    Great deal on a rifle sling

    I don't know a lot about the sling, but its called a Crossfire Extreme and they make different ones for rifles and bows. $8.95 is a decent deal on even a normal sling but this seems better. Anyway just thought I'd throw it out there for those that are interested. It's a limited time deal...

    Pocket carry

    For pocket carry, what is your pick in an automatic? I'm thinking maybe of an lc9. Also, are there any pocket-carryable 45acp pistols on the market? Just to be clear, I'm considering 9mm and up, and fit in a pocket holster Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk

    Silencer for a noob

    Ok, so I'm finally getting a new job in the field I want, making close to double the money I'm making now. Previously I didn't even come into this part of the forum because I hate window shopping. So I can finally justify buying.....a silencer! I'll need more raises before I can go FA. So...

    Magazine tapping

    Do you *always* slap magazines against the palm of your hand to make sure the cartridges are seated? I have some guns that don't seem to care if the round is a little forward of the fully rearward position but it seems my 1911 wants to jam if they're not all the way back.

    Chip McCormick Powermags

    Ok, so I had bought a used 1911 from my LGS. I took it apart ant put it back together, and everything seemed to work fine, except that the factory mag wasn't locking the slide back on empty every time. I don't know whether the slide stop was getting worn or if I screwed something up, but I...

    With this 'arsenal', which sports could I play?

    With this 'arsenal', which sports could I play? Among the various NRA-endorsed and various other shootings sports organizations, what shooting sports events could I participate 'as is' without any additions to this collection? My stuff isn't really tailored or custom anything yet, but I'd...

    Police at gunshop

    Was just at a gunshop finishing up a layaway on a 1911 and a couple of police came in. They asked if anyone knew <guys name>. The gunshop owner said yes he had met him, he'd just been in to get a gun and the paperwork had come back denied. They said he had no record or warrants they they...

    high capacity shotgun

    So I'm in the mood for an extended tube pump-action shotgun. I'd like it to have the black-tical tactical look but have screw in chokes so i could swap out to different chokes for non-HD use when I have the need. What are my best options here for low cost?

    New AR Owner questions

    Ok, first of all.... WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Finally an AR! Now that I've got it out of my system, I have a few questions. I picked up just today a Bushmaster M4A1 from my lgs (Gun Runners in Monroe, OH - great guys). Came with the typical GI mag, a sling, and a pretty decent padded hard case...

    AR build thoughts

    Couple of questions real quick. 1. For an "all around" AR with no one purpose but may be called upon to do many things, what length barrel and accessories do you think would be best? A "mid-length" barrel? Also, how do you feel about a forward grip? Upsides/downsides compared to a bare...

    AR - Dead Reliable?

    So I'm considering trading something and some cash for an AR. I like the AK I have, and I like how it hasn't ever jammed. I hear a lot of talk about reliability between the two. But from people who have owned both post-vietnam era: How is their reliability when compared to one another...

    Cetme?

    I saw a rifle labeled as a CETME at the LGS today, and had never seen one in-person before. What's up with the charging handle so far forward?

    Mosin Rimlock?

    So I got a pack of stripper clips in the mail today and tried it out, loading them, inserting, cycling. The first 3 times I got what I can only imagine is "rimlock", and couldn't close the bolt on the first round. How can I avoid this?

    "Pre-ban" rifles on gunbroker

    I still see folding-stock mini-14's and ar's on gunbroker going for $400+ more than the going price with the phrase "pre-ban" attached to them. Did these people just not get the memo that the ban expired 7 years ago, or did some part of it not expire and I'm missing it?
