    Might there be a Consensus FA Advocacy Group Here?

    Need a New EDC Pocketknife

    Greetings all, I am seeking a replacement pocket knife for the Buck Redpoint 750 that I've carried the past 5-or-so years. What I LIKE about this knife is: 1. Rubbery Grip 2. Double-locking (Locks open AND closed - I really almost "need" this) 3. Partially Serrated Edge (love having that...

    Kel Tec PF9 Experience(s)?

    Greetings, Anyone here have any first-hand knowledge / experience (good or bad) with one of these, please? I understand they are a very small (''Pocket") 9mm with somewhat excessive recoil, very tight "clearance" (pinch) between trigger and guard, and not at all a range favorite -- I'm far...

    "Ratings" and/or Reviews of Multiple Brands of AMMO?

    Greetings: Anyone aware of any professional, INDEPENDENT "ratings" of ammo brands, please? I am guessing (purely speculating), but I would suspect the top three "SELLERS" are (?) Remington, Federal, and Winchester (maybe in that order - perhaps not), but I would LOVE to hear/read-see...

    No Choice Now but to Come-Over to A Wheel-Gun

    Is this it, with the Hogue® Tamer™ grip ? http://www.ruger.com/products/lcr/models.html I do really want .357... and love the idea of the bibbed-hammer...but was also thinking stainless, or some such... Seems to get a bit confusing with all the "numbers" (model numbers)...between all the...

    No Choice Now but to Come-Over to A Wheel-Gun

    I forgot to add: The main reason I'm thinking ".38" rather than .357 is I would MUCH prefer Stainless Steel (or SOME sort of low-maintenance piece, something other than BLUE). I figured the money I'd save picking a .38 over a .357 would assure me of getting the stainless. Frankly, I WOULD...

    "Cerflon", and other Lubricants...

    Has anyone heard of this stuff (Cerflon "ingredient"), in any common firearms oils/lubricants, please? I noticed it somewhere (in a product online) recently, and I recalled that it is in a couple of different types of "Liquid Wrench" products that I have (both of which mention being good as...

    4140 vs. Stainless Steel

    Is this (found on the web) True, please? "Firearms This steel is used by some firearm manufacturers for revolver frames, barrels, actions and pistol frames. Gun barrels made of 4140 steel wear longer than those made of stainless steel. When oil quenched and tempered, 4140 steel becomes even...

    Oil(s): What's IN it/them? What's "Acceptable"?

    Very interesting info...thank you for your reply. So, if I "hear" you correctly, you're saying that a clean, soft rag, "soaked" in (saturated with) clean fresh motor oil (especially a high-quality SYNTH) would not be bad to wipe-down the exterior of a pistol, revolver, shotgun or rifle, (any...

    Oil(s): What's IN it/them? What's "Acceptable"?

    Ladies and gents ... I've been thinkin' ("uh-oh", they collectively sigh...)... I saw a link in a thread - either here or another F/A Forum, RE: Cleaners/Lubricants etc., for our babies. Now, as mentioned...I got to thinking; "just exactly WHAT is "IN" these gun oils (or what "roughly" for...
