    I have come to the dark side....(and a question)

    Ok, so, i recently learned that there was a Cabela's near where i live, about an hour away. A friend/coworker and i drive up there to check it out. it was totally awesome, but only got better when we got to the gun section (of course). after checking out some really nice used guns, i meandered...

    I bought my first rifle! (and an ammo question...)

    In a couple days i'll be picking up my first rifle i've bought, a russian SKS. i purchased it at what i thought was a slightly overpriced $445, but i didn't want to lose it waiting for cheaper ones (i waited a whole month for a cheaper yugo or something, but no luck). good looking dark laminated...

    Slugs out of a SxS...?

    i've got a nice Stoeger 20 gauge SxS (24" barrel, 3" chamber)... i was wondering if decent accuracy can be had with slugs from a SxS? i figure it would be fun to shoot slugs from it every now and again, but the double barrel would probably hinder the accuracy, no? Also, i seem to remember that...

    I'm 18... thinking about a rifle.

    hey! been quite a while since i've posted on this forum, and now that i'm 18 i'm considering my options for a first purchase. I already have a bolt action .22, and several other bolt-actions at my disposal, so don't suggest that. I know the importance of .22's and bolt actions for accuracy...

    Truck toolbox...

    Alright, folks, first, i DID do a search, but not much came up. lots of threads about BOB's, but not what I'm looking for. I've recently gotten my first truck, and I'm putting together a toolbox to put in the rear of the cab [it's an extended cab pickup]. what sort of tools and other items...

    first [squirrel] hunt

    Went with the old man for a few squirrel today. got there in the morning, walked around for a few hours. weather was nice and warm but too wet, i guess, so no squirrels showed - guess they were all hunkered down. saw two or three, but they were either too far away for the .410 or i couldn't get...

    got locked out of house, thoughts.

    so i came home the other day, dropped off by my grampa. he noticed no one was home and asked if i had a key. i said there was one hidden. he leaves, and then i find that there is no key. a few days after, i still don't know where it is [it is NOT in a place where a crook could find it, like a...

    Someone knocked at the door...

    So i was enjoying Tom Waits from my iPod upstairs, when i thought i heard a knock. i turned off the music, and looked out. parked in my driveway was a black SUV. i heard another knock, and i went down to investigate, not saying "be right there", as per usual. i opened the door to a... sharp...

    can anyone point me to those new hearing protectors...

    I forget the name, but IIRC, it's 3 letters and begins with a Z. It's kinda like an earplug, but works on the principle of taking the sound and reflecting it away from the ear, rather than sealing the ear to noise. IIRC, this design nocked off 26 decibels, and allowed regular conversation to...

    what was that little back up knife....

    It looks like the Hide Away Knife, but it has a solid handle at the same angle for a pistol-like draw. Kydex sheath, and probably a Zytel black plastic handle. anyone? ~tmm

    Slight Perp run-in...[long winded but you might find it interesting]

    Ok, background.: So my friend and i are in a graveyard taking some B&W photographs in a pretty good town. it's kind of a richie-rich town, so there is a decent amount of drug deals, i believe. it's approaching dark, and we're about to finish up since you can't take pictures in the dark...

    Heavy sleepers?

    I'm guessing atleast some of our fellow THR'ers are heavy sleepers like myself. Personally, it takes a while for me to go to sleep, and sometimes i wake often, but when i sleep, i really sleep. according to my parents i've slept though thunderstorms and the cats running through the house at...

    My carry options?

    Hey all. i got to thinking about this a while back, and i'm curious. my usual dress is a tucked in button up shirt and pants. i'm 6'2" and about #130, but i'll probably be bigger when i'm older. [i'm 16 now] i was thinking for a simple, day-to-day carry, IWB at 4 o'clock would be...

    ammunition capability question on a Stoeger

    Hey all. my grampa has just gotten a Stoeger Uplander 20g. SxS with 3" chambers. My grampa wasn't sure if we could use 2 3/4" and the gunstore guy wasn't sure either (but i'm not trusting gunshop knowledge). I'm damn near positive that it'll take 2 3/4. Grampa's reasoning is that it'll cause...

    Hey guys. i'm doing the aforementioned topic for a speech in English - i think i have to stay to this one website for information (facts.com), but anything that you may have to say about the topic i'd appreciate, perhaps i could stick it in somewhere. Thanks, ~tmm

    Need Audio clips of gunfire, etc

    Hey all - My friend and I are making a movie, and various firearm noises will be needed, since i don't have any at my disposal and my friend is a sheeple. Ideally, i'd like it to be of high quality recording so it dosn't sound bad in the film. i'd also like the decibel ratings (if possible) for...

    Good bags for a BOB?

    The title says it. i saw, on a different forum, someone mention Duluth Bags for somthing or other, and it got me to thinking. most of the stuff on Duluth Bags are rather pricey (get what you pay for, but sometimes it just can't be afforded) and i don't know about the inside - they were somewhat...

    question about hk-91 style rifles

    this relates to the PTR-91, G3, CETME, etc... i was wondering - why exactly are they incapable of last-shot-hold-open? is it the way they're built that makes it simple impossible for last-shot-hold-open to be possible? additionally, do you know WHY they were made this way? i'd much rather use...

    smart to use carry gun as competition gun?

    Just curious...would you/do you use the same one to break it in and make sure it won't fail? use a copy and only use your carry for occasional range tests? use a different one (name/model) alltogether? ~TMM
