Re: Grip screws for ParaOrdnance P14

Para Grip screws are shorter in length that slim grips screws and bigger in diameter than standard 1911 grip screws.Just took one off my Para 14.45 and compared to a 1911 grip screw.Totally different screws.
Just in case my blue lock tight mine in !

Re: Armalite AR10B

Had an Armalite AR10T with a pile of converted M14 mags,gave it to my brother a few years back.
He loves the dam thing.

I have a Rock River AR10 that uses FAL mags,runs good with good accuracy.
Have a Windam AR10 that uses SR25 type mags,things is still unfired.Somewhere buried in safe.

Re: Turkish 9mm quality control still sucks

Whats the brand name on the box? I keep hearing good reviews.But all reviews seem to come from retailers that sell the ammo .

Re: Thinking about FN FAL

Scottsdale Gun Club has a nice looking DSA Fal hanging on the wall.16" barrel
I used to have a Century Mutt that ran really good,sold it to an AZS member and have
regretted it ever since.That AZS member wont part with it for nothing.
