This may not be what you are looking for but I use 3 - 5 gr Green Dot with 55 gr .223 bullets to produce accurate sub sonic rounds for shooting Beaver in my back yard with my AR - 15. Does not cycle the gun obviously but makes much less noise than a .22 LR. I have a psychotic anti-everything...

In Colorado you can have your hand gun loaded and anywhere concealed within the vehicle as long as it is not on your person unless you have a valid CCW. You do not need to inform LEO if stopped that you have it. Other states I am not sure on their regs.

I've taken more game with an AR than any other rifle I own. My son shot his first elk with an AR-10 opening morning of his first hunt when he was 12. The AR is the perfect hunting platform. Can be adapted to many calibers, easily adjusted to fit individual shooters, light weight and extremely...

I shoot a lot of Federal Bulk Packs because they are the cheapest. I do find that my AR upper does tend to Jam or miss fire on them about 5% of the time. Mostly it seems to be related to inconsistencies in pressures within a lot causing the AR not to cycle fully. The other issue is that...

That's a good Christmas present for your boss. Several years back I did the opposite and arranged a CCW class for all my employees and other suppliers I work with as a Christmas present to them. About 70% took advantage of the class and maybe 40% of those got their permits. The ones that did...

Paintballs do work well. The owner also gets the picture that their loose dog has been causing problems. Pepper spray works well also but you have to get closer to the dog to use it.

The covenants in my neighborhood specifically state that any stray dogs may be shot. Never had to act on it. I moved from the last place I lived in years ago partly because the Sheriff asked me to stop using my 7 mm STW for shooting dogs as too many homes had been built in the area and he was...

Each of the inter mountain western states have their pluses and minuses. I've lived in Colorado for most of my life. The last 20 years have seen an influx of East Infections and West Coast liberals that have really brought down the state. Denver and the Front Range cities are an abomination...

As a follow up, I got my Elk. About 125 yds slightly down hill in heavy wind. One shot - double lung, right where I aimed it. Went down immediately and never got back up - 200+ lbs of meat in the freezer. Thanks T/C for getting a straight barrel on my rifle and back on my hands quickly...

Partial Conclusion T.C. finished with the rifle on 9/10 in their shop and shipped it that day, overnight air back to me. I received it 9/11 by 10:30 am (I would call that fast, because I live in the sticks). I opened it up and sure enough they had replaced the barrel with a straight one...

I have not heard the resolution to my friends brothers situation with his rifle yet. I am sure that the barrel was bent, if you put a straight edge on the top of the barrel (in front of the sights, past the taper) it ran flat on the barrel until the middle ram rod lug and then sloped...

I purchased a new Thompson Center Encore Endeavor 209X50 muzzle loader for this up coming elk season. I received it on 8/29 and took it to the range the next day. While attempting to sight it in, I could not get the elevation to come up any higher than 6" low at 50 yds without having the...

Hmm, My black rifle is my big game rifle. :D I guess the media likes to brainwash the ignorant as to how effective the black rifle is as a big game gun, especially since you can get them in .300 SAUM.

MachIVShooter, you are not completely correct. Our liberal criminal loving governor Bill Ritter signed a bill into effect that states that permits issued to people who are not a resident of the state that the permit was issued in are invalid in the state of Colorado. Out of state permits are...
