    AR malfunctions

    I've had a couple of issues with some of my builds that I will try to list here. One was with my 10.5" SBR build (556) that was due to using a CAR buffer when it was way over-gassed. It wasn't extracting the spent casing and picking up the next round because the bolt was moving too fast. A...

    Red dot for AR

    I've been round and round with many different red dots: lucid, vortex, cheapo knockoffs, mueller, and probably some I'm forgetting. never owned an eotech because I wasn't a fan of the setup and look-though on my buddy's rifle. having said all of that...I now only buy one of two brands...

    AR upper thread

    Eugen has first dibbs but I have no plans to sell it. I have owned several AKs now but none of them were keepers like this.

    I don't get it... Sight adjustment

    Front sight (or optical sight) goes in the opposite direction you want to move your group. For the rear sight, what handloader said.

    AR upper thread

    With the x39 upper - I would build one if I ever sold my MAK90. Agreed on the 22 upper. I had a 5.56 upper that the barrel extension was out of spec (cheap budget barrel) that I made into my semi-permanent deuce deuce slinger with the conversion kit. I already had all of the parts so it was...

    AR upper thread

    I have never delved into an AR x39 upper because "AK" (seems to work with that round with less hassle) but I have contemplated the AR x39 upper many times. 300BLK is a no brainer. I have one SBR currently and the ammo prices seem to be coming down a bit. With the more expensive subsonic ammo...

    Top 3 Dodo Nominees

    I'm thinking it's only a matter of time for 40sw, 357Sig, 45GAP (I thought it was gone already), and I think there may be some Soviet milsurp calibers that disappear eventually like 762x25 tokarev (which would suck because it's a fantastic round) and 762 nagant. I think 5.7 might not be around...

    Top 3 Dodo Nominees

    I'm actually seeing 6.8 at cheaper prices than ever. so it's either getting more popular or retailers are offloading inventory before pulling the plug. I am a fan of the round myself. I'm convinced that it is the optimal round to hunt deer in Georgia using an AR-15 lower.

    Adams Arms

    I had an AA upper previously. actually I've had two of them now that I think about it...a 7.5 pistol and a 14.5 middy. both were fine...a bit heavier than a DI gun in the same configuration. also the piston setup limits aftermarket selection for hand guards and the such. the recoil impulse is...

    ATI's 9mm MP40 reproduction approved for import

    wouldn't 922r come into play if you were to SBR it? what's the aftermarket for those US made parts?

    Did I screw up?

    I've always added my items to the schedule A after I've submitted the form 1 / 4. I haven't had issues yet, but I'm no lawyer.

    Help putting together an AR lower

    my must have tools are a nice set of roll pin punches, a brass or nylon hammer, needle nose pliers, correct hex keys (for the trigger guard), and the castle nut wrench. automatic center punch helps in staking the castle nut (they come loose) and a thin, sharp knife helps to hold the front...

    Is it really that bad?

    No, 2nd World Pot-Metal handguns are kool. Just not the Sig Mosquito. I heard that one will give you the Zika AIDS.
