      CZ75 22 variant?

      Hi all, I'm looking for a dedicated 22LR pistol that has ergos of a CZ75. Prefer to not buy another one and get adapter for it. In the past CZ made a Kadet pistol but this appears to have been discontinued years ago... Anyone know if this exists from another manufacturer? Sent from my...

      Mounting barrel/handguard on 9mm AR

      So I recently got an AR-V lower/upper/bcg to take advantage of my many scorpion mags. The upper needs to be built out, I've never done this before. I've got a spare 10.5" 9mm barrel. Have a torque wrench 10-100ft-lb, have a magpul wrench. Have a vise with insert for holding the upper. With...

      Ammo for breaking in CETME L

      So the manual for the CETME demands NATO-like SS109 aka M855 ammo, 62 grain, to be used for break-in. I'd ideally do this at the indoor range in Owings Mills, which people are telling me will forbid the green tip M855 I've got. What else is a good substitute for the M855 and allowed for indoor?

      Green tip 5.56mm at indoor ranges

      Do indoor ranges like Guntry Club in Owings Mills allow M855 green tip in rifle lanes?

      CETME 5.56 scope ring height?

      So a friend recently purchased a MCM build of a CETME 5.56mm. As a starter, I've got a 1-4x scope I wanted to offer for it... What's the normal scope ring or mount height for these? Not looking to co-witness, and keeping the CETME stock as-is (don't even know if there are options there). I'm...

      Colt LE6921CK-CMR12 upper?

      I'm looking at the Colt LE6921CK-CMR12 upper, with a 14.5" HB. Or at least the website says it's an HB, which counts for MD, right? Will this be a decent upper to use without SOTAR work? As in, it's decent out of the box and not like other uppers I've had before? What is a good price for these?

      Sharps Bros heatseeker chassis?

      I got an email recently about this chassis: https://sharpsbros.com/heatseeker-chassis-w-14-carbon-fiber-hand-guard/ It's available now for Howa mini action which is exciting since it's the only kind of center-fire bolt action I now shoot, and I have a Grendel barreled action with no chassis at...

      Anyone bought a Galeo aka US-made GALIL?

      Is there a chance a US-made Galil is worth getting? https://aimsurplus.com/ati-galeo-5-56-rifle-polymer-furniture/ Don't want the issues M10X users get...

      Is Davidson Defense too good to be true

      I searched in this subforum but didn't come up with much. I was browsing for a 9mm AR upper assembly and found this: https://davidsondefense.com/Davidson-Defense-Tiger-Lily-AR-15-Pistol-Upper-Receiver-105-9MM-QPQ-Nitride-1-10T-Barrel-10-KeyMod-Handguard-Assembled-or-Unassembled_p_3873.html...

      AR-9 pistol that isn't horrible

      I'm looking to get an AR 9mm upper that simply works. The only ones I see from retailers is PSA and I'm not looking to do QC for them... I've got a normal AR lower I want to use, and can get Colt magazines and mag insert. Looking for the most common variant that would have max compatibility...

      Recoil on 9mm AR pistols

      I'm interested in building a 9mm AR pistol from stripped lowers I was planning to buy in the Colt mag pattern. Earlier threads explained that process well. My intent is to get an upper with a 9"-11" barrel unless there is a compelling technical reason to go shorter, and couple that with a...

      Easiest to manufacture WW1-era bolt action military rifle

      Hoping to tap into experience of people who have oddball and dead-end bolt designs from that era, Lebels, Caracanos, various Mannlichter versions, etc. Was there a design in that era that was dramatically easier to manufacture that the others, with the technology available at the time? While...

      Howa 1500 mini action build

      I recently completed a new bolt action build and took it out to Delmarva. Similar to another recent poster, I bought a Howa barreled action for $350 last year. The interesting thing about this one (to me at least) is that it's a 7.62x39 Cal model, and is specifically designed to shoot combloc...

      Issues with MDT LSS chassis magazine latch

      Question to anyone that has a short action MDT LSS chassis (Howa) - has anyone had issues with the pin that holds the magazine latch in place? Mine slides back and forth nearly free when the chassis is shaken. This can't be normal. Has anyone else experienced this? Sent from my SHIELD Tablet K1...

      Bolt action rifle barrel break-in

      Tried to search in this, didn't get much... Was wondering if someone knowledgeable could help me out. I've got a Howa 1500 short action with a Howa bull barrel that I'm putting together, it's kinda ridiculous - barrel outer dim is basically the same from chamber on down, that's how thick this...

      Vortex Diamondback Tactical too good to be true?

      Been looking at the Vortex Diamondback Tactical 4-12x for a 300-500 yd benchrest rifle. Seems too good to be true - (supposedly) decent glass, strong magnification, exposed turrets... I held it briefly out of the box, eye relief seemed ok. Will I regret this one, given that it is buyable for...

      Anyone use the Wolf A1 upper (T91)?

      This AR piston upper is interesting in terms of novelty, AIM Surplus has them right now - https://www.aimsurplus.com/product.aspx?item=XWAUT91 Has anyone used these and can comment? What is the part compatibility between this and a milspec upper? That I wasn't really seeing explained well...

      Starting a Remington 700 223 HBAR build, need advice

      Hi all, I've been pretty disappointed with my Mossberg MVP 223, looking to build or buy an alternative benchrest rifle in that caliber. Don't really need it for much else, 223 price/performance is ideal for the ranges I typically shoot at. Maintaining the MVP was obnoxious, parts were very hard...

      New CZ 455 Evolution with a scratch on the stock...

      Hi all, Just picked up a new CZ 455 with the Boyd's Evolution stock... I began shooting just before SB281 passed just as 22LR became harder to obtain, so this is both my first 22 bolt, and my first wood stock on any firearm. Couldn't be happier with it. Haven't gotten glass on it yet - I...

      CZ455 Varmint vs American models

      Ever since I sold my 10/22 last year I've been 22-less, and wanted to get a bolt action this time. Always been a fan of CZ firearms, and wanted to build a benchrest bolt that will be fun and cheap to shoot for the family, and a good way to practice the fundamentals. There seems to be ~$130...
