I currently own both the Springfield Prodigy 5” Comp and the Kimber DS Warrior, both of which I purchased over time. My reasoning was that I wanted to familiarize myself with the 1911/2011 platform before investing in something more expensive.

Overall, I absolutely love the platform! Before purchasing these two firearms, I had never handled a 1911 or 2011, but I’ve been extremely impressed with how well they shoot and perform.

Now I’m considering whether the Kimber Pro Comp would be a worthwhile next step or if I should look at something like the SIG P226 X Legion or SIG GTO instead. I already own a P226 X Legion and absolutely love it, so I’m curious how these options compare and whether the Kimber Pro Comp would be a meaningful upgrade. Any advice?

Brought out the arsenal. I've gotten the SKS sighted in for elevation, but the windage tool didn't work so well :( what you see on the target was the last clip I shoved in on my range outing at 100yd. Iron sights, of course. I feel like I can work with that, at least.

Model 10 shoots low if I'm not using 158grn bullets. Boo, the sights are fixed. +p with lighter bullets, like 125 or 110grn are the way to go. It doesn't feel right to aim for the scalp to get a torso hit from7-10yds. But damn I like shooting .38spl. It's kind of...*pleasant*.

I'll be honest. My heavy 6" barrel Llama Comanche .22LR is a sweet and really accurate shooter. But I'd take back the trade, I think I'd like to have my Tec-22 back.

This things too damn heavy without an actual gunbelt so I made myself a chest rig. Really like how it turned out.

My first Mossberg was a regular 500 with the wood furniture and a 28” ribbed barrel. I eventually picked up an 18.5” security barrel for it and loved how good it felt as a “security” shotgun. This got me fascinated with the idea of fighting shotguns, and over the years I’ve loved learning more about defensive shotgun setups, loadings, and techniques and Mossberg pumps have been my favorite models along the way. I also have a standard 590 that I’ve rebuilt and feel as comfortable with as most people do their favorite carbines, but I wanted to grab this 590A1 model to compliment it and I plan on keeping it entirely stock because this configuration just works so well out of the box and looks fantastic.

Hello. I am looking to purchase an M84 scope (made by Sarco) while traveling in the United States, and bring it back to my home country.

Does anyone know if this would be subject to ITAR regulations?

Some people say it’s fine as long as it doesn’t have a mil-scale reticle, while others claim that all scopes are prohibited. I’ve tried reading the regulations myself, but I’m still not entirely clear on the rules.

Looks like big chungus may have fired her final rounds. Sear axis pin snapped today and started causing occasional hammer follow. Was able to find the sear spring so I may be able to resurrect her next time I have access to a lathe.

For now she's retired to be a parts gun once I pickup another Star 30. Even still I highly recommend the Star 30s for the price they are today. Not the most well engineered but certainly an excellent quality firearm for not a lot of money.

Just curious if anyone can ID this. Two sections unscrew, I guess one to shorten it and the other to fool with the gas system?

Hi everyone!

I recently won a 500$ gift card for a major sporting retailer. Now due to this i am forced to make a tough decision.

Do I get a 1301 A300 Ultima Patrol or Henry Big Boy X in 357 as I’ve wanted both for a long time.

I have two 1187 and an 870 this covered semi auto for 28” and 18” HM with the 870 as a project gun (it’s best to shit and rusty so I’m stripping to refinish it in dumb colors and sable in electroplating).

I don’t have a use for the lever gun aside from I think they are fun and like shooting them (only shot 45 colt) and I can suppress it with the Omega 36M can I have.

The Patrol on the other hand is way lighter than my current shotguns. I do trap and skeet and am doing Turkey/pheasant/rabbit hunting next year.

I’m torn with poor financial decisions due to luck.

Looking for any advice or issues with either aside from spending more on upgrades down the road.

Or a wild card recommendation as I can toss another 500$ towards the long gun total. Already have an MP5K.

I bought this gun off a auction and am trying to figure out what model the scope is. I’ve looked everywhere and can’t find one that’s the exact same with the illuminated reticle. It’s a leupold 4.5-14x40 that’s all I know.

I recently bought this ‘79 marlin 444 and when I got it home I tore it all down and during the process of re assembly I found that the end cap of the foregrip no longer aligns with the small metal piece inside.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hello!

