Hello everyone! It's been a while since I've been on the forum, grad school being what it is. I'm mostly posting now because I've decided to sell my browning 1886 saddle ring carbine which I believe was made by Miroku in the 1980's. The gun has a round (as opposed to octagonal) barrel. I'd say...

Hi all, I'm looking at buying a new Colt series 70 1911. I really like the look of blued/dark metal with wood grips, but it seems that the series 70 comes with a bright silvery hammer and barrel. I know this is the least of my concerns, but does anyone make black/blue replacements for these...

I am very pro gun. I think that every gun law we have on the books (permits, licensing requirements, tax stamps etc.) is unconstitutional. But lately, with all that's been going on there's one question I've had a hard time answering. Why do so many (mass) shootings happen here in the US? I...

Hello I took my friend from New Jersey shooting earlier today. He asked if he could have one of my .45-70 brass to take as a souvenir. Can he possess this in NJ? Any special instructions for getting it back to his home? Can he have it in his checked baggage on the airplane? Thanks. L

Hey everyone, I'd like to take my friend shooting. However, he is here on a student (F1) visa from China. He has been here in the states for almost a year now attending graduate school. I have heard that, because of his visa type, he would not be allowed to shoot. Is there any truth to this...

Hi everyone, I'll be purchasing a N frame revolver with an 8 3/8 inch barrel soon. Trouble is I can't find a case it'll fit into. I'm not looking for a long term storage case, just one for range trips so I don't have to risk the wooden box getting damaged. I use a plano single pistol...

Hi all, I was cleaning my Ruger Blackhawk convert-able, when I noticed that the pin that holds the sights in place on top of the frame was sticking out. I tapped it back into place, and the gun appears to be functioning normally. Is this something I should be worried about? What would cause...

I went to the range today. I'm trying to become more accurate with my shooting. I decided to work on DA shooting today. The target below is my best 12 shot run with my S&W 25-9 in 45 Colt. Shooting done with two hand hold from 7 yards. Can anyone give me any tips, or tell me what I need to work...

Hi everyone, I want to shoot better. I can keep most of my rounds on target at 7 yards, but I want accuracy. I want tiny groups. Does anyone have any tips on improving accuracy with my Ruger Blackhawk? Also, because I know that tips and advice given over the internet are useful, but...

Hi guys. Sorry in advance if this is the wrong place to ask. If it is, let me know and I'll move it. I recently discovered that my blackhawk (convertible) does infinitely better with Winchester Super X 250 grain 45 colt cowboy loads. After getting over the sneaking suspicion that my...

Hi everyone. I recently went to visit my grandfather. We went shooting, and he had a gun I really liked, but I can't seem to find it on sig's website. The box said that it was a p220, but the 220's on the website don't look anything like it. The gun had wooden grips, and the back of the...

Hi guys. Sorry again about replying so late on my last thread. Won't happen again. Okay, so as per my last thread, I'm moving to Tallahassee Fl, form Pensacola, Fl for school. I have an apartment that is off campus, and there was no mention of firearms in the lease. They seemed to be more...

Is there anything I need to know? Do I tell the people I rent from? Do I make it a point to not tell them? Can I be evicted just for owning guns? Extra info: I'm moving within Florida (to Tallahassee) to an off campus apartment. The guns are mine, and I have a permit. I didn't see anything...

Why do I never see wadcutters being used as rifle bullets? In particular, I'm curious why they aren't used with .45/70. Is it just the ballistics? Is it something else? Thanks everyone

Is the fractured nature of the "pro gun" movement ruining our chances of gaining back the ground we've lost; or, long term, even keeping our gun rights at all? There are so many groups in the pro-gun movement, and each group wants different things. These groups run the gamut from wanting...

Dang it was heavy! There I was cruising my local gunshow, small bag of ammo in hand when I saw it. Sitting under some glass at a private sellers booth. I'm still in the process of saving up, so I knew I couldn't buy it, but I just had to hold it... It was really heavy. I have a 25-9 with a...

Does anyone know anyone near Pensacola, Fl that holds 1 on 1 instruction classes? I have my concealed carry permit, and the training that went to that was fun, but I'm looking for something that focuses less on defense, and more on target shooting (particularly revolver target shooting if...

Hey everyone, so I want to get my dad a scope for his 10/22. He doesn't hunt, or shoot much past 50 yards. Also, I know nothing about scopes. I have read that the Simmons 22mag rimfire scope 3-9x 32mm Truplex is a decent (and affordable) choice. However, in reading the reviews on midway...

Hi everyone. I keep my brass, and see on here when I have enough of a stockpile built up. That time is approaching, but I have a few concerns. Until now, I've only ever sold pistol brass, and the brass is always perfectly round (that is, at the open end) after firing. However, I am...

Hi everyone, I have had my concealed carry permit for a year or so, but have not been able to carry due to being in school full time. Now that I'm out, I would like to start carrying. I know that I want a revolver, simply because I am not as familiar with semi-auto's. I know the basics...
