    What happened to the DFW THR classifieds?

    Hey guys, just curious as to what seems to me to be a lack of folks from DFW posting hunting rifles in the classified section anymore. I bought a nice Weatherby from there a while ago but it seems like the "action" has somewhat dried up on bolt action hunting rifles. Anyone notice the same...

    Ruger M77 MKII 6.5 X 55

    Can anyone tell me about this rifle?

    I have a new M10 from the CO gun company. It is a 74 (545 x 39). I is my first AK. It shoots well, has never had a misfire or jam, and has a seemingly slightly smoother action than other AKs I have handled; (handled not fired). The issue I have is that when I fire it, I seem to get gasses in...

    Does anyone know what the rules are for transporting a loaded shotgun in your car/SUV as a self defense weapon? Does it matter if you have a Texas CHL and are in Texas?
