    Aimpoint ML3 vs. M4 - Choosing one

    I've been comparing Eotech versus the Aimpoints, and decided to go with the Aimpoint, particularly the 2 MOA models. In looking over the choices, I compared the M4 versus the ML3, and just wanted to ensure that I wasn't overlooking something here. At the local gun shop, their pricing for the...

    Nikon 6.5-20 IR Mil-Dot scope for AR15 target/varmint use?

    I have a nice AR with 24 inch barrel that I was looking to get some more use out of, particularly for long range targets and some varminting. I wouldn't mind trying some F-Class, also, if there are any matches situated here in the Midwest. I'll be doing some checking into that. I've...

    Ordering Vltor VIS, need suggestions on other mods

    I have an older Bushmaster M4gery, with the A-2 upper (14.5 inch barrel, AK style muzzle brake). I really dislike those sights and that receiver configuration, and after looking into some other combinations, said the heck with it, and decided to get the VIS system and do things right. BUT...

    Is it time to make a switch? Colt DSII to S&W 649/Ruger SP101?

    I have a Colt DSII that I purchased around the time that they were discontinued. I love snub-nosed revolvers, but haven't shot this one much due to the world's worst trigger pull. My intention was to ship this to Cylinder & Slide for some thorough rework (action job, round off trigger, install...

    I've heard on WIBC AM 1070 this morning that John Lott will be appearing Friday afternoon and Saturday at the Indianapolis 1500 Gun & Knife Show. Apparently, he has never been to a gun show before. He will be speaking and signing books. My understanding is that his presentation will be on...

    Question on older S&W factory grips - 1970s era

    I recently purchased a S&W M29-2 in bright nickel, with 4 inch barrel. The factory informs me that this was made in 1972. The revolver came with white (ivory colored) plastic grips with the S&W medallion. I've not seen these before (I'm not a collector or any sort of expert regarding...

    IDPA Rules & Revolver Barrel Length?

    According to what I read in the most recent rule book (5/2001 date), as of Oct. 2002, revolvers cannot have a barrel length greater than 4 inches. Paying a visit to the good old local gun shop, I was looking at the S&W 610 and the S&W 625-8. Both were new guns. I had thought that both had...

    Suggested solvents for cleaning nickel plated guns?

    I may be able to pick up a 4 inch barreled S&W M29-2 in nickel plate at a reasonable price in near new condition. I know that Shooter's Choice and Hoppe's both have warnings on them about use with nickel finished guns. So far, I haven't found a good alternative. I've thought about the Blue...

    Choosing an upper receiver other than 5.56mm for the AR-15

    I've been toying with getting an upper receiver for one of my AR15s in something other than 5.56mm. While I've been thinking about the .300 Whisper, I was curious about what others may have chosen, and their reasons for that choice. So, my question to you is: 1. What caliber did you choose...

    S. 1545 - Dream Act to allow many illegals to be granted residence

    Here we go again.....:fire: If I understand the language correctly, this would appear to provide illegals with legal status, as well as making them eligible for in-state tuition rates at colleges and universities. This legal status would then also allow them to purchase firearms, in...

    Another court case reinforcing police immunity on duty to protect the public....

    Once again, the courts have ruled that YOU are going to have to be the one primarily responsible for your own safety. All of us know this, but too many citizens do not. To paraphrase things - "Be careful out there, and carry MAJOR heat, WITH reloads!" Or...... "We need guns. LOTS...

    Choate Ultimate or factory laminate stock for Savage 10FP?

    I recently picked up a Savage 10FP in .308 (20 inch barrel) for a very good price, and proceeded to go through the slow process of breaking in the barrel. At the end of the day, after shooting from a bench using either a mechanical rest or the accompanying Harris bipod, I was sore and bruised...

    Anyone still make hammer shroud grips?

    A long time ago (insert either "in the Jurassic era," or "in a galaxy far away"), I recall having seen aftermarket snub revolver grips that had an integral hammer shroud. I've done a search here in the revolver forum, and on the net via Google, but haven't turned up anything. I'm expecting...
