I moved out the next morning. The scenario was real and my primary thought was that de-escalating to avoid complicating a simple but volatile situation was the better choice. I mention it as me ruminating my thoughts and weighing logical vs. what might have been instinctual for me at a younger...

I had a confrontation lately. After nearly 10 years looking for a good job I found one that really suits me out of state. I've had to rent a room until my house in another state sells. Problem was after living as a renter for 3 weeks, I find out the homeowner who also lives in the house is a hot...

...a range Nazi? In my eyes, over the last 33 years and excluding military service, I've run into about 3. The last one 2 weeks ago but before that about 10 years ago. I belong to a very informal MS range that started doing informal trap shoots last year. The hours from 1030-1500 to...

TJx, Hey man, I've been known to put 20K rounds downrange a year in practice and in competition. If it didn't work I wouldn't buy it by the gallon. I even use in on my garage floor to remove oil spills. Use what works for you but your comment is purely misinformation.

Subtlety is key for me... I keep it very discreet and only hats that are clearly only understood by learned gun folks. No GLOCK, RUGER, SMITH & WESSON or HI POINT blazoned across my chest or hat. If I wear other gun type shirts, they're usually not "loud" but a simple logo and usually only at...

Hk usp Make mine an HK USP 45acp Expert.

NPR skewing left-wing Sorry to say I've noticed the subtle but sometimes pronounced left wing slant of Nimrod Public Radio these days. I lean conservative but once was a Democrat who supported Clinton ONCE then no more. I found their handling of Juan Williams downright despicable and counter...

I thought I'd pose a question to any well versed Californian about gun ownership. I have brother in San Jose who wants a gun to start shooting competition but is on a tight budget and knows next to nothing. I want to sell him a used but very good semi auto with 10 rounder mags of course but...

I should mention that I shoot the exact combination in 40 SW out of a Glock 35 and my brass comes out clean. Same Moly bullets only in 180 gr, VV N 320 and Fed SPP. So what's the difference?

I don't understand why my brass comes out dirty with powder residue on the upper half of the shell using Vithavourhi N 320-one of the cleanest powders you can find??? I'm loading 4.9-5.5 gr of this with 200 gr 45 ACP RN Moly bullets out of a polygonal barrel. I also use Fed. LPP. When I'm...

Thanks for the tip Joed. I'll have to look at the S/N and think about that. The 305 gr bullets are all I'd want to use for backup in Grizz country short of a 45/70. As far as the price, I agree, it's a steal. I do want to remind my friend about that as I wouldn't want to take advantage of...

What you want? What I want but can't have: Full Auto Thompson Submachine gun M14 Sig 550/551 Galil 308 HK 417/416 HK MP5/MP40

Thanks for replies. It's next on the acquisition list after the M1A, but it's next.

Recoil Tube That is the limitation of what I can cut. A bolt action does not have this but I would still be limited to where the pad screws go unless I want to use Acraglass. I'd prefer a local smith to do this but they prefer wood stocks only.

I'm curious if anyone here has any success shortening LOP on their composite/synthetic shotgun stocks? That at least is my plan for my FN SLP shotgun and my Tikka T3 Lite stocks. The LOP on both of those are 13 & 13.5" respectively. I'd also like to add softer recoil pads but that's for...

I've learned a lot posting here on this caliber. I recently borrowed a friends 629 for a hiking trip in Montana and Wyoming. I cleaned the heck out of it after putting 120 rounds through it and holy cow, that thing was filthy. It had rust under the hammer spur, in the trigger guard housing...

First off, the couple got lucky they only got roughed up. Worse would have been body bags tagged at the morgue. Situational awareness should have been first, stopping for gas at this hour was not a good idea especially without checking the store or surroundings. Denver is still a rough town...

Police trade ins Most guns under $100-150 are probably really junk or they're stolen. He could probably find a used Glock or SW revolver at a gun show for near what he can afford. Glocks just seem to last forever and even 1st gen. will keep on shooting. There are good guns made by Taurus...

That 556 was supposed to address Americans answer to the want for 550s. Too bad the 556s only give you 2-3MOA, mediocre sights in a heavy 223. I didn't want to pay $1400 for that. I only hope they fix that and do the 516 correctly!

Trigger Locks I prefer trigger locks to those cheaply made gun locks that you could probably take wire cutters to. I think all of those are cheaply made in china.
