      Are Anderson barrels any good? $50 16" on PA

      I have one, on a complete Anderson upper I bought about 8 years ago. Thousands of rounds through it and no problems. It has held up just fine and as accurate as my FN barrels.

      Does anyone still carry a Case pocket knife daily?

      i collected them for many years, had hundreds and some complete sets, I have now passed them along to my son. I still have a few but consider them my "dress knives"... lol. I ALWAYS have a knife, but my 'working" knives are often "Old Timmer"s or something similar. At my age, I am prone to...

      Driving through new York with a firearm???

      Personally, I wouldn't risk it. I actually had a friend who was moving to NJ and was stopped passing through NY state, arrested, gun (.22 pistol) confiscated (he never got it back), and I believe paid a fine and lawyer fees. This was several years ago, but my guess is that it is probably worse...

      AR Trigger Adjustment Screw Worth It?

      AR Trigger Adjustment Screw Worth It? I say no. I tried this very trigger-gimmick and I couldn't honestly tell that it made ANY difference. I even had a gunsmith attempt to adjust it trying to make it better - even tried lighter springs - a waste of money IMO. I don't think it helped on my...

      Where is Trump's tax return

      My $.02. First, it's not required and second, and more important in my mind, it's the job of the IRS and no one else. I don't think anyone (other than the IRS) has any right to know how much I make or what I do with it.

      Best Conceled Carry 380?

      If possible, take her to a range that has loaners or pistols she can try before buying. My wife settled on the Sig P238 after trying many others. It is easy to rack, a plus for her, and extremely accurate. She can put most in the 10 ring at 7 yards. It has nice sights and many options as far...

      Inground Pool Expenses?

      I had the same delima, my wife and kids wanted it but I didn't. So, we compromised and did it HER way. Pools are expensive to maintain, at least 100 bucks a month, assuming nothing breaks, but it will - a money pit for sure, kinda like owning a boat. I got in it a few times the first few...

      Opinions on best surplus rifle?

      My first hunting rifle (other than .22 squirrel rifles) was a German K-98 Mauser, re-barreled to 30:06 - back in 60's. I had it drilled and tapped for a Weaver variable power scope and put a Timmy trigger in it. I also put a fancy sport stock on it and added a leather sling. Took my first...

      Little Ar help please

      I have a fairly new Anderson RF85 Upper, Anderson lower, over a thousand rounds through it now and not one single failure. I am using Magpul 20 round, Gen 3 (I think) magazines and a Elite Tactical Systems 30 round magazines. My first suspect would be the magazines.

      Hunting optics

      I have a number of scopes but this one has become my favorite. https://www.amazon.com/Nikon-P-223-3-9x40-Mate-BDC/dp/B006YVT0R8/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&qid=1489209098&sr=8-10&keywords=nikon+scopes I have only killed one hog and it was at about 50 yards. I also think it is a good idea to have a...

      Is it worth it? Geissele and Eotech

      Looking for a cheap alternative to the trigger that came in my Anderson RF85 AR-15, I tried the "Enhanced Polished Trigger Group" from PSA and 3.5# JP trigger springs and the measured trigger pull actually went up from 5# to 6#. After a bit a research I wound up buying and installing the Rise...
