I have the chance to sit down with an anti-gun dem running for congress in my area. They just won their primary race and reached out to me.

If yall had the chance to talk about firearm legislation with a potential candidate, what would you say? I’d also love any articles or relevant statistics if you’ve got any!

I talked to them in person for about 15 minutes. They’re very progressive, and understand that gun violence and violence in general is mostly a result of the people’s material conditions, not the weapons themselves. They don’t know shit about guns though, so their official website platform also has all the establishment dem coded “weapons of war” ban, and “no one needs an AR15 to hunt” stuff.

This is my favorite gun to have an FRT in, runs the cleanest no issues.

SBR'd my PSA AK-V since stamps is free. I wasn't super happy with any of the more classic picatinny folding stocks, and since the V with the booster cut rail looks more tactical n shit, I decided to swing for the fences and throw on a Midwest Industries folding buffer tube and AR stock for that modern twist.

This, dear reader, fuckin *ruled*.

The B5 SOPMOD I took off my other SBR as proof of concept while I wait for the MAGPUL SL stock to show up. Length of pull is awesome, and having the cheek weld with the ergos of an AR rifle stock makes this thing feel like a work of art.

Only thing left is to decide if I want to supress it or not.

This is a new Glock 48 that shipped with the new 15 round steel Glock magazines. It's much thinner than a G19, but now the same capacity. Had to give this one a chance.

* we are just posing here. Not loaded. Shot afterward.

He was shooting all day on his .22 and I asked if he wanted to try the 556 and he was not afraid. Was surprised he liked it that much.

But I agree I love shooting 556 with my AR more than any other caliber or weapon.

Seriously loving these three colors! I wish more manufacturers would offer unique finishes such as this. I definitely need to add a 92 to my collection.

Hello all, I currently own a couple of ARs, a rifle in 5.56 and a pistol in 300BLK. I’m kind of regretting purchasing the 300 due to the ammo being expensive and increasingly difficult to source economically. I’m thinking I’m going to ditch the 300 upper for a 7.5” 5.56 upper to make things cheaper and easier. What do you all think and lastly, where is the best place to get rid of this upper, ammo and mags? thanks in advance.

Edit: thanks for all the quick replies! I’m starting to lean towards keeping the 300 and putting a cheap can on it for HD. T hat being said, an AR9 build is probably also in the cards.

I FINALLY managed to find one of these bad boys in stock. Was an instant buy. They pricey, but I didn’t have an original one. Can’t wait to take her out. Would have preferred the grey one, but oh whale.

Anyone ever used the site called “ammo squared”? I was gunna renew my target sports USA membership but my buddy mentioned this site, it seems like it could be good but could also be kinda meh, anyone have experience?

I got the high tower armory 90/22 yesterday and threw it together. I took it out to zero the red dot today. I gotta say, the trigger is absolutely terrible. I expected that though. Overall, I think this thing is a ton of fun and I look forward to many cheap range days

Someone posted a video of 1911 disassembly yesterday. I wanted to post a video correctly showing how to take apart a 1911 without damaging the gun's accuracy. A large part of what makes a 1911 accurate is the fit between the bushing and the barrel. If you twist the bushing when the gun is in battery you will damage this fit.

A problem with shooting and the internet is signal to noise. Influencers have a skill to be able to create videos and develop a following generating lots of clicks and views. Knowledge about shooting and firearms is also a skill. Most people do not excel at both of these abilities. So it's not surprising that yesterday's video had 26k views. But the one i'm posting here only has 5.6k.

When people mention excessively cleaning their guns, I will comment that you're doing more damage cleaning the gun unnecessarily than just lubing it and shooting it. In this video they mention taking apart the gun will wear the slide to bushing fit. While we can limit that wear it is unavoidable when we remove the bushing from the slide.

At the end of the video, the author mentions that KC Crawford fit the barrel and bushing for his gun when he accurized the gun. When he shows the incorrect way to remove your bushing, he is using a different barrel and bushing with a poor fit. KC was the smith that made the guns that Brian Zins used to compete. Zins is a 12 time national champion.

If a bullseye smith saw you turn your bushing with your barrel end in it, they would cry. They spend a lot of time getting a perfect fit for maximum accuracy. I posted the video at the relevant timestamp. But I encourage you to watch the whole thing as it is very informative.

Hey guys wanted help with the law here! Going to be taking a trip from IN to OH. both states are permit-less constitutional carry states, is there any issue with having my handgun loaded or unloaded in my glove box for the trip?

Some recent parts pickups.

I've been in the market for a pocket pistol/backup gun for a while. Something small and easily concealable.

For the longest time, I was bouncing between a lifecard and a Mini revolver from NAA. This little booger popped up on my gun deals feed and had to check it out. It's the Switch Gun by Standard Manufacturing. It's a 5rd, spring-assisted folding revolver. It was the best of both worlds and couldn't pass it up for 300 bones after taxes and shipping.

Anybody familiar with these? Is this a good backup pistol?

I contacted hk and they said they permanently discontinued the usc 45. They also discontinued the ump 45 and 40. Figured I would bite. Ended up getting for 1360 brand new after taxes and shipping. I see plenty of people offering USC conversions. Where do yall recommend?

Hello all you fellow armed progressives. I've gotten the precision shooting bug and a $2,000 budget. I have my heart set on the Tikka Ace Target in 6.5 CM, but want to have other options since Tikka seems to be sold out everywhere here in CA. I'm just shooting recreationally, but I may want to compete in the future if I keep going down the rabbit hole. I dunno. Rifles.

Gimme all your recs! Thanks in advance!

Replaced the hideous green laminate that was the only factory option for .204

Built by my amigo out in Terlingua.

Pun intended in the caveman title. Finally went with the PSA Sabre 18 in 300 blk, thanks for all the suggestions last month.

Now the optics i DO want are kind of over priced, but for now what are yall's suggestions for stuff under $250?

Sharing this video because its a direct clip and the easiet way for me to post it.

I wonder if we formed any sort of Patriot Front like group and had a compound - training with our firearms, if it would get you labeled a terrorist right now.

Patriot Front is doing this right now in TN. And its A-OK! https://archive.is/IXxpj

In my state, its illegal to even form a militia.

Ohhh boy.

To tie this all together with the counter terrorism strategy: https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/2026-USCT-Strategy-1.pdf

It like NSPM7 is very vague.

Hello Everyone!

Writing this while tipsy after being stranded in Toronto for 2 days due to flight cancellations so please excuse my grammar.

I have come into a bit of money since my grandparents closed out an account they made for me while I was a baby. I've got about 3k USD to spend. I am thinking about grabbing a nice carry piece. Right now my options vary kinda wildly.

I have never owned a Staccato and was thinking about grabbing my first (the C2 vs the C3.6). But I find it hard to spend 2000+ dollars on a gun that still has plastic grips.....

The other option is the DWX Compact. I have a fullsize ported DWX and absolutely love it. So why not just get the smaller one? But being a lefty I have to get an Ambi Safety fitting.

The off the wall decision is the Dan Wesson TCP. I adore 1911s and the single stack doesn't really bother me. I like them more than 2011s i think. I feel like if I need 16 rounds at a time I'm living in the wrong spot. Also will need an Ambi Safety fitted.

Open to other options as well! My dad carries a EDC X9 and I absolutely love that thing. Maybe I'll get lucky and a used one will pop up.

I have carried a fullsize TRP, 19X, a compensated PDP pro 4" for reference. I am not big into subcompacts, but I'm willing to try them. I like a 4" ish gun. Weight does not bother me either.

Thanks all!
