Since most ARs have a fixed gas port, the buffer weight and spring tension can help you to tune your rifle for optimum operating. If you have "too much gas" a heavier buffer or stronger spring can help to slow down the rearward retreat of the bolt carrier so that it doesn't try to yank you...

I really liked the A1 and I'd like to put together (or buy) a clone today. It's on my list. The A2 always struck me as a hog, but I didn't doubt that it was "better" in some respects.

Very fun stuff!

Welcome back and good luck on the new chapter. One hopes there will be burning of the sulfur and nitro in it!

Numrich gun parts or VTI gun parts perhaps.

That is too bad, as they also have a .22 LR version of the M9, which, to my knowledge, is the only such one on the market. There are lots of .22 versions of the 1911. I was interested in the M9 version for cheap practice, but don't have the money to toss around on poorly-built guns. :( +1! I like t...

Cabella's on line had CCI Minimags this AM (my fav as far as .22lr is concerned) and Rem. Vipers (not a fav). One 100rd box limit! :shock: Well, dagnabbit, that sucks but I did need some other items so I grabbed a box of each, put them with another few items, added the CLUBFIVE promo code that gives...

I've owned 1911 types many times, currently don't have one. I like them and yet I'm looking at something with a larger capacity and perhaps a DAO action. Ruger used to make .45s like this but with an 8 round mag. The hi-cap .45s do not fit my hands. I've not fired one, but I have held one and they ...

I gotta say... that the law officer was polite, while the citizen was being obstinate. I agree that the guy has the "right" to walk down the road with his AR... However, in accordance with Supreme Court rulings the officer also has the RIGHT to disarm the guy and search him for the office...

Just a thought, but if you reem it out and it is long enough to take .357. And later in life you sell it or your heirs sell or even don't know its not for .357, you could be creating a hazard for life and limb. Steve Agreed. Which is the rub. OTOH it's no big thing to engrave the barrel with "...

My local Walmart had .22WMR HP today for $13 and change for a box of 50. That's the first rimfire I've seen there in a long time, other than 22 shorts for $3.97 a box. I probably bought 15 boxes of shorts over a couple of days for the grand kids. My LGS has had .22LR...even bricks...off and on and ...

I believe that court costs should be paid by the loser of a lawsuit, as YK suggests and mebbe some of the BS lawsuits would go away. It's seen even on TV; "We'll take on your case for no money down, and if we lose, you won't pay a cent". Yep the system is broken (too many politicians are ...

Still pretty dry in Tucson. No .22LR to be had, powder is really dry and brass is short. Most everything trickles in, but it's gone within minutes so you have to be Johnny on the spot to get it.

The issue is our legal system. In many other countries, the loser of a lawsuit pays for all the legal expenses of the winner. This really discourages frivolous lawsuits when plaintiffs are trolling for a settlement. Unfortunately, there are too many blood-sucking parasite lawyers in Congress to hop...

What's the advantage Joe? Capacity no? Since placement and handling are not issues for you, and that's why most people opt for a full sized 9mm, why would you choose the 9 vs a .40 or .45? Only capacity. Well, these days you have options for high capacity .45 ACPs as well! There's the Para high cap ...

I don't consider the HP superior to the 92, though nicely set up examples can be. Out of the box though, Berettas tend to have better triggers than factory military HPs, though the HP fits most people a bit better. The 92 is much larger than a 15 round 9mm needs to be, the grip is too thick, the sl...

As stated, far too big/heavy. I like it! It's just not a scout rifle. And regarding Remington pump rifles, you can put quick detach mounts on them in the normal location and leave the iron sights alone. Forward mounted scopes are a serious compromise - no need to do that with the Remington. I do lik...

What a great pistol. I love Hi-Powers but don't have one right now. That must be rectified!

I'm also not overly impressed with all the script on both sides of the pistol, and in white letters no less. I dislike that also. So much so that I may paint mine.

The GSG is a zinc casting, isn't it? Yes, and aluminum. I have one and while it's fun, it's not anything to get all excited about IMO. I think I paid $300 for mine. If they're more now it's not worth it I don't think. It is fun to shoot, and it's a good way to practice the 1911 manual of arms, but ...
