Looked at an Olympic Arms AR-15 today. They were asking $849 for it. My buddy said that he had looked at the same rifle two months ago and it was something like $649. The new gun shop in town will be getting in DPMS AR-15's next week. Does anyone know how good the quality is on these two brands?

Thanks to both of you for the info. I would not want to break any laws as long as we have a lawful society.
If you could own one good assault rifle, what would be the brand and caliber? :)

Thanks for the advice, toy. Also, why is the caliber listed as 9x19MM on the XD specs, but all the ammo I see advertised is referred to as Luger 9MM?

Don't have it in my possession yet, but I just purchased a XD9710HCSP06 to carry concealed. This is a 9mm with V10 ported slide with a mag capacity of 16 rounds and a 4 inch barrel. This is my first center fire pistol and I am anxious to get it and fire it. Any pointers would be appreciated. What is...

Hi-Standard Model B

I have an old model B hi-Standard pistol. Where can I get a good schematic for this pistol? It's in fair shape, but at present it will not cycle without jamming. I have removed the firing pin and the large diameter that is struck by the hammer was swelled a little. I chucked it up in a drill and sto...

Remade the two #10 washers a few different times. Filed the outside washer to .440" diameter, test fired, filed to .438" diameter, test fired, filed to .437" diameter and test fired. Was not able to fire 2-10 round clips without the trigger hanging up and not resetting. The side slop in the hammer a...

Ear Protection

I purchased moldable ear protection from Cabelas. These work fine for .22 cal. shooting. However, a guy next to me started shooting a .45 cal pistol and the molded plugs were not adequate. What do you experienced shooter recommend for good ear protection? Do you guys like electronic devices, such as...

Cocked and dry-fired the pistol several times in different positions. Trigger seems to be resetting without firing ammo. Field stripped and I noticed that the hammer has lateral motion of about 0.050 of an inch. The inner washer seems to be staying in the timing flat that was the first cut on the wa...

Mag safety removal

Bullseye, I took my pistol to the range last night. It would only fire the first shot. The trigger would not reset. I had to eject the bullet in the chamber and the next one would fire. I did this with a couple of clips. It would not fire two in a row. One I was able to feel the trigger reset after ...

Buy a Ruger 10/22

Buy a Ruger 10/22 target rifle with a heavy barrel. I purchased my first .22 about a year ago. I bought a Savage Shark Mako with the accu trigger. It is a bolt action with a heavy barrel. I shot paper target last winter, indoors at 75 feet. Last summer I shot outdoors at sillouettes. Chickens, pigs,...

Well, I orderd a VQ accurizing kit for my Mark III 22/45. Decided to get the whole kit after I found it on the internet for less tha $90. If you remember I had polished my hammer and seer and got the pull down to 4 pounds. While I was waiting for the kit to arrive, I decided to use Bullseye's excell...
