Wanted to disassemble the gun to get to know it better and do a deep clean/oiling. I am having a problem with the last step of reassembly.

During reassembly, everything works well until I attempt to reinsert the crane lock screw, detent, and spring. I line them up (though the detent does not want to fit well into the screw) and screw them in, making sure the spring is in both the detent and the screw. I get resistance before the screw is flush.

If I stop screwing at that resistance point, the gun functions normally: the chamber release works smoothly, the chamber rotates on a double action trigger pull/when cocked and single action fired. If I tighten the screw beyond that point, the chamber is too tight and does not want to rotate or release. Any advice? Thanks!

Does anyone have any tips or advice about switching sides? For the most part I’m very ambidextrous, however, I shoot my rifles right-handed. My right eye is much weaker now as age has set in, my left eye has become my dominant eye and still has 20/10 vision. I’m finding it hard to find a truly comfortable grip from the left side and was curious if anyone else has gone through this or has experience with it.

So i press the triger down to fire but the gun doesnt click it actually seems to lag and then click i found that wiggling it makes it click a bit faster but not immediately and wiggling doesnt really help w accuracy (tried all of this dry firing)

What gun components give the best for these. Assume ammunition is a ball, and its a load and fire once kind of gun. Whats the best sort of gun parts/dimensions for this kind of thing. I was doing research and found shorter barrels increase velocity, any other tips like this would be helpful. Also does rifling affect velocity or anything? Or does it just increase accuracy. Any and all tips are welcomed.

This weapon doesn't exist but it won't be using powder, it builds pressure then releases all at once.

The base pin for my Heritage Rough Rider won't lock in place when I try to put the cylinder back in. Any tips?

Hey guys and gals I’m looking to buy my first rifle and was wondering what to look for in a semi auto chambered in 223,5.56,7.62,10mm,308,30-06,270 etc looking at under $500 for a basic setup, no add ons or upgrades right off the bat.

Ok so I have a CZ p09 that I conceal carry. The only problem is that I suffer from NAAA(No arse at all)disease and my pants keep falling down no matter how tight I have my belt. Should I look into a smallerhand gun for concealed carry or is there some sort of trick to it. I tried the side holsters but being a big guy they are too revealing when I wear my work uniform.

I am sorry if this is not an appropriate place for this. Can anyone advise how I could order a stun gun for self defense if I live in a State where they won't ship it to me? Thank you.

Hey guys, I just bought a s&w m&p 9mm shield ez and I was wondering if you guys have any tips on a flashlight attachment?

So Just yesterday I was cleaning my SAR9 because it was a bit dirty. When I cocked it back to get the inside my hand slipped and a piece of the cloth caught into it (dumbest mistake I know) I’ve been pulling it to see if it’ll loosen up a bit however that didn’t help. Do anyone of you know what to do?

Does anyone know of a relatively cheap gun safe that is only big enough to hold a shotgun and maybe could be slid under a bed I recently turned 18 and plan on buying a home defense shotgun as a first firearm and my mother isn’t too fond of guns but she acknowledges the fact that im going into a line of work surrounded by fire arms so there aint no point in stopping me from buying one but she said if I am to bring a gun into this house i need to buy a gun safe im just looking for something small and cheap because im leaving for the marines in a few months and once im established ill just bring it to base and have it stored in the armory

I am experimenting with the Dolos system, and intend to use three separate barrels with it; 6.5 grendel, 300 blackout, and I was thinking of 5.7 for fun. The only source for a 5.7 barrel and bcg that I could find is Cmmg, but they specify that it converts the operation of the gun to radial delayed blowback.

I haven't been able to find any info on whether or not more modifications need to be made to the gun to make this system work(aside from the magazine conversion). It doesn't use a gas tube, so I am wondering if the receiver gas tube port needs to be plugged in any way(deal breaker). Have any of you built with this kit?

This is the product: https://cmmginc.com/product/barrel-and-bcg-kit-16-1-416ss-sbn-5-7-x-28mm/

For those unfamiliar with the Dolos system, it allows you to do barrel swaps on your AR upper in seconds. The appeal for me is to maximize gun case real estate. I can fit my AR pistol and a rifle length AR with 3 16" to 20" barrels and bcgs in one rolling case.

What can/can't I do to a carbine as an under-21 Tennessee resident? I looked around and couldn't find any answers.

As the headline suggests, new to the gun world. I bought a S&W M&P 2.0 and have taken it to the range a couple times. One thing I’ve noticed is I’m having difficulty lining up my sights with the target down range. Most shots are hitting the target but the grouping is all over. Any tips on how to help tighten my groupings? Should I invest in any sights?

For context, everything on the gun is stock. No modifications were made at this point. Aside from aiming tips, welcome any other suggestions as I’m a new gun owner and shooter. Thanks for the help!

I'm a woman with fairly medium sized hands, so not tiny hands, as far as grip goes. Looking for something reliable and not too bulky that I can take on long hikes and camping for an extra safety measure. But not so small that it looks ridiculous wee baby gun. I fully intend to get professional training and practice with this gun until I feel confident and proficient. Got my short range jogging and everyday weapons sorted, but when I'm way out away from civilization I don't want to take chances, be it with man or beast. Thanks for any advice.

