I stand corrected, I honestly thought I remembered reading that they passed this, but maybe it was an amendment that never made it to the law. Now I did read in the new law, "To track high-volume ammunition purchasers, the legislation will make New York the first state in the nation to track...

The other part of the new NY law that I haven't seen mentioned yet, is the limitation to 500 rounds per 30 days. How NY is going to have a database, tracking how much ammo one buys in any 30 day given period is beyond me. I can see someone buying 50 rounds and the person recording on the other...

The way I see it, there is still nothing in the Constitution that allows the Federal Government to mandate everyone to buy a product. The supreme court calls it a tax and therefore it is allowable. Then you also have the supreme court striking down many of the mandates of the Arizona law and...

My main concern with that, is can you swap over a standard 5.56 upper and still be able to use AR mags? If not, then that's completely worthless IMO, as the whole point of a AR is versatility and rapid switching of upper receivers, like going from a 5.56 to a 6.8 SPC or 300 blackout and back...

I'm adding to the list a Vortex Viper PST 4-16X50 and may even pay more for FFP. How does that compare to the Leupold Mk 4 4.5-14X40 Target?

My friend has the SWFA 3-9x42 mil/mil scope, FFP and I am amazed by how clear and bright that scope is, even in low light conditions. The adjustments are crisp and very accurate. Great price for a FFP too. Only knock I have on it is that the MOA elevational adjustment ~68 MOA, otherwise I'd...

I know there will be those of you out there that will give me all heck over this (and yes I've already heard it all), but I don't bother tumbling till after the ammo is loaded. It's served me very well.

I know that Sturdy Gun Safes are made in the USA and I would guess their steel comes from the US, but I do not know this for sure. Something to look into, as that is the gun safe that I want to get. Well unless I'm wrong about where they buy their steel from that is... Thank you for the list...

I recently bought a nice .308 (still waiting for it to be shipped), but I am looking to put a nice scope on it and I've done my research, but maybe I've missed something. What I am looking for is mil dot reticule, at least 80 MOA elevation (90-100 MOA preferred as I do not like the idea of...

Primers never cease to amaze me either. I didn't want to dry fire an old Swedish Mauser that I had, so I used the already fired brass I had for it and I had a primer go off even after it had been shot and it made my ears ring a little! I would never have thought that possible till that happened...

Although 10ring, which is a more of a small reloading shop (where I go for a lot of my supplies), has a small, but adaquate selection of guns as well. Definitely the most personable/friendly gun shop in the area. But no real surplus military weapons there unfortunately.

I live in the greater Houston area and so far, I haven't found a gun shop that I really like. Although, I think that looking online at texasguntrader.com is excellent for finding what you want used at sometimes very reasonable prices (sometimes people ask way too much, but that's how it is...

I'm not even 30 and lately I get more excited about pre-lock, pre-MIM S&W revolvers than I do about anything else! Now that's not to say that any gun won't get my heart rate up a little... :-)

I bought a LAR-8, Standard Operator but had the factory put on a adjustable stock found on the Elite Operator at no additional cost. I'll get the whole thing for just under $1500 and for me, it had all of the options that I wanted. If I went DPMS, I would have ended up spending over 2 grand...

I'll go with either the FN SCAR or the Bushmaster ACR. Aimpoint Comp M4 2 MOA red dot, with a Aimpoint 3X FTS magnifer on it, with a vertical grip.
