    Help with an AR

    For this rifle I'd like just a aperture (probably) rear that will work with the AR standard front that it already has. And not a folding, reduced size one that was made as a backup to the optics. An iron sight in any case.

    Help with an AR

    I've had an AR, a Colt Hbar Match Elite for close to 20 years but have never been in the "black rifle" world. Just acquired the pictured CAR, as I guess you would call it, with a flat top receiver. It needs a sighting system. I have no intention of ever shooting this in a match, just looking at...

    Gabby Giffords husband buys AR-15

    Since there is no Irony, Hypocrisy & Sarcasm section here on BR.Com, I vote this should go into the humor thread.

    Cuomo, Schumer and Bloomberg too!? Hard to believe that we're in the same nation as NY.

    Bullseye Camera System.

    "Frustrated" covers a lot of potential ground, what's the problem? That camera system looks to be intriguing based on their website description.

    Remington700 accidential discharges

    I'm more than a little familiar with Remington actions and know that there is not, and never has been, any problem with accidental discharges. If you start screwing with a stock trigger unit, you can screw it up but I've been around literally millions of rounds fired from Remington pattern...

    Can someone tell me the "real" difference between 205 & 205m primers.....

    I frankly doubt the inspectors to find defects on other than the macro level. We, benchrest people, are worried about the micro differences of the 1% or much smaller range that will make a .01" difference in groups. A (or 5) guys looking at a sea of primers flowing past them simply aren't going...

    22 rimfire ammo availability

    On another forum with several thousand members there is an ammunition thread where people from around the nation report on what's available in their areas. There are sporadic reports of 223 and various pistol rounds, fairly common reports of 20 round boxes of centerfire rifle hunting rounds of...

    An ammo type that I haven't heard of

    DCM or CMP or whatever they're called these days sounds plausible as a source. They had to have something to feed all those 22 rifles that they were selling. Plus the cases of ammo come in the same foil wrappings that the rifles came in. Mostly I wanted to establish a plausible & legal chain...

    An ammo type that I haven't heard of

    Probably be a week and some before I get it, it's coming to my Florida address from CA. Not looking to sell, just wondering if anyone else has run into this. Looks appealing to me with all the stories of 525 round packs of Federal and the like selling for $50-$75 these days. Based on the...

    An ammo type that I haven't heard of

    I entered into an agreement to buy a case of 5000 rounds for $300. It is Remington, boxes white except the Remington logo, 40 grain lead bullet standard velocity. It is described to me as Military contract, intended for use in military matches. Anybody know anything about this ammo? I've...

    Ruger 10-22 ammo

    Never been intensively into very high accuracy rimfire. I did buy a pretty good Remington 541X from DCM a while back and bought some Eley and Lapua stuff to test that out. High dollar rimfire stuff is wasted on my more or less stock 10-22 that does mostly plinking and offhand shooting work. So...

    Ruger 10-22 ammo

    Ditto that. Hopefully you already have some rimfire ammo. My 10-22 digests pretty much everything that I've fed it including Wolf Target.

    What is going on?

    Point being that people buy everything they can get their hands on just because it is there. Not saying it's immoral, just human. I do it too. If I were in a local Walmart and noticed them putting the 525 round packs of Federal .22 rimfire (or similar) on the shelves, I'd buy as much as I could...

    What is going on?

    It is called hoarding, a natural tendency to grab and store every bit of some commodity when a perceived shortage occurs. An example that I saw two weeks ago and even participated to an extent was being with a few shooters when it was discovered that a local store had 10 or so thousand Fed...

    Good rebuttal to government gun-grabbers by David Mamet

    read though the very best part was the single line appended below the video of Obama announcing his gun "plan": ‘In announcing his gun control proposals, President Obama said that he was not restricting Second Amendment rights, but allowing other constitutional rights to flourish.’ Orwell...

    feinstein bill

    What I've read says that the Dems have 6 senators against the bill, meaning it doesn't have even a senate majority much less the 60 needed for if there were a filibuster. Now Obama will try to accomplish the same thing through decree.
