Quick question- I need two forms of ID to buy a firearm in Virginia (correct me if I'm wrong). Does an expired CCW permit count? It expired last year and I haven't got around to renew it. I know I should renew it...I'm just so busy. But in the meantime, if I wanted to buy a gun, can I use the...

Just a few hours ago I was in a certain large nationwide sporting goods store in a location I will not disclose. Well hell, I will disclose it if you really want to know. But anyway, I overhear a customer having a conversation with an employee. He's ranting about how bad the prices are, and how...

In the back of my mind I want to buy a Finnish Mosin-Nagant, and during my research I heard about http://gunsnammo.com/ This company says they can ship a Finnish Nagant to your door and all you have to provide is a valid driver's license. Now hold on. I was under the impression that it...

I have a Remington SPS in .223, detailed here: http://www.remington.com/products/firearms/centerfire_rifles/model_700/model_700_SPS.asp Which replacements stocks will fit my rifle? I'm thinking of starting a project of finding an old scratched up walnut stock and refinishing it and putting...

Has anyone heard about this? This is third or fourth hand knowledge, so take it with a grain of salt. I am only posting this to see if anyone else has heard of this incident. SO: I have been told the following story from my dad, only a few hours ago. My father's coworker visited the Bass...

Everyone likes threads like these (I hope). The old "I don't agree with the consensus and I want to be heard" threads. This is one of them. Well, I don't like Hoppes #9. Yeah this is shocking. I should be on Entertainment Tonight for having this opinion. Well there's two reasons why I feel...

A few days ago I ordered a Lee bullet mold from midwayusa. I haven't gotten it yet but it has shipped, according to their website. So tonight, I am literally talking 15 minutes ago, I was organizing my shooting stuff. And guess what I found. I ALREADY ORDERED THIS DAMN THING AND...

This is my logic: The iron sights on most firearms sold today are awful. They are really just pathetic. Most of them are plastic and, if you're lucky, they require adjustment by screwdriver. My ideal iron sight is 100% steel and adjustable by hand. How many firearms manufacturers can claim...

Pedersoli, Uberti, IAB, Armi Sport, probably some others. Is it a loophole in Italian law? Something to do with Sergio Leone? Not that I'm complaining, I've owned Pedersoli and Uberti in the past and they were superbly crafted and very shootable. Just curious!

I honestly thought I could figure this out on my own but I'm having trouble researching this. There's so many S&W models and some of them even look identical to eachother...so that's confusing too. So I'll just ask: does anyone happen to know the lightest s&w that chambers either .38/357 or...

I've been shooting for a number of years and I can say I'm neither afraid of recoil nor a recoil junkie. I'm not enthusiastic about it but I won't back down from it, in other words. But that got me thinking. Heavy recoil is scary. Everyone flinches, and no one would want to shoot a .600 Nitro...

I wasn't sure which forum to post this in, because it could go in either this one or the BP forum. But I get the feeling that the BP forum is really for muzzle loaders, and this thread concerns cartridges. I was wondering if anyone could help me with choosing a cartridge. I need something...

I don't really know anything about progressive presses. I'd like to hear from some people who use them. I've always loaded on a Lee turret press, and I handled primers, powder and bullets manually. Do progressive presses really do all that stuff for you with just a throw of the lever, because...

Just a quick question. I've never bought a non-muzzleloading gun off the internet and I am thinking about doing so soon. But i'm not really sure how FFL transfers work, exactly. I found (via gunbroker.com) a gun store that will do a transfer for $15 plus tax, and this is the best price in my...

Do you mill your ingredients separately and then combine them, or combine them before milling?

I own only a smoothbore and a revolver, so I don't know much at all about rifle bullets. I am trying to sort it all out in my head but it's a little confusing. I know that roundballs just load with a patch, and I know that Minie-type bullets load without a patch and rely on the 'skirt' to expand...

Just a fun (well, to me) do-it-yourself project involving black powder: I ordered a powder flask from Track of the Wolf, and their website implied that the flask came with a 60 grain spout, which happened to be what I needed for shooting shot out of my 28 gauge smoothbore. However, when the...

As I understand it, hazmat fees apply to all sorts of things- primers and smokeless powder, for example. And yet, gun stores carry primers and smokeless powder. So the hazmat fee can't be the reason that stores don't stock real BP. So what is the reason?

I was at the gun show today in Richmond, VA and I went to a table that had a bunch of ARs and stuff like that. They also had one of those FN-2000 rifles which I have seen but never touched, so I picked it up. The dealer guy comes over and starts a conversation. This is the entire conversation...

What is the best source for ordering (and shipping to a FFL) a stripped lower? My first instinct is to go with Midway, because I've alway used it, and they have some. But is this the best source? I don't want to go the auction route (so gunbroker is out). Thanks for your help
