    Be careful joining the military, I hear your career preferences are not their highest priority.

    "Massacre" at Shooting Range (from the Onion, nobody panic)

    So, with blue targets, are we discriminating against victims of hypothermia?

    General-purpose .308 light rifle

    Not to be critical, but the whole backup irons thing is military derived. A hunting gun needs a permanently attached scope, variable power, that sits LOW for good shooting ergonomics. If you get a light 2x7x28 or something, you can crank it down to 2 power, and shoot something ten feet away...

    Bolt Action vs AR Accuracy

    The action makes a bit of difference, but the barrel and the ammo used make more.

    Shotgun magazine extensions.

    They aren't that expensive, you could always try.

    Wife wants guns gone; Alternative storage solutions?

    Ask her if you can store them unloaded. There is no chance of a mishap if they are kept unloaded.

    General-purpose .308 light rifle

    I swear by the Remington 700 in 30-06 as the Deer Killah X-treme. Its little brother in .308 would be good.

    did I hear what I thought I heard?

    Holy 80s on that hellfire video. I own a slide fire stock, it's fun. I don't shoot retarded amounts of ammo downrange, and you can shoot 1 at a time with it if you wish. While it's not as accurate as a single shot, it still hits the target. I'd say 5 to 6 inch groups free hand at 50 yards. I...

    22lr SP101...Where are they already?????

    No need for folks to get all butthurt over comments that a 22 should be cheap. Ruger pistols are based on quality and value. I will not pay 1 grand for a Ruger pistol, 22 or otherwise. I own quite a few Rugers, including some .22s, so I feel entitled to voice my thoughts on what price I think...

    Mag-Na-Port Custom Revolvers.....

    I'm not "naysaying it," I'm questioning its necessity or even its benefit on a gun that doesn't need it. On a 2 inch barreled scandium 44 mag? Sure. On an 8 inch barreled N Frame 357? You might want to see your doctor if you need that. Considering the very real damage it could do to your ears...

    Fletchette rounds

    They used to make double ought buck for a 20. I killed my first deer with it, some 22 years ago. I hit it with 3 of the 5 pellets. Not bad for a 9 year old.

    Anything else like collecting firearms?

    That's one thing I never understood. I have some Snap On brand, but why get a Snap On hammer? It's not like it's more precise or something, it's a fricking hammer.

    .380 vs .38 Special

    I don't particularly care how a gun manufacturer measures a barrel. It is what it is. The only data I would care about is how gun X, with a barrel however you want to measure it, stacks up against gun Y, when cartridges of known powder and bullet grain are shot through it and chronographed...

    What kind of gun-related career would you recommend? I need a college major!

    And another thing. Get your education then go to work. I abandoned my master's thesis and went to work, now I'm trying to get it done again while working 55 hours a week and it is a pain.

    What kind of gun-related career would you recommend? I need a college major!

    I'm a mechanical engineer. I'm currently finishing a masters. Engineering school is tough. I'm not trying to dissuade you, but, be advised, there are courses designed to break you. If you go in there, and they give you the old, look to the left, and look to the right, only one of you three...

    Bought a USP Compact 40 in stainless for my old man.

    Hoppe #9 - A Few Questions

    Hoppe's 9 won't eat that. I clean with that, then oil the heck out of them with FP-10 and tetra grease on the sliding parts.

    .380 vs .38 Special

    I would call baloney on counting a chamber for one and not the other. Physics doesn't work that way.

    Real Shotgunners Shoot Pink Shells.....

    The only problem I have with Breast Cancer Awareness is that there are other cancers out there that could use that kind of support. I was at a car show registering, and it was for this awareness, and the registration lady asked this man in line "Are their any survivors in your group?" The man...
