I'm working on a Savage 10 build in a chassis that accepts AICS pattern magazines. AICS proper mags are pricey, and I've read about Ruger made AICS compatible mags not being capable of long term storage loaded (because rounds can fall out). How is the reliability of Magpul made AICS mags? I...

I picked a couple

Building an AR and building my first one using something besides a milspec grip. I ordered the Palmetto State Armory MOE+ LPK When I installed the grip there was a HUGE gap at the rear part of the grip (that curved part behind the normal pistol grip). I took it back off and tried re-seating...

A couple of places like PSA and Trop have Troy magazines for around $7. The lowest price I can find on pamgs are around $8 - $9. At $7 each is there a reason not to stockpile Troy magazines? Yes I know, when in doubt spend a couple of extra dollars and buy with confidence. From what I have...

Hello all, I am in the process of building a 10.5 inch AR-15 pistol. I was wondering if I can use Magpul hand guards on it or if the hand guard area will be too short to accommodate it. I can't seem to find a straight answer anywhere. Thanks in advance!
