    Forend stock/grip replacement

    First thing I did with my Sport was to switch out the hand guard. As many have already stated the stock one does not have a heat shield. Besides the infinite number of quad rails that are out there, there are other options. I chose do go minimal and go with the Magpul MOE. You can add only the...

    Greetings from the Far Left Coast

    @Delos: My wife and I were dating and together when the '89 quake hit and that was pretty bad. After that it was a matter of making sure that we had our 72 hour kits ready. You know, food, water, blankets, etc. When the Japanese quake and tsunami hit, that really opened our eyes and 72 hours...

    My First AR... Being in the Right Place at the Right Time

    @PD: was he mad? No HE wasn't mad. I really think he was nothing but a lookie-loo. The guys standing behind me... they were pissed.

    My First AR... Being in the Right Place at the Right Time

    I was in the market for an AR for over 5 years as part of our home defense and emergency preparedness. I already had a Mossberg 590A1, XD .45 and Marlin 795 in our cache. I held off on purchasing an AR while we built the rest of our emergency system... come on they'll always have AR's available...

    Greetings from the Far Left Coast

    Evening everyone! Joining the SWF after the purchase of my M&P 15 Sport here in San Fransicko, Kalifornia. Got into firearms as part of our emergency/earthquake preparedness system. My decision to purchase an AR was accelerated due in part to all of the anti-firearm legislation in...
