    Cabelas Prices

    Losing the Bargain Cave almost killed it for me. The only saving grace they have is price matching local brink and mortar stores as well as a some online stores. They priced matched Midway USA's sales price on my last gun purchase.

    Wanting to buy an AR as a gift and was told it was a straw purchase?!?

    Thanks for all the replies. I've never done this type of transaction before, and my understanding (up until now) is that the person taking possession is the one filling out the paperwork. I was unaware that the buyer had to fill out a 4473 even if he had no intention of possessing it. That...

    Wanting to buy an AR as a gift and was told it was a straw purchase?!?

    I'm in NC and want to buy my adult nephew a graduation present. He lives in the Salt Lake area, so I called the most popular LGS there and explained to them what I wanted to do: Pay for the weapon and have my nephew come by so they can run the paperwork on him before he takes possession. I was...

    Hornady 300 Blackout Die Problem (maybe)

    I just did some more testing. This time I used the Lee Turret press: Size the case Check the case Turn the die down 1/16 turn Recheck the case.... It finally worked! I'm surprised such small increments would mean the difference between an in spec versus out of spec case. I suppose the rules...

    Hornady 300 Blackout Die Problem (maybe)

    I just checked for flex with the case in the die. In fact, I just tried it on both the L-N-L and a Lee turret press. The Lee has more flex, but the Hornady's was minimal. I'm going to give Hornady a call.

    Hornady 300 Blackout Die Problem (maybe)

    This is my first time reloading for 300 Blackout but not my time reloading. I'm using Hornady's New Dimension Custom Grade dies in a L-N-L progressive to convert .223 cases. The problem I'm having that a newly sized case will fall right in to case gauge, but it stops short of seating flush...

    Mag tactical systems

    I read a little about them last night. The receiver is a magnesium alloy. The hammer pin is non standard. Because it's magnesium, the coating is vital to prevent corrosion. These are some of the comments that stuck out when I was doing my research.

    ge capitol cuts off loans to gun shops

    Red lining applies to protected classes. As mentioned earlier, gun owners are not a protected class. If it can be proven that the majority of legal gun buyers are black, women, American Indian, Hispanic, elderly, or any other protected class as defined by or government, then there could be a...

    FOID Idea (Naive Perhaps)

    Someone mentioned in another thread that gun ownership should be like your citizenship: once renounced, you're back to square one in getting it again. This has gotten me thinking. What if there's a national FOID issued along with your passport, nationalization papers, or birth certificate? Think...

    MSNBC resurrects 20-year-old firearm study

    Just to add some insight as to why it was debunked... The study didn't take into account outside factors like gun owners knowing they will likely be involved in a shooting. For example, if you keep a gun in the home because you live next to a crack house, your chances of being a homicide...

    NRA Press Conference

    I might be a little late bring this up, but I didn't get a chance to see the NRA press conference until now. Was it just me, or did you guys think the NRA totally messed up when they blamed the media and video games on gun violence? Personally, I think they should have focused on their...

    Powder scale headache...

    I had a Lee scale that came with a kit and also bought an RCBS scale later. Both scales at one time or another did what the OP had described. What fixed it for me was 1) making sure the scale was on a level surface, and 2) removing any dust or dirt that may have settled in the area where the...

    10/22 Scope Mount Advice

    I hadn't considered running out of elevation. Thanks for the tip! I'm going to orderr a set of both low and medium rings just to be safe. I also read the stock rail base that comes with the 10/22 is somehow inferior to aftermarket ones Is there any truth to that?

    10/22 Scope Mount Advice

    Ugh... I just realized that 1) my scope is too long and won't let the stock fit in the bag if when attached and 2) low rings maybe too low and will interfere with taking apart the rifle. I think I might actually need some QD rings.

    10/22 Scope Mount Advice

    I'm picking up my first 10/22 tomorrow and have a Nikon 3x9x40 I plan on using with it. My question is: What's more appropriate for 100 target and plinking: low or medium height mounts?
