Be sure you can get to a gunshow if you're staying over a weekend. http://www.tsra.com/codepages/gun-show.html If you're in the Dallas area in september, the largest DFW shows I've been to are the Dallas Market Center and Big Town. The ones in Ft. Worth are a little smaller than the other...

I agree with greybeard. I renewed my license 2 months before it expired. Turned in all the paperwork, wated 2 months before getting a letter holding my application because there were some streaks in my submitted photos. I got new passport pictures (I thought they looked worse), then got the...

I purchased a handgun from them several years ago. They had to order it (limited production item) and they kept me up to date on the status of the order, and when it arrived about a week later. Very good, friendly service.

Did you see the FN SCAR over at the Bachman's table. They were asking $4995. Also saw the Mini-Windrunner in .308, pretty nice.

cgs500: hey, you should stay until at least saturday when they have the Big Town gunshow in Mesquite. Also, bachman's pawn has good prices (I've purchased a couple HK's and a rifle from them).

Browningguy: thanks! Completely forgot about that option. I was thinking about just a simple barrel/bolt change vs. an entire upper. You're right about the cost of a complete upper...wow

I was interested in getting an semi-auto rifle, probably AR platform. I know Robinson arms makes their XCR in 5.56/6.8spc/6.5g, but I was wondering who else makes one. I think its just a matter of a barrel and bolt change, but who else makes them. This can also include bolt guns (I think...

Claude: That came from the Arnold Schwartzenegger movie "Commando". He played the character "Matrix" and his inadvertant partner was Rae Dawn Chong. The quote was after he dropped the guy over the side of a cliff.

If you've ever driven around the neighborhood of LAX you'd understand why he was carrying 37 loaded weapons....:eek:

SS: Have you thought about a remington 700? You can shoot it, replace the barrel at a later date, change the stock, get it trued, etc. Same thing applies to a remington .338 lapua, I think it comes with a muzzle brake. With the money you save, you can get some good glass, bipod, reloading...

Silentstalker: I've had one for about a year. For me, it fits very nicely. Accessories for it are very expensive. I purchased mine for about $2450, added factory muzzle break, one additional mag, and factory bipod. With tax, it came out to about $3500. If you add shim pads, a scope mount...

Thanks all! This looks good, kind of expensive but less than buying a new shotgun.

I saw an ad for a beretta 682 shotgun with Kolar subgauge tubes. I'm not familiar with these tubes, which were in 20, 28, and .410. What do these do? I tried to google this but all I saw were prices for these. So, I'm not sure what they do and how they are used/inserted??? Just trying to be...

I was looking for a spotting scope, not too big and around $400. I saw the Bushnell Excursion spotting scope (I like the folded light path design) and didn't want to spend $1200 for a Leupold. Anyone with opinions? I thought about straight/angled scopes, but thought a more compact design...

Some of the electronic muffs clip and some attenuate. The ones that "clip" shut off sound completely, whereas the ones that attenuate decrease the sound but do not shut the sound completely. My Peltor's clip, whereas the Pro Ears attenuate. I generally use the pro-ears, but when I'm at the...
