Hi all,
I recently acquired an 8mm Egyptian contract FN-49. The top cover latch is snapped off so I purchased a replacement, but I am not familiar with how to remove, replace, and then peen the metal. Does anyone know if I would also need a new return spring guide rod as well? Anyone know of...
It was an HBAR model from the factory. I believe it was a Model Number 8511. Barrel is 1:8 twist and cold hammer-forged, so pretty decent for an entry level AR. She’s a little heavy because of that, but still handy enough. May switch it out for a barrel with a mid-length gas system at some point.
A couple of years ago, I bought a rusted out No.4 Mk.1 (not a * which was cool!) for $90 and had to completely refinish it. Replaced a few parts: one of the barrel bands, sight protector, rear sight, a bunch of screws, etc. Refinished the stock as well, but didn't know about steaming the wood at...

CZ-75B
My first foray into the world of CZ. A 2018 manufactured CZ-75B that I picked up in March. Have to say I absolutely love it. The recoil feels almost non-existent compared to my Glock 19 and 48!
Two AR builds
Hi all,
Here are two of my more interesting builds. Top started life as a Ruger AR556 but there’s isn’t much left of as you might be able to tell. Mostly Geissele parts now!
Bottom is a USMC SAM-R inspired build, but it’s chambered in 6.5 Grendel. I say inspired because I...
