      Use Pinned Gas Blocks Exclusively?

      I am getting tired of set-screw gas blocks. I went to change the dust cover on one of my AR's. Took off the free-float hand guard. Barrel nut was still in the way so I removed it, but, I had to remove the gas tube. I go to drive out the pin holding the gas tube, but the set-screw gas block...

      Desantis Slim Tuk - I like it

      Just got this Desantis Slim Tuk and put my LCP II IWB in the small of my back. Totally forgot I was wearing it. Very comfortable. Took about two minutes to adjust the tension.

      Recommend a Revolver Speedloader for a S&W 64

      Last speedloader I bought 30+ years ago was an HKS. Is that still the one to get? Model 10-A for a S&W 64.

      AR 9 Colt Mag Variations- Beware!

      I want to share something with you guys. I was having problems with my 32 round Colt 9mm mag. The 10 round Duramag mag ran fine, but the 32 round ASC mag caused FTF issues. Found out why. Look at the pics below. I have a KAK magwell insert on the table and the two mags (I ended up getting a...

      Ruger LCP II 380 Reliability Issues?

      I have been reading complaints about reliability for the LCP II. The take down pin. The mag falling out (weak mag spring). And on top of all that. Ruger no longer makes the LCP II in 380. Any LCP II owners out there having issues? I have not not shot mine enough to encounter any problems.

      ATI Alpha Maxx $320 HBAR AR

      An inexpensive HBAR AR for Maryland. One caveat - I think this may be a polymer lower rifle (although with steel reinforcements). Might want to investigate. https://gunivore.com/brands/american-tactical-imports-review/ but if you are on a tight budget ...

      Nice pin and weld work

      Got a three lug pinned to my Banshee clone at Engage. Also transferred my 9mm CMMG lower at Engage. Great service and the build turned out great!

      Why didn’t we use the Dreyse Needle Rifle in the American Civil War?

      I found this video interesting. I would like to see a demo of one of these needle rifles in person one day.

      Carry Handle Mounted Red Dot

      Why would you put a carry handle mounted red dot on a removable carry handle? On the Palmetto State Armory customer gallery I am starting to see multiple pics of this configuration. Example posted below.

      Diamondback Sidekick Pistol - Good Value?

      What do guys think of the Diamondback Sidekick .22 LR revolver? $250 on GrabAGun and it also has a 22 Mag cylinder. I thought I saw on for sale in the classified too. Is it a good value or a "get what you pay for" kind of gun?

      "Gentle Recoil System" For AR9 PCC

      I am looking at ways to make my AR9, not so much gentle, but less jumpy and able to stay on target (more for fun than anything else). Some guy (his Blog at blowback9.wordpress.com) came up with this recipe for an AR9 that is supposed to stay on target better (so he claims) than a common AR9...

      Solution for AR PCC with Colt-style Magwell Inserts

      The Colt-style magwell inserts use the existing mag release. This is well and good, except that the mag well makes the well thicker and the release is not able to engage as far into the magazine. My 32 round mag was falling out with my MILSPEC mag release. I found an ambidextrous mag release...

      KynShot Hydraulic Buffer for PCC?

      What do you guys think of the KynShot hydraulic buffer? I am considering it for a 9mm PCC with a 16" barrel. The lower is MILSPEC with a Hahn Precision magwell insert using Colt-style mags. There is a standard and a heavy damped model...

      A Great 45 ACP PCC Build

      Maybe skill or just good luck, but I had this recently approved SBR in 45 ACP at the range Thursday and was able to nail 8 and 10" gongs past the 100 yard line at AGC shooting off-hand. My son was also shooting with me and was also able to make the same off-hand shots. After trying various...

      Do You Clean your Rifle After Every Shooting Session?

      Some folks don't think it's necessary. Others equate not cleaning your rifle with taking a dump and not washing your hands (or worse) afterwards. And there are those (like me) that want to but don't always get to it immediately. What do you guys think?

      What's The Advantage of 32" Barrels for a Sporting O/U?

      My current O/U is a 30". What's the advantage of having 32" barrels for a sporting O/U? I've never owned or a used a shotgun with 32" barrels. Just curious what you guys think.

      Ruger Mini 14 or Mini 30? What do you guys think?

      Every year or so, I think about getting a Ruger Mini 14. I also like the Mini 30 but I have heard they are not as reliable. Opinions?
