    GB shipping can be absurd

    Looking to buy an extra magazine or two for my Echelon. Browsing the listings on GunBroker, I see that sellers want between $8-$30 to ship. $30? Does it come loaded with ammo? I understand that shipping rates have escalated, but does someone genuinely expect a buyer to pay that much to mail...

    Winchester to buy Ammo Inc

    Just read that Winchester is acquiring Ammo Inc. Say what you will about either company, this doesn't look good for the consumer. Ammo Inc has consistently proven to be one of the more affordable options in my part of the world. They have been the only brand of .44 Special I have found anywhere...

    Why the hate for muzzle brakes?

    Not trying to troll the members here, but I genuinely wonder why muzzle brakes are so polarizing. The folks on this forum seem to be the most reasonable and rational of all that I am on, so I figure I can get some reasoned responses. Is it merely a matter of the concussion which is diverted to...

    We are in trouble

    DJT didn't do himself or his campaign any favors among undecided voters. He sounded as though he was so concerned about getting his arguments out that he sounded incoherent in the first 30 minutes or so. The sad part is that his arguments are powerful when presented in a coherent manner. He...

    Is Ultrasonic Cleaning Worth It?

    Considering buying an ultrasonic unit to help clean and maintain the herd. Primarily expect to use it for bolts, BCGs and barrels. If it works as advertised, I could see using it on disassembled slides, frames, and the like. Given the people on this forum appear to have a fairly good pool of...

    Boycott the wEA test. Let them see that a whole lot of phones weren't reached when they view the data.

    Ever seen this? Possible cause? .22 LR failure

    Shooting my Walther Colt 1911 .22LR. Last round out of magazine, case split directly above the rim and squib resulted. Armscor, I believe. My first thought was a failure of the brass, but on further consideration I wonder if the round wasn't fully seated in the chamber. I could see a cockeyed...

    Marxism isn't all it's cracked up to be

    Missionaries to Trinidad and Tobago visited our church today. They told us that there is a large contingent of immigrants coming to this island nation from Venezuela and Cuba. Immigrants have absolutely no rights in this country. Education is denied their children and employment is often...

    AR bolt hold open malfunction

    Have an AR platform rifle. When I fire the last round, the bolt doesn't stay open. Happens with every mag. The hold open catch will engage manually and work correctly. Cleaned, lubed and inspected, nothing pops out at me. Anyone here wish to offer me guidance on what to check next? Thanks to...

    XD magazine interchangeability

    Realize I'm not the first with this question, but would prefer to learn from some who actually own the pistols. XD/XDm mags don't appear to interchange based on my experience (ordered one for my XDm and received one labeled XD). Am I correct in this conclusion, or am I doing something wrong...
