So, my local gun shop purchased a 'box o magazines' from a guy and have one magazine that they cannot figure out where it belongs! I was hoping some knowledgeable person here would have an idea. Unfortunately I didn't get a picture of it, though I know exactly what it looks like. Facts...

So here's the situation, I have ~$1000 coming in soon that I've decided to put aside for a 1911. At the moment I have a Rock Island GI 1911 that i have set up for my suppressor. My carry gun (I VERY rarely carry...) is a Taurus PT145 Pro which I like, but don't love. The Rock Island isn't...

This is a true story of a malfunctioning firearm causing a 'true' AD! I am still ND-less, so I'm hoping I stay that way. So, after having a great time at the opencarry.org Oregon BBQ today (thanks Cougfan2 for a great time!), I decided to go to Portland to open carry with two of the other...

http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/article767030.ece This one sounds like a dup, doesn't it? I say they should dig the ones we gave em last time outa the Atlantic.

Hi all, I know it has been quite a while since I checked in, but things have been busy lately. I just graduated from college in Boston about a month ago, and accepted a job in Hillsboro, OR (just outside of Portland). I ended up moving into eastern Hillsboro (Tannasbourne area, near 185th and...

Every once in a while, I like to read a 'fun' thread on here, one that is not entirely gun related, but still fun. This time, it is funny answers to the question we hear all the time, "What are you compensating for?" or, "You must be compensating for something *snicker*..." I'll start us...

Ok, I wrote an essay recently about the firearms in Hemingway's "A Farewell to Arms" and a whole bunch of mistakes made by the main character, and was wondering if anyone knows of an article that would have already analyzed this? My professor asked me to see if anyone else has made the...

Didn't know where this should go, General or here, so move it if the mods have better incite than me! Ok, so here is a thought that I came up with recently reading about all the missing/upside down flags being flown at schools. Since an Upside Down flag is THE distress signal, if you drove...

OK: Heres the question: which rifle made the biggest impact in its time? I would like to see it in 2 categories: Innovation: a rifle that was so new, and so revolutionary, that it changed rifles in general. Battle: a rifle that was so above and beyond, that it gave the user a huge advantage.

Hi all, quick holster question: My buddy just purchased a S&W 410, and has found a holster he really likes: http://www.highnoonholsters.com/Product_Line/Closing_Argument/closing_argument.html Unfortunately, its not made for the 410. DOes anyone have any idea if S&W uses the same frame...

You cannot use the "Ted Kennedy killed more people than my guns" joke.

Hey all, I am going to American Firearms School in North Attleboro MA today to shoot a full auto M16! This will be my first time shooting a full auto. I really wanted to shoot the Thompson instead, but the guys who I am going with want the M16, so... I also get to go visit my M1 again...

Hi, I just thought of something, the reason the US Gov needs to spend so much money trying to build new weapons is, COMMON citizens are not permitted to design/manufacture Autos/etc! Think of it this way, up until now, almost every rifle/handgun/etc was designed by either common citizens, or...

Hi all, quick story to you guys: A friend of mine (girlfriend of another friend of mine) did something stupid and mixed drugs with alcohol, and passed out in an alley near my school. I went over to help her, while EVERYONE else bolted, but whatever. A campus police officer (A MA Statie by...

OK, the gun confiscations are a perfect example of why governments should not be allowed to inflict gun control. Now that the NRA has taken steps to fight the actions in court, do you think that this could be THE definative SCOTUS case on gun rights? By the time the case gets to SCOTUS, we...

OK, I had an idea last night for a cool poster idea. Guy in green uniform with a "Smokey the bear" hat, holding a gun, as if he is handing it to the camera, and the text that says, "Only YOU can prevent Terrorism" What do you think?

OK, I was thinking about this the other night, and it really bothers me. I was told that telling someone how to convert a weapon from semi-automatic to automatic is illegal? I think this is VERY wrong! First, it is CLEARLY a Freedom of Speech/Education issue. Second, since when has...

Hey, I was watching TBS or USA, i forget which, and saw a commercial for the show "The 4400". Anyway, it starts out with a little girl, and a woman, seemingly helpless in a corner, the little girl is sobbing, and the woman is consoling her. The little girl says, "I'm scared", and the woman...

OK, I dont know how common this practice is, but in movies(heh, i know...), and at online stores, I see that they clip the magazines together, but one is upside down! Assuming that no rounds will fall out, etc, this doesnt seem like a natural action to reload. My Idea was this: clip 2...

OK, This has been bugging me for a while. According to the NFA, you have to pay a 200$ tax for any shotgun with a barrel of less than 18", and any rifle with a barrel shorter than 16.5". The question is: How does the 16" AR-15's get off? Am I mistaken on the law, or are the people paying...
