I picked up a Springfield Range Officer in 9mm two weeks back (before Springer announced that they were being made), and although I have yet to shoot it, I have noticed that the thumb safety is almost entirely unbeveled. The square tip of it digs into my knuckle rather painfully when I hold the...

I recently acquired a Chinese type 53 (m44 clone) rifle for the wonderful price of free, and was in the process of checking the serial numbers when I noticed that although the barrel, butt plate, and floorplate are all matching serial numbers, the bolt appears completely unmarked. :confused: Is...

Hi all, So I just picked up a Springfield Range Officer in 9mm last night, and part of the reason that Springer can offer the high quality fit and materials is because they skimp a bit on the finishing touches, thus there are plenty of sharp edges. I was thinking about going and deburring the...

Hey all, sorry I only stop around when I have problems, but I need help. :( I shot a USPSA match yesterday with my 92a1, and it had a lot of issues with failures to eject, and I got a double-feed two times. My ejection pattern is weak, landing shells only six or less feet away, and was...

So I got a stainless CMMG .22 conversion kit for Christmas, and went to try it out yesterday. Love it!:D It went through around 150 rounds of cheapo Blaser standard velocity bulk. But when I broke my AR in half to put my normal bolt in, the end plate and recoil spring shot right off, snapped at...

With Christmas coming up, I've been thinking about a handgun to ask Santa for (hope he has an FFL:neener:). So the only times I have handled either of these guns have been at gun shows, and the USP, although it has an astonishing record for reliability, always had, from what I recall, a very...

Hey everyone, I'm tossing around getting a .22lr AR so that I can actually afford to train more than once or twice a month. My biggest question is this: How similar is the trigger on the 15-22 to the normal M&P 15? The trigger on my M&P 15 is pretty awful, heavy with lots of creep and stacking...

I'm starting to look around a little bit for my first shotgun, something I could use for hunting, trap shooting, 3 gun, and, well, everything else. I would prefer an autoloader, but for the price and how they feel in my experience, I do like the Binelli Nova and the good 'ol 870. I would like to...

Hello all, I am an avid shooter in Oregon... but am also a minor. I was wondering if there are any good and reputable pistol and carbine training programs (similar to Costa Ludus, Magpul Dynamics, Thunder Ranch, Front Sight Academy, etc.) that are willing to train minors. I know that Magpul...

OK everyone, what is your betting gun? I.E., when $5 or a beer is on the line, what is the gun you grab to make the shot? Your old .22? Your custom Remington? Lets see 'em! Here's mine, my first gun, a Henry Golden Boy in .22 LR. Shoots straight as they come!

Hey everyone, just picked up my Savage MK II BTVS from the gun shop, but the Weaver Quad Locks (1" mediums, if it makes a difference) don't fit the mounting brackets that came on the gun. Any suggestions for an inexpensive pair that will? Thanks, MB

Sorry if I put this in the wrong section, but it seemed like the place where the most knowledgeable people would be. I'm going backpacking in either the Deschutes/Central Oregon area in a few weeks and was wondering, would it be legal for me to carry a .22 rifle for plinking and such? Of...

Hey everybody, So I got my AR about a year ago and have caught the customization bug. Thing is, I plan on going to USMA after I graduate, and then going infantry after that. I don't want to spoil myself on all the new accessories available on the market, but my astigmatism is really bugging me...

I have a Vortex SPARC red dot currently on my AR, but I've been thinking about upgrading to a used Aimpoint Comp M2 on Craigslist for around $400. Is it worth it? I'm not kicking down doors in Kandahar, so bomb-blast-surviving durability (besides waterproofing, which the Vortex is already very...

OK, so I've been reading about all the news of m1s being re-imported from Korea for a while, and now it's got me wondering.... When will I be able to get my grubby little paws on one of the imports? Assuming the bureaucracy ever actually lets them back in country.

First, let me qualify this: I am no Delta operative, Chris Costa, Chuck Norris, or Jerry Miculek, just someone voicing his opinion. What I have been noticing is a lot of people moving toward the HSLD, or High Speed, Low Drag sort of equipment when they are looking for options for their personal...

I recently purchased a RRA High Rise mount to put a Pentax 3-9x40 Gameseeker II (Cheap scope, but not all that bad) on my M&P 15. I took it out today to get it zeroed, and was soon shooting raged-hole groups at about 75 yards. Took it off to play around with my Vortex SPARC, then put it back on...

Hey, so I've been looking around for a hard (non-nylon) holster for my Beretta so I have something more reliable for IDPA, but stuff is hard to find for the 92a1. Does anyone have experience with kydex holsters? Does anyone (preferably in Portland-area Oregon) do them for around $50?

OK, so I am a lower budget shooter who lives in Oregon. What this means is that I can't afford much ammo and that it is ALWAYS raining, limiting range time. To counter this, I dry-fire almost every day, doing reloads, etc. I'd say that of every pull of the trigger, 95% of the time, I am...

Does anyone know what size flip-up caps will fit a Vortex Sparc? I'm in Oregon, and the factory bikini covers just don't cut it in the rain.
