      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...

      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.

      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...

      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...

      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...

      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...

      922(r) and M4 mod?

      Order a carrier comp tube and he includes a us made follower that counts. Then you just need some fft front grip and you’re golden.

      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...

      Benelli M4 is an amazingly soft shooter.

      Freezers

      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...

      New p365

      What’s the safety on that gun? Glocks have the trigger thing right, but this has nothing?

      Moving guns in a roofbox in the summer?

      No actual space in the car due to the layout and the other things that are being moved. It’s either the box, or with movers, and I’m not 100% on trusting the movers. And the box could be empty, could be full, but everything is visible in the car (I empty the passenger compartment every overnight...

      Moving guns in a roofbox in the summer?

      So I’m moving again this summer and am thinking of storing two pelican cases rifles in the roofbox for the duration of the trip. But I’m not sure about if that would be too hot. One of the boxes has custom cut and glued closed cell foam, the other just the normal foam that comes with...

      Capacity differences between brands?

      Three 18.5” home defense shot guns walk into a bar... Seriously though, why for a given barrel length are Remington 870’s only 6+1 while Mossberg and Benelli are 8+1? In looking at mag tubes that are flush with the 18.5” barrel how do mossberg and Benelli get 33% more rounds in?

      Ruger Mini-14 normal capacity magazine prices?

      Looking at getting a mini-14 or mini-30 as they seem to be 50 state legal and I realize I move too darn much to have an AR anymore. So, how have prices on these magazines been in the past 14 years? They are nearly 100% more expensive than colt factory AR mags, and I was just wondering if...

      Wilson Combat Supergrade vs Classic vs Les Baer Concept IV

      This is a bragging piece. It will be used very little, just like the rest of my guns. Well it's a three year wait to get a supergrade, and since I'm not sure where I will be in three years, or what the cost will be (they can literally charge whatever they want, even with a deposit, and...
