First off, this is an open ended question that I know will have varied answers based on region, but this has been growing on my mind lately. For starters, I live in Fort Wayne, IN, have an IN license to carry, and open carry a 1911 in a holster with a thumb-break. Over the last few months...

Surfing the ole interwebs one night and came across this: http://soldiersystems.net/2013/11/11/hcar-bar-21st-century/ They started with M1918A3 BAR parts, changed it to closed bolt, added a 30 round magazine, new trigger & stock, cut 8 pounds out of it, and added a suppressor. Looks...

I recently bought a brand new Remington 1911 R1. Its a great no frills gun. I field stripped it before firing and Remington did a great job on packaging it. All it takes to disassemble it is to turn the barrel bushing, remove the spring plug and the rest is cake. Getting it back together is...

No, I'm not suggesting it is unconstitutional. However; I did receive an email from one of my congresscritters and he did bring the point up: US Rep Visclosky from IN I find it hard to believe that the 1994 AWB was never challenged for its constitutionality in court, but I went ahead and...

*MOD NOTE* I have posted this thread both here & in the Hunting forum as well. Please modify the threads as you see fit. Now, onto the post. Being a member of the NWTF, I am more concerned with conservation and preserving our hunting heritage for future generations. However; recent...

I am a current NWTF member and received this in my email about half an hour ago: Given how H&H Hunter and others on this and other forums like to point out that hunters outspend any other group when it comes to the outdoors, I wonder how long it will be until the NWTF, RMEF, Pheasants...

Why do you have to submit fingerprints for a CCW permit? Furthermore, what legal grounds do local, state, & federal agencies have for requiring biometric data for a permit? They already have my SSN, DLN, DOB, Address, Age, Weight, Hair/Eye Color. So what purpose do fingerprints actually...

http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=274554365 Apparently the British selected the most accurate factory rifles and sent them to Holland & Holland for conversion into sniper rifles. I didn't think that the high end rifle manufactures did much during WWII, but apparently H&H...

Look what a google search for tactical uses of the 338 Win Mag yielded: http://www.tactical-life.com/online/guns-and-weapons/armalite-ar-10t-338-federal/ Arma-Lite is now making an AR-10 chambered in 338 Federal.

Seeing as how Browning has reintroduced the A5 (yes I know its not the same) and several rifle manufacturers are bringing back older calibers & actions, it got me thinking that maybe Winchester might bring back the 1897. For me at least, its the standard to which all other pump guns are held...

*MODS* I'm not 100% sure if this belongs in General Gun Discussion or here, so move if needed. I was supposed to meet a local state representative this morning for coffee and construction talk. He ended up falling ill this morning and not making it and due to the wonders of technology, I...

Source: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/45236688/ns/world_news-world_environment/#.TsGf4HJm3Tp When will the day come that poaching is hated with the same fervor that hunting is? I find it sad that poachers will hunt a species off the planet and we are left to bear the blame & burden of their...

I've been researching gun safes here and elsewhere and I've seen several comments that have given me pause. Quite a few people have made a statement along the lines of "I don't need to worry about how heavy the safe is, I'm going to put it in the garage/basement. The problem is, the concrete...

I read this article on Chuckhawks, and as far as theory crafting goes, it was really neat: http://www.chuckhawks.com/12_rifle_cartridges.htm 1. .22 Long Rifle 2. .223 Remington 3. .243 Winchester 4. .260 Rem. or 6.5x55 SE 5. .270 Winchester 6. 7mm Remington Magnum 7. .30-30 Winchester 8. .308...

I know we rail on the show most of the time here. However; we do have at our disposal history of some of the most legendary projectile exchanges known to man. That said what changes, both in format & shots would you like to see? For me: Format I like the teams competing against each...

If this is not proper for THR, mods please delete. I know that some of us have at some point seen or heard someone, myself included, say that they'd like to see a gun from the video games become reality. Since we could all pick a gun that is nowhere near real, from say Gears of War, for real...

I'll admit, I'm a Sharps lover (and who in their right mind isn't). I've been looking at, researching, and weighing the pro's and con's of various Sharps for about a year now and I keep noticing how many people make a Sharps, but how few do it with quality. It seems to me that if you want a...

I've been reading through the Nosler & Barnes Reloading guides and found that they have some great loads for Marlin/Replica Sharps guns that get a 300gr round going 2200+ fps. Great for deer and paper punching at all ranges. But I started looking for some more powerful loads for bigger game...

I'm going to be moving out of my parents house soon into a place of my own and am realizing that under the bed is no longer a safe place for my firearms. I started out looking for a safe and soon realized that most "safes" out there are only RSC's. Since I'm just starting to look for one, I...
