    Militarily are handguns obsolete?

    I wanted one most of the time, and had one part of the time. As a backup incase of malfunctions, and as a primary if poking around in houses or tunnels. The rifle however, will always be my weapon of choice beyond ten yards.

    Mosin Repro Sniper......problem.

    if you are shooting a parallel line it won't be an issue even at long range. what you must do is sight in with the POA 1/4" off center in the same direction as the scope is off center. the best way would be to boresight it, the farther the better, but of course it is harder to do. it will...

    Remington R1 1911: should i get it?

    I recall the NRA gave them a nice review in the American Rifleman a few months back, and it sounds like they are a good bet if you want out of box accuracy. I am eying them a bit, but alas, I am poor. And cast doesn't always mean brittle, just depends on the alloy, but it definitely can be and...

    great balls of fire (mosin-nagant)

    Probably some unburned powder in the short barrel, there is also an overbore of around .45 or 12mm that is about an inch deep, rather than a standard muzzle crown, so this may make for a nice chamber to form said fireball. On another note, I took my m44 that has had a scope added to the range...

    My fellow law student sues the University of Idaho to have guns in student housing.

    When I was living in Boise I was told that I would not be breaking any laws by carrying on campus, only violating school policy. The reasoning being that though the school could ask me to leave, or add a fine to my school fees, or even expel me, but I was still in my rights to carry a weapon on...

    Some say a .380 isn;t enough

    My wife's Walther PPK/S is one of the most accurate pistols I have ever shot. Maybe we got lucky in picking, but it shoots good. I would pick that any day over something that I couldn't trust past twenty feet, no matter how big. I personally carry a .40 though.

    Some say a .380 isn;t enough

    Most vests, such as our own military's, are designed to stop shrapnel, not bullets. They will stop up to a 9mm fmj, but anything beyond that is not a guarantee. To effectively stop a bullet you have to wear the plates, and they always have gaps.

    Some say a .380 isn;t enough

    I don't feel that a .380 is ideal, not by a long shot, but it is sufficient if it is what you have. It also goes to show, that a bullet put in the right spot will usually beat the bigger one put in the wrong spot, and the .22 you carried on your belt or in your bra is better than the .500 S&W...

    Can a non-US Citizen shoot my guns? (MI)

    Since the subject is here, what about hunting? Of course they would have to take the classes, and possibly get a nonresident permit, but would they be barred from hunting? I have some friends in Denmark who are thinking of sending their son to go to high school here for a year or so, and I...

    New to reloading with ?'s

    I reload on a budget, so I don't have anything fancy, but I have found some things that work for me. Crimping: I don't, not in anything that I shoot and have never had a bullet move. If I were going to I would not do the roll crimp, just the four petal lee stuff. I have had too many raised...

    Crazy deer in my back yard.

    The wildlife services guy came out, then walked up to the deer, which started doing its little dance and ramming into him. So he went to his truck and got his 10/22 and went to pin the deer down, then held the muzzle up to the base of its neck, and proceeded to have 3 bad rounds in a row, or...

    Crazy deer in my back yard.

    It's funny the runaround you get just trying to get in contact with the right person, but then when you finally have enough people harassing each other they get you in contact with the right person. So there is finally a wildlife resources guy coming out.

    That is who I called, the northern region office that is.

    Crazy deer in my back yard.

    I won't shoot it unless i have to, though that is the proper thing to do in my mind. I just called the wildlife services department, and they gave me a message saying that they are closed, and that if you are calling to report injured wildlife, contact your local sheriff's department.

    Crazy deer in my back yard.

    It is still there, it falls over a lot, then stands for a while, then runs in circles again. it looks very sick.

    Crazy deer in my back yard.

    There is a mulie doe in my back yard right now, it is running in circles, running into things, and generally acting out of it. It is smallish and my be a yearling. I live in city limits, so I called the North Park Police department, but they said that so long as the deer is still alive they...

    Idaho snubs Federal law, am I reading this right?

    I just left Idaho a few months ago and I miss it. They passed a bill to say you don't have to take the government healthcare as well. I think it is good, it may not work out perfectly right away, but it is just a bit more protection from the federal government and their ever increasing number...

    8mm seating question

    Agreed, not to mention that round nose bullets will contact the rifling more quickly, and mil-spec chambers can be fairly long, it varies a lot, and there are advantages to going short and to going long.
