      Cycling issue with my AR

      All good points. I started this post at the spur of the moment thinking that I would get a couple of quick tips on directions to go to research the issue. I actually didn't think it would evolve into this type of conversation. So, for my part, I was lazy and didn't initially invest enough...

      Cycling issue with my AR

      Thanks for the helpful post. I never said I was new to guns. I said I am not a lifelong gun owner. I think you are making an assumption about how much research I put into this project. It has taken me about 2 years to complete the project mainly because I wanted to take it slow and be...

      Cycling issue with my AR

      Anything is possible. With the first BCG, it would not even drop all of the way into the upper. The bent key was contacting the gas tube and not letting it slide inside. So, it is possible that fiddling with it bent the gas tube but I tried not to force anything. The new BCG that I have...

      Cycling issue with my AR

      The ammo I was using was reloads that I picked up at a gun show here in Fort Wayne. So, I don't have any details on how they were loaded. It does have a low-pro gas block. I did make sure to lube up the BCG well before hand. I picked up the barrel a while ago at the Indy 1500, and of...

      Cycling issue with my AR

      First of all, I appreciate all of the input. Sometimes life gets in the way and I just wasn't able to get back to this post to update more information! I appreciate your opinion buying vs. building. However, building one from the ground up is the best way to learn, in my opinion. I undertook...

      WTB: Looking for a nice Mauser 98

      Hoosier8: I guess when I say "nice", I mean something that is a good shooter. I want to use the rifle. I am not looking for a wall hanger. I saw some Mausers at Dunham's in Fort Wayne and they were asking $599. I don't know for sure what kind they were of if they were over priced. I am not...

      WTB: Looking for a nice Mauser 98

      I have caught the bug and am really digging the old military surplus rifles. If anyone has a nice Mauser 98, I am interested in picking one up. Thanks Jason

      Cycling issue with my AR

      I had a couple of PMAG magazines and a couple of cheap "gun show" magazines. I had the same issue regardless of which I used. That was my first thought at the range. I made sure to really get them seated up in the lower receiver. I thought maybe there was issues with the spring/follower in...

      Cycling issue with my AR

      I recently completed my first AR build. I took it out to the range to try it out. I am hoping that someone will be able to point me in the right direction in order to resolve the issue that I have with the gun cycling rounds properly. I can charge the gun and a round will chamber fine...

      Rugar American rimfire .22

      In my pursuit of a nice .22 bolt action rifle, I have run across the Rugar American. I believe that this is a fairly newly released rifle. I am curious if anyone owns one and what your feedback on the rifle would be? My primary goal is to get a rifle that I can take out to the range and shoot...

      WTB: 22 bolt action wanted

      I am on the hunt for a nice .22 bolt action rifle. I have been looking specifically at Savage Mark 2, but for the right deal I would go another direction.

      Savage Mark 2

      I do like bolt actions, so that is not a problem. I think he said he would sell it for $150. I have not seen it yet so I am not sure of condition.

      Savage Mark 2

      I might have an opportunity to pick up a Savage Mark 2 from a friend. I am curious what everyone thinks about this rifle. I am wanting to get a 22 rifle. I know the Ruger 10/22 is a great option, but this Savage has fallen into my lap.

      Basic AK questions

      I am probably leaning more towards a 47, but I am not ruling out a 74. I did see the classified ad that kawtench87 mentioned. It definitely caught my attention.

      Basic AK questions

      I am close to finishing my first ar15 build. I want to also pick up an AK to have to shoot as well. I don't have much background with them, so I am curious what everyone recommends as far as manufacturers? Anything specifically that I need to look for before purchasing?

      Has anyone gone through the recall process with Springfield for the XDs? Any tips in order to make the process smooth?

      Mosin Nagant - what to look for?

      I am actively looking to pick up a M N 91/30. I have been reading up on them a bit but I am curious what tips you all may have. What should I be looking for and concerned about when looking at them?

      WTB: Mosin Nagant

      I am looking for a Mosin Nagant 91/30. I would prefer one with the hex receiver, but that is not a deal breaker. I am mainly looking for a rifle that is in good shape that I can take out and shoot.
