    A silencer for both 5.56 and 7.62?

    I have a Dead Air Sandman-L. It's my first can, thus far, and I'm very impressed with it. I routinely shoot .308 and .223 through it, no problems.

    After the Bang

    Not true. The Miranda warning is triggered in any case of detention, v. community contact. And, the accepted definition of a detention is simply when a reasonable person does not feel free to leave. From the other side, the Miranda warning is triggered when a person becomes the focus of...

    After the Bang

    Haven't posted in a while, so I hope this is helpful. For the folks here who don't know me....let's just say that if someone gets shot, I'm one of the guys that respond. I read that some folks believe that the police are trying to get a statement from you to work up probable cause. Guess...

    S&W 52 with full Wadcutters

    I use 3.2 of HP38 under a Hornady 148 gr. HBWC in my M52. I seat a little under flush, and use a gentle roll crimp over the front radius of the bullet. Very accurate load--and since mine has a slide-mounted Ultra-Dot, it's a joy to shoot.

    PSA and BCM comparison

    First...I am NOT bashing any brand of AR. That being said, the thing that sets BCM, Colt, and FN rifles apart is that they are the closest thing to actual military specification that you can buy. For these rifles, the barrel and parts of the BCG are manufactured from this stuff...

    7.62X25 vs. 9mm, ball ammo stopping power

    There are a number of variables in play, one of which is bullet design and construction. However, based on the criteria in the original post you have one outstanding factor to go on here, and that is pure speed. The 7.62x25 functions on blistering speed and a light bullet. An 85 grain...

    Does anyone have any idea where to find powder?

    I mean, come on...this is getting absolutely ridiculous! NO powder, anywhere! Has anyone heard anything? What about the Accurate Arms and Ramshot powders? Alliant? Anything at all? I'm specifically interested in the Pacific Northwest.

    On AR15 Barrels...I need one!

    Yes. I have a Hart barrel on my benchrest rifle, and it shoots like a dream. Kreiger is my primary choice--they'll not only make a barrel to your specs but they will also install a barrel extension and headspace it to your bolt, if you send in the bolt. Krieger, however, is also the most...

    On AR15 Barrels...I need one!

    Yup..but this one will ride the bench a lot, as well as some prone shooting with a bipod.

    On AR15 Barrels...I need one!

    I am about to build an AR15. It will not be for duty, contingency or anything serious at all. Not for competition, either. This will be a pure fun gun, something to punch holes in paper with. As for components, I'm not too picky. I'll use Colt parts for the small stuff--a RRA 2 stage...

    Black Folk and the NRA

    I don't know where you have encountered this...but it has been my experience with fellow instructors and shooters--most of whom are NRA members--that the surest way to get a LOT of people VERY angry is to make a racially oriented joke or slur. Most of the people I know will simply turn...

    Handing A Loaded Gun to Another

    My situation mirrors this almost exactly. I carry a 1911 as a duty gun; however, I had just come from the range and had my Glock 22--our department's standard issued sidearm. Another officer had come to back me up on an arrest--fortunately, I had the perp cuffed and stuffed already. As he got...

    About to pull the trigger..

    ..on a new shotgun. I have been bitten hard by the 3-gun bug...and I want a new shotgun! Actually, I have two serviceable pump shotguns--a Winchester 1300 and a Remington 870. Both are smooth and work well--but I want a good semiauto. So, out of the shotguns noted, which would you...

    Which 1911 to get?

    Indeed, sir. Then consider the Colt Special Combat Government. It is their top of the line handgun, and it comes with a test target that equals the accuracy of a common Bullseye gun--3" groups at 50 yards. Yes--I said 50 yards, not feet. And that's out of the box. They run about...

    Which 1911 to get?

    To the OP: Is there any reason you excluded three of the top 1911's on the market? Dan Wessons have an excellent reputation. The Sig 1911's are nice and tight, and have a reputation for accuracy. As for Colt--all I'll say is this: I have owned a 1911 Enhanced since 1993. It is...

    "Grandpa, tell me 'bout the good ol' days"

    I remember seeing rifles in racks at Woolworths, and my wife buying a revolver for me for Christmas at Montgomery Ward's. I remember going into the Marshall Field's Store for Men in Chicago; standing there drooling over the Colt automatics in the display case. But, all is not lost...there...

    Why does NICS need the serial number of my new gun?

    @Fryerpower...Understood about the multiple sales. This is done on an ATF Form 5100, IIRC. I'm talking about the telephonic NICS check that asks the same questions as the ones on the 4473.

    Why does NICS need the serial number of my new gun?

    ??? I have never heard of NICS requiring a serial number. Anyone else?

    Off the wall powder purchase.

    OK...any news yet? There are a few powders I have seen on the Alliant website that do look promising.
