    m110 howitzer 8 inch gun be in the right spot off the muzzle break and the compression wave will blow out a windshield. but when you are tired enough you will sleep like a baby next to one during a fire mission.

    Firearms transfer question

    me i would blow it off. the nics check is no big deal and only a phone call. i can understand a shop being a little careful these days. wait till you have a shop tell you are trying to do a straw buy on a c&r with 2 c&r holders. you would be sirprised the amount of shops that will not recognize...

    Fun Guns for Under $450

    a mac of any flavor is a fun range gun if you don't mind a brick with sights that has no real good way to hang on to. i have a semi auto mac m10 in 45 acp and yes the grin is hard to wipe off. the sterling semi auto pistol in 7.62x25 looks tempting also. large capacity smg based pistols can be...

    Pink gun finish.

    my vote in the non traditional colors is dura coat http://www.lauerweaponry.com/item-detail-colorchoice.cfm?category=220&colorchoice=dcr_66.jpg&colortype=stock done 2 pink ARs with duracoat pink lady. and yes if you want a nice pink instead of a dirty pink you do need to use the white under coat.

    M4 Bam...bam instead of bam only

    sounds like sear slippage and hammer follow though. check the trigger pin and also check the sear/hammer mating surface. as it is a brand new gun get a hold of the of the retailer/manufacture.

    What to do when a rifle sale goes bad?

    just a side note on the ffl. i have dealt with an ffl who would not open a box. he would just put it on the side and wait for you to show up and let you open the box and let you do the inspection. now is this 11 days after you shipped it or 11 days after the ffl received it or 11 days after he...

    Muzzle Energy and Terminal Ballistics, .357 & .30 Carbine

    when you compare the 30 carbine to it's true contemporaries, IMHO, the subguns rather then rifles or pistols. the 30 carbine round is a potent round but like the 7.62x25 it suffers from a problem with over penetration with a FMJ bullet. with a good soft point bullet it is much better. remember...
