    What's this in my slab?

    So I'm attempting to bore a hole in my slab to anchor a safe....I've made it about .5" and notice this...stuff. What is this? I suppose it could be rebar? Why is it so close to the top of the slab? Should I abort and try another anchor point? ETA: My finger looks very strange in this...

    Grip Safety Not Working After MSH Replacement

    Title says it all. Springfield Loaded Operator. Looking to get rid of the ILS. Bought a S&A MSH and a Brownells MSH refill kit. After installing the S&A MSH, the grip safety will not work properly. When the hammer is pulled back, the trigger can still be engaged without the grip safety...

    Springfield Loaded Champion 4" - Still made?

    Does anyone know if Springfield still makes their 4" Loaded Champion 1911? I'm looking for a 4" 1911 and started with Springfield. I know they have an "Operator" Champion that comes with a rail...but I don't need a rail. You can find YouTube videos, and old Guns America listings for these...

    My Experience with Kimber

    I recently bought a Kimber Custom II as I've always wanted a Kimber. I was hesitant to buy one knowing about the large amount of talk online regarding their reliability. I'm a Glock guy, so I've never really had a pistol that plain didn't work. The thought of having a fussy gun, that cost...

    Will Rodgers Gun Show - Fort Worth

    Did anyone go yesterday? I'm thinking about going today but I heard the crowds were ridiculous...even more so than at 'normal' gun shows. Also, can you tell me what the prices were like? Did you see anything fairly priced or was everything inflated due to the panic buying? Thanks THR

    Electronic Earmuffs Recommendation

    Recommend me some electronic earmuffs. I know Caldwell has a flavor under $30....but does spending more money get you better quality/more features? And if so, what features do you find handy to have? Chime on on what you own, what you've used, and what you think. I'm not looking for a $200...

    Recommend a CHL Trainer in DFW

    I'm looking to get my carry permit and I'm not sure where to start. Everyone here offers a CHL class...there will surely be better instructors/courses than others. Some will also be cheaper than others. I've seen some courses advertised for $65 at gun shows, and I've also seen classes...

    Recommendations on a O/U 20 guage

    The wife told me today that she wants to get a 20 guage...so I'm in the market for a 20 guage :evil: To keep costs down I'd like to stay under $700, so I'm probably looking at used guns. Though I did see a decent looking CZ at Cabelas a week or two ago and I think they wanted $800ish for...

    Browning BAR .22 Value

    My dad has a Browning BAR .22 LR that he's thinking about selling/trading and is curious of the value. It was made in Japan and he's had it since 1977 but acquired it used, so no telling how long it's been around since he got it. I know the gun still functions normally as it should. As far as...

    Simmons Whitetail Classic Rifle Scope 6.5-20x 50mm

    Anyone have one of these? Midway is running their annual sale right now and has them for cheap...plus they are also running a rebate so that's even more money in my pocket. They get tons of great reviews so I'm thinking about grabbing one before they run out. I have a few questions though...

    DFW Range that allows FMJ?

    I'm looking for a range in the DFW area that allows FMJ from rifles? The farthest I would be shooting out to would be 200 yards. Anybody know of anything? Buying hunting/match/ballistic/HP/etc ammo for basic paper punching gets really expensive, really quickly. :fire:

    Ruger MKIII Review and Range Report

    I bought a new Ruger MKIII Target at the DFW Market Hall gun show yesterday, and took it to the range today for some shooting. Range report will come below after my initial observations. The gun is solid in my hand and it grips well for me. I'm not a huge fan of the plastic grips and may...

    Looking for a bipod recommendation

    I am looking to get a bipod for my Savage 25. I generally shoot off of a bench but would like to get into shooting prone more. None of my other rifles have bipods so I'm a little ignorant when it comes to them and how they mount. Here's a picture of the fore end of my Savage. Is there a...

    Shooters On A Budget

    How do those of you on a budget determine what you will buy next? Some people out there have enough money they can buy what they want, when they want it. But not everyone is that fortunate. So what's your thought process on buying new firearms, accessories, etc? How do you rationalize...

    I'm moving from Illinois to Texas in about 3 weeks. Moving to the Lewisville area. I know things are going to be seriously different for me going from an anti-state of Illinois to a friendly Texas. I guess the first of my questions would be can anyone recommend a good range that's in the...
