    This time I took my 7 year old out to check the zero on his deer rifle

    He did a little shooting with a .22 to warm up. Then we got out his deer rifle. It has an A2 style 7.62x39 upper from a Colt Blue Label gun with a Trijicon Reflex II sight. The Magpul CTR stock allows me to set up the length of pull for him and lock it in place so it doesn't rattle. The...

    To me it recoils similar to a .30 Carbine.

    Took my 8 year old out to confirm zero with his deer rifle

    He started out practicing with a Chipmunk. Here he is shooting out of the shed where I store target holders, chairs, benches, etc. for the range. Here is a pic out the door of the shed towards the backstop. Thats about 30 yards. After a little paper punching he got some time on a...

    How would you respond to a telephone survey questioning your status as a gun owner?

    I would do what I do to any survey caller or salesman - ask to be put on a no-call list.

    Ruger Mini-14 GB? Is it different from Mini Ranch?

    I understand that Ruger has recently been selling a model they call the GB that has an improved front sight near the muzzle but no bayo lug or flash hider. I don't know if the new GB model is based on the Ranch action (fixed ejector and integral scope base) or the traditional Mini-14 action...

    A real eye opener, no flamewar intended.

    I think anyone that has field dressed or butchered a deer or other big game animal has a pretty good idea of the physical destructiveness of firearms.

    S&W 500---any owners with opinions?

    I love the M500. For me it is much more comfortable than a .454 SRH to shoot, but it is a lot bigger and heavier to carry for hunting. The recoil seems slower than the .454 - when shooting the .454 I stop shooting because my palms start protesting, when I shoot the .500 I stop when my forearms...

    M1A Socom Problem

    Maybe his rifle doesn't like your ammo, maybe because of a resizing/chamber tolerance issue? I would suggest that the heavy bullets are slow enough out of the short barrel that they don't spin fast enough to stablize. However, the fact that the ammo isn't cycling makes me think there is more...

    do .308 and .30-06 kick too much for you?

    I put 600 rounds through a sporter weight .30-06 bolt gun in 4 days. No big deal.

    YouTube bans knife and gun videos (Retry #1)

    This is the same kind of nonsense at my job. They recently started blocking access to all the gun related sights they can find. I can spend all day on youtube, ebay, DU, the peta forums, payless shoes, autozone, etc., but I can't go to THR, gunbroker, auctionarms, gunsamerica, or midwayusa...

    I can't tell, but then I'm just about blind.

    Rounded Grips for GP100

    Try Hogue Monogrips. You can get wood or synthetics or laminated wood. They are my favorite grips for the GP-100 and Super Redhawk. http://www.hogueinc.com/getgrip/merchant.ihtml?id=60&step=2 http://www.hogueinc.com/getgrip/merchant.ihtml?id=390&step=2

    Marlin 444 scope mount issue

    XS Sight Systems Scout Mount. http://www.xssights.com/store/scope.html I have used the Lever Scout Mount which is the 2nd one down the page. If you use that one you will have to get a different scope. I've mounted a number of them and they all zeroed without any trouble. If you don't...

    AR 15 Cheek rest for A2 stock

    http://www.fulton-armory.com Go to the AR-15 parts section. They have two. I've used this one. My oldest son uses it on his deer rifle. It works fine. There are 3 different height pads so you can adjust it. I have not used this one, but Fulton generally has good stuff so it should...

    I started with scrap wood, cardboard, screws, & staples, applied power tools and got

    Instant target holders. Crude, but effective. Everything was just taking up space at my place. The only thing I had to pay for was the electricity for the power tools. Detail of one front and back. Front and back of one taken down for storage and transport. I keep some heavy...

    Need help changing buffer tube on an AR....

    Try the hammer and brass punch after you freeze it. It won't tear up the castle nut. I put mine on a section of 2x6 on the floor and held it in place with the same hand that holds the punch. Depending on how the notches line up you may have it easy like I did or it may be almost impossible to...

    Need help changing buffer tube on an AR....

    I don't doubt that can happen. Anyone have any idea the average round count before it does? I put on a carbine stock using a little CAR wrench like is shown in the first picture. I didn't use any loctite and I didn't stake it. 2k rounds later it is still tight. No full auto, but two...
