Re: Pictures of your "Black Guns"

I have a lightweight polymer AR-15. it's a Bushmaster Carbon 15 I got at Academey three years ago. It came with a Bushnell TRS-25 Red Dot, and weighs about 5.5 pounds. What a treat to shoot! I've read mixed reviews on these, but I'm very happy with it. Part of the "lightness" so to speak is the ...

Re: M1 Garand. Do I buy it?

I just bought one on March 9 at the CMP South Store in Anniston Alabama. I drove out there from Pasadena to see them in person. It was worth the drive to me (I was going to Florida anyway). It's a Springfield Armory, made in November 1943.

A quick check of the barrell condition can be done by ...

Re: AR Broken mag release S&W M&P15

Well I called S&W customer service, I was only on hold 13 minutes... they checked stock, took my name and address, and said they will ship the part today. I'm good with that... my alternative was pay $8 admission to the next gun show and shop around for a new part... since the mag catch is so easy ...

Re: AR Broken mag release S&W M&P15

I would, in priciple, like to demand to have S&W fix this, but if I do, will I be required to ship my lower to them through a FFL dealer? Wouldn't a FFL charge me a fee for that?

Re: Polymer sight on gas block?

Thanks for the replies, and that's a nice looking carbine there, AM. I'll see if a picture would help... I suppose I could use my steel front sight and polymer rear flip up sight. Just seems like the wrong way to set it up.

I thought I read somewhere never to mount a sight on a handrail. Is that ...

Polymer sight on gas block?

Folks, I bought a set of A.R.M.S. inc. flip up sights. (they weren't cheap). I had planned to mount them on my S&W M&P15 ORC. I have some optics choices but I wanted to set up iron sights to practice shooting w/o optics @ 25 - 50 meters, and have a back up if the optic fails. On the box though, it's ...

Re: AR Broken mag release S&W M&P15

The part that broke/separated is the "L" shaped piece, not the threaded plastic button. I watched a video on Cheaper Than Dirt which explained how simple the parts are to install. Embarassed I didn't see how simple the process is. :banghead:

After doing some research, yes, it appears the easiest ...

AR Broken mag release S&W M&P15

I purchased a new Smith & Wesson M&P15 ORC from Academy on July 4, 2010. It has never been fired, but I have loaded/unloaded, cleaned, oiled, etc. Yesterday after removing a magazine the release fell out in pieces. It came apart where the pin presses into the release. So, I have questions maybe some ...
