    AR-15 Magazines

    20rd pmags are a good length. I always shoot with a bipod and a rear squeeze bag either prone or off a bench and I always use a 20, works well. Try to het a bipod that will adjust to 45degrees fwd if you can. I like those types, and you can get pretty low to the ground with them. I know...

    AR-15 Magazines

    Ive wondered that myself. Pretty much any question youve ever had about the platform he has answered. Have you watched the magazine series? I know I learned more than a few things from it. I now own and use ASC mags along with pmags and Lancer, especially for my 6.8spc guns.

    AR-15 Magazines

    To reiterate, the video I mentioned at the beginning of this thread will/can open your eyes to qualoty magazines that most dont even know exist. Chris Bartocci is a recognized authority on the AR platform and just about anything to do with one. His video eval is a 4 part deal and he really goes...

    Bad experiences with the 1911

    MikeA1, I'm glad to hear you say that you dont have a single gun that doesnt work. Neither do I and I am always reluctant to say that myself because so many people do and just find it unfathomable. Granted I probably don't have quite as many as alot of folks but maybe more than some but they all...

    The Iconic 45 Automatic Colt Pistol.

    Always been intrigued by the 38Super and did regret my decision of the DW Silverback in 10mm for a minute, for just a minute and then told myself next time. The Big10 is a horse tall and does a 1911 proud. I love the 45acp cartridge and have more handguns chambered for that than others but the...

    Bullet weights in the AR-15 5.56 cartridge.

    Dub, howd those Bergers work out? Shot them yet? I bought a few boxes of them because I couldn't find any SMKs for a tolerable price so I decided to try Bergers, then, naturally I lucked into 500 SMKs at a good price so now I'm flush with distance bullets. The m855 is notorious for its...

    By Far My Favorite AR

    I was talking about loading these Accubond bullets up and seeing how they shot. I did load some and took them to the range but I shot them through a different rifle just in vase something went awry. These have to be some of the longest 224 bullets I've ever loaded, I mean they are long, way...

    Tools needed for building a 1911

    In the Sprinher 1911 thread some suggested building a 1911 and it gets me thinking. I'm a patient man who is very detail oriented and I have a great ability to use hand tools in fact I will always use a hand powdered tool before an electric one. I have always thought of building myself one but...

    Help me justify TRP

    If it is a used gun from an individual then I say do it, supposed to be an xlnt 1911. If it's a new gun then I'd say find someone else to give your money to. Yes, I'm sorry, but I tend to never forget and I do not forgive.

    Show off some of your favorite revolvers!

    Dub, I hear you about that damn lock, iys ugly, unnecessary and well just un-American but dont worry about carrying with the lock present. If it were possible to have it lock up from use Ida done it by now. Maybe when they first came out with the things but not now my friend. If recoil could...

    The Trolls are here again.

    Ok, been busy and not around much lately but what, this guy joins and then just sends you a PM or what? If that's how it went down then yeah, what a moron! Either way he said what he said hes still a moron! I'm telling y'all, people are lost man, lost. Yes, too many tribes in the US and all of...

    Alternative calibers for the AR platform

    It seems that I'm somewhat of an oddity too, just in the other direction, being that I only owned ARs in 5.56 until very recently. First off welcome!! The more the better. I'm behind the lines in mary- land. Of course we all seem to be behind the lines these days. Second, what's up with the...

    AR-15 Magazines

    OKAY Industries, Magpul, Lancer and D&H. Not necessarily in that order. The Lancer AW mag is the most underrated mag on the market and is actually probably the best made as far as poly mags go and maybe amongst all materials. OKAY is also top tier and have been around forever. Experiences? Never...

    Reloading needs NOW!

    Unfortunately I didnt specify that I personally wasnt including component bullets in my little rant, though there are plenty of con artists dealing those as well, but rather primers and powders. It's still fairly easy to find decently priced bullets. I will say that the better bullets are...

    Don't buy it!

    I knew it was a money grab from the jump. This is all BS. I wonder what the excuse is now? Just about every other industry is operating at previous capacity post covid but oh no, not the firearms industry. Ammunition makers aren't even offering excuses anymore and the old ones are played out...

    Alternative calibers for the AR platform

    What are the calibers you have other than 5.56 and why did you choose it? Being the most sold rifle in the US for a while now there are numerous calibers available, some great, some good and some absolutely useless. The only one I chose is the 6.8SPC and chose it because of its pedigree, its...

    Bullet weights in the AR-15 5.56 cartridge.

    Another great powder, for me and mine anyway, is Alliant Varmint. Superb velocity numbers and low SDs with the 62gr bullets I've loaded over it. For heavies I really like 2520, ARComp, TAC and 8208. I have between 6 and 8 pounds of each. Really wish I had stocked up on the Varmint too but...
