    K31 - did I miss out?

    I have been wanting to order a k31 for a long time. I finally decided to order, and now I can't find any in stock. Gunbroker has a few, which is tempting. Even Simpsons seems to be sold out. I did order a Swiss 1911, which I wanted as well. Has anyone seen k31s anywhere? Thanks!

    Beretta Pico range report

    Took my brand new Pico to the range this weekend, right after I field stripped it and cleaned it. It wasn't too nasty, just a bit of oil in it. I took 3 boxes of self defense ammo (corbon high velocity, winchester train&defend (the defend type), and federal low recoil). I also had 3 boxes of...

    Garand or K31 next?

    Hi Everyone, Financials will not allow me to buy guns too often, but I have been craving these two for a long time. I am a bit worried the CMP will run out soon, but I do have the option to go pick one in person this summer (assuming they have any at the Ohio store at that point). I see some...

    Spotting scope advice needed

    My brother and I have recently joined a 300yd rifle range. Having mostly shot pistols we are unsure what kind of spotting scope would be best. A 16x rifle scope can see holes at 100yd but not really at 300. We're shooting a mix of calibers from .22 to .308 so far. Would something like this...

    Picked up a mossberg 500a, any tips on use?

    I'm ok with a double. Have not really used a pump. Are there any secrets that I may not know? Cleaning tips? thanks

    Need lots of help! 45colt/308 reloading setup from scratch.

    Hi everyone, I'm considering getting into reloading given the cost of 45 colt and 308s. $1/rd is just nuts. I'll probably add other calibers in the future, but for now I'd like to start with these two. Here is what I've got in my shopping cart so far. I'm 100% beginner at this. I sort of...

    Sexiest stainless 1911 under $1k?

    Yes, another 1911 thread. I'm looking at the Springfield Loaded. The kimber eclipse is very cool but a bit pricey for me. Any other suggestions? I want stainless-I just like silver guns I guess. I would rather stay under 1k or very close. Reliable is obviously a plus :)

    Got a gash above my eyebrow from my scope...what to tell co-workers?

    Goofed up and let the scope slam into my sunglasses (yes, protective) and my forehead. Got a nice gash right above my eyebrow. What can I tell my coworkers? I am in a new office and I don't want to tell them that I go shooting quite yet. No, I'm not embarrassed or anything, but it's a new office...

    My bolt handle and scope squish my thumb

    Got a rem 700 recently. Not my first bolt gun, but first with a scope. When I pull the bolt upwards it is really close to the scope, preventing me from getting any kind of a grip on it. Is that normal? Thanks!

    22lr tip-out revolver options?

    Hi everyone, I don't know revolvers too well, so excuse any ignorance here. I have a pair of rough riders, that's about as far as my experience goes beyond occasionally shooting a friend's 357. Anyway, my brother asked for advice. He wants a 22lr revolver. He recently shot a 6-shot S&W...

    Cheap doubles on CDNN...recommend one?

    I'm looking at shooting sporting clays, probably only a few times/year so I dont want to spend a ton. Some of the O/Us on CDNN look like good prices. I'd like a 12, but would consider a 20. There are a few 20s I didn't list here. I'm not worried about being the best, this is just for a few fun...

    Is the FNP45 USG worth the upgrade over the non-USG?

    This will be primarily a range gun. It looks to be at least $100 more from what I can find. This seems to be the difference: The only real differences between the regular FNP-45 and the FNP-USG (US Govt) is that the USG has the added serrations on the slide front, a SAFE position on the...

    Does anyone make a stainless SxS ?

    I'm migrating towards a stainless (or chrome) gun collection. Yes, it's a goofy requirement, but I like it. I'll give my milsurps a pass here, but the rest will all be silver before long. Anyway, does anyone make a stainless (or other silver color. nickel?) barrel/receiver SxS? I'd also...

    Help me pick an AR!

    I have a pretty low price range. This will be for occasional weekend shooting, but I do like semi-long-range shooting. I see both a DPMS Oracle in 5.56 or a S&W Model M&P15 Carbine. Either would be $699. The DPMS is local, available today (not a huge deal...Illinois WINTER). The S&W may take...
