    A different Garand ammo question: Your ammo experience

    I just bought a (1952 receiver) Springfield Garand that has an SA National Match barrel and am going to shoot it for the first time. I have a small amount of Lake City ammo and am planning to buy either LC or Greek from CMP. What is your experience with these two? Which is more accurate? Is...

    Story: Thought I was going to buy a rifle, but a West German Sig...

    Story and pic: Thought I was going to buy a rifle, but a West German Sig... I went to the local indoor range today. I've been "obsessing" about getting a Beretta CX4 in 9mm, thinking that I needed a carbine. So, I figured that I'd better shoot my M1 Carbine today. And, I wanted to try my Sig...

    For fun..found my NJ 1967 and 1971 permits to purchase pistol!

    All these years later, I find these permits in a small box of keepsakes. I was 19 in '67. I was obviously smarter at 19 than 22! :D Sure wish I still had that #48578 Colt Commander in .38 Super! :banghead: Hey William, you out there? William?

    Buck Mark Challenger or Ruger Standard

    Only these two choices, ladies and gentlemen. I've owned Rugers and still have a new Hunter, and I've shot a Browning model. Just want a "bottom feeder." Which one and why? http://www.browning.com/products/catalog/firearms/detail.asp?value=006B&cat_id=051&type_id=391...

    Sig 220 Carry with short trigger & slim grips (pics)

    I know there have been posts about this before, but... After reading about the short trigger experiences of others on THR and the Sig forum, I ordered one and installed it. I'm very happy with the change. My finger/trigger position is improved because of it. More reading led me to order the...

    It's in the eye of the beholder. Let's FEAST! Show off your 1911. Smith and Wesson 1911 and Kimson Buffalo Horn Dragon grips. Colt Series 80 and Altamont rosewood grips.

    My Kim Son 1911 grips have arrived and I've decided which gun deserves them.

    Some might remember that I posted three mockups with a poll in which I asked you to vote which of my 1911s looked best with the grips. Here's that post: http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=326052 Well, I tried them on the Colt, Smith, and Dan Wesson. I thought for sure I'd go with...

    Poll: Which 1911 for my new Kimson grips?

    I don't have them yet, so I quickly made this mockup, which is a bit sloppy, but you get the idea. Both the Colt and Smith are actually closer to the darkest of gray colors before becoming black. The "green gray" on the Smith is misleading... Oh, and if you hate them and want to tell me I...

    Did you ever buy back a gun you sold...I mean the exact SAME gun?

    Well, I did. I needed some dough and sold it to my dear friend and fellow THR member Ulflyer. he knew how well it shot and always teased me about when I was going to sell it to him. I told him never! Of course, one should "never say never." So, one day, in need of some quick cash, I sold...

    Tenor attempts suicide with air rifle?

    Can this be true? Sheesh! Perhaps the story is innacurate and it wasn't an "air rifle." If true, more fodder for the caliber wars! :confused: http://www.cnn.com/2007/SHOWBIZ/Music/07/12/tenor.shot.ap/index.html Star tenor in apparent suicide attempt Story Highlights Jerry Hadley on...

    AR as my HD weapon????

    For years, I've had a shotgun and pistols as the primary HD weapons. But now I own a Colt AR-15 A3 (Had an AR years ago but..). Somehow I can't imagine relying on an AR inside the home (modest home, we're talking about distances of 15-30 feet in most cases). Seems to me that no matter what...

    Automatic weapons stolen from NC sheriff's office vehicle (news video)

    In light of the VT murders, many antis fear those of us who have a right to our firearms and obtain them through legal means. The following story once again shows that bad guys could care less about gun laws... I bet Wake County, NC sheriffs and deputies won't be carrying firearms in their...

    Am I the only one who prefers a blue Ruger Single Six?

    I have owned two Ruger Single Six revolvers, both stainless. Sold 'em both, the first too long ago to remember why I sold it and the second because it was a 6.5" model and I want a 5.5". That said, although I totally understand the advantages of stainless, I'm thinking of a blued model...
