This is an important point to make. I think we really need to stress that "assualt weapons" aren't fundamentally much different than any other firearms. In the ten minutes in which the shooting occurred, 26 people died. That breaks down to a bit over 1 death per 30 seconds. In that setting...

Mental health and safe firearm storage are both relatively safe talking points. A number of these recent crazies managed to legally acquire guns even though they had known mental health issues. I don't know exactly how the background check system works, but things like that shouldn't be...

Thanks guys, now I just need to decide if I want to sell. It's fun, but it's just a range toy and I could really use something more practical. I've been hunting deer with a Mosin, so I could stand an upgrade there, and I don't have a defensive carbine yet either. Hmmm.

South Carolina, sorry.

How much should I sell my Yugo Tok + accessories for? I'm considering selling my Yugo Tokarev and related accessories/ammo and was wondering what a reasonable asking price would be for the lot. The gun is in decent condition; it's clearly surplus, but it hasn't been abused and the inside of...

At that price, I'm tempted to sell off the cases I've got.

I've been working on a holster for my M57; just finished cutting out the belt loops and molding the leather to the gun. This is my first attempt at a holster. I've still got to sand and burnish the edges some more, but I'm excited and don't want to stop wearing it. I think it fits well...

I've got a soft take down case from ACE that works well with my 870.

I'm working on it! That's pretty much how I've been doing it, I'm just worried about pulling the trigger with a round in the chamber. I'm afraid I might slip when holding the hammer and put a hole in something. I'll practice it more with snap caps and see how safe it feels after I'm more...

Is there a safe way to get a round into the chamber and half cock it? The only way I've been able to figure out is to rack the slide, loading the round and bringing the hammer to full cock, and then trying to hold the hammer and gently lower it while pulling the trigger. I wouldn't mind that...

I've already contacted the maker of the magazines and he said it was a bad batch, with the problem you mentioned. He said they usually improve once broken in, and if not I could file down the top of the notch a tiny bit and that should fix the problem. Or I can just send them back. I'll try...

I'm in Beaufort and the closest range is $20/hour and about 45 minutes away, this place is a little further (unless you get lost, then it's a lot further) but a good deal cheaper if I'm going to be there a while. The range in Summerville looks nice, but my truck will eat up the savings in gas...

Thanks, I'll probably get some Wolf soon. Range Report! I learned a few things before I even got to the range. Number one is to at least write down the address of a new place, even if you think you know where it is. I spent an hour driving around trying to find a range I've seen in...

Thanks for the warning, but as an owner of a Mosin Nagant I'm quite familiar with the weird looks you get when you start pouring water down the bore at the range. As far as I know, there is no surplus 7.62x25 that isn't corrosive and I'll primarily be shooting surplus. Is the Wolf stuff...

First handgun period. I know these aren't exactly high up on the list of recommended first handguns, but my decision was equal parts "collecting" and wanting something thats inexpensive, reliable, cheap to feed, and fun to shoot.
