      Suggestions with upgrading to a newer model/style of AR

      Looking for gun shops with bolt carrier groups in-stock

      I’ve recently started getting some spare parts for my AR-15 M4 style carbine fearing a coming ban on future sales. One thing I passed on ordering last weekend was a bolt carrier group. Tried to order this weekend but the same web stores are now out of stock except maybe some really costly...

      Career change suggestions and opinions...

      Hey everyone. Last year I finally became vested in my public safety pension. My pension is the basic state pension and it won't pay anything for another 20ish years till I turn 60.

      Private party Facebook groups--warning

      I just saw the post about private party sales and it spoke about the Facebook groups that have popped up. I'm not sure how long these groups have been around, but everyone should be extremely cautious about these groups. I feel these groups could let folks gather a lot more personal...
