Hi Flint! Been about a month since we last heard from you. How goes it?

better than ever With modern manufacturing technologies and better metallurgical capabilities, I do believe that modern 'entry level' rifles shoot much better than 'entry level' shooters are capable of. I bought a used (but only a year old) Remington 700 that shoots sub MOA (just barely) for...

Hello Sages of the Forum. I'm turning to you again in hopes of some information. My Grandfather has been dead for quite a few years and I was asking my dad if he had anything his father left him. His response was "nope, nothing except half of his genes and his old gun." I'm the only gun...

I've been an Economist subscriber for a while now. I'm not surprised at how they handled this story. SSDD. There is one statement in this article that is absolutely true - "It is fanciful to imagine that guns will ever disappear from America..." I want to make sure that law abiding...

Given the lore that has grown around this ancestor I think that anything is possible. If I suggested to my in-laws that this photo could have been taken in the United States rather than in the homeland and possibly after the God-sanctioned war with the unholy Turks, I may be disowned. On close...

Once again your knowledge astounds me. Thanks again.

Wow, under 20 minutes! I knew you guys would come through for me. Thanks. But why was a colt 1903 and a savage lever action issued to a Grecian soldier in 1905? Seems like an odd choice. Anybody have any knowledge of what Greece issued to their soldiers? My Google-fu came up short.

I agree It is weird that this isn't even my favorite pistol but I tend to shoot it way more than any other gun I own. Its accuracy is outstanding (for me) and after approximately 3000 rounds I've had zero failures. I've even taken to CC it a few times. This has surprised me. My next gun is a...

If anyone on this planet can identify the two guns in this photo, I'm betting they frequent this forum. I turn to the sages of the high road (Dr. Rob and the like) to help me with this. I married into a Greek family and the only information they could give me was that the picture was taken...

Internet proof is the proofiest proof there is.

To the OP: You would be hard pressed to find a "better" weapon for self defense than the SW 625. There are many many others that are equally well suited however, some of which would be much more convenient to carry concealed. But "better" is a tough bar to get above. My 625JM is very...

Hello all, Just a couple quick questions about used brass. I shoot reloads almost exclusively. I don't reload, I just buy them at the gun shows and have had excellent success. My range buddy asked me how many times the brass had been used - I had no idea. Which got me thinking, how many...

Thanks for the prompt responses. I didn't know if it was even legal - I do NOT want to go to Mexican Prison.

My Father bought a nice villa in a gated community outside of Mazatlan Mexico. I just got back (went without my family) and the place is really nice, as in five star resort nice with the golf course etc. My concern is that my wife and children are going to tire of the resort atmosphere in a...

As neutral as Switzerland I'm surprised by how many "Neutrals" are out there. I am also neutral. A very experienced Shooter gave me some advice when I was purchasing my first firearm. He told me to buy what I shot well and take everyone's opinion with a grain of salt. They are just opinions...
