No, I'm not asking how to do it! In the news, it's been stated that the San Bernadino terrorists had attempted to modify a S&W M&P 15 to fire full auto. Lost somewhere in the back recesses of my brain, I thought there was an ATF regulation something like this: If a firearm could be...

Has anyone purchased anything at all from Bagmaster recently? I would like to replace something I've worn out, but their website is just a place holder, and their phone number goes to fast busy.

I have a Colt Gold Cup National Match Series 80 that I bought new back in 1990. I used this in the league shooting at ProShots Range here in Winston Salem. Last night I had a malfunction I've never encountered before. We shoot 5 shot strings, so I had 5 rounds in a Wilson Combat mag...

A friend has 150yds or so cleared out on his acreage, and has given me permission to shoot there (he & his son cleared this spot specifically for shooting.) As a contribution to him, I wanted to provide some fun reactive targets. I'm trying to source some steel plate locally, but in the...

June 13, about 6pm (maybe a little earlier) SWMBO & I are in her car northbound at Silas Creek Parkway & Fairlawn (Winston Salem, NC, just nortwest of Wake Forest University). We're waiting for the light to turn left onto Fairlawn. In the left hand of the two straight lanes, a couple of cars...

Mods, I'll take no offense if you lock or move this if it is not the appropriate place. I'm moving to the Winston Salem, NC area next month, and was wondering about various ranges, both pistol and rifle. Looking this stuff up is on my list of things I gotta do, but selling, moving and buying...

They're testing the basic bullets in the air myth. They're going to try to determine if a bullet, falling vertically at terminal velocity, can kill. I'll write comments as the show broadcasts. They determined that a 9mm FMJ bullet falls at about 100mph (but it was tumbling) A .30-06...

I just got a couple of Aggressive Engineering (IIRC) two round clips and one of their S.L.E.D.s for my Garand. I was trying out the SLED last night, and I just can't get it to operate the way I understand the instructions say it should. The SLED goes into the magazine fine, but when I...

Many eons ago, I remember reading in rec.guns a homemade copper removal system, very much like Outers Foul Out system. It was much cheaper, and just as effective. Anyone seen anything like this? I did try searching, but didn't get it narrowed down enough to find anything here.

The budget for firearms in my household is pretty limited for a number of reasons, but I'd brought up the idea of getting a Garand with SWMBO. Cash flow issues meant that it wasn't possible then. I really want an M-1, as my dad would have at least trained with one when he was in the USMC...

I'm trying to find out some information on the nominal/normal accuracy of the AK clones. This terrible article was in the Pittsburgh papers, and I'm trying to get some factual information to pass on. So, pointers to information about the AK would be most greatfully received. How many MOA...

I've got a Colt Gold Cup that I bought in the late 80s. Last time I took it out to the range I noticed problems with failure to slide lock, but didn't have my reading glasses on (can't see bupkis closer than 3 feet without them) and couldn't tell why. The 'why' was a broken slide stop. I...

I think this might be the appropriate forum, but if not, I won't be insulted if the moderators move it. I want to find out just what a .50 BMG can penetrate. The Brady Campaign has a press release that claims that .50 BMG can penetrate a nuclear reactor. Given that the containment vessel...

Got this from the 'anti-anti-gun-lobby' group on yahoogroups. The list owner wrote: The Fox News Channel is producing a one-hour program on guns. We are searching for a female gun-owner who used the gun to defend herself and is willing to share her story. Interested individuals should...

Over the weekend, someone posted a link with reports of what's working and what's not, over in Iraq (equipment, that is) Sadly, the idiot behind my keyboard can't come up with search term that finds it, can't remember the forum it was in ('cept it was here on THR ... I think) nor the title...

Someone I know made the statement that .308 Winchester and 7.62 NATO are different. He said that .308 Winchester is 7.62mmx51mm, and 7.62 NATO is 7.62x54mm. (and .30-06 is 7.62mmx63mm) over an IM channel (and this guy is terse and cryptic when he types) he then wrote "ALL THREE ARE...

Hoping you'll forgive a rifle newbie, I'm trying to find out how rapidly a moderately skilled rifleman could fire a bolt action rifle, putting the rounds on target. I'm guessing, from reading Cooper's Commentaries, that the action may have something to do with it. How's the Steyr Scout...

( I think this is the appropriate forum ...) Here in central NC, the county sheriffs administer the Concealed Handgun Permit system. There is a lot of variance from county to county that should be challenged, IMO, but that would be for another post. I had to re-obtain my CHP (the idiot...

Somewhere on the net, I've seen, but failed to book mark, a comparison of the two shotguns in the subject. This review listed about 7 items he did not like with the Remington. Two that I can remember are that the Remington shell lifter is down when the chamber is closed (making a pinch...

I picked up a Mossberg 500 Persuader this evening. Went to load it up, but the magazine would only take four rounds? It's very definitely as Persuader, 20" barrel, magazine tube extends to the end of the barrel. Did I miss something obvious? (I mean, other than not making sure that the...
