Hey all. Im looking for a 3 - 4 inch barrel 44 Mag that wont be more than around 30 oz empty. I dont want anything as short as a 2.5" and anything longer than 4" is just too much, since some areas I backpack in, the gun needs to be concealed, which I do fine in a small lumbar packs, which is...

I had this stuff laying around, it seems sensible to carry in a pack while backpacking because it is too thick to leak much. It seems like it would work like any good oil to help from corroding and its nontoxic and wont stain or ruin rubbers or plastics in my pack if it does happen to leak...

I need to find straps that can be used with a kydex rig. I cant seem to find anyone who sells a nylon strap that is or can be attached to a clip or buckle closure without having to own sewing equipment. Anything between 1" and 2.25" will work. Anyone have any ideas where I could look?

Im planning a backpacking trip to Maine later this year and from living up there in the past (about 15 years ago), I vaguely remember the moose being much more of a threat to people than the bear are. I hike and camp with my dog and while a bear could take him (VERY large dog bred to defend...

My buddy has a DPMS ar-10 style 308 (LR-308T). His dad decided to try to remove the front sight and somehow ended up drilling a whole right through the barrel (dont ask :banghead:) Anyway, my buddy called DPMS about a replacement barrel and they stated that they are backordered for quite a...

I've gotten my first good quality camping / survival knife and I want to know if I need a specific rust inhibitor for knifes, or will the gun oil or CLP I use for my firearms work just as well? I decided against stainless steel for several reasons, but the obvious downside of that is that even...

Guys, feel free to jump all over me and call me an idiot for even allowing myself to think like this...but something just has me not feeling quite right about this scenario, I would really appreciate your input. I am selling some body armor on a gun auction website and for some odd reason I...

It seems like once or twice a day lately I hear about some deadly killing or mass murder with guns being the tool of choice. I have also noticed an increase in police shootings on the news. I know murder and suicide tends to pick up in hard times, so I would expect to hear about more crime...

Just now I was sitting in my living room which has large windows overlooking the pond and the woods and I see one of my neighbors kids walk down the road towards the woods with his rifle in hand. The thought just occurred to me how nice it is that this can still happen in some places and no one...

Lets say an ammo tax is imposed to avoid an all out gun ban, but in effect give the same results by making ammo unaffordable. What do you feel would be the best way to make ammo more affordable, either stock up now and hope you have enough to last, or to buy reloading equipment and hope that...

I only have handguns in 45acp right now. I have sold off all of the handguns I dont use and money is very tight due to the economy. I have agreed with the wife to buy one or the other, but not both right now. Even if I found a way to afford both, the wife wants whatever I dont spend on the gun...

I have always been a staunch republican and a single issue voter in support of RKBA. However, I feel that bot the demecratic and republican parties have gotten out of hand and my party doesnt even care about the RKBA. I think that if anyone can shake up the government good old boy network Obama...

I have checked a firearm when I fly for the last 5 years (about 30 - 40 times per year I check a firearm). Occasionally the TSA has asked me to give them the key to my gun case and I refuse. I ask to see a supervisor and the supervisor has always stated that I am correct and that the TSA...

Here is the USP Compact 45 LEM I purchased it new and sent it right to Ford's for hard chroming and engraving. I know to many this is simply blasphemy, but I couldnt be happier. I am simply stunned at what an amazing job they did. The hard chrome is a brushed finish everywhere other than the...

I have been looking for a good tuckable holster, and two holsters that come highly recommended also look VERY similar. The prices are quite different, but I have no problem paying for quality. My question is, does one have any benefit over the other? They both look so similar its hard to...

I have used a sparks VMII and I love it, but even with the clips it doesnt tuck well for me. I also tried a CTAC and that was just plain uncomfotable for me because the kydex kept digging into the skin on my lower back, and the clips kept comming off my 1.5" gun belt. I usually shoulder or...

I live in Montgomery County PA, and the NRA just sent me their list of A rated candidates. I was supposed to be working locally next week, but I just found out today that I have to go out of state for business, and I am currently out of state on business. I will not be getting back until...

Today I walked into my apartment and found 3 men who didnt speak English working. I received no advanced warning of this, and even though all my guns are in a large safe I was worried. If they are illegally here and thus are felons, does that have any reprocussions for me as a gun owner? I...

There hasnt been any really huge change in ammunition technology in a while. People are still using blackpowder to hunt, and still use lead based ammo often. I am happy with the current rounds and weapons available, but it seems like innovation drives the markets and I was wondering how long...

I travel to all 48 cont. states quite frequently (on the road 80 - 90% of the time), I can carry in 37 of them and I rarely spend more than 10 days in the same state at one time, often its more like 3 or 4. Anyway someone asked me what states I can carry in the other day and it made me realize...
