Re: Traveling Down The AR Road

Here are a few things that I learned as I ventured into the world of ARs. The first one has to do with mounts for optics (as you mentioned in your post OldTurtle). I like to have a good, tight cheek weld on the stock as I am shooting. I feel it is important to be able to throw a gun up and have it n...

Re: Traveling Down The AR Road

So I guess the first thing I should discuss is what I think of the Sportical. To be honest, I like it. Basically, the Sportical is DPMS’s entry level AR. There are several places where DPMS cut costs but most of them are found in the upper. First, the upper receiver is made of 6066-T6 aircraf...

Re: AR Forum?

The receivers are tough. A 26" bull barrel might be pushing it though. Are you going to get a free-floated rail? If so, you truly would be hanging all the weight of the barrel on the front of the receiver. However, if you were going to use standard hand guards, then you would almost always be s...

Traveling Down The AR Road

I'll start off this forum by giving a sketch of my history with ARs. Although I have been around guns my entire live, I am relatively new to ARs. I am now ashamed to admit it, but at one time, I looked with disdain upon all varieties of "assault rifles". Being a hunter, my thinking was alo...

Re: AR Forum?

You can determine how much of this information is relevant to your situation, but I found this article interesting regarding barrel length: http://www.bullberry.com/204Rugerdata.html The test was shooting 32 grainers and you want to shoot 39, but I still don't know if the extra 2 inches would make t...

Re: AR Forum?

Oh, there will be pictures!!!! :lol:

I was just wondering if there was enough interest in ARs to justify having a forum dedicated to them. There is a whole world of AR stuff out there. I also have a few reviews that I would like to write up and post!

AR Forum?

Guys, I have to apologize. I have not given my .204 as much attention as it deserves for the past year because I have been pursuing a new passion: ARs. :camper: No, I don't have a .204 upper... yet! Just wondering if we should create a new forum for AR style weapons and if I should start a new threa...

Re: 270 WSM

It may be too late to comment on this but I decided to anyway. In 2004, I bought a .270 WSM. What do I think about it after 5 years? Well, I have shot 3 deer and 3 elk with it and it's terminal performance has met or exceeded my expectations. I like the gun. But I do have two things about the gun th...

Re: AR 15 trigger

I have just installed two JP triggers with their speed hammer. The first went well and is an excellent trigger. However, they are a bugger to install and get adjusted correctly. It takes some time and work! I have to question JP's quality control because the hammer that came with the second one had ...

Re: Obama's Gun Ban for those over 60!

Wow! If it were true, that would mean that it would be legal for someone over 60 (Bush was 62 when Obama took over) to rule the country but this same person or group of people would not be able to have a gun. Brilliant! My dad still hunts and is in great physical shape. In fact, he is the one who gu...
