      mosin nagant

      I'm trying to find the two screws for the mosin-nagant that hold the metal parts to the stock (sorry, don't know the correct names for everything). Can find them on the internet but price+shipping is outrageous.

      6.5 grendel

      Putting together a 6.5 grendel rifle lengh and am new at building. Was wondering if buffer springs came in different "weights" and if they do would a grendel need a heavier spring than a 5.56. Are there kits available for specific calibers? Thanks

      wet forming

      I bought a leather holster and it worked great.....for the first few weeks. Now it's loose and won't retain my gun (it's a Bersa HC Pro, great gun just hard to find accessories for). I've read about wet forming or bone forming leather holsters and it looks easy enough. Will this work on a...

      piston conversion kits

      I have a Sabre Defence 5.56 blow-back upper and have been reading about some conversion kits that will change it to a piston driven system. Does anyone have any experience with these kits and how well they work. Not real experienced with working on internals so how much knowledge is needed to...

      Just bought the Diamondback AR in 6.5 and I am looking for ammo results

      Thinking about getting a 6.5 Grendel upper for my .556 lower. Is there any noticeable difference between a 18 inch barrel and a 20 inch as far as accuracy and performance?

      mosin nagant ammo

      It is old but until recently I could get a can of 440 rounds of Russian surplus for about 80-90 dollars. Now they're much more IF you can find any.

      mosin nagant ammo

      I started looking for some 7.62x54r for my mosin nagant, surprised to find that either no one has any or the price is way to high. Spam cans are non-existent or very high priced. What happened to make this ammo so hard to find and high priced?

      Trapdoor Springfield

      I have a model 1873 Trapdoor Springfield that shoots 45/70 ammo. Have been wondering if the modern ammo is safe to use in it. I've never shot it and would like to try it out, just don't want to "damage" it or myself in the process.

      What Self Defense ammo do you carry?

      Whatever is on sale. Run a couple of magazines just to be sure the gun likes it.
