Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Serbu Firearms GB-22 concept?

The Serbu GB-22, or Gun Buyback 22, is a concept for an ultra-simple slamfire .22LR firearm. It's designed with minimal parts, using a CNC plate for the frame and trigger, and a slide made from two screwed-together steel pieces, making it a potential DIY project.

Why was the Sandy Hook victims' case against Remington dismissed?

The case was dismissed based on the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA). This federal law shields firearms manufacturers and dealers from civil liability when their products are used in crimes, emphasizing that manufacturers are not responsible for the criminal acts of individuals.

What is the significance of Sig Sauer disbanding Team Sig?

Sig Sauer has disbanded its professional competition shooting team, 'Team Sig.' The exact reasons are speculative, but it may indicate a strategic shift in marketing, a re-evaluation of the return on investment for sponsoring competitive shooters, or preparation for new product launches.

Should a first-time AR-15 owner build or buy their rifle?

For a first-time AR-15 owner, it's generally recommended to buy a complete firearm. This allows the user to become familiar with a platform that functions correctly out of the box, before undertaking modifications or custom builds, which can be more complex.
