    Looking for suggestions for a 308 Carbine.

    I have both M1a Scout and a DPMS GII recon. both shoot very well under 300 yards. Haven't shot either over that range. GII has never given me any failures or issues even with cheaper reloads from bitter root valley. Full flat top so you can mount any kind of optic you want. The recon in a 16...

    Marlin 336c (lever action in 30-30) as first rifle

    I have a 336c. I enjoy the rifle. The iron sights it comes with are not the greatest. It does have a little kick to it. But nothing horrible. Longest I spent shooting it was a couple of hours and went through about 200 rounds. Shoulder was a bit sore the next day. But not horrible. 30-30 is a...

    Looking for recommendations for a 7.62...

    I have a DPMS GII Recon. I love it. The Hunter version is actually lighter than the Recon. I believe the difference is in the barrel. The Recon is shorter but a heavier barrel than the Hunter. Shoots great , and since the controls are the same as AR I don't find myself fumbling for the safety...

    Stock For Mossy Cruiser

    I was replying to an earlier post. Haven't been on here in a bit and the new layout tripped me up.

    Stock For Mossy Cruiser

    That is a door breacher setup on a shotgun. While normally completely ridiculous. If you are doing door breeches it has a functional use in that to blow the lock off you don't have to slink down to get below the barrel to grip it up front. That choke is at the end so you can put the barrel...

    Sandra Bland: Forgets to signal, gets arrested, dies in cell

    The amount of bond is really at the discretion of the judge of how much he/she considers you a flight risk. 5k really is about normal. You only have to put up 10 percent. If you don't show for court then whoever bailed you out owes the full amount. If you can't find a person to put up the...

    Holsters

    I carry a full sized 1911 IWB I have both a galco and crossbreed. Comfort wise I learned it's all about where you position it on the body. Took me a few tries to find that "sweet spot" . With the a loose tee shirt I can even carry a commander sized 1911 and not print unless I am bent over. I...

    What's your next purchase? v4

    The Shield trigger is not really a good comparison to the rest of the M&P line. The Shield has a much better trigger than the normal M&P's. While they are not horrendous triggers. Glocks over all are much better out of the box triggers than M&P's. There are aftermarket triggers you can get...

    The Weapons That Special Forces Really Use

    Once again. I am not military only going off helping cops friends do their swat training as an adversary and fill person on a few mock entries. Just a humble civies observations helping out some cop friends do their training. So if a real operator disagrees I would go with their comments. But...

    The Weapons That Special Forces Really Use

    Why use a shield when you can pull up in an Bradley or Stryker. Purely assumption but I would think speed is a factor. Those things are very cumbersome and wouldn't do squat against a grenade or rpg. Police don't typically have to worry about those. Infantry or SF that would need that kind of...

    The Weapons That Special Forces Really Use

    Suppressors add weight and size to the weapon. Change handling characteristics of the weapon. Also depending on what kind it will affect the ballistics of the round, change POI.

    Any SKS owners here?

    Cheap ammo if you have somewhere you can shoot it. A lot of places won't let you shoot the surplus stuff cause it is bi metal. If you have a place you can shoot bi metal ammo no issue all. I've got 2 ak's that hardly ever leave the safe because non of the ranges around me allow bi metal ammo.

    Favorite 45 that is not a 1911

    I had a CZ and sold it. Just couldn't warm up to it. Don't know why. Aside from my 1911's my favorite is the XDM. Decent trigger for striker and 13 round capacity.Mine will eat every kind of ammo I have fed it with excellent accuracy. For a range day still prefer 1911. But if I had to carry...

    Disclosure to the homeowner...

    I would think it's a don't ask,don't tell kinda thing. He as the owner would have the right to say no a firearm there. But if he doesn't explicitly say you can't have one or doesn't ask you. You shouldn't have to tell him/her.

    Buy a new BCM upper or Aimpoint

    I'd get the BCM. Unless you can get the Aimpoint for a really good price those are always on the market. If the BCM upper is at a good price point and not a standard config you can get for that price. I would take the deal that is not always on the shelves.

    The definitive AR vs AK thread

    I'll go against the grain a bit. I like my AR's more than my Ak's. Lighter weight rifle especially when fully loaded, non bimetal ammo way easier to find and cheaper. I get better accuracy and follow up shots are faster due to lower recoil. Better iron sights standard. Sorry but standard AK...

    What to buy? Semi-Auto Pistol

    Glocks can be tricky for some folk. I have a friend that shoots circles around me when we shoot our 1911's. But can't hit the broad side of a barn with a Glock. And I know it's not the Glock because I can shoot my 1911, Glock, or XD's to the same relative accuracy. His accuracy just drops...

    High capacity semi auto vs a large bore L frame revolver for self defense

    You are responsible for every round you fire. So either way you go. High capacity 9 or .454 casull hand cannon. You need to be able to control where they go. My opinion about the larger caliber rounds is they get cost prohibitive to practice with regularly and also with the heavy recoil...
