    Finally, a replacement for my G43

    My G43 just wasn’t what I wanted it to be (lacking capacity), so I went back up a size. Traded it for a G26...with Trijicons and a bunch of mags. I’m almost embarrassed to say how cheaply I got it. I think the new 43X is on to something, but I always kept a fondness for the original “Baby Glock”

    Auctions and overpaying

    This is an example of what I see locally. It’s insane. Literally, insane. Online auctions, farm auctions, etc. Used Heritage Rough Rider. Bid at $200. Plus 17.5% auction fee. 5.5% sales tax and a $15 gun fee. PSA has these NIB for $109. Even with shipping and transfer it’s half of that...

    New War Belt

    It was time for an upgrade. My last “war belt” setup was very basic and antiquated and contained no medical gear - think pistol belt, holster and only pistol mags. Here’s the new one: The belt is an ATS. The inner belt is a stiff cordura of some brand from years back (Paraclete or Tactical...

    Anyone have a Troy GUU-5/P carbine?

    At the low $800s I’m seeing these, it’s probably a better deal for me than trying to build a lightweight A1 carbine. Does anyone have one and willing to provide any useful feedback? Even better if someone had a lightly used one to sell:)

    TNTE sales?

    I’m looking for a retro AR - a pencil barrel carbine, slick side A1 upper - Colt 654 style. CAR-15. Etc. TNTE - Top Notch Top Ends keeps coming up in my searches. Does anyone here have any experience with them? My hesitance after reading their website and some of their feedback elsewhere is...

    Which brand for budget lowers?

    I just saw some stripped lowers on Brownells. $42 for Aero $35 for Anderson $33 for ATI $45 for Matrix Then there’s premium lowers, stripped LMT and Knights $150 and $210 I can’t imagine the cheap ones getting much cheaper, or the premium either for that matter. If you wanted to buy the...

    A felon tries to buy your gun

    Let’s say you have a gun listed online. You get an inquiry so rude that you decide to check the name on the email header against social media just to see who the guy is who has the stones to lowball you, insult you AND threaten you - all in the same initial email. Something triggers an internal...

    Outrageous Range/Gun Club!!!

    Add me to the list of people that are just astonished at the way rod and gun clubs operate and what they cost! I mostly shoot at home now from 0 to 100 meters after building a good backstop, but wanted to shoot longer this week, so I went to renew my range membership after skipping it last...

    Need an EXTRA tall AR front sight post

    This is for a Ruger Charger I put together. It’s a Tech Sights front setup and a Nodak rail/sight rear. I’ve seen listings for .040 taller sights online, but this one needs even taller I think. It’s a common problem for the Nodak rears with anything but a Nodak front, which I’m not buying...

    The Takings Clause

    It’s been more than a few years since my last class on Constitutional law and I’m looking for some light to medium reading on how the Takings Clause has been previously implemented. Especially in regard to banned items. I don’t think anyone is currently in danger of losing their property...

    Ruger Charger Ideas, Mods

    I was given a used Ruger Charger this week. It’s the newer model with threaded barrel. Not a take down. Came with a Bushnell TRS-25 in a low mount. I’d like to see what anyone has done so far as new stocks/chassis, pistol braces, sights, dots, etc. My first inclination is buffer tube...

    EDC knife for $200ish

    I've found some okay reading in searching threads from the past two years about EDC knives, but I have maybe a more specific question or two than those older threads seem to answer. For the past 7 years or so I've carried a Benchmade 707 in or on my pocket. I'm looking for something new to...

    Essential Glock Modifications

    I was just thinking about the things I do to make a Glock more perfect. It used to be that I would just add night sights and call it good. So for many years I was shooting stock Glocks that had factory night sights or aftermarket night sights. I shot them accurately enough for my uses. Then I...

    Browning Hi-Power Grips

    I’m looking for suggestions for grips for a Browning Hi-Power. 1972 model. Gloss blue gun. Prefer slimmer grips than the stock walnut. Under $100. Colors preferred would be shades of brown, possibly faux ivory. Pictures greatly appreciated so I can see exactly how they match the gun. The day...

    Felons and pre-1899 firearms, antiques, etc

    I just came across this while reading about the Wisconsin state budget and other legislation: http://www.weau.com/content/news/Bill-would-allow-Wisconsin-felons-to-possess-antique-guns-448931793.html Some legislator thought this was a good idea. Maybe it is, maybe it isn't, but that's not what...

    Adding iron sights

    The scout rifle discussion got me wondering, how hard is it to attach basic iron sights to a rifle without them? Sights are cheap enough, but the skilled labor may kill this idea. Front sight only. Ramp with dovetail to pick the right height sight. Screw or Solder? How much screw depth do...

    Glock 43 sight issue

    I've got a Glock 43 that I got with XS night sights. The pistol shot extremely low. I'm talking 6+ inches low from 5-10 yards. Sight picture is big dot on top of white post, front sight covering the target center. The XS sights have a taller front than stock, and a lower rear. I asked XS what...

    Pre-64 Model 70 - The Rifleman's Rifle

    I recently acquired a Winchester Model 70 in .30 GOV'T '06. I have always wanted a real one, even more so after I was sidetracked with the purchase of one of the new ones by "Winchester" that turned out to be made in Portugal - that's another story, and one of a purchase, sorrow and...
