yeah, black hole has a good reputation, but i think i'm gonna stick with the Rainier. even if it means i've gotta wait a little longer You might consider checking with Atomic Tactical. I know back in November they were stocking Rainier barrels, and their prices were on par with what you would pay g...

i'm trying to get a bbl from Rainier arms, specifically the 14.5 Medcon Select Series http://www.rainierarms.com/?page=shop/detail&product_id=3541 i submitted my email to the "notify me" link three weeks ago. i don't want to email them, because i think they likely have more important t...

Anybody have experience with Core15, DSA, Double Star or Stag? I'm looking for $900~ flat top, with A2 front post setup that most $900 ARs come with but have not heard much about them. Am I better off dropping the extra $50-100 to get a M&P or a DPMS? Anyone have experience with the lesser know...

because of the same reasons listed. for COMBATIVE purposes in CLOSE QUARTERS. as for the SBR not being as effective, i think that's a bit of an old wives tale. there's lots of guys out there with 16" 308's punching holes at distances other people said they couldn't. the 300 BLK is an example of...

Fortis REV eh. i know, some folks love the Fortis ones, but i just can't. i'm stuck on stupid with the tube style handguards, they're great. i forsee too many things getting caught in the wholes of the Fortis if i were to take it on a stalk in the woods (not that i'm GONNA, but hey, it's a theoreti...

I don't know about Noveske's price being out of line. I sold a 3 year old Daniel Defense Light 9.0 for about the same price it cost me to buy a new NSR 9. The barrel nut is managed with a simple crow foot wrench. Having said that, I'm not sure there's anything magic about the keymod system, at leas...

we all know of the Noveske (original?), the Mega MKM (uses Noveske, i think) and a quick google search came up with a soon-to-be-released VLTOR billet monolithic unit. Odin Works also makes one that's noteworthy: http://www.odinworks.com/KMod_Forend_12_5_p/f-12-km.htm are there any others? i'm plann...

i guess i don't see why Talo would put their name on that gun. it's not like it's got a different finish (think Talo SP-101) or different grips (think Talo Colt 1911's) or anything like that. it's a 10/22 in an ATI stock.

so Magpul is making US Palm mags? i think i'll stick with the steel GI mags i have

don't get me wrong, i love the PMags i have, but at the same time, these things aren't gonna be readily available until summer '14, based on the hype. that's my prediction at least

emailed Ruger just now, we'll see if they respond

i need the nut that holds a Ruger scope ring. preferably black. if not, i'll just order a new ring

i'd prefer the factory style, where it's knurled for hand tightening, and slotted for torquing with a screwdriver

that's a sweet rifle! how long is it when you extend the stock all the way? that's my biggest gripe about AR stocks on AK rifles, with the stock fully extended they are insanely long. then again, Doc, you're a tall man. it's just a hair over 36.25" all the way forward and almost 40" all t...

i'm considering modifying my AK to be a 14.5" bbl with an AR type brake. i did a little looking into my M+M M10 AK-47, and it appears to have a Green Mountain bbl. i've also heard a few negatives about these bbls, namely that they aren't built to great tolerance, and they get sloppy. i'd like s...
