    All around rifle...PEASE HELP

    You're leaving it WAAAY too wide open! :eek: We can talk you into almost anything, but we have got to know what you might intend to use your rifle for. .308 IS a wonderful, multi-use caliber. The AR platform is a great one to build on, but maybe not so useful in 5.56 if any of your...

    What is the draw to the Mosin/K98/Mauser style Milsurp Rifles?

    Well...first...they's cheap. Not necessarily "quality" cheap, but still...cheap. You can get a "Mosin" (long or short) for $100, give or take. A "Mauser" for slightly more. Depending, you can find one that fires a reasonably common round. I believe all the Mosins are 7.62x54R, which...

    Gun safe interiors - where to buy?

    Just moved into a new house and the "to-do" list is long - figured if I could buy the needed item, it might be faster to order. :o The home project won't be that difficult, but as much as safe makers trumpet their "modularity," I'm sort of surprised that the inserts are an elusive item.

    Gun safe interiors - where to buy?

    I just picked up a used (very slightly) Sentry 11/22 gun safe. It's a good size for my current needs, but I have a problem. The previous owner used it for a single handgun :confused: and paperwork. Thus, he purchased the "shelves and paperwork" interior configuration. Is there anyplace...

    A Gay Liberal Guy Explores Ohio Gun Culture

    That's actually a really good read. Thanks for posting it!

    ccw and wifey

    Huh. Well, it seems she "lets" you carry except when y'all are out together. So can we assume she's not totally/irrationally opposed to the very fact that firearms exist and you have one? This means all is not lost. There are questions you should try to ask, and listen to the answers...

    cool shooting glasses

    I've got the Oakley set (thank you, US Army!), but Wiley X also makes some wrap-arounds that are, I hear, excellent and a little cheaper.

    ND + Assault at Tampa Area Range

    I used to shoot at this range (Knight's) occasionally. I was a bit surprised to see this - the staff struck me as a little brighter than this.

    Purchased Kimber Warrior

    Love mine. I'm somewhere just past 2,000 rounds, and it's been a peach.

    I think I might be in deep water…. Need advice.

    Any man who trips your internal "possible felon" alarm is NOT even a good way to kill a long weekend. Much less a good relationship prospect. Much much less someone for whom you want to buy a firearm. I suggest the speedy exit so many others have hinted at. I also suggest, since he's...

    What is your age?

    28. I was older for a while, but now I think I'm regressing. And I like it.

    No gun for Hillary

    I thought it was an interesting question. I'd like to have heard some of them expand on it.

    NRA pushy recruiting and fundraising

    My personal final straw came a few years ago when they started sending me themed coins and videos with the demand I pay for them. I was moving away from my gun club (which required membership for insurance purposes) at the time. I opted to leave the organization. I'll probably re-join...

    No.

    My friend, it is all about mindset. I am a veteran. If I find myself in a college setting, I will stack human feces against the door, because I am not going down like that. I will use a pen, a chair, a stick, I am not going down like that. Sm - all we need to do is to get more...

    Articles & Blogs: VA Tech Shooting

    I grumble. http://baddogsandsuch.blogspot.com/2007/04/last-word.html Mostly, I just weep for all involved. The victims, their families, and those who could have perhaps saved some lives - but for a section in the student handbook.

    VT shooting, now the world will be calling magazines "clips"

    You know, that thought occurred to me, "now the guys on the boards will be hysterical about that stupid it's-not-a-clip thing..." I think of it as rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic. But it did make me smile...

    Posters to address VT shooting

    Perhaps something along the lines of: If this [gun pic] has been authorized in the VT dorms, THIS [pic of cop dragging wounded from site] could have been prevented. -or- [pic of student-type w/ small CCW-type firearm] we disarmed him, but goblins don't respect "gun-free zones"...

    Need Help or Borrow

    Yikes! Good luck - wish I could help you out, as they are a little expensive for one-time use... You can buy one if you need it (at Numrich, if you weren't already aware). Worst case scenario, you can do the swap without the tool (I have), but it is a truly maddening experience. :cuss...

    She made the decision to carry!!

    I'd remember that CCW can be a dramatic change - not many people here are going to tell you this, but I'd say that her "easing into" carrying is OK. As long as she continues to "improve," or carry more as time goes on. It took me several trips to WalMart before I really believed people...

    If someone shot your dog

    I AM one of those crazy dog people who treats them like children. But I don't assume anyone else likes my dogs. I have a German Shepherd - I really don't assume people like her. I'm ALSO aware mine aren't quite trustworthy off-leash. So they never are. My yard is fenced, but if we're...
