Saw a discussion about grease brands in the handguns section, but I am curious about the wisdom of grease in general. I started using grease on a CZ I had when I read that is what they need, but since then I've pretty much used it to lubricate everything that slides. Handgun rails, Ar-15 bolt...

I did a thing, I bought my first ccw pistol. I have a bunch of experience shooting full size pistols and saw one for sale locally for a great price. I had been considering the shield and the g43 and was able to shoot both, but I really liked the feel and size of the Kahr better. Was most likely...

I'm seeing a 1909 one for sale in my area. It's in pretty rough shape on the outside so I was thinking of turning it into a trench gun - replica. I see the heatshield/bayonet lug available some places. What's the strength on these? I'm not concerned about firing magnum loads but I wouldn't...

Wondering if this is a good deal or not. Saw a paratrooper style FAL at a shop. This shop is usually known for being overpriced but this was an Pacific Armament Corp. marked imbel receiver gun for $830. I'd like to know more about what to look for if I go back, for example I couldn't see...

Trying to get into action pistol. Since I found out my hi-power isn't allowed in production or single-stack divisions, I now have an excuse to look at new handguns. A fellow at the gun store was showing me the performance center M&P and I really liked it. He claimed that all I would have to do...

Broke my Colt Commando (11.5") out of jail last night when I got my engraved lower back. This one is just a semi-auto build but it is my first stamp so I'm pretty excited! Right now it is in basic "Heat" configuration, but I'm thinking of what to do with it next, either a Black-hawk down type...

Came across a 1951 for sale locally. I know these are highly regarded and I like that they could shoot .22 shorts - lr. Somewhere I read that at one point the bolt was upgraded to handle the faster .22lr but I'm not sure when this happened or how important it is. Also how easy is it to add peep...

Had a chance to shoot and examine one yesterday, it was my sister's first gun. She chose it because it was a nice size and was easy to manipulate. I would have to agree and add that I was pretty impressed with the little gun. This was the stainless slide model. Things I liked: Easy...

Just excited to say I got my approved form 1 for an sbr back, 4 months to the day. I've been running into some funny issues. Initially my form was approved but had the word "DRAFT" watermarked across the pdf. After some research I discovered this was a mistake that happens occasionally. So I...

Just discovered on a trip a shopping mall in Canada with a gun store and range (West Edmonton Mall). Has anyone else been to an unusua range or maybe store where you least expected it?

This seems to be one of those myths/facts along the same vein as the dry firing debate, but I don't hear much about it and I'm not sure what the consensus is on it. I'm wondering whether repeated releasing of the slide or bolt of a rifle without any ammo/snap cap will hurt the gun. Specifically...

I'm starting to see articles like the one below that are using the recently released CDC report to show that the 10 states with the most firearm deaths also have lax gun laws. Obviously using whether states require "permits" to buy handguns is a dumb measure of determining the nature of a states...

My google- fu isn't working. I'm researching for my possible first NFA item and am trying to determine how I might set up a trust, or whether I may just want to register as an individual. In my current situation I reside with some people I don't necessarily want to give legal power over the...

A colt 733 parts kit came across my local gun trading pages and its got me very intrigued, especially because I think it is a good price. I want to double check my understanding for the process, because if I went this route it would be kind of backwards (acquiring upper first, lower later)...

Going to my first 3 gun type event in a month. It's the Outbreak shootout so way over my head but my goal isn't to really compete, just run the course and have fun. I was wondering if anyone has some specific videos or material that describes the prescribed way of drawing a handgun. Also...

...is a train wreck and should really not be in charge of regulating our natural rights. http://www.thisamericanlife.org/radio-archives/episode/540/a-front I don't know how many of you are NPR consumers, but I came across this and thought I would share. The first 20min of this podcast...

Just wanted to share the status of my liberty rifle that I want to take to an appleseed shoot. Now I've got a sling system, and the some appropriate sights. I went with the Williams sight designed for .22/airgun rails and was delighted to find that it fit with no modification, lucky me! The...

http://www.tampabay.com/news/publicsafety/neighborhood-city-wait-for-make-shift-gun-range-builders-next-move/2216240 First heard about this on the local talk radio station and found this article to back it up. A 21 year old self proclaimed libertarian builds a range in his backyard. Seems...

Been seeing a lot about the new ARAK21 from faxton armory, and one of their big selling points is the attached, long stroke piston which is much closer to the original AK design then many of the other piston ARs. I find this odd considering the trend after the AK and Garand has been to short...
