I recently heard something about a "long action rifle with a short action cartridge." Anyways, I was pretty well left in the dark. Would you guys mind learning me on what a "short action" and "long action" rifle/cartridge means?

Does anyone know what barrel length would yield maximum velocity with a 9mm? Obviously, this would depend on the bullet and powder used, but perhaps a ballpark range? For instance, what barrel length maximizes velocity out of WWB? 147gr SXTs? I understand the 9mm isn't helped much by longer...

I'm in Klamath Falls until I ship (going Active from the National Guard), and was wondering if you THR folk in the area would like to get together and lose some ammo? I'm also interested in finding places to shoot (indoor or outdoor, rifle or pistol). Anyone know of good places?

So now I've got a NEW TOY!!! [:D] (big version) (big version)

Iraqi PM to Extend Arms-for-Cash

This is mainly a question for your Oregonians, but I suppose anybody can answer if they want. Okay guys, I have a question for ya ... Let's say, hypothetically, that I can get a Mk19 (fully automatic 40mm belt-fed grenade launcher) from the National Guard to play around with for a weekend...

Okay, I saw this post linked over at ar15.com, and it got me thinking ... Now, I'm no Legal Eagle, but IF the information in the post is correct (especially points 2 and 3) ... does that mean that nobody can appeal the 9th District's ruling that the '86 registration ban is unconstitutional...

I was trying to find figures for gun deaths and injuries compared to other causes of death like drowning or motor vehicle accidents. I came across these three very valuable forms from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention National Center for Injury Prevention and Control...

I've got a question about holsters. I like the look of the Milt Sparks Versa Max 2 (actually, I like the Watch Six a lot more, but it can't use the tuckable kydex clips :( ) holster: Unfortunately, they put the clips a little low on the gun, so it rides kinda high. Does anyone know if...

Okay, this seems like a no-brainer. Everybody knows the Bill of Rights doesn't grant rights, it simply enumerates and offers to protect them. Our Declaration of Independence states that people "are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights." This is generally believed to be the...

Well, my D-model spacer came in the mail today; so now my Beretta 92FS can (and is) carried Cocked and Locked. :D

I had an IM conversation with a friend of mine, who happens to be a gun-rights fence-sitter. He's got the uneducated (in this issue) position of "if they got passed, then they have to be reasonable gun laws." In particular, we were talking about the 86 MG ban and the 34 NFA. I'm not...

So I was thinking ... the 92FS is a pretty safe firearm, and I was considering moving to a cocked-and-unlocked carrying posture. Is a 92FS really any less safe than a Glock when carried this way? I wouldn't think so, but figured I'd ask around a little first, to see if people have some good intel.

I'm looking for shooters in or around Missoula, Montana. A good friend of mine just moved there for grad school, and I figure I'd like to hook him up with some shooters. He's a rather outdoorsy fellow, likes historical guns, knives, and bayonets. I think he'd fit right in. Any of you...

I'm looking to get a reasonably reliable (ie: no Jennings, etc) .22LR handgun (doesn't matter if semi-auto or revolver. probably prefer revolver, really) for use in pest-control. I recently finished an ordeal with a few stray cats, and figured that in the future some silent Colibri .22LR...

so, now that it's mid-May, has anyone gotten their grubby little hands on one? if so, how does it shoot? do you like it? pictures?

a friend of mine decided to pick me up some ammo for my AR (to cover what he and his friends might shoot) for when we go out after our finals are over. I failed to mention "stay away from wolf" (because I forgot he was picking me up some). so the question is ... how do I let him know I'd...

this is a pretty good article. it's obscenely long, but it's definately a must-read. the URL is http://www.techcentralstation.com/1051/defense wrapper.jsp?PID=1051-350&CID=1051-031103A (the space is to maintain the formatting of the forum, so a long URL doesn't take the thread off the screen)...

This thread is inspired by one on another site (this one). I loved the joke so much, I thought "let's post another thread for everyone to post jokes in!" so, here's the inspiring joke: "what has four legs and an arm?" "a happy pit bull" here are a couple (geeky) ones I love: "why do...
