      dpms ar in 308

      Muzzle brake. I have one on my REPR and it works great. Really makes a difference when I turn the gas off and use it as a single shot...kinda like a bolt gun, it stops it from cycling the bolt mass. It does make it louder for the those standing next to it tough.

      I think the days of $300 Smith's are about over.

      I paid $240 for my Model 57 in 1989. Over $600 now.

      your favorie high capacity full size 45

      I have both a Para 45 and an FNX 45 Tactical. I like shooting the Para but it isn't nearly as reliable as the FNX. The FNX also is far easier to break down than anything else out there. It's doulbe and single action with de-cocking lever. Both guns hold 16 rounds of .45 goodness.

      Carry On A Motorcycle?

      I just took a bike trip to Pigeon Forge and had my FNX 45 in my tank bag the whole way. I do have a a permit though. I don't know if motorcycles are treated like cars or trucks ,being an extention of your home. Might want to research that a bit. Also, other states aren't nearly as lenient about...

      REVOLVERS: Boring, Antiquated, & Stupid

      FNH FN Pistol ????

      I just bought my FNX 45 Tactical a few weeks ago. Took it to the range and ran it side by side with my Para P-14. The Para shoots ever so slightly more accurate but is picky about ammo and will stove pipe or fail to eject especially with cheap ammo [UMC] The FNX, on the other hand, chewed...

      ***UPDATED*** AR 10 as a deer gun

      My LWRC R.E.P.R. shoots HSM 168gr. really well. I'm getting 3/4 MOA with it...probably would get 1/2 with some more practice.

      FAL people...a little help please?

      Kajun, You're who installed the barrel for me a few months ago. Remember the cops showing up at your house after test firing it? I had sent you a text a while back. Give me a call when you have the time and we'll meet up.

      FAL people...a little help please?

      You don't understand. The spent case doesn't move at all, it's as if someone super glued it to the chamber. I have to either hit the slide violently with my hand or sometimes, smack it on the corner of a table, to make it eject. Just trying to cycle it doesn't work. It doesn't occur all the...
