      Receiver for a 10/22 build

      I am thinking of building another 10/22 rifle and am trying to decide on a receiver. My 3 choices are Kidd, Volquartsen, and Brownells BRN. The BRN is the most affordable and I feel like this is the way to go so I can spend the extra money on the important parts like the barrel, bolt, and...

      Fishing the pre-spawn and during the spawn? Thoughts?

      I am going to give you my opinion on this then you can tell me your thoughts. Do you agree or disagree? Any why. I don't believe we fishermen should be catching and keeping fish pre-spawn and during the spawn. Catch and release is probably ok. The timeframe for this happening is usually...

      Walter PDP SD PRO Compact

      I put my hands on one of these today and fell in love. I think I am going to sell my FNS and buy one. I really don't know much about the gun other than what I have seen on YouTube videos. It feels really nice in my hand the trigger is butter. It checks all my boxes. Does anyone here have...

      Benelli M4 Magazine tube question

      I just got a Benelli M4 and am interested in getting either the full length magazine tube or the magazine extension. Cost wise there isn't that much of a difference for some reason. From what I have read replacing the extension is pretty simple. But with the full length tube you need to heat...

      5.56 Ballistics of 55gr vs 62gr. vs 77gr.

      Question regarding an AR15 zeroed with 55gr. ammo and considering changing to 62gr. or 77gr. ammo. Should you stay with a certain grain ammo like 55 once you get zeroed or can you change to 62 or 77 without getting off zero by to much? I could probably figure this out myself at the range by...

      Best Optic for a Ruger LC carbine

      I am getting a new Ruger LC carbine this week and am looking to put an optic on it. I have been leaning towards several dots that include Trijicon, Romeo5, Holoson, and Primary Arms SLX or MD25. If you own an LC with an optic I would love to know why you choose it and how much you like it...

      Ammo storage question

      I am curious about how you guys are storing your ammo. I am assuming most of you use steel 50cal and 30cal cans. That's what I use. But what I am not sure about is whether I should take them out of the boxes they came in or not. Does it make a difference if I am labeling the cans? I would...

      Rifle question need answered please.

      So I would assume most people that shoot 5.56 use an AR15. I do. I know Ruger makes an American Ranch in 5.56 which is a bolt action. What I don't know is what can the Ranch do that the AR15 can't? Why would someone buy the Ranch? I don't think to many people hunt with 5.56 but maybe I am...

      Used pistol value for FN57

      I have an FN57 pistol that is the previous generation (no optics cut slide or pic rail on the bottom). It only has about 200 rounds through it. I have been trying to find out it's value on the sellers markets but there don't seem to be any listed (gunbroker.com and guns.com). I know new they...

      5.56 Ammo - Getting the right bullet for your AR15

      I am not an expert with AR's and their bullets so I am asking you guys to get me some feedback here. First a little bit about my AR - 16.5" HBAR 1in7 twist. Using it mostly 200yds. and in. I am trying to find the right bullet and stock up. When I first got the gun I went out and bought a...

      Ammo Question needed answered.....

      So there is an online website called Bucking Horse Outpost that sells ammo. They are legit. I have bought from them before. I get emails now from them when they have sales. Recently I have been seeing ammo they are selling that is labeled as "Police Trade-in Ammo". Can someone explain...

      Cool Idea for a meet

      I don't know about you guys but when I am in the market for an optic I have a really hard time picking one with all the different one out there and just being able to put my hands on it and try it. I think a meet with a bunch of guys from here that are interested in learning more about optics...

      Biggest fish caught using your lightest rod, reel, and line setup

      Tell us the story of a great catch on a light setup. I will start. I was bass fishing on the Potomac river last fall using a St. Croix Legend Elite spinning rod 7' Medium heavy action, a Shimano Vanford 2500, and 30lb braid. I was fishing with a rattle trap and I hooked a giant catfish. I...

      Best steel for your EDC

      I kind of have a thing for knives now for the last several years. I wouldn't say I am a serious collector but probably have more than I will ever use. I like trying knives with different types of steel and comparing them. There are so many different steels available today it is hard to pick...

      High end fishing gear

      I know there are lots of you that are fishermen on the forum but who takes their fishing gear really seriously? I have been an avid fisherman since my teens and over the years have used lots of different gear. I always thought good quality gear was worth the cost especially when it comes to...

      My first time pickling jalapeños.

      I picked about 2 dozen peppers yesterday and decided to try pickling them. Here's how I did it. I did 2 (1 quart) ball jars. 1.5 cups of water and 1.5 cups of white vinegar with 1 tablespoon of pink salt. Brought it to a boil. Put 1 teaspoon of mustard seeds in each jar along with 1...

      AR15 lower - Ambi vs. Non-ambi

      I have been looking at another AR15, the LWRC, and the non-ambi one is a lot lower cost than the ambi one. I shoot righty. Should I consider a non-ambi ? Thoughts?

      Sig Romeo5 vs Holosun403 red dot showdown

      I have an AR15 with currently a Vortex Viper PST Gen2 1x6 on it. I feel like I would prefer to just have a red dot instead. The 2 I am considering are the Sig Romeo5 and the Holosun403. The Holosun is a bit more in cost but not enough to make a difference. Both are under $200. I am not sure...

      Where to go for Magazines

      I am looking to purchase some magazines for a few of my guns. I live in Pasadena. I need them for a Sig P322, Ruger PC9, Beretta CX4 storm, and maybe the FN57. Who would most likely have them? Who would have reasonable prices? And who would be the closest drive outside of MD?

      Ammo prices at Walmart on the rise!

      I was at my local Walmart yesterday and stopped by the ammo section. I had not been there in several months and wanted to see their stock and prices. I was kind of surprised at what I saw. I have been buying the Federal AutoMatch 22LR box in 325 rounds there for a long time. When Covid hit...