I'm putting together a bullpup conversion using a SRU Precision SARB-15 chassis, a Dead Foot Arms 2.5" BCG kit, and a non-monolithic upper and I'm worried about not having the space to properly mount an optic and being forced to mount on the handguard. Obviously, this will result in a shifting zero which isn't ideal. Would anyone have any recommendations on optic rails that will maintain a secure hold on the upper while also allowing me to push the optic out allowing for proper eye relief?

I did see rails from TPO and Lion Gears that free float over the handguard but those have a few reviews that label them as a bit flimsy and prone to shifting. Anyone have any experience with these or similar products? Bonus points for American made, if possible.

My girl is doing a hard surface model of this Taurus gun in adobe fusion. We scoured the internet but we couldn't find any front, top or bottom facing pictures, only sides and perspectives.

If anyone with this gun could send these pictures it would save her a lot of time with the modeling and we would be extremely thankful :)

I would post a pic but I literally created this account to ask this and the first post got removed (sorry mods).

So in Texas (which im a resident of) it is legal for me to buy a handgun in a private sale despite my age. I am over 18 and turn 20 in a few months and was wondering if anyone my age has had any experience purchasing a pistol at a gun show.

Whats the probability of someone being liscensed at a gun show? Im driving an hour and im looking for a CZ P10 or P07 for personal protection. I have two other guns (an ak that im currently converting to a sidefolder and a mossberg that i use for hunting)

(Tips on going through with this would be appreciated. I do 100% know that if I can get my pistol that im keeping that bill of sale)

Recently updated with more added. Anyone else big fans of PCC/SMG’s?

I recently moved across the country and left my firearms with my dad so as to not cross several state lines with them, but now that Im settled I want them back. I saw UPS ships firearms but only for “dealers, importers, and collectors”. Can I just pay for shipping from one FFL to another or can I use the postal service with a special designation?

Ive got a cmmg banshee and its RDB instead of direct blowback like most 9mm pcc, Im going to get a jp silent spring but have been told conflicting information. Some say get the 9mm version spring but since the banshee is rdb the 223/556 version would work. Any thoughts would help.

Personally, top 3 SKSs'.

I have a Alof's Reloading Magazine and Shotgun, nice to have the modern one.

I am hoping someone can tell me what I’m looking for. I remember a couple years ago a company came out with fake bullet shells you put in your shotgun or your rifle that admit vapor through the action and the barrel while it’s in storage and they had them for every caliber you could think of, but for the life of me, I cannot find them or even remember what they were called

First, let me start by saying that I am fairly new to firearms, but have done some research and have some very kind friends that have let me shoot neat things, like an AUG, an AR 10, and most recently a MAK-90.

I am absolutely in love with that MAK–90. My favorite thing about it is the thumbhole grip and the fact that it’s a semi auto.

Now, I don’t think I want to buy a vintage or older MAK–90 for a variety of reasons, but I really would like to find something similar. Something modern.

I’ve made a list of what I like about it, and I’m curious if anyone knows of firearms that would match that or at least come close.

1) I really like that it’s semi-automatic with a thumbhole stock and looks more like a rifle than a handgrip style firearm. I really enjoy shooting my bolt action 308 and my shotgun, which both have a very comfortable natural curve rather than the hand grip, which I don’t find comfortable.

2) I would like it to shoot 5.56 or some other caliber that you could find at an average sporting goods store. Something that isn’t too unique or too boutique.

3) I’d like it to be an actual rifle, and hopefully hit 500 yards, even 300 yards, if I get good and build it properly.

4) I would like it to be minimally proprietary, or at least easy to fix with reasonable parts. I’d love it if I could find an AR 15 style that accepts AR mags, but I looked at the foxtrot Mike and so much of it is proprietary that I’m reluctant to buy something like that. I don’t own a lot of firearms and don’t want to have a pile of them. I’d like to have a refined handful that I enjoy.

Does anyone know a firearm that fits that? Really, I just want a good semi-auto with a rifle style stock that isn’t solely proprietary so that if the business goes under, you simply can’t find parts for it.

I hope this is the right place to post this, and I certainly apologize if it isn’t, but I appreciate everyone’s help.

I ordered a brand new S&W model 36 .38 special lastnight from the s&w site but it made me go thru guns.com and I was just looking at reviews from them and I’ve seen some from people that were negative.. just curious if I’ll get my gun or am I just overthinking.. sorry for noob question but it’s my first time ordering from gdc
