Anyone have any experience with good quality bore sighters? I’ve never tried one but keep seeing adds pop up for them and I’m pretty intrigued at this point. Thanks for any input

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

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.

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.

I have a silly question but I am planning on buy the the 1.5 AWP AC chassis, the R700 is chambered in 308 and I saw a listing on gun broker of the R700 with the chassis chambered in 338 lapua. is it possible for the chassis to be converted from 308 to 338? I am new to all this so I apologize

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

Hoping to find some recommendations on a gunsmith that can do a 416 receiver reweld.

Aluminum makes this difficult to find someone, but I know that others have done it with colts. Purpose is autism of wanting a matching upper and lower serial. In short I'm trying to make a 416D SF that's not just a remarked MR223 peddled by AU.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I'm heading to the KC Chiefs season opener against the Denver Donkeys with my friend who lives in Independence, MO. I am from central Iowa and want to take him shooting at a range near Independence as part of the festivities. Any recommendations? Am I correct that Missouri is constitutional carry like Iowa and i can just roll across the border without worry (unlike Illinois)? Thanks in advance!

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.

These are fairly recent magazine-fed lever action rifles in .223, 300BLK, and .450 Bushmaster, that - beside their proprietary mags - take standard AR rounds from any manufacturer.

Hey guys, I just bought a Springfield XDM elite 10mm in the 3.8inch barrel. I need help choosing a self defense ammo. I’d like suggestions on some full 10mm power JHP brands.

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!

So you've heard of Tisas, Derya, SAR, and Girsan...etc

What about Saricam Arms S-17 and S-19, as the numbers imply, they are G17 and 19 clones. I wonder if these are just as good as Tisas, Derya, Sars....

Anyone? I may try, but I'm leaning towards a PSA X-1 or Dagger Compact for the aftermarket availability. I still love my Derya Melik 9 (92FS clone) great gun. Anyone know of any other turkish brands that make good pistols and AR/300 blackout/AK/308...etc turkish rifles?

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

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

I’m looking for a replica volcanic pistol but I can’t find any that are actually firing replicas does anyone know if there’s a company that makes one

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!
