I was just reading the Stephen King thread, and wondered if any of you read Dean Koontz? Reason I ask, (aside from the fact that I think he's a great writer and I love his books), is, in his most recent book "The Darkest Evening of the Year", there is a quote that really got me. He wrote, as a...

Mornin' everybody. I don't post much here at Rifle Country, but I read stuff here often. I would like to know your opinions on the 3 (or 4, maybe 5) most useful rifles. For a rural setting, some hunting, varmint protection, defense of the place. If this has been discussed ad nauseum...

My SA Loaded's night sights seem to be a lot fainter than they used to be. The rear ones are faint, and the front one isn't really visible. I had a friend look at them too, just to make sure it wasn't my old eyes getting worse. She couldn't see the front sight either. I bought the gun new...

Has the NRA come out yet for a presidential candidate? I looked at their site and didn't see anything. Thanks.

Well I know that this is a pretty dumb question, but, I've just got to ask it anyway. What happens when you shoot (a gun) up into the air? As in, to scare off dogs or coyotes sniffing around way too close to our goats and chickens. Haven't seen them come this close before today; would prefer...

Hey guys, This is probably a really dumb question but I have been wondering about it for a while now, and so I'll just ask. If, in the future, some lawmakers decide to "ban" certain guns, or certain magazines, or certain ammo, or what-not---what happens if you already own the now-banned...

I enjoyed reading the thread on the AR-15, and what they were good for. I have been wondering the same about the "everyone should have one" .22 rifle. I do want one. But not being very knowledgeable about long guns, nor ever having hunted, I would like input on what can be accomplished with a...

Anybody watching this movie "The Punisher" on FX? It's on right now; great guns! CJ

I'm looking at adding an AR15 to my "library". Would be my first of this type of rifle, actually my first rifle. Would like opinions, comments, etc, from you experts out there. Can I go wrong with a Bushmaster 16", collapsible stock, removeable carry handle (is this A3?), flash suppressor...

I really want a lever gun, and am trying to decide between these 2 calibers. What would I give up/gain with each? Any and all comments appreciated. Thanks. CJ

Good morning all. I haven't posted here in Rifle Country before, since I don't own a rifle. But,.....am seriously considering getting an AR15, a Bushmaster Carbon 15 model with the 14.5" barrel, which has the Izzy muzzle brake on it. I've done quite a bit of reading over the last week or so...

I've tried to get to Packing.org to look for this, but I guess their server is down or something; anyway, I wanted y'alls opinion on this. I've read the threads of what to do if stopped while driving, and you are carrying; but today, I was riding as a passenger and was carrying, and got to...

Will be out in the Las Vegas area for a few days later this month. Any places to shoot out there? Thanks. CJ

Hello all. I've been "visiting" a six-inch 686 (pre-owned) and just can't stop looking at it everytime I go in. I've usually preferred the appearance of a 4" barrel; just a personal preference. But this 6" one keeps waving me over to take another look. It is heavy, but not too much so, I...

Hey everybody. I've used the shotgun and handgun forums mostly, but now I have a question for y'all. Is a .22 rifle enough to "manage" coyotes who might be interested in our new baby calves? I'm interested in any and all suggestions. Thanks.

How does one change the grips? (on a full-size 1911) Is it as simple as removing the old ones and then putting on the new? Any surprises under the current ones? Anything going to pop out at me? I know these are dumb questions, just don't want to proceed without asking. Thanks. CJ

Do you put any oil on the feed ramp? I've been told to do so by a knowledgable gun person, but haven't read anywhere to do that. Also have been told by another knowledgable gun person not to, that a lightly oiled patch through the barrel will catch the feed ramp enough. What say you all...

....do you fire through your semi-auto to make sure it will feed, eject, etc.. properly? I usually use either Federal American Eagle or a reload called Zero to practice with, but have read here that you should make sure that your gun will "like" whatever SD ammo you plan to use. So how much is...

.....a Springfield G.I. I think. I can't help it; I've done a lot of looking at different brands and models, both at pics on the internet, and in person at various gunshops around town. There's just something about this gun. The one I've seen is a 5" parkerized, and I've looked at it, and at...

Good morning all. As will be no surprise to anyone here, I am wanting another gun. :) (don't we all?) Have rented the Springfield full-size Loaded model and really liked it. In looking at pics on SA's website I realized that I keep going back to those parkerized ones, and to the black...
