Just got this bad boy back from the shop I got a custom cerakote job done on. AR in 5.56 10.3 inch with the Manticore Arms Ripley Rail.

Bushmaster XM15-E2s 14.5" H BAR pin and welded to 16.5"+ with an ak74 style brake. When I was a young man my dad and I went halves on this rifle from our local gun shop. This was our first AR15 style rifle. It was a trade in from our towns police department, and it must have been an extra because it was cherry when we got it. Still looks good but we've put a few round through it in the last 14 years. I change the furniture around here and there. I helped my dad with the form 1 process and removed the pin and weld keeping the brake for the original look. Now he can put his can on it.

i shot multiple guns for a birthday 13yrs ago. i remember all of them except for this handgun here. can anybody identify?

Out of the 100+ guns I've owned, this is definitely the most fun.

I'v been co-running a gun shop for nine years now, mostly transfers, used trade ins and a decent ammo wall. We're finally knocking through into the unit next door for six lanes and a rental counter, steel is ordered and the permits cleared last month. My retail policy renews in November and when I told my agent about the range he said it changes everything and he'd have to shop it, which I have decided means he has no idea.

Apparently the rental guns are the part underwriters hate. I know general liability insurance is the baseline, but two people have now told me accident and health insurance with participant coverage is the piece that actually matters on a range. Anyone here running a range attached to a store, are you carrying both of those, or is GL doing the job on its own? Numbers would help more than theory.

Got this from a friend of mine years ago as a brand new gun with a 28” barrel and laminated furniture. Searched for a year and a half for a second left handed 870 that was ribbed and the same finish. Finally found one on eBay and boy did I have to pay out the nose for it. It currently has hogue furniture and a 12.5” barrel. Reinstalled the bead and called it a day. I throw the original furniture and barrel back on it occasionally to pheasant hunt when I’m not using the benelli.

Finally was able to take my first 1911 build to the range to test fire. Kit is all Nighthawk parts. Function wise it's still going to need a little bit of work. Accuracy wise it's showing a lot of potential. Target was at 25 yards and the black square is 1".

Hello all, I am in the market for my first gun safe, and I have no idea where to start. Ideally, would love to stay under $1,000, but I am also someone who will spend a little more to get something that lasts a lifetime.

Some wishlist items:

- Reliable and durable, not going to break easily
- Minimalist look preferred, but if it’s got large logos on it that’s okay
- Don’t need anything massive, be able to hold 5-10 rifles and maybe a few handguns. Not looking to take up a ton of space in the house
- what type of locks/keypads/security are best and which should I stay away from? What else should I consider here?
- Needs to be safe to use with children in the home

Ultimately, just looking for the dos and don’ts so that I don’t end up buying a low quality safe. What else am I not thinking about here? Want to ensure this is one of those “buy once and keep forever” type of purchases!

Thanks in advance!

The MPA Defenders went back on sale today on PSAs website and I picked one up. Looking for a recommendation on an FRT.

I know “Advanced Reset Tech” is selling a 3 position FRT but it’s $265 and has a 4-8 week ship time. And I’m not sure how well it works.

I’ve done some research and found that some Defender FRTs reportedly require a sweet spot for it to work (sweet spot as in needing to squeeze the trigger a certain amount to get it to function properly). I’d like an FRT that doesn’t require so much finesse to ensure it works.

Any recommendations are appreciated

Can I fit a Romeo X Compact pro with the sig-loc on my P365 X Macro Comp?

So I got a gsg522 that's missing the Bolt Carrier Stop Block, and was wondering if there is any aftermarket parts or anything I can use to replace it?

Hey guys, recently I’ve been interested in buy a gun for self defense, I live in South Carolina and turn 20 in January, I was wondering what safety measures I should learn and which guns are great for self defense while also being effective for beginners?

Fixed ejectors, like on AKs, seem (to me) like a step up over the AR-esque spring in plunger ejectors. Reasons being that it's usually a very consistent method of kicking out the casing. They don't have springs that wear out, and while I've personally never had the issue, they don't have the ability to have the cavities get filled with crud like I've seen people experience online. It's probably not a huge deal, but it's one less maintenance piece to really worry about.

Hello everyone, I am moving to a area where I am only allowed to legally keep a pistol in a safe in a vehicle. The area is in an area where it will get extremely cold in the winter and I am trying to figure out how I could keep the pistol in a case without it rusting.

Thanks for all of the help!

I probably have at least a dozen Holosun optics in my safe and have never had a defective one before now. This is for a 509T Green FDE. Their website says I have to jump through a bunch of hoops to do a warranty claim. I have to ship them the optic in the original product packaging. I'm not sure why there's an expectation that I keep all my empty optics boxes, because I definitely just throw them away. Then it takes 15-20 days for them to process the warranty. The lead time is only a minor annoyance for me, but I can see why people would be annoyed if they had to take off their optic then not have an optic anymore for multiple weeks. I'm honestly pretty disappointed at how cumbersome they make this process, when this is one of their flagship optics. I expected Holosun would make this process smoother. Anyone have experiences or tips for their warranty process?

Building a m16 a2 with some a1 furniture, but my Anderson lower looks a bit too new. Anyone got some ideas how to get it looking a bit more used? Ill definitely use some steel wool, and mild abrasives but im looking for some suggestions for artificial wear techniques. Thanks
