I want to replace my rear sight on my stiga rifle for an adjustable one from Marble Arm #69w, but I don't know if I should buy the normal or high version.

I talked with a guy from customer support, he said that "the sights are measured from the bottom of the base to the bottom of the notch" and according to the measurements I gave him, I should get the high one. I asked him if the dovetail part was part of the base and he just responded the same thing.

The part that confuses me is that when you follow the instructions to find the heights, it doesn't mention adding or subtracting the dovetail. It just says to take the barrel radius + the sight height which wouldn't take into account the dovetail height. The rear sight on my rifle is dovetailed directly in the barrel, maybe it's not the standard or modern way?

My rear sight, from the top of barrel to the bottom of the notch (so the dovetail is not included) is 0.377", which would be in the range of the normal height sight but the guy said that I need to add the dovetail height so 0.377" + 0.090"= 0.467" which is now in the range of the high sight.

Please help, I'm so confused right now..

I was making a purchase for my father on gunbroker for my father and accidentally used my Card instead of his and he's supposed to pick the gun up tomorrow. I really don't want this to look like a straw purchase, what can I do?

Edit: got off the phone with the FFL who is also the seller and the situation was a little too close to a straw purchase for their liking. They gave me a full refund minus 50% of their restocking fee. You live and learn I guess.

Kalashnikov USA KR103 with the chrome-lined barrel with the 7.62x39-specific ACOG (horseshoe reticle) (holdovers are calibrated for the 123 gr projectile) on a Midwest industries mount, Streamlight TLR RM2, Blue Force Gear Vickers sling, Magpul forend and AFG, and the original boxes and manuals for both the AK and ACOG.

Buying a new .243 and debating on which scope to put on it. Debating between a 3-9x40 or a 4-12-40. Any recommendations?

I have an opportunity to buy this 29-10 .44 for $1400. What do you guys think?

Update: I’ve decided against the purchase, especially seeing how I can buy a 629 3” under $1000. Thank you all for the input.

I've been looking for magazines for my S&W 1076 and the used prices are $250-400. At what price would it be worthwhile for a manufacturer to reproduce discontinued magazines?

Unfortunately the Ruger 10/22 Charger is out of stock everywhere, and I'm really wanting a fun 22lr range toy to be a partner to my Glock 19.

Are the other Ruger 10/22 rifles modifiable enough, where I can change out the stock, add extended magazines, and mod it with similar or the same exact mods that I could with the charger?

The specific rifle I'm looking at is the model #32033 or #32000 (since it comes with a threaded barrel and BX trigger) Ruger 10/22 22LR Semi-Auto Rifle.

Another reason why I'm looking at these rifles instead is cost. Looking to get something for super cheap thats still reliable.

Besides the Stribog are there any other good PCC under a thousand?

They just look so cool. I know that in the end they where impractical aswell as bulky but come on... THEY HAVE AURAAAA

I am about to make my first p365 build, and was planning to use the X-macro grip module with a Radian backstrap/magwell combo.

I live in Illinois so I have a 15rd capacity limit, and there is even legal grey area in getting capacity reduced 17rd mags. It seems that PMAG's 15rd mags do not fit very well at all (see second image).

On another post I saw someone recommend Tactical Development’s XM-15 basepad that can be attached to a P365/X/XL 15RD mag; however, it says directly on their site that "Tapered to fit in a magwell. (Does not fit Radian Arms Magwell)". Can anyone confirm whether this is true or untrue?

If anyone has any solutions that work well and are relatively flush, please let me know!

Does this thread adapter exist? I’ve tried looking online everywhere and I can’t seem to find it…. Don’t get this confused by your standard 5/8 x 24. I need the x 18 for an oil filter I bought at autozone today. Any help is appreciated and would also offer some money to anyone who can special make this for me. Thank you!

I saw this from a clip on IG and have many questions lol.

One of my customers is a gun broker, and he’s giving me first pick. (the pearl handle 1911 is mine already) there’s 2 different AK’s , a colt 1911 with the black grip, and a Remington model 12

How is it that Switzerland can have a thriving gun culture and have armed citizens while having one of the lowest crime rates in Europe, yet we can’t do the same?

Im sure this has been discussed in several online articles and even other reddit communities but I wanted to gauge the group's thoughts on how the community is evolving and what that means for roles. For all intents and purposes, please chime in on your philosophy for this topic or your strategy in how youve set up your collection.

Although the AR15 reigns supreme as the do it all platform, I am seeing more people around me turning to pistol caliber carbines and even lever guns and bolt action rifles. For example, I have a friend who only shoots 556 through a bolt gun and uses a 45 caliber carbine. I have another friend who shoots an AR in 9mm and has a 308 lever gun. Interestingly, both these guys love ARs but have shifted their set ups.

What do you guys think? Are you seeing more guys go traditional on rifles and pistol calibers for semi auto?

Jesus Christ.

Not only a home-made firearm, but a 50?
Still trying to figure out how it works.. slam-fire?

I have a 5.56 Ruger MPR with an 18in barrel and I really want to get a suppressor with the recent changes that have been made. I’m fairly ignorant to a lot of the mechanics inside the gun but I’ve been told that it runs very gassy stock. The can im looking at getting is the B&T PRINT-XH RBS 5.56 which from what I’ve seen online has nothing but great reviews. Should I get an adjustable gas block? What does that do? Overall im really just looking to see what all I need to do to be able to shoot my ar with this can. Do I need to buy any sort of adapter? Does it come with what I need? Any recommendations on other cans? No plan to shoot full auto but would like the capability to do so. Shopping on silencer shop. Please drop some knowledge 🙏

Rifle was punching horrible groups and very inconsistent. After a little while, I found 1 action screw very loose. Took everything apart and did a super thorough cleaning including scope, rings, base. Currently I’m getting 5” groups at 50 yards. Everything feels solid, torqued to specs. Is it possible the damage has been done to the action or stock? I’m looking into getting pillar sleeves. How do I find the correct size?

I’d never sell it, but I am curious what it’s worth for insurance purposes. To me it’s priceless.
