    Broken Election Promises and Hypocrisy: An Apolitical List

    Here is a thread where we can track and discuss things politicians at any time and in any political party promised, but failed to deliver on. I will start. Obama the first time said something like “Sixteen brigades in Iraq, one brigade per month, the U.S. is out of Iraq in sixteen months.”...

    AR Upper & Lower Fitment & Accuracy

    I understand the party line is that upper to lower fitment on an AR rifle doesn’t effect accuracy. However, has anyone ever tested this? I am envisioning someone who isn’t me taking an AR and installing the smallest takedown pins possible, to maximize rattle between the upper and lower...

    Colt-Style PCC 9mm Magazines Loading?

Do the Colt-style 9mm magazines used for PCCs load top-down like a 5.56mm AR magazine (double stack / double feed) or do they load like a Glock magazine where you push the cartridge down and then slide it in...

    Credible Voices for Equipment Recommendations

    To you, what is a credible voice for equipment recommendations? Why is this voice credible? For example… “If the Top Ten PRS shooters use Product X then I view Product X as being quality.” “If AirborneReconScubaSniperRangers use Product X then I view Product X as being quality.” “If Gun X...
