Ah, the old 9mm vs 45 debate. It's OLDER than I am, it's as worn out as I am, and it accomplishes about as much as I do. This would be a relevant comment if it weren't for the advances in bullet performance over the last few years. I agree, these days it appears to be a moot argument. The trend see...

I'll be honest, I'd probably buy a set of PSA golf clubs if they made them. Unfortunately I don't golf, or shop at Sears... chasing little white balls around in the grass is for poodles, unless you're chasing them in the scope of your rifle a couple hundred yards away (the balls, not the poodle... t...

One doesn't have to be an "operator" to prefer a reliable, well-made firearm that is better than just "good enough" anymore than a weekend duffer might want enjoy a nice set of Pings rather than some Arnold Palmer sSgnature Editions from Sears. Which also certainly would be &quo...

It never ceases to amaze me how much bandwidth is spent on topics like this. But by all means, carry on. http://www.goldwingfacts.com/forums/images/emoticons/popcorn.gif Yeah. Because the internet is otherwise nothing but pithy, erudite, and well-reasoned discussion. :roll: How coul...

I prefer a toga, better airflow and less chafing... just gotta watch the wind gusts or I end up bringing frog-town downtown.

How the hell did I miss the deer-pontoon thread? I'm going to borrow a set of HMAC's 5.11 briefs and go track it down.

I shouldn't be entirely shocked, but when I heard the news on NPR this morning it was of course of a "school shooting in Flagstaff AZ!" Followed quietly by a few qualifiers, like it happened in a parking lot, at 1:20 in the morning...in a gun free zone (oops, they forgot that part). This w...

You persist in a head-in-sand Yugo approach to firearm quality despite UnaStamus' sophisticated attempt to educate you. Having owned both PSA and BCM carbines I have no horse in this race, brand loyalty is not a thing with me; rifles built with "known" components built to published and me...

I don't see much gasoline here, just the same tired self-justification and "one time at band camp" stories, as long as you are comfortable that what you paid for your rifle makes it better than everyone else's rifle, operate on. :) Are you talking about the self-justification by those who...

What would a gun forum be without a regular rehash of the classic "if it's not Colt/BCM/Novenske/LMT/Daniel Defense AR, it's a *******'s boom stick" debate.

Purchased a Buris P.E.P.R. from Arnazen arms. Probably over paid a bit too much but needed it now. Went next door to Menards to get a line level, LocTite 242 and a paint pen for the install. 2 questions: - I'm reading about torque specs- I don't want to buy an inches pounds torque wrench- how do I ...

TL;DR. I'd like to buy an AR. I'm not a face shooter or 3 gunner. I'm cost sensitive but buy quality tools when I do buy. What brand or AR (aside from the very expensive brands I've read about like LaRue, Noveske, etc) do I buy? I hear Colts are nice. :) For the price, the PSA premium line is the b...

Well, sustandard materials in the build might be in-spec, but they're still sub-standard materials. It might shoot perfectly well for awhile before the bolt shears, or the mag catch wears, or you lose a SS detent, or the RE breaks while you're mortaring a stuck Wolf shell casing, or you get throat ...

So if the "autopsy" process doesn't take into account the most important consideration (in your mind) in buying a rifle why are it's findings even relevant? Evaluating the DPMS Oracle and comparing it to a milspec rifle wasn't revealing anything new, anyone who's taken a few minutes to loo...

The Nikon M223 single piece mount in either 1" or 30mm" is my personal favorite AR cantilever mount, you don't need the XR version unless you plan to shoot at particularly long range and have restricted elevation in your optic but it's an option for a few bucks more. A QD optic mount on a ...
