    Carbine length on 14.5" and 16" barrels - why?

    Been meaning to ask this a while now... Why do these exist? Why not just make them midlength? Is the higher gas pressure advantageous under adverse conditions? Better for full-auto, maybe? For a civilian AR, carbine gas seems to me obsolete in 14.5" & 16" barrel lengths. But I see a ton of...

    I'm getting close to finishing a competition rifle build and need to pick a stock. Current config: Loki 18" double fluted rifle gas barrel, 17" carbon fiber handguard, Aimpoint T1. Current stock is a cheap M4 stock I had laying around. As configured, it weighs just over 7 lbs, but feels...

    Hey all, Thought I would share a few photos of some rifles my father and I acquired in a trade for a motorcycle and get any opinions / info on them. In particular, if anyone knows a good resource for valuing these rifles that would help too. I'll probably list them for sale on here pretty...

    Two sight posts or two targets?

    Is it better to focus (sharp vs blur wise) on one of the apparent front sight posts and line it up with a single target image, or focus entirely (sharpness and eye alignment both) on the front sight and aim at one of the two apparent targets? I'm extremely close in left-right dominance, with a...
