      Best cheap plinking 5.56/.223?

      Looking to pick up some ammo in bulk soon. I've ran American Eagle through both my AR's and neither really like it (3.5-4" groups at 100). I had a box of Wolf Gold that were just under 2" on my 16" gun, got a few left in gonna try on my 18" this weekend. I also see PSA has a good deal on Fiocchi...

      Scope rec in $300-500 range

      Picked up one of those Weatherby Vanguards from Wal-Mart in .308 and need to pair it with a decent scope. I'd like to get something in the 18-24x range on the top end, since my eyes aren't the best. Ideally I'd like to pick something that Cabelas or Bass Pro carries since I have $350 in gift...

      ATF letter classifies .50 AR bolt-action upper as Firearm

      Thought I'd share. I hate to beat an overused term here but "slippery slope" comes to mind... https://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2018/07/30/breaking-news-atf-is-classifying-50-cal-bolt-action-ar-uppers-as-firearm/amp/

      First AR builds, slowly upgrading!

      I recently got into the AR world when a friend gave me a complete lower and I picked up a Radical 16" upper and Vortex Sparc AR with some mags on sale. Realizing I'm pretty blind, I nabbed a 3x magnifier from a guy in here and enjoyed plinking for a while. A couple of months ago a friend...

      .224 Valkyrie vs 6.5 Grendel for hunting and distance shooting

      So I have been planning to piece together a 6.5 Grendel to hunt with this coming season and maybe try my hand at some of the longer distance ranges semi-local to me (out to 500 yards). With the release of the .224 Valkyrie round I wonder if that's not a better choice, but being so new I wonder...

      WTB: Ruger Mark IV 22/45

      Before I order one new, just curious what anyone has out there for sale in state. Located in Ruston area but I will drive for the right price/gun. Thanks!

      Anyone know about 2 Vet Arms AR's?

      I've been speaking with a friend about trading for a 2VA side charging AR15 with a stainless barrel. I haven't handled the thing yet but it is unfired. I know nothing about the quality of the rifles but it would be traded for about $1500 of race car stuff, so looking to get something of similar...

      Anyone using the PSA 2-stage trigger?

      So I plan to slowly upgrade my budget AR and move my stock stuff over to my 300blk pistol build. It currently has a stock Colt milspec trigger and I figured I'd start there. I see PSA has their 2 stage unit, but it's currently out of stock so I don't even know how much it is. I also see Geissele...

      .223 Wylde barrel worth the swap?

      So a little backstory, I built my first (and only so far) AR using budget stuff, including a Radical Firearms complete 5.56 upper with carbine length gas system and 1:7 twist 16" barrel. It's done well, running a couple hundred rounds through it without issue, but I think it's overgassed as...

      WTS: WTS/WTT: Vortex Sparc AR (like new)

      I got a Vortex Sparc AR when I bought my upper earlier this month. Sighted it in and realized I need some magnification as my eyes aren't great. I've still got the spacer to lower 1/3 co-witness, the screws and torx L-wrench as well as the box and everything that came with it. Located in Ruston...

      Recommend some .38 spl range rounds please

      I got my wife a Taurus 85 ultralite for Christmas and she really enjoys shooting it. I need recommendations for good, cheap ammo, even if I need to buy in bulk. Heck we went through nearly two boxes of 50 yesterday haha. Academy has some Magtech 158gr listed on they're site for 15.99 a box...

      Nylon or aluminum for rail.

      I'm looking to ad a vertical foregrip on my AR. It's got a keymod hand guard and I was shopping for a 2 or 3" rail piece to attach it with. I know the nylon is lighter but will it hold up for a grip that likely won't be taken off and on? Or do I go with aluminum.

      First time posting from north LA!

      Hello, I forgot I joined a while back and never posted an intro. I'm from the Ruston area and got into shooting again in the last few years (haven't shot much since I was a kid about 20 years ago). My wife had even less shooting experience than myself so we started with a Ruger SR22 pistol...
