    Gunsmithing Normal AR bolt wear?

    It's a Head Down AR-15 BCG. They say the bolt is carpenter 158, and batch HPT/MPI. Not the AR Stoner ones that everybody was having problems with. Mine seem to be machined differently than the Stoners. I originally had a Stoner BCG, but took it back after it wore through the finish on the bolt...

    Gunsmithing Normal AR bolt wear?

    I had the local gun shop check it. Said it was good to go. Why do you ask?

    Gunsmithing Normal AR bolt wear?

    Okay. You see that the phosphate is nearly worn through, right? That's not just reflection you're seeing. It's my first AR and I never payed attention to this stuff on other people's rifles.

    Gunsmithing Normal AR bolt wear?

    I recently built my first AR, and after a quick 40 rounds to break the barrel in, I took a look at my bolt and was wondering if this wear is normal? It's got 40 rounds through it and 2-300 hand-cyclings. I just wiped it off a little after shooting it. Thoughts? Any input is much appreciated...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Catastrophic failures in pistols

    Re: Catastrophic failures in pistols First things first, it's spelled Kahr. second... None of the pistols mentioned are any more prone to catastrophic failure than the others. If you double charge any of 'em, it'll blow. If you are really worried about it, stick with a metal frame because...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Weak hand Double Feed (Sig)

    Re: Weak hand Double Feed (Sig) On my P239, I can hit the slide catch by sliding my hand up and hitting it with the first index finger joint. I know the P226 is a bit different.. Eh, I don't know. I'd really like to hear what others have to say, though.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Weak hand Double Feed (Sig)

    Re: Weak hand Double Feed (Sig) Has your Sig jammed? I'm assuming you're right handed... When you say 'weak hand', are you implying that you're only using one hand to clear it, or you're using both? If you're using one hand, I'd snag the slide to the rear on my pants or boot or something...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Why Glock?

    Re: Why Glock? There isnt really anything too special about 'em. They're just a pretty well- made gun that can be had for a fairly low price from a company that has good quality control. You arent getting the best ergonomics, the best trigger, the lowest bore axis, the highest capacity, the...

    Rifle changing zero suddenly

    Re: Rifle changing zero suddenly Did somebody else handle your rifle and check out your scope adjustments? Had that happen once.

    Remington 700 What do you hate?

    Re: Remington 700 What do you hate? I hate the brazed bolt. No reason it shouldnt be single-piece. I also hate (with extra passion) the fact that the sight rail is not integrated into the receiver as one piece.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns How do I grip my Sig, again?

    Re: How do I grip my Sig, again? SIG700, I had those grips kicking around from when I bought the gun, so I put them on and they helped out a lot, but still not good enough. It doesnt feel natural to NOT grab the gun as high as I can manage. When I look at my grip, it's like I'm grabbing the...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns How do I grip my Sig, again?

    Re: How do I grip my Sig, again? It's gonna take more than that for me to get rid of the ol' Sig. It's treated me too well. There's not really room for my thumb to scoot down more -I've got pretty wide hands. I'll look into how other people grip their pistols and see if I can just force...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns How do I grip my Sig, again?

    Re: How do I grip my Sig, again? I forgot to mention that my hands don't ride well when I bent my thumb down and out of the way, and I don't shoot well when I ride my right thumb over my left hand. I could make that stuff work if I HAD to, but I was wondering if someone else had something...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Sig Mosquito Scared Me Away from Sig Pistols

    Re: Sig Mosquito Scared Me Away from Sig Pistols I've got a p239 in .40 that I bought used with no wear for a screamin' price. Based on serial numbers, it seems to have been made around 2000, in America. It's been absolutely flawless, and the most reliable, accurate pistol I've ever...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns How do I grip my Sig, again?

    Some time ago I started using the 'thumbs-forward' grip for pistol shooting, but then when I went back to shooting my Sig, my thumb rides right over the slide catch, meaning that I havent seen my sig's slide lock back since sometime in 2010... Anyway, what's the preferred way to grip a Sig...
