    Vortex Razor HD Gen II 4.5-27x56

    Howdy, I've got a chance to upgrade from a PST to the Razor HD Gen II 4.5-27x56 for a great price and was wondering what some Gen II owners think of the scope now that it has been available for a little bit. It seems like on top of it being an extremely durable and well made scope that the...

    New M1 Garand, what parts are original?

    Hey guys, along with some other guns, I recently inherited a Springfield Armory M1 Garand - the receiver of which was produced in March 1941. I am curious if anyone knows of a website where I can find which parts came on it originally so I know what has been replaced (if anything) during its...

    Gallager Saddlering Carbine

    Hey guys, I recently inherited a Gallager Saddlering Carbine .50 caliber. It is in fairly bad shape, some screws are loose, the stock is cracked behind the hammer, the rear sight is missing, and the front half seems like it is barely staying together with the back half. However, it is still...

    Need help with identification

    Hey guys, been here on THR for awhile, but the black powder forum is completely new to me. I recently, however, inherited a couple black powder guns and I need some help. I have no idea what these are, and I have no idea what they are worth. To be honest, not only do I not know how to load them...

    Sierra 175 Matchking and Re-15

    Hey guys, quick question regarding use of the above mentioned components. My Sierra manual lists the max charge at 41.3 gr, but my Lyman manual has it at 44.3 gr. This (to me) is a large difference in max charge and I am actually thinking that the Lyman manual is more correct and here is why...

    Pelican Gun Cases?

    Hey everyone, I am considering purchasing a Pelican 1750 rifle case. The case being one of their larger rifle cases, I am wanting to get one case that I can use for most any of my firearms simply by switching out the middle foam piece. Now, for those of you that currently own or have owned...

    My name is.... And I'm a reloadaholic.

    Well, this reloading thing is becoming a disease. I started reloading so that I could shoot my .308 more affordably and with greater accuracy, and have since started reloading for every other rifle caliber that I have... Now that I have nothing left in my safe to reload for, I am telling...

    Aggie 3 Gunners, Collegiate 3-Gun Team

    Howdy, everyone, A member of another forum recently asked me to create a thread about the 3 gun team that I shoot on, so I created a thread on it, and thought it acceptable to also post it here. We are the Aggie 3 Gunners, a student organization at Texas A&M University. We got started as a...

    Was this magazine taken from a Gen 4 Glock?

    Hey guys, I recently purchased a Glock 34 (Gen 3) and decided to purchase an additional factory magazine for it. The price I bought it for wasn't too bad (under $30), but it did not arrive in the standard packaging that aftermarket Glock factory magazines come in. By that I mean, it did not...

    Help me.... Glock 34

    Well.... as I have competed in more and more 3 gun competition, I have realized that I want a handgun more purpose-oriented to competition. Now, I am currently shooting a stock M&P9 but I am wanting to switch to the Glock. Now, my other option is an M&P Pro (5"), but I cannot find one that is...

    Saigas and bird hunting in TX

    Help me out here, guys. Yesterday I overheard a guy recommending a Saiga 12 as a duck and dove hunting gun. Here in TX, I am wondering about the legality of this. Even if you can find 2 round magazines for them, are they legal to use? I have looked through the TPWD manual and I see nothing...

    Ever do anything drastic to acquire "gun funds"?

    Any of y'all do anything out of the ordinary or drastic to get additional funds solely for a gun-related purchase? Right now a Nightforce NXS is #1 on my to-get list.... However, being a college student, that is not exactly easy. I work the odd job when it comes around, but that money goes...

    Response from U.S. Senator John Cornyn (Texas)

    After writing to those in political office in my state (as well as federal politicians) I have received a couple of responses. Perhaps the most positive and affirming one is that which I received today from Senator John Cornyn. I underlined the main points where he talks about his stance on the...

    So....how is my thinking?

    Being in college, I live in an apartment and don't have the place to mount an actual press so for the time being my Lyman stays at home. Since I spend so much time at school, and since I still like to shoot my .308, I decided to purchase a Lee hand press. My question is, for loading 25-50 rounds...

    Maybe Someone can help me, Rules of Engagement?

    For law enforcement... what has to happen to allow an officer to engage a "suspect"? I ask because, somehow California officers shot two women because they were in a vehicle that matched the description of the vehicle that the alleged cop-killer was driving...

    My LGS, why I like 'em, and why I don't

    First off I will say, my LGS has been great to me. I really do appreciate how willing they are to work to get products that they don't have in stock and how fair their prices are on (most of) the items that they do have in stock. My story, I stopped by today to grab some reloading equipment...
