Hey all, I'm going to be shipping my Colt upper to Adco for some barrel/rail work, what's the best method of shipping said upper? I'm a little bit nervous about sending my upper off and what could happen to it. So what would y'all recommend? Best Wishes

Just thought I'd let y'all know in case you didn't. SKD is running a site wide post Christmas sale through Tuesday. They've got everything down 15% Monday then 16% Tuesday. Great site with great gear and awesome prices, fast shipping too. I just ordered an EOTech XPS2-0 for $430 shipped. Tons of...

The twist rate determines what weight of bullet you can shoot accurately. A 1-9 twist does best with anything from 40 grains to 60ish grains. While a 1-8 twist will do better with high 40s to mid 60s, and the mil spec twist, 1-7 does the best with 55 gr rounds all the way up to 77 gr rounds. My...

It really depends on what you want. You're really looking at two opposite ends of the spectrum of ARs. The Sport is a fine rifle that will serve your purpose well, but it's not a completely comparable model with the Colt 6920 (which is the AR I own.) the Colt will have all the features and...

Forgive me if I'm wrong but I believe that is an anti-walk pin, put in place to ensure the fire control group pins don't work themselves out during the weapon's lifetime of use.

Thanks for the input and advice everyone, I did get an email from Primary Arms about the rebate which only reinforces my plans of getting one soon. I did get an opportunity to handle a 512 yesterday and absolutely loved the reticle, and liked the sturdiness of the optic. I don't really plan on...

Hey y'all, another decision that I'd like some input on from the gang here. I'm looking into an EOTech 512 A65 for my Cot 6920. I love the reticle design and the window field of view. Now I just want the opinions of the members on the 512. I know there's a big Aimpoint following here but I'm...

Moving cats In my experience, which is limited compared to other members here, cats are very movable. I've had to move with my family a few times and each time we had inside/outside cats and a couple that were almost always outside. We typically moved them last so there wasn't as much chaos for...

I'm thinking about putting a drop in Troy rail on my Colt LE6920, I like the MOE handguard it came with but I like the look and sturdiness that a metal quad rail has to offer. Plus I get tired of taking the handguard off to mount grips and rail sections etc Anyone have any thoughts on those...

Really appreciate everything y'all have said. It was a heck of a time trying to figure it out. But as more time passes I'm more and more satisfied with my Colt. I finally got some time off from work so I get to take it to the range today (along with my trusty M&P 9). It won't be the last AR I...

Well guys after all those weeks of trying to figure out what to get, I made my purchase yesterday I picked up a Colt LE6920 from my LGS, he had a deal on it I couldn't pass up. I was a little disappointed that its not a Smitty, but I feel I got a quality rifle. I want to thank you guys again...

It's not a S&W but I'd like to show off the new purchase anyways :) Just picked up my Colt today! Still love S&W's though!

Anyone had dealings with them? They've got a great deal on the AR I want and would like to get it soon. Just looking for some feedback on their service, shipping etc. Thanks!

TS will be the likely buy unless I happen upon a DD for an equal price. Otherwise it's hard for me to argue with all the goodies the TS has. Thanks for the input.

Okay guys the search is narrowing... and widening... and narrowing again lol. I've got it down to 3 finalists that I can't decide on. the TS as mentioned above the Daniel Defense M4V7 and the Ruger SR556 (with the Ruger being the cheapest) What are the opinions on piston vs DI? (that may...
