Re: Don't lose your cool
I have experienced 2 break failures when driving. first time I half kept my wits about me. when the peddle hit the floor, I was able to pull into a parking lot, that ran parallel to the road. I stamp on the parking break, that will do the trick, but no it did nothing. then I slapped the car into par...

Re: Feels like it’s time to start stocking the caches...
Anyone considering selling some of their stores right now? Prices are unreal...I’m seriously thinking of cashing out a big chunk to build a detached garage with a small 1 bedroom guest house at our new place that’s nicer and on more land, but a lot smaller than our old house. I’d consider using it ...

Re: No, really honey, last one...I promise: Aereus Lev
I am planning on doing a lightweight build in a WWSD lower, but I have to say that your commitment to the light weight is impressive.

Re: What have you bought in the last 48 hours?(firearms related)
Ordered a peep sight from Steve's Guns for my Rossi 92. The older I get, the more I like peep sights, hopefully this will work well. I love the Rossi rifles for being handy, but they don't lend well to optic mounting. I look forward to a range report, I don't like the open sights on my Rossi, but n...

Re: multitool
My problem with multitools is that the majority of their owners only carry one. Why is that bad? Okay, hold the nut and tighten the screw at the same time. You can do one or the other, not both. That's the issue, you often need to use two tools at the same time, but if you only have the one you're ...

Re: Firearms CHAT: [2020 - Year of the Squib]
Is it too late to get one of these for Christmas? Depends how fast your machinist is. Makes me think, though, as a CQB-type vehicle-mounted system, how terrifying would a 12ga minigun be? Someone would have to make some slug tracers, so you could have like 5 buckshot and 1 slug. :shock: 4 buck 1 sl...

Re: 80% AR Lower
I got an interesting e-mail today from SJD Supply. On December 10, 2020, ATF agents entered Polymer 80's warehouse in Nevada. They were seeking out their Polymer 80 BBS branded kits. At the time of this email, we are unaware of any kits being seized and JSD Supply has not been contacted in anyway by...

Re: 80% AR Lower
interesting, apparently you can legally sell the 80% lower, just not with the rest of the parts?
another case of "it's legal till we don't like it"? can't wait to see how that plays out in court.

Re: Firearms CHAT: [2020 - Year of the Squib]
I'm tempted by the KP15, as it wouldn't actually be much if any more than the parts...however, then I'd have a spare lower running around, which I'd feel compelled to turn into another gun. :roll: just be aware that there will be long lead times for the KP15 lowers. they have been pre-selling them ...

Re: 80% AR Lower

Re: 80% AR Lower
the polymer lower I bought back in 2012 (complete, not 80%) would not run well for me. the polymer allowed enough flex in the alignment of the buffer tube that the bolt would not return to battery after each shot till I loosened my grip on the rifle. I cant recommend any polymer lower that is in the...

I cant inprove on raptor2 recommendations, I just want to emphasize one part. A Glock 19 can easily be rented at a range. Have her shoot it several times first. That is the first part of the choice.

I really want to find a bayonet for my 1917 Enfield, but they are incredibly expensive and relatively rare, considering they were not interchangeable with ANY other rifle before or since.
