    Feeling more secure with a revolver vs. a semi-auto?

    Ill carry either one...but it depends on what I'm doing orcwearing. My semiautos all run like sewing machines. They are also generally easy to diagnose and repair if there is a problem. If the timing is off on a revolver, it takes much more to repair than a semiauto. Find what you trust the...

    Decided to buy a Turkiye made shotgun...not bad for the price.

    Vance Outdoors has the Gforce GFBP1220 12GA bullpup on sale for $199. These are the same as all the other bullpups coming out of there, but with a few less options. I didnt expect much out of it, but was pleasantly surprised. Of course, I had to run about 100 rounds of 1400fps ammo to break...

    Another disappointing gun show

    It's been years since I've found anything I just had to have at a gun show...the last find is my trusty Bull-Hide belt i bought in 2012 for $69.00. Still pleased over that purchase, and wear it daily without sagging issues. I went a few weeks ago in hopes of finding a decent used Mossberg 500...

    Magpul Bad lever Compatibility for MP Sport 3

    There is no difference between the Sport, Sport II, or Sport III in that part, so it should fit with no issue Sent from my SM-S928U using Tapatalk

    Printing my own parts...

    I decided to 3D print my own forward handstop after altering a file of one I found online. This fits my hand much better than the two I was given and one that I paid for. It's much more comfortable. I printed it with a carbon fiber filament and at a higher infill, giving it strength, impact...

    My first M&P15

    I believe I've got it the way i want it now. Put the new dust cover on it this afternoon. Ive put about 700 rounds through it since I got it, and am greatly enjoying it. I've been shooting with a buddy of mine who spent about 6 years in the sandbox. He helped me by spotting while I dialed in...

    M&P15x

    For around that price, you could get a Sport II, swapped out the handguard for something better, and outfit it better to fit your needs. My used Sport II came as a base, then I changed the handguard, added Sig Sauer Romeo and Juliet optics, a bipod, sling and light for about the same as that...

    Added optics and dialed them in...

    Before Christmas, I bought the Sig Sauer ROMEO-MSR and JULIET3 combo they had at Cabela's. Between the military discount and the fact that I bought the display model, I ended up with 40% off list price. Not too shabby... I installed them the other day, and got to the range today. This is 100...

    My first M&P15

    I moved the RDS to the receiver after reversing the mount on the device. It was the only way it would fit. I'll post pics once it get a chance. Sent from my SM-S928U using Tapatalk

    My first M&P15

    Ok...added the Romeo and Juliet, got rid of the light/laser, added a MAGPUL front palm rest and a 1000 lumen Streamlight with remote switch. I still want a bipod, and will laser etched the dust cover with my business logo and Psalms 23. At that point, I'll be done. I also picked up a stripped...

    My first M&P15

    New handguard came in today. Very easy to install, and secures with 6 screws. I won't be adding the luggage mount bipod...and will go a different direction with the light/laser combo. I'm thinking I like the Sig Sauer ROMEO5 red dot sight. I'm going to go up to Cabela's and see if they'll...

    My first M&P15

    Well, I've begun the journey to make it mine by customizing it. I removed the front sling mount and added a QD to the handguard, swapped in the ERGO 2 AR grip, and the Magpul B.A.D. lever. I've also added a ZBULAR ligh with green laser to the handguard, which necessitated removal of the front...
