Re: Ruger's new AR-10 platform

How would this compare to a Sig 716i? Been offered a trade but don’t know much about the gun. Should I hold and go Ruger?

Re: Vortex VIP Warranty Repair Is Not Ready for Prime Time.

Are you leaving it on all the time or turning it off for 3 weeks and then it's dead?

Re: Buying used via FFL transfer

When I posted the question it wasn’t to single anyone out. After watching the video I can understand a seller going that way. As a buyer it really doesn’t offer a solid benefit. Bottom line; if it’s your gun I believe you can sell it any way you want. As a buyer that’s my issue to deal with. I’m jus...

Buying used via FFL transfer

Been seeing this as requirement for buying used guns more and more. Other than direct evidence of chain of ownership maintained by a third party does this offer anything else? As a buyer what am I getting for my money for the FFL fee? How is it better than flashing an ID and writing info down? Not l...

Re: If you could only have one rifle, and one cartridge for AZ hunting, what would it be?

300 Winchester Magnum. If you need the range AND the knockdown power you have it. I use a worked over Winchester Model 70 for delivery.

Re: Usery pass/Rio Salado range

Rio is a range with rules. They have a lot of them. They also have a lot of new shooters so the rules kinda make sense. They don’t make any secrets about the rules and repeat them every single cease fire. Yet someone will always violate one while I visit. It almost defies logic since most of them ar...

Re: Marlin .17hmr

Had a 917v. Swapped out the trigger to a Riflebasics model; what a difference. Was a real tack driver but decided it was cheaper to shoot 223 reloads that keep feeding it.

Re: Side charging AR's

ADCOR Defense was making a pinned side charger upper that could be swapped over easily. Also kept the standard charging handle. Kinda nice. They made a gas piston or a DI version. Not sure what's up with them over the last 4 years.

Re: CMMG AR-15 .22 L.R. Conversion Kit

Love the box!

Great kit, runs great. A mag loader for these really is worth it IMO. Some lowers magwells work better than others for fitment. Some need the magazine guides sanded down. I dont usually recommend Frog Lube but once i coated the unit it made cleanup a breeze. All i use on it.
