For the AR fans out there, I bought a Mossberg MMR. Go ahead and roll your eyes at my cheap-o AR. The biggest complaint with the MMR is that the trigger feels gritty to the point of annoyance.
I was thinking of buying a Timney Trigger to drop into it. I love the Timney I have in my Mosin Nagant, and I know it would be cool in the MMR. However, is putting a $160 trigger in a $550 rifle worth it?

A Timney trigger is worth the money but I guess it would depend on what you're using the rifle for and how often you use it.
Of course, you could always go a little cheaper and get something like an ALG Defense trigger.

I went ahead and color-filled the roll marks but I'm not entirely sure what I want to do with the zombie head yet so I left it as is. I have all the parts for the lower already so I might put it together later today and slap it on another completed upper I have and take it to the range to see how it works.
What furniture do you have in mind? I know you said "a zombie theme".

I've got a "zombie hunter" dust cover and even though my lower parts kit came with a polymer Magpul Enhanced Trigger Guard, I'll probably get a laser etched one with zombie something or other on it.

Was putting a $160 trigger in a $60 rifle worth it?
But in all seriousness - if you just want a better-than-USGI trigger, try ALG's ACT trigger. It's not fancy (no 2-stage or anything) but it feels like a very well broken in USGI trigger with minimal creep.
I'm having issues finding magazines for some things, but thats about the worst of it right now.

Yeah, my Mosin 9130 has more than just a Timney Trigger in it. Rock Solid Scope mount with bent bolt handle and trigger shoe, Witt Machine Muzzle brake, Duracoat, Archangel stock, and a 6-24 power scope.
For those that say Mosins aren't accurate, I am shooting 1 inch groups at 150 yards. After about 20 rounds though they start to stray as the barrel warms up.
Hah, I had a Mosin blow up on me about nine years ago. Blew brass through my throat, some powder through my left eye and stripped one finger down to the bone (yikes).
They are good guns, just a few words of warning on them. Check behind the lugs on the bolt, I have had a few come into the shop with cracks behind them due to improper heat treat. And, if you have a rough feed ramp, have a gunsmith polish it for you. That was one of the main causes of mine blowing, bullet didn't slide up the ramp well and got pushed back into case compressing the powder.
Well, late to this forum but, I have a mostly rotating collection of firearms. Mainly rifle receivers I am doing builds off of.
Here's a little gun porn of my projects for you guys!
In related news, I ordered the barrel for my .300 BLK build and I'm pretty excited about it. The only things I have left to get for it are the BCG, handguard, muzzle device, and gas system! I have a pretty pricey commission that I'm going to finish up within the next couple months that will pay for all of that stuff and more so it's only a matter of time...

Very cool stuff, I look forward to seeing that 6.5 Mauser, I always liked that particular caliber.

Well, I just had an impulse buy. I have a lot of 45 Long Colt ammo around. I want another weapon to shoot it with, so I went out looking for a double action revolver. Double action in 45 limits me to basically a Ruger Redhawk and a Smith and Wesson.
So.... I began looking for revolvers in .454 casull, and .460 Smith and Wesson. Just a little more money, can still fire the 45 LC, but I can have a hand cannon when I so choose.
While I might still get one, I found something else on gunbroker that tripped my trigger. I found a new Rossi M92 lever action rifle. 16 inch stainless barrel with the enlarged lever loop. I ended up snagging it for $290 plus shipping. Too good of a deal to pass up.
As suppressors just recently became legal here I have been debating getting (and making) some. There is a suppressor kit from Preppers Discount where you can turn a Maglite Flashlight into a suppressor for a .22. It seems to work really well for that round, and I'd love to suppress my .22 Uzi.
As for something a little more serious, I was considering getting a 300 Blackout barrel for my AR-15 and suppressing that as well for when I hunt coyote or wild boar.

I don't think manufacturing is lawful here, just purchasing... right?

I think you can make your own just as long as you register your plans with the ATF before even attempting the build. That would require some money, and a few months wait.

Given the amount of time it takes to get your form back plus the $200 stamp it probably makes more sense just to shell out for something off the shelf than make it tbh
OK looking for a pistol for concealed carry. Down to two options. Both are roughly similar in price. Both are 9mm and are roughly the same size class.
Sig P320 9mm or a Glock 19 gen4 in 9mm. Anyone know any pros or cons of either?

Both are nice pistols, the Glock is more utilitarian looking but has far more accessories and aftermarket support, the Sig is a little nicer to handle and look at but has nowhere near the aftermarket support for things like mags and hoksters. You cant go wrong with either, its really the subjective secondary qualities that will decide that.

As someone who has only just recently a) bought my first pistol, b) started carrying said pistol here is what I found to be helpful.
1.) Go to the range and rent a few different pistols in a few different calibers.
2.) Find the gun that fits you and that you can shoot well
3.) Shortlist some choices and work out what sacrifices you can comfortably make. Full size v compact v subcompact. Striker v DA/SA v revolver. Safety v no safety. And so many others
4.) Do some research from credible sources - is the gun reliable, have other owners found issues with them, is there anything that the gun is missing that you might have to factor into your budget (trigger, sights, etc.)
5.) Budget. What does the pistol cost? How much is the ammo? How much is a good quality holster? How much are cleaning products?
6.) Storage. Where do you plan on keeping the gun if not on you? This is probably more important for those with younger families
7.) Take a training class. I found this really useful when I was still deciding on a pistol, and the class that I took had my primary choice (M&P9C) available to use during the class. This let me try out the pistol with a qualified instructor to help me decide if it was what I wanted.
8.) When you buy the pistol and if you decide to carry then get a good quality holster. Again after much research I settled on an AlienGear holster.
9.) Take the time to set up your holster so it is comfortable. I had to raise the clip on one side of mine to offset the cant and conceal it better. Also when wearing the holster I pulled the belt a notch tighter than I normally wear it because on my first carry I did not do this and the holster shifted a little.
10.) For semi automatics have at least one spare magazine. Murphy's Law means that it will fail when it is most inconvenient and the extra mag will help get it back into operation.
Before I settled on the M&P9C I shot the XDS9, Sig P938, FNX9, XD45, Shield, H&K VP9, Sig 1911, Glock 19, and the M&P9 full size. So there were a lot of range trips there, and I went with a pistol that fit my hand well and matched my criteria.
