Re: Sterling Arsenal - Armorer
Yeah, these guys are alright. Heads up. It is a an odd feel when you go there. You have to pass through another shop (different business) that they share the space with and then you go in to the back shop and then up to the loft where they are. So it's not like a gun store really. But once you're up...

Sterling Arsenal - Armorer
After seeing the email for the contest to give away an AR I was reminded that I never came back here to VGOF to report back on my experience at Sterling Arsenal. I think that it's only fair that I do considering that VGOF is where I originally found out about them. I wanted to an armorer close to my...

Re: Gas Block on a "Pin & Welded" Barrel
That's an interesting point... Although I had a MI low-pro gas block installed on a BCM 18" heavy barrel under my Daniel D. rail and after a few weeks of break-in I never had mis-fires or problems with my gas system ever. I know that Brownell's sells a dimple set device just for this purpose th...

Gas Block on a "Pin & Welded" Barrel
So I sold my 18" heavy barrel so I can put a smaller lighter barrel on my AR. I really want a 14.5" on there, but you have to buy them "Pin & Welded" with the muzzle accessory already on there from the factory. My problem is that I have a Daniel Def. 12.0 LiteRail and that wo...

Re: AR-15 build or buy complete?
I don't know where yall are building these rifles for no $850!?!? Maybe parts are more expensive in SoCal where I built mine a little over a year ago before I moved here to NOVA, but it really get's down to what you want I guess... And I wanted a Bad-Ass AR! And that's what I have... A true masterpi...

Re: New 9MM Advice - Sig P226 or CZ 75B?
I'm of course partial to CZ because I have a CZ75B. Here's a story about accuracy... My buddy is in the S.S. on Obama's protection / travel team. Needless to say, he's pretty good with a pistol. We were out at his mom's farm shooting our AR's this past fall. His service pistol is a Sig. He said &quo...

There could be someone out there with your exact same name doing things that you would never do." If it's ever taken longer than you expected to get the background check done when buying a gun, now you know why. :roll: Hmm... Funny you should mention that. When I bought my CZ75B @ Loudoun Guns...

Re: CC Application Returned to me...
I have a better story.... Many years ago, I worked in a hotel. We got a new manager with the exact same name as me. One day, some woman called the hotel and asked for me by name, so they transferred the call to my desk. When I answered and said hello, she proceeded to ask me what time I was leaving...

CC Application Returned to me...
So I walked my application in to the Leesburg clerk's office after the Loudoun Co. Sheriff did the background check, thinking "This is a slam dunk. Should see my permit soon, can't wait!" Then I get a letter from the court stating that my answer to Question #8 was "inconsistent with t...

OH Man! This is my secret spot! My brother-in-law (Fairfax Cop) and one of my Secret Service buddies turned me on to this place. Yeah, it's cool there. It's a ways out there though. No benches definitely and do not try getting out there in a car. Although I did see this guy and his son pull up in a ...

Re: Red Dot Sights?
I don't yet own a handgun but I did recently get a great red-dot for my AR from PrimaryArms.com It was definitely reasonably priced and they had quite a few to choose from. I love mine and it stays on and re-aquires just fine even with rapid fire kick from my AR. Maybe they have some for handguns. C...

Re: CZ 75 SP-01 tactical
Alright, my bad. Research before popping off!
Just checked the website. The 75 SP-01 has the decocker in the place the manual safety is on the standard CZ 75.

Re: CZ 75 SP-01 tactical
I think I'm going to back to NOVA Armament and take a look at the CZ. My brother-in-law is a cop in Fairfax and he's all about the Glocks. He did some checking on the CZ's for me at a gun shop out there in Frederick county and he called me today to let me know that he didn't think there is a de-cock...

Re: CZ 75 SP-01 tactical
That whole weight issue between these 2 pistols is really the biggest factor in my opinion and is all about what you prefer. Personally, I hate Glocks. Why? Because they're so light it feels like a toy. There's no hammer. The safety is your finger. I personally like to at all times be VERY aware of ...

Re: question about CC and traffic stops
Yeah, that was what my brother-in-law was saying. The movement in the car is always a trigger for alert by the officer. And what I meant by "You need to" is you SHOULD notify him about the gun once he's asked you to get move to get your lic. & reg. It's just good gun etiquette. Think a...

Re: question about CC and traffic stops
My brother-in-law is a Fairfax county cop and he said many times it's really more about how the info is conveyed. Do Not: Start right off when the cop gets to your window say, "I have a gun and a permit to carry it." Even if you're trying to be up front and make the cop aware. Remember 90%...
