    Do you like Japanese cartoons with realistic guns shown?

    I found the depiction of firearms in the series, "Gunslinger Girl", to be very realistic. It's a real good series, but a tad melancholic.

    I liked mine so much I bought another!

    Beginner in NC

    I live in Greensboro. The only indoor range I know of is Calibers by the airport. Not a bad place, but it's pistol only. If you want to shoot rifles, there are some places, but you'll have to drive a while to get there.

    CCW Permit in NC

    I took my class today. I'm in Guilford county and the instructor said if I called the Sheriff's office Monday morning for my interview they would probably schedule me sometime in May, possibly late April. There have been a lot of people getting concealed carry permits in this county and the...

    NRA Amicus Brief

    Have any of you guys had fundraising phone calls from the NRA to send them money to support "their" fight against the DC gun ban? I've gotten two in the past month. The one I got last week said they needed $1.2 million to fight this case and "lobby" the Supreme Court. $1.2 million to write a...

    C&R bound book question

    You only log in items you acquire while you have your license. If you sell it you would need to log it out.

    Prescription shooting glasses

    AFAIK, shooting glasses have the optical center cut in a different part of the lens from your typical reading or driving glasses. With reading glassed, the optical center, where your eye will spend most of its time looking through, will be in the center of the lens. Typically, when you shoot...

    Ruger GP 100

    Here are the two DAO 4" SS GP100's I have. Picked one up at a gunshow and the other off of Gunbroker (actually, I didn't expect to win the auction. I bid low and was the only bidder). They are imports from Canada, probably police issue. The one at the gunshow needed an endshake bearing...

    All-Wood FAL

    Get the L1A1 handguards (laminate or solid) and any of the wood metric buttstocks (I like the type B without ferrule). Metric rifles can use metric handguards, but not buttstocks. You'll have to go to a third party like Ironwood to get a wood grip, but honestly, I think plastic is better for...

    Gun Room is nearing completion...(a preview)

    I'll second Scott5's recommendation about the fire extinguisher. I had a small fire break out in my man cave a couple of years ago. A pail of used oily rags got hit with some sparks while I was doing some grinding. No damage done, happened in the middle of a concrete floor and I had a fire...

    Excessive endplay with a GP100?

    I called today to get a cylinder retaining ball and they wouldn't sell one to me. They say it has to be installed by them. I was dreading how much this would cost me. I'm not the original owner, it was made in 1991, and it couldn't be covered by any warranty. They said they'd do the repair...

    Excessive endplay with a GP100?

    Hi guys, I took the GP100 apart tonight, following Iowegan's directions from the rugerforum.com, and discovered something real odd. From looking at the various schematics there should be two cylinder retaining balls in the crane. In my gun, there's only one. I'm positive that it didn't roll...

    Excessive endplay with a GP100?

    I am checking these things with it in full lockup, trigger all the way back. I called Ruger service department today and kept getting put on hold after I asked my question. Eventually the line went dead. I think they hung up on me. I would have called back but it was the end of my lunch...

    Excessive endplay with a GP100?

    I picked up my first revolver at the Greensboro Gun Show on Saturday. It's a used short shroud 4" stainless steel DAO GP100 with a fixed sight. It's not a Century import. It looks like it was imported by IAC (Interarms) in Billerica, MA so I think it came from the Canadian police. Ennywhoo...

    PVC target stand

    I drilled holes in the legs on mine and used large nails through them to spike it to the ground. Very stable.

    Sturdy Safe vs. Browning Copper Gun Safe - Pondering...

    What about putting an insulating blanket of some kind on the outside of the safe? Would that help any, or be a waste of time?

    If someone shot your dog

    My girlfriend and I were walking Zorro, our 18-mo black lab, in a state park last weekend. Hanging Rock state park in North Carolina, as a matter of fact. We were coming down from the top of Hanging Rock and all three of us were getting tired. We were on a gravel path when out of the blue a...

    removing nickel plating

    I used the Caswell plating nickel remover. Super easy. Highly recommend it.

    Any anti gun people on this forum?

    Oh yes, I absolutely hate guns. I think they are extremely dangerous and should not be widely available. That's why I am trying to buy as many of them as I can, specifically to keep them out of the hands of children, gang-bangers, and Bubba. In particular, the evil military surplus rifles and...
