      Best place to get an MSAR/STG 556/Steyr Aug before Oct 1?

      I've always wanted a Steyr Aug or look-alike, and thanks to recent legislation it looks like I'll have to do it sooner rather than later. But this is kind of a rare breed of firearm, and I don't know the best place to find one. Any suggestions? Also, any advice on which of the clones to...

      Anyone know of any deals on M1As (or at least ones in stock)?

      My dad is looking for an M1A. He prefers the synthetic stock over the wooden stock because that's how his was set up back in Basic during the Vietnam War. Other than that there aren't any particular qualifications. Anyone know of any deals or online stores that have them in stock? Thanks.

      How does the "one per month" regulated firearm restriction work?

      I tried searching on the forum for the answer, but couldn't find it after a quick search. I know we're limited to one regulated purchase per month, but I also know that it's possible to buy two regulated firearms at once, and then have to wait two months before buying another. If I just...

      Looking to find an AK-47 before the ban hits, where's my best bet?

      I want to get a AK-47 before the scary weapons ban goes into effect in October. I already have an AR, and I don't have the budget to get a bunch more rifles before the ban goes into effect, so I figure the AK makes sense as my second (and final :tdown: ) one. I'm looking for an AK-47 in the...

      Just got my first new gun in awhile, a S&W M&P9c

      I don't really have a photo ready, but heck, if you've seen one M&P9c you've seen 'em all. At first I thought I wanted one without a thumb safety, but I found a great deal at Kentucky Gun Co ($412 shipped) and they only had the models with the thumb safeties, and now that I have it on hand, I...

      Thanksgiving = Clean your guns

      I haven't been shooting in awhile and I just took my Remington 700 out for the first time in awhile. The bolt release and magazine latch were gummed up with junk. It's nothing that solvent isn't going to fix, but just a reminder -- this extended holiday weekend is a great time to make sure all...

      AR-15 FSB removal question (or: what did I get myself into)

      So, I didn't really think things out very clearly from the get go. This is the AR-15 that I built. It's what I thought I wanted at the time, but it turns out I didn't exactly know what I wanted. It's now wearing a Nikon M-223 2-8X scope in the M-223 mount. You can probably guess the obvious...

      USPSA Clinic at Quantico, April 10

      Anyone here doing the USPSA clinic at Quantico this Sunday? It's listed on the schedule. I'm trying to get pre-registered but I haven't been getting any responses to my emails, and I don't just want to show up on Sunday morning and then have the trip be in vain. Anyone have any more...

      Good Deal: Nikon M-223 scope promo (free mount through May 31)

      Nikon is running a promo for a free M-223 mount with purchase of an M-223 scope through May 31st. It's not a manufacturer rebate kind of thing; the free mount actually comes with the scope (not bad, right?). The M-223 has been on my radar for awhile and I think this promotion is actually going...

      Trying out my new 1911 IWB holster

      My Supertuck-style IWB holster for my full-size RIA 1911 Tactical arrived in the mail today. I've been wearing the (unloaded) gun in the holster around the house, and I had to say something here because you guys are probably the only people I know who'll understand how $#^!ing awesome it feels...

      Savage 12 in 6.5 Creedmoor with HS Precision stock

      So I tried posting this in the Rifle section and no one bit. I guess the tactical/practical long-range shooters probably hang out in this sub-forum more than the other one, so I'll try again here. What do you guys think of this rifle? Savage 12 LRP Is it just me, or would this gun in...

      Savage 12 in 6.5 Creedmoor with HS Precision stock

      Savage 12 LRP Is it just me, or would this gun in 6.5 Creedmoor be absolutely amazing? I bet it'd put my Remington 700 5R in .308 to shame at the 1,000 yard range at Quantico.

      IWB or OWB mag holder for IDPA/USPSA?

      I want to do the USPSA clinic at Quantico on April 9th. Unfortunately, I don't have a full kit ready yet, so I need to make some last minute purchases. I'd be using a full-size RIA 1911 Tactical. I know I'm not going to win with that, owing to mag capacity if nothing else, but it's what I...

      Quantico Range 1 Rec Shoot Sat. March 19

      There's a rec shoot at Quantio Range 1 tomorrow morning/afternoon that I think I'm going to try to make it out to. I know the rules changed at one point regarding handguns on Range 1, so does anyone know if they're still okay, or if they're not allowed? Also, anyone else going?

      $400 total budget for a scoped .22 LR; your suggestions?

      My next gun purchase is definitely going to be a scoped .22 LR, because the only scoped gun I have right now is a Remington 700 5R in .308 and that isn't the cheapest cartridge to shoot. I think I can budget around $400 total for the rifle, including cost of the scope and mount. Your...

      Is this .45 ACP brass too corroded to reload?

      A month or two ago I was out at Cresap shooting my 1911. The .45 ACP brass was falling into puddles and snow. I wiped it all off cursorily, but I then proceeded to do something really stupid -- I put it all in a sealed plastic bag and went away for a week. When I came back -- yikes...

      Fell in love with my first AR

      OK, pre-emptively, I'm just going to say that I don't have pictures yet, and as I'm heading to Canada in a couple hours for a week for business travel, don't expect any pictures any time soon, either. Please no fat chicks! So I just got back from taking my first AR-15 to the range for the...

      Photos of my new CMP M1 Bayonets

      I finally got around to taking pictures of the bayonets I received from the CMP from the sale in late November. Here they are. I included the EN 5 one that I got previously as well. The other three are a WT modified, an OL unmodified, and an OL modified. All three of these were sharpened...

      How is Sabre Defence's reputation?

      I haven't heard much about Sabre Defence before, but there's a classified on ARFOM that is really tempting me. It has all the features I want (mid-length gas system, 16" barrel, free floated rail system, flat-top rail, and FSB).

      Took my new RIA 1911 Tactical out for the first time today

      I shot my RIA 1911 Tactical for the first time today at Cresap (it was a holiday gift from my dad). Yes, I know, no pictures yet. I'll take some tomorrow when I have the benefit of sunlight for lighting. It was fun to shoot, and fortunately the ammo is no longer painfully expensive. It's my...
