I'm looking for something that I can store my guns and ammo in. Sturdy and hopefully fireproof. Budget is around 1000-1500 CAD max.
I've been looking at a website called Canadian Shield safes but I can't find reviews on them.
Just picked up this psa upper. 10.5” What are some good optics for a close quarters? This will not be made for long distance shooting, just close targets and quick plinking/home defense. Eotech, aimpoint? Holosun?
Any real differences that I should consider before deciding which to get?
so i’ve got a red dot that fits onto the rail of it but i am trying to figure out the best way to either remove my front sight or find a good riser to keep the front sight as well i have a smith and wesson m&p sport 2
This is my first AR build. Research was limited to youtube videos and reviews of the products on the Primary Arms and PSA websites. Mostely just going to be used for training. Any ideas on what sucks/couldve been better in terms of choices would be appreciated. I plan on upgrading to a BCM upper one day and calling it day on this build.

Would've bought a Precision Armaments Hypertap Muzzle Brake but I PCS soon to a state where brakes make a rifle an "assault weapon", so cant do that.
“Spare parts” build
Why does the gun community go nuts over DPMS Kitty Cat builds, but every other time a 7.5” 5.56 is brought into the mix it immediately finds itself on PlebianAR? For what it’s worth I am in the camp of 10” minimum, but I find the difference in reactions interesting.
I'm marrying a 16" BCM upper and Wilson Combat lower and wish to know if I should get any kind of special buffer tube and spring, or if the run of the mill PSA kind will be sufficient. Is one buffer tube and spring noticeably better than another?
Having a hard time finding rings high enough for my Vortex Crossfire II. Have the Vortex "high" rings already.
Anyone point me in the right direction?
That day alot of us don't want to think about happened.. inherited all of my father's guns. Here is his AR to the right of one of my AR's. We were the same but different.. RIP Dad!

I originally wanted the exps3 thinking I would future proof for NV down the road, but it's so much dough to get into NV, I decided to save the money. I bought an XPS2-0 for my 11.5". It was an impulse buy and I'm wondering if I'm going to miss the riser/mount of the exps3-0, let alone, the fact it is QD. Should I raise this up at all? How tall is the mount of the EXPS?
I'm thinking that at some point I will want to add a magnifier, so I'm thinking ahead of height over bore.
Follow up question: If I buy irons, what will be the co-witness situation be?
Needs a few more things till its done. Just added a 30mm top dot mount for internet points. Just waiting for the dot. Then a light, and then maybe buis.

What’s the consensus on those cheap SFP Sig Sauer LPVOs? Are they durable? Basically, are they cheap cuz everyone wants 1-8 FFP instead of 1-6 SFP, or are they cheap cuz they’re shit?
Earlier this year I released a video showing how to mill an 80% on the 5D tactical jig. But since then I've bought an old beater CNC. So I decided to show how to do it there as well. Way faster! Also you can press the button and go do other stuff while it chugs away at it. It's a two part video. The one you're probably most interested in is the second one that covers programming the machine, the milling, and then checking of tolerances to ensure compliance https://odysee.com/@NotaGunTuber:a/CNC-Milling-80percent-Lower:a
But there is also part 1 which is a prerequisite for that. Part 1 covers the design and milling of the holder jig needed to secure the lower in the mill https://odysee.com/@NotaGunTuber:a/lower-holder-jig:3
I'm getting a pair of sights for my first rifle, looking specifically at Daniel Defense fixed front+rear. My handguard is an Aero R-one.
I've read that irons mounted to the handguard can't hold zero perfectly, which makes sense since it's not attatched to the barrel nor the receiver.
My only question then is: How well would the sight+handguard setup that I have hold zero? What kind of PoI shift should I expect? >1MOA @ 100m, etc.?
I understand that buying a red dot is probaly just the easier solution, but I'd prefer to start out on irons since there's not much that can go wrong with them.
Savage MSR 10, 18” barrel….want this to be my DMR…the glass on it now sucks( Sig Whiskey 3)….glass recommendations please….budget under $1k
Want a one and done, reliable AR-15 in the $800-$900 range and I want a pre assembled rifle. I’ve narrowed my options down to these two. Which one should I go with? Why?
Doing my first run and gun competition this weekend and started venturing into the world of chest rigs. Normally I would never run this much (or really any) 9mm on my chest rig but the competition requires about 100 rounds of 9mm and 100 rounds of 5.56.
