So I have been thinking of either getting another Ruger 10/22 Takedown but with a Magpul X-22 Backpacker stock or just getting a Magpul X-22 Backpacker stock for mine (but I really like my current set up). I was Googling on how to add a rail on the Magpul X-22 backpacker so I could add a...

I'm working on an AR pistol that is piston driven with an 11.5 inch barrel. I'm researching muzzle breaks to reduce felt recoil and allow for quicker follow up shots. I don't want anything that has holes facing down as it will kick up dirt in the prone position. There are so many out there...

I haven't really eaten or purchased MRE's in over a decade (probably longer). We had the dark brown packaging and then later the light brown packaging when I served. What are some good sites to buy from these days? There seems to be a ton of them. Any brands that are a must have? Any...

I spoke with someone that has an AR pistol or SBR (can't remember which) with a folding mechanism. He said it worked well and had no issues. I'm thinking of assembling an AR pistol with an 11.5 inch barrel in 5.56 and I'd like it to be compact without losing reliability. Anyone have one of...

I'm curious what you guys use as far as a backpack for your bug out bag. I'm looking to buy a new one and I'm thinking of the following: 1. Durable because it needs to last. 2. Large because I'd like the ability to carry more rather than less. 3. Has MOLLE webbing to attach more pouches. 4...

For those who have never heard of PWS they make some of the best rifles out there. They are the only long stroke piston AR manufacturer that I have heard of. Their customer service is amazing as well. They are making a new rifle called the User XChange Rifle (UXR). The upper is the...

I like my Gen 2 more than the Gen 1 I had. Nice changes on the Gen 3 as well. For those that like optics, the forend rotates, they claim it's simple, and keeps your zero. I think this will be a game changer for many. They went away from the plastic trigger, it now comes with an aluminum...

I was wondering if you guys had any book recommendations? While it's convenient to surf the web, sometimes it's good to have a good old fashioned paper book. I bought this with some leftover gift card money I haven't read it yet but it had good reviews...

I bought one of these recently (free with a gift card so I can't complain). I thought I would share. It is a slow charger but it's light and compact. Great way to charge rechargeable AA, AAA and 9 volt batteries. Solar AA & AAA Rechargeable...

I didn't know there were this many coatings! What do you guys like best? I have nitride and phosphate but was looking into nickel boron. https://www.recoilweb.com/best-ar-15-bolt-carrier-groups-176713.html
