    Looking at a Beretta ARX160 .22. Your thoughts?

    Until today, I had no idea this gun existed. I've watched a couple reviews, read the Beretta website, etc. It appears that there's some confusion over whether or not it's actually made by Beretta. My main question is if it's possible to convert it to .223/5.56? Does it use the same lower as the...

    2nd Generation gun nuts in the making

    This summer, I took my girls out shooting for the first time. I loaded up 5 rounds in 10/22, and let them each take a turn (after going through the general rules of gun safety, of course). I think it's safe to say that they were hooked immediately. They ended up plinking 300 rounds that day. I...

    H&R 999 Sportsman cylinder not advancing

    The Lever & Spring assembly isn't advancing the cylinder. The lever is lifting when the hammer or trigger are worked, but it's just going up and down. It doesn't want to engage the star on the cylinder, or even go through the opening. I can push it through the opening without any resistance, but...

    Need recommendations for short-medium range whitetail gun scope

    I live in an area where deer hunters are limited to shotguns and pistols. The area I hunt the most is heavily wooded, 75 yard shots at most, usually 30-50 yards. Occasionally, I'll go to my buddy's place to help him fill a tag or two. Shots usually range from 75-125 yards, but as far as 200...

    Help me identify this saddle scope mount?

    I got this in a box of goodies. It doesn't fit my Mossberg 835, and I don't have any other shotguns to try it on. I'm not even sure of the brand. I've scoured Google for about an hour trying to find one similar to no avail. Hoping somebody here may recognize it. Thanks in advance for...

    Question regarding Curio & Relic license

    I'm trying to sell one of my pistols, and had a guy tell me that because he has a 'Collectors' license, he only pays $10 for FFL transfer. Is there some loophole I'm missing out on, or is this guy playing with fire? The pistol in question is a Taurus TCP, obviously not a C&R firearm.

    Review: Barsony holster for Taurus PT 738 TCP

    I received this holster as an early birthday present from my wife, and have been wearing it almost daily for 6 months now. I've been primarily using it for carry in the outdoors, where my pocket holster just isn't sufficient IMO. For the first week I only carried it around the house in order...

    Disturbing societal trend (Was I out of line?)

    I'm not sure which end of the horse I'm seeing here, but suffice it to say I don't like it anyway. I was cruising Armslist around my area and noticed a fellow posting a Kel-Tec .380 for sale/trade with 2 mags and about 350 rounds of ammo. His asking price was extreme at $500, but what really...

    Grant County Shooters Association, Elbow Lake MN near Alexandria / Fergus Falls

    Long time since I've posted here. Went thru a move recently. I used to frequent a free range in Staples MN at McGivern park. I'd had no luck finding a chunk of available public ground for shooting, so I decided to check out the local shooting club. Found this one about 12 miles north of Elbow...

    My pawn shop gem, CRKT 14K Summit Mt. Shasta

    Wasn't sure exactly what it was when I saw it in the display case, but when I saw the combo of $3.99 and "CRKT", I knew it was coming home with me. Imagine my surprise at learning I payed less than a tenth of it's retail value! :D I'm already loving it! It's going to be my new EDC. Now I'm...

    CRKT Grandpa's Favorite, any opinion on it?

    Got an email from NAHC Inside Track that this knife is available at 51% off retail for members. It looks like a really good blade, and I love the style, but I have no experience with this manufacturer. The specs say: Full-tang, fixed drop point skinner-style blade is 3.15 inches long. 12C27...

    National Reciprocity and Article IV, Section 1 of the Constitution.

    So I got an email from the NRA that H.R.822 is back in deliberation and all that other congressional nonsense that I doubt even God understands at this point. I decided to do a google search on the bill and see if I could find some sort of timeline for it, when I stumbled into a comment on the...

    Can't believe my level of ignorance (funny story)

    I've been enthusiastically building a list of firearms related facilities to visit on a road trip when I get the chance. I've been (as my fiance would say) more than enthusiastic about touring the DPMS facility which is an afternoons trip from my home. Imagine my excitement (and her impending...

    Thoughts on homebrew concealment shirt holster

    I'm thinking of taking a pocket holster and sewing it to a sturdy shirt under the left arm, like those 5.11 tactical shirts. I figure for the first go round, a good $5 Haynes/Fruit-of-the-loom shirt and a $5 pocket holster should suffice for testing. I'll probably pick up some extra material to...

    Taurus PT111 converted to PT145?

    Would it be possible to convert my PT111 to a PT145 by switching out the slide assembly and magazine? I've not seen a PT145 in person yet, but I was handling a mag for one at my local hardware store and it was physically identical to my PT111 mag except, of course, was for .45acp. Did they use...

    "Bulky" guy: Tips for carrying?

    I'm not sure how I'd exactly classify myself. I am overweight at 6'4" 315, though the doc sais I have a large frame and should only aim for about 270-275. I have the standard love handles, and have a dun-lap when I sit down (as in my belly dun-lapped over my belt). I'm trying to find a...

    My new-to-me, soon-to-be CCW: Taurus PT111

    Just picked it up last night on a whim. Stopped by the almost-local Gander Mountain to browse their case of firearms, specifically to see if they had any sweet deals on used firearms. When I saw this baby, I couldn't believe my eyes! Sticker: $199.00 :what: Admittedly, the thought that there was...

    Cutco Ka-Bar Explorer Review

    Let me start out by saying: I'm no professional. Information gathered from the internet is worth exactly what you payed for it. Your opinion will almost certainly vary. That said, here's what I think of this knife. I ordered this knife from my young cousin, who took a summer job as a rep for...

    Help with name of holster component

    What is the name for the button or clasp system used on this holster? I'd like to know what to google to find these parts on the net. I've checked my few local leather shops and nobody has any of these parts. Thanks for any help.

    American Made Blades

    Hoping for help to compile a list of American made knives, or find a link to a website that already has a list. Doesn't mean the manufacturers entire line has to be American made. If this has been done before, I missed it in my search. Looked as far back as 2008. Good ol' American manufacturing...
