    Have you Ever Bought a Gun.......................................................

    I almost bought a p225 because of Bourne identity...then I realized that the gun wuz p00p. not really but it is a heavy 9mm with only an 8 round capacity. hell, might as well have my grandpa's 1911.

    I want to show off my AR thread

    so much win in this thread... poly tac lights are the shit. they are the "primary arms red dots" of weapon lights. cost-effective and effective without all the douchery of the X300. blue force gear sling and stubby vfg are the setup for an AR. where is commie trader? lol

    Panic Stockpile Apocalypse 2016

    I have two. one is great but the other required a little gas key tightening after a couple hundred rounds. no problem if you have the tools and know what you're doing but I would spend some time checking it over. especially if this is your go-to rifle... I buy vdi lifecoat bolts now. A bit...

    Panic Stockpile Apocalypse 2016

    In a panic situation like the end of 2013, a non-popular caliber sidearm like a 38 super, 9x18 mak, 7.62x25 tok, or the similar was nice to have. That ammo was everywhere while 9x19, 40, 45 was scarce. Revolver ammo - if you like shooting them - was available for a while too. Of course it was...

    Dammit!

    I have the one brake and four flash hiders for the specwar on multiple platforms. no difference suppressed that I can tell. with the can off though, they are worlds apart. the brake has the most amazing recoil mitigation. the rifle does not move. however, if it did, you'd not be able to hear...

    that is so fucking ugly!

    Dammit!

    one last thing to consider...sico describes the brake as being a "blast baffle" when used with the specwar. as I understand it, this means that it is potentially a sacrificial piece to preserve the life of the can. I wonder what the expected life of the brake is when ran suppressed? might be a...

    Dammit!

    ok, so I went and measured my pws rifle with a 16" barrel and the specwar brake installed. note that pws lists this as a 16.1" barrel on their website. I put the cleaning rod down the barrel, reinstalled the bcg, and closed the bolt. the rod is all the way back on the closed bolt. I used...

    Dammit!

    I think you'll have to measure very closely. If a 14.5" barrel exceeds 16" with it installed from bolt face to brake tip, it won't be by much. Let us know! I have several of these and have looked at 14.5" barrels to pin to non-NFA uppers with a permanently mounted brake. Actually now that I...

    Primary Weapon Systems MK116 Upper - Review

    As to cycle rates - like everything else - it's going to be highly variable based on a number of other factors as well as the piston system. For one, I'm using a standard CAR buffer and spring with both 5.56 and .223 on the most "wide open" setting (at least for now). I'll make a note to vary...

    Talk me into/out of the AK74 platform and adding a new caliber

    If it weren't for the cost of the mags and the fact that mounting a decent optic on an AK in a quality manner is damn near impossible, that 106 would've been my go-to, everyday rifle...and I hate the ergonomics associated with AK mag changes.

    Talk me into/out of the AK74 platform and adding a new caliber

    My Arsenal 106 which now belongs to @EugenFJR was an amazing 5.56 AK. I never had one issue with it other than being flat broke after buying the magazines. I remember it shooting wolf and Tula better than brass.

    Primary Weapon Systems MK116 Upper - Review

    The AA / short-stroke piston seemed to be more of a "push" vs. the "snap" of a DI rifle. I did not focus as much on the PWS long-stroke impulse but it wasn't as different from a standard DI gun like the AA setup is. I think this is due to the fact that - like a DI gun - you only have one part...

    Talk me into/out of the AK74 platform and adding a new caliber

    the pistol grip is way too short and thin. the length of pull of the stock is too short. the comb of the stock doesn't fit my face profile...I struggle being able to get my eyes level to the sights on the 100 meter setting. the standard safety is awkward and requires that your remove your...

    Primary Weapon Systems MK116 Upper - Review

    all of the remaining freedom munitions rounds fired without incident. the only reason that I didn't shoot the final 20 independence rounds was that the gun was hot and I needed to let it cool before heading out.
