Re: Autopsy of a Rifle: DPMS Oracle

Hmac, it's kind of a Pepsi/Coke or Ford/Chevy thing but just thought it was interesting. It's more than that, Ford, Chevy, Ram, Toyota, etc.. are not simply building trucks from a single set of plans and specs like a milspec AR15 rifle. There are general performance expectations within, say, the ha...

Re: Autopsy of a Rifle: DPMS Oracle

Interesting read. I did note: Barrel nut broke loose at 90ft/lbs. The acceptable range is between 30-80ft/lbs for a USGI barrel nut. I can’t tell if it was over torqued at the factory, or if the 60 rounds I fired before tearing it down caused some carbon issues since the threads were not treated wi...

Re: Autopsy of a Rifle: DPMS Oracle

So they pulled a bottom of the line rifle engineered to be as cheap as possible without blowing up in the buyer's hands and sold to the unwary public at mass market sporting goods stores to prove what exactly? Yes, if you cut as many corners as possible to produce an "AR Shaped Object" the...

Re: Review of private firearm purchase

Your schedule is not the seller's problem, you clearly were able to make the time to meet up and purchase the gun... as you noted, you should have taken the time to test it shortly after the purchase if you ever intended to go back to the seller with a problem. There's a level of risk you accepted w...

Re: Court ruling Minnesota latest state to call BB gun 'firearm"

Interesting case, seems ripe for an appeal. Municipalities have already started creeping toward this with local regulations, for example, in Blaine's city code book there is an ordinance regarding "Firearms/Hunting" that lump BB-guns, air rifles and sling shots into the same "deadly w...

Re: Review of private firearm purchase

Regarding the terms of the sale.. Reporting an issue with a used firearm 6 months after purchase is a big problem for me... The seller has no way of knowing what's been done to the firearm (cleaning, maintenance, etc..) or how many rounds you've fired in that period of time. The mode of failure you ...

Re: Review of private firearm purchase

That looks like an Arminius, German made pot metal revolver - Bob's has parts in stock including a replacement spring kit (guessing your firing pin spring is bad) for $20 that might bring it back to working order: http://www.gun-parts.com/regent/ Those seem to sell for closer to $200-$250 so, while ...

Fallkniven F1 - I joined the club today

VG10, Swedish design produced in Japan, their flyers carry it in their standard survival kit. Good blade in the 150ish range.

Re: Debates on 2A?

I think Cruz is as unelectable as Paul, he'll draw strong support from people who traditionally vote Republican on the far and evangelical right, but alienate the independent/middle ground voters who win elections. Rubio and Fiorina are both strong on 2a issues with more appeal to moderate and indep...

Re: .22 LR

When XM855 in the 30 caliber cans was the hot item I was chatting with one of the gun counter guys who straight out bragged that he'd set aside 2 cans for a friend and 2 more for himself in the back room because they were going on sale the next day. It wouldn't take more than one or two employees at...

Clearly we now know where all the rimfire ammo has been hoarded.
