    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...

    My first M&P15

    Was out and about yesterday, and came across this barely shot Sport II at a buddy's house. He bought it a few years back, fired maybe 300 rounds, and moved on to a custom build. I paid $450 for it as it sits. I've got a Colt and a CMMG version, but this is the first M&P15. I'll go through our...

    Pre Model 10...help me please

    I would definitely say that the work done to the 38 is pre-1968. I have a friend in forensics that further developed the acid process, even wrote a book and developed kits to assist. I might call him in and see if we can raise the numbers from the dead. Darned shame to find this one, though...

    Pre Model 10...help me please

    This is what I was afraid of. I'm helping liquidate a friend's collection inherited from his father, and out of the collection, this is the only one I've had this trouble with so far. I have removed two from the collection due to being too far gone to do anything with...he plans on using those...

    Pre Model 10...help me please

    I'm a semi-automatic guy, generally, so bear with me please. I have what appears to be a pre-Model 10 K frame revolver. It's a hand ejector 5 screw with strain screw and fixed sights. The serial number is long gone...I've looked on the butt and front strap, and removed the wood thinking that...

    I buddy of mine's father was recently taken to the hospital...it's not good for him. My buddy was called in to clear his father's collection of coins and firearms. With him knowing nothing about firearms other than how to shoot them, he called me in to handle the collection. In the...