I bought truglo tfx pro and my local gunsmith said that they were unable to fit the rear sight in place because it just wouldn’t fit appropriately.

Does anyone have any recommendations on sights for this specific gun? I just can’t seem to make the xray3’s work for me. Ideally a FO/tritium combo but if it comes down to it either a blacked out rear sight or fiber optic rear sight will work as well. I’m not quite interested in a red dot at this time.

If you can please be as detailed as you can when recommending something (relative new shooter here) so I can get an objective view on how I should spend my money.

Thanks!

I'm new to guns. G10 seems like something brands like to brag about. What makes it so special? Is it over rated?

Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this... I have no idea where else to do so.. But i have a Sig P320 up for trade only and i just got an offer on it, and the offer was a mossberg 930 SPX tactical. Now I'm more or less trading for the sake of trading, I've traded over 5 times in two months, and I'm addicted. I'm still trying to trade up though. I want to be able to get something I want badly eventually and I'm just seeing where this goes.

Problem is, I have NO knowledge of shotguns, and dont run them. I dont like shooting them. I have a few times and it is just, Meh, to me.

So my question is, is this a good trade? Should I got with it or wait for something else? I appreciate any help, and again, apologize if this isnt the place for this kinda post

Yes, I like the rifle, no I'm not selling it, no I'm not buying a different rifle.

.

I'm looking for suggestions for a bipod that will fit on the for-end via the swivel stud... and maybe have a loop on the back that I could attach a strap to. I saw one for $400, but that seems ridiculous for my purposes.

There must be one out there for sale that won't damage the for-end that does this, but without ruining the lines with Picatinny rails... and which is less expensive than that.

The cans are brightly colored, the contents are biodegradable, explode when hit (even when using .22s), a very disappointing treat on a hot day, and they're only around $2 for 12 targets!

So, I'm a lefty and I'm building my first AR. I just got a complete LWRC M6 IC lower and have been hunting around for an upper to match that ejects brass on the left. It's proving to be difficult as I'd also like the upper not to have a forward assist.

I have already contacted F1 Firearms about their offerings and it looks like their uppers would interfere with the bolt catch on the right side.

I've also been looking into the Faxon ARAK 21 upper. This looks sweet as hell being piston driven but it looks like, again, the upper would interfere with the right bolt catch.

Does anyone have any recommendations or experience regarding an upper that would fit these criteria? Could be complete or stripped.

(I've heard and understand the arguments not to go full lefty, but would still like to complete the build this way if at all possible.)

Thanks!

Looking for a sccy cpx2 replacement grip frame. I screwed up a D.I.Y Stippling project and I would like to redo the whole thing. If anyone can find the stock pile I would GREATLY appreciate it!

Hello Pro-Gunners! Thank you for your time,

*Context: w/o ownership of a centerfire firearm I'd like to eventually own a non-.223 AR-pistol that would share a lower receiver for a future .223 rifle. Legally, I need to start with a lower of "pistol" origin.

*Preferences: A 6-9" Pistol-Gas 300BLK upper OR a 10.5-14.5" Carbine-Gas 7.62x39 upper FOR less than 300 yards/PDW.

*Question: If you were to value subsonic capability (and would reload the ammunition), BUT MORE SO value cost/round (manufacturer or reloaded), which of the two uppers would you choose, and of which barrel length? Cheers!

Just bought a Glock 17 gen4 mos. I need a storage solution for keeping it in my room ready at hand but also safe from unauthorized access/ visiting kids.

Suggestions? Inexpensive if possible but I know that's not necessarily possible.

Thanks

Hey all, Want to build a glock 19 from an 80%, but I'm having trouble finding info on how to register it. I'd like to be able to CC it now that we are in cold months.

Basically just wondering if it needs to be registered, and how I would go about doing it. I at least would want to be able to take it to a range and use it without worrying about anything illegal. If it's just a range toy, do I need to register, or is that just if I plan to carry it. I definitely am not looking for a safe gun.

Not sure if this is the right place for this question, but any help is appreciated. Also, I'm in Michigan if that helps.

Thanks guys!!!

I've narrowed it down to a PTR91 GI and a DS Arms Voyager 21. Anyone with experience with both (or similar G3/FAL clones) that can say one is better with steel ammo? As a whole, I like the "feel" of the PTR better while holding it, but the DSA has controls I've come to really appreciate, namely a last shot bho and bolt release.

Hi, I am 17 going to be 18 soon and ever since I was a kid wanted a gun. I have shot guns with my dad and now I am saving up money for a gun. I live in CA unfortunately, so as far as an AR goes I might just get an upper and wait on a lower till I move after college. I was thinking about getting a 590 A1 Moss or a 10/22 since rimfire is exempt apparently.

Any advice would be great!

I'm looking for an IWB holster, right hand draw, for a Springfield Armory XD-E 9mm.

My traditional go to, crossbreed, has not made one yet.

Any suggestions?

I built this website initially for myself since I just wanted an easy way to track my progress as a new shooter. I'm curious if other will find it useful and I would love some feedback.
