Good earplugs work well by themselves.

Just out of curiosity, since you brought "pistols" the second time, what were you shooting the first time? Rifles? Shotguns? (A revolver *is* a pistol, both by traditional and legal definitions)

Second the comments about being drawn on by employees. In fact, I'm throwing the "bovine manure" flag.

Did somebody mention Pigeon Forge, Tennessee and how to correctly pronounce some bit of culture in the same sentence???? I'm still laughing. Leupold is really pronounced LEWpold. .308 in a semi-auto battle rifle is nowhere near bad recoil. Bolt action 30-06 is my threshold for the "starting...

Super Black Eagle is inertia driven. Super 90. the M4, is a gas gun. I like the gas recoil system of my M4, and I do like the Browning Gold system, and even the Saiga 12.

Ok, two thoughts. 1. Do not fire 3 inch, or 3.5 inch shells, out of a gun marked for 2 and 3/4. Never. Here is a story: Guy I knew shot 3 inchers out of his Drilling, made for 2 and 3/4 shells in the shotgun barrels and 30-06 in the rifle. He shot off a 3 incher, and the gun fired all 3...

Insert Obligatory "45 Long Colt does not exist, the cartridge is simply 45 Colt" remark.

No, it's not fact. It's misrepresentation. The fact is that, yes, one can, by holding the safety halfway engaged, pull the trigger, and have the gun fire when the safety is released, on a very few guns. The misrepresentation is "All Remington 700s can fire when the safety is turned off."...

Bear in mind that a functional cannon has to get some sort of stamp, I think. IANAL (I love that acronym) and I could be wrong.

I have had two interactions with HK customer service. 1. I called to get, straight from the horse's mouth, whether the HK91 is a .308 or a 7.62x51, and whether the HK93 is 5.56 or .223. They answered, and I was happy. 2. I had a slight bit of trigger creep in the match trigger of my USP...

There are no benefits to electronic ignition that aren't outweighed by the drawbacks of introducing a whole other power system into a handheld weapon. While, conceptually, the idea of electronics removing all the variances of the mechanical linkage works, I guess, it is statistically...

You must've been missing some fingers to think the USP's ergonomics sucks.

The people that hate HK are usually the ones that can't afford their products. So, they belittle the company to feel better about themselves. Also, the people that say their guns are overpriced usually haven't shot them. Similar to Taurus, HK is one firearms company that most people here speak...

I own 'guns'. Several are 'rifles' One is an 'AR-15,' another is a 'SKS.' The first is a 'Colt Law Enforcement;' the second is a 'Norinco 20" rifle' No need for the term assault rifle, other than to describe a specific class of rifle as said above.

Most people have an over-inflated idea of how good they are at something, so, most of the time, anything you do to something out of the factory makes it worth less and uglier. Even some of the rifles in this thread looked better to start with than after their owning was finished with them...

So many of those cartridges are so close to the same thing that not much changes.

Hrrrm. The Soviet round is 7.62x39, the .308 is 7.62x51, and the 30-06 is 7.62x63. I notice no one is saying the Soviet round can be amped up to beat all .308s, yet the case length difference is the same. (I do realize it is a percentage thing, but it is still a valid point.) As I recall, the...

As for price, Gunbroker is good. Get an account and you can see what completed auctions actually went for. Since there's a no-criticizing-ads policy here, those ads that have absolutely NOBODY responding? Yeah, people went and checked gunbroker and realized the guy wants more for his 5000...

Normal gun solvent will work just fine. Plus, I am sure CLP and Lucas Gun Oil will not mysteriously melt your gun if they mix.

I used to get a little weirded out at night coming back from the tree stand as a kid. Then I remembered I was carrying enough gun to drop anything on the continent.
