    Ammo: What does the 15-22 like?

    I recently bought a used 15-22. I've only had it to the range once with an odd assortment of the ammo I had on hand. While most of it worked ok, none was completely reliable. Failure to fire, failure to feed, failure to eject, poor accuracy, etc varied from one type to another. I'm well aware...

    CMP Resumes Pistol Sales

    I got an e-mail from CMP this morning. They're selling 1911s again. :D A few changes in the rules. No more "Rounds" of sales. No more Random Generated Numbers. Its first come, first served until they're gone. Still a lifetime limit of two per customer, but you can order two at the same time if...

    Scope mount torque?

    I bought a one piece scope mount off e-bay for my 15-22. It didn't have any instructions. Anybody know what I should torque the rails screw to? I'm thinking about 20-25 in/lbs. That sound right?

    Federal Regulation Freeze

    Among the E.O.s signed by Trump today is a freeze on new federal regulations. While this is in effect for all federal agencies, if I'm understanding this right, it will mean that BATF&E can no longer bend federal laws in such a way as to restrict our 2A rights. No more making legal firearms or...

    The new year, new me theory is all well and good. Many people are motivated to make New Year's resolutions to try to improve their lives. Some are quite enthusiastic. However, studies have found that by the second Friday in January, 80% of those people have given up on their resolutions...

    Replacement handguard?

    I have an opportunity to pick up a used M&P 15-22 at a good price. However, it has the quad rail handguard which I don't like. I see that replacing it isn't hard and have found the tool needed for about $15 on the net. I would like to replace the handguard with the MOE version. However, when I...

    Yet another Security Six

    There have been several threads recently about the Ruger Security Six revolvers. I'm like these guns a lot and own 2.75" and 4" versions. But I've always wanted a 6" just to kinda complete the set. Just on a whim, I posted a WTB ad on my local state gun forum. I've actually done this before...

    Painting a rifle stock?

    I have a Springfield M1A Scout/Squad rifle that I bought used. Love the rifle, but it has a woodland camo synthetic stock that I absolutely hate. I do like the feel and weight of the stock, just don't care for the color. I have considered painting it black, my preferred color, but I'm concerned...

    Python grip question?

    I recently bought a 1978 Colt Python. Problem is it has a set of rubber grips on it. :( I'd like some good wood for it. Originals are hard to find and expensive. :rolleyes: However, current model take offs are plentiful and fairly cheap. Here's my question: do the current Python 2020 grips fit...

    Colt revolvers: new vs old in size?

    I've been looking at the new offerings from Colt with a great deal of interest. I have a few older Colts and like them a lot. But I'm wondering how the new ones compare to the older guns as far as size. Particularly the medium frame guns. I'm a big fan of Colt's older "D" frame revolvers...
