wanted to get this out to the community: Duffy's may be out in the styx a bit, but I am not kidding when I say it is the best gun shop I have ever frequented. I recently did a couple...

      Bear down and take a liberal to the range

      I know they can be infuriating,and they talk out of their asses, but hear me out. Ammo is finally cheap anough again that it's feasible to spend some on 'good will' shooting sessions. Although some are very set in their ways, many liberals are only the way they are because they have not...

      Melonite a Mosin?

      So I have a friend who is going to be sending out a lot of stuff to H&R for meloniting/QPQ nitriding and he says if I pay shipping there and back I can throw some stuff in up to the 50 lbs limit of the lot, which would leave me about 12 pounds and change of stuff to send off. Soooo.... I...

      New tax on out of state transfers?

      Okay, so I was going to do a transfer with A&D Pawn in glen burnie and they told me right before I was going to hang up the phone and start the process that I would have to pay 60 bucks plus MD sales tax even though the item is being sold from out of state. They tried to do this once before...

      Tetra Gun Grease causes rust

      Just like the title says. I did some testing after finding some rust on all the firearms that I treated with this stuff, and tetra applied to mild steel plate rusted faster than the control by about 20x It's been hard to track down the individual components of this stuff, but be aware. I...

      My father passed away, prayers would be appreciated

      Yesterday evening around 11:00 pm my father Richard Andrew Ost, a veteran of more than a decade of hard service for our country in vietnam and elsewhere, passed away at the Baltimore VA medical center. Any prayers would be very much appreciated. He is a good man who gave up everything to...

      What happened with PMC ammo?

      Hey guys, I just wanted to create a forum to discuss a phenomnenon I have been noticing recently. Due to PMC being very affordable I have shot it often through my 5.56 firearms, as it is brass cased and copper jacketed so I can shoot relatively cheap without having to worry about steel cased...

      HQL questions

      So I am now thinking I'm going to have to bite the bullet and get this stupid HQL so I can buy the things I want to own that are not C&R. So my understanding from the legislation was that I would be exempted from having to do training if I already owned a handgun, which I do many times over...

      Shooting dis-information

      So I was doing some research on Tokarev barrels and magazines as I just got a new (to me) Norinco 213 in 9mm that I was lucky enough to get ahold of with a chromed bore. So I was doing some investigation, and I see there is a lot of conflicting information out there. First off there are...
