      3D Printed Gun Frame

      Has anyone ever fired a gun with a 3D printed frame? I know people are doing it, but I haven’t heard actual results. I know people are using 3D printed Glock frames and AR-15 frames (and probably a ton more) but it seems a little crazy to me. If it would work then great that’s a cheap way to...

      AR-15 Stripped Lowers

      Hello does anyone know where to get cheap AR-15 stripped lowers? I found a complete one on Classic Firearms for $100, but after tax, shipping, and FFL transfer fee it was practically $200. What’s the cheapest total cost of a stripped lower that y’all have found? (I am perfectly fine getting a...

      Glock Builds

      Hello, I am attempting to build a G17. Does anyone have any experience as to which complete slides are any good? (I’ve already completed the lower) I have have found a few options, but there are almost zero reviews. Any help?

      Springfield RO Elite Operator - 10-8 Duty Tune DVD Build

      I finally finished my 2nd 1911 build! I actually started this one before my "first" 1911 build but I did this one pretty slowly over the course of a year so it ended up finished second. I followed along Hilton Yam's Duty Tune DVD and both the video and Hilton himself were greatly helpful...

      1911 Build #1: Complete!

      My first full and complete build, mostly back from refinishing (still some delays but **** happens). This was a very challenging but rewarding process and I'm really happy with how it turned out. I found that the best resource in learning how to do this was Hilton Yam's 10-8 1911 duty tune DVD...

      Need advice again on building another AR 15.....

      When I first found this forum and posted a request for advice on buying my first two AR 15s, one of the first and most common comments I got back was that "These guns tend to breed....". Well, I understand that now. I'm looking at building a third gun for various reasons and would like to ask...

      AR Rookie: Build Them Myself or Pay Someone Else To?

      So I'm a pretty handy guy, and I'm well-versed with YouTube. But here is my question: is it wise to build my first three ARs myself, or should I just pony up and pay my local shop $85 for each gun to do it for me? I'm particularly interested in knowing my systems inside and out. And these are...

      Palmetto PA-10, need an upper

      Basically I need to know what barrels will work in a PA10 upper. I've had a PA10 lower for quite awhile now, and have been waiting for PSA to release an upper that I like. So far, nothing. I now want to build the upper. I contacted PSA support, and was told the "PA-10 platform is loosely...

      I think I made a mistake...

      I impulsively bought a MAG Tactical stripped lower (the light weight sold me) from Beech Grove Firearms, (+1 for them,) to start my very first AR build and didn't realize the possibilities. Do I want an sbr, a carbine, a 20" barrel? Is it normal for me to want more receivers already for...

      Building a bolt action rifle

      I'm interested in building a bolt action rifle that I can hopefully, one day, use in competition. I was in the USMC and miss being on the range. This is new territory for me and I don't really know where to start. I imagine it would be easier buying something like a Remington 700 or Ruger...

      Handgun Build

      I have a friend that is curious about building a handgun, I told him about building maybe a 1911 or a Glock because those are the only two i've every really heard of anyone building from the frame up. I was curious if anyone knew of any others that are somewhat popular to build.
