Interesting idea. Not my cup of tea, but I don't really use pillows, and tend to throw the one i use on the floor. It could be good for car camping, as an "out of the way" place to keep a gun while sleeping. I'd like to see videos of "drawing from concealment". In other words, i'd like to...

To Brian: Yes, i was talking 223 vs x39. Its clear you can hunt deer with an ar loaded with good bullets and a good marksman at the trigger. . .but i'm not sure i'd want to. I would think (never having done it) that you'd need to be very, very picky about your shots. I'd rather hunt with a soft...

I would say it depends on what you want to do - hunting, longrange plinking, blasting at the range, etc. Lots of states don't allow the AR for hunting, so keep that in mind. I'm an AR guy, but if i only had to have access to ONE rifle, i'd go for the saiga - it hunts deer (in va, where .223...

In my opinion, what this guy says is true. If you decide to load HP, load it in 308 and 223, and keep the tolerances tight, making true match grade ammunition. The wait time on Black Hills blue box is quite long, from my understanding. . . You could fill the void. Then you could also load FMJ to...

Well, the military tested SLAP (Saboted Light Armor Penetrating) rounds. . . something like a 300-ish grain bullet at around 4000-ish fps. If you reduced the bullet weight to 186. . . maybe you could get up around 5000. . . I dunno.

I'm old enough to have a CHL, but I'm in college, have lived on campus, and have worked at "no firearm" places during the summers. So it was not economically feasable to get a CHL and a pistol when storing/using a firearm would be extremely difficult.

So its time for an ar scope, question is which one. I'm not monied (spent the money i'd saved on the ar), so i'd appreciate advice on a cheap (<200) scope. I'm looking at bushnell 3200 1.5 - 5 Nikon Monarch Shotgun 1-4 Sightron SII 1.75 - 5 (?) The cheaper bushnells simmons', etc...

Here we're allowed to hunt with autoloaders too. :evil: But a lot of the 'pinions on THR indicate that one ought to own an ar in .223 first, and then as a second (or accompanying) rifle, get a 6.8. If ammo were more available and cheaper, it would be a smashing do it all rifle. If any one here...

A guy I know is building an EBR. He has the lower parts and such, but now he’s not sure what to do. See, he’s been saving for a gun for a while, and he already has a shotgun. But he’s in college, and so has to make purchases of this size with great care. He figures that something like a...

I voted shotgun. but the question is, what do you want to do with it, that is what do you mean by "general purposes". Except in a NOLA type situation, i'm not sure an AK would preferable for home defense. Shotguns probably have a larger range of use, and, IMO, you'll do just fine with only...

Honestly, i wonder if he knew what it was and kept it, but then his wife made him turn it in. :)

Zoogster, my question about RF id's is: what if you don't know if its been tampered with? Say, for example, you are close to a lightning strike. I'm not an electrical engineer, but wouldn't the magnetic field created by the lightning might cause some rather high voltages? How might a normal...

Hey yall! I'm looking to buy my first rifle, and it will be an AR. My uses will be mostly shooting from the bench and clutching while reading SHTF posts on internet forums, but who knows what i'll want to do in the future(3 gun/varmit)? THis will be my only AR for a long time due to budget...

For those complaining about the sig 550, look at this: Sig 556 Someone took your advice! And outlaws, There is a company that makes HK 91 clones which have a decent reputation. IMO, for importation issues, the real bummer is that we can't get any norinco stuff. Who wouldn't want a...

AHSA sounds like a good idea Ok, here goes first post. . . Actually, when i saw AHSA, i thought to myself "pretty good", in favor of manufacturer immunity, and owning firearms for self defense. Seems like they know what it's all about, i guess all those people at THR are full o crap and...
