    Wooden primer storage box sources?

    Not many specifics in your post other than the 1 inch thick. What size box or boxes do you have in mind? I’m not sure how big 25k primers are. Plywood? Solid wood? Finished or unfinished? Where are you located and do you have a price range in mind? PM me if you like, I’ve made plenty of...

    Let's show some .22 target revolvers

    Model 17-9. Bought new last fall. Been looking forever but never found a decent older model.

    Trade 686 for 1911?

    I had the same thoughts several years ago. In the late 1980’s I was looking for a 1911 but in those days decent (I.e. accurate) models were expensive. So I “settled” for the 686, what could be a better shooter than that? I never lost the desire for a 1911 and about 10+/- years ago went...

    It looks cool so why not?

    Not the same but definitely cousins. And yes, 22 long ammo is pretty tough to find. Extra credit if you know how to get the slide off for cleaning

    Suppressor private sale?

    I’m looking for a quick overview of the legal requirements to purchase a suppressor from a private individual, does anyone have some input? In particular, a private FTF sale instead of buying new from a dealer who would file all of the necessary paperwork. (disclaimer- yes I know that I...

    Moving to Raleigh, NC and need some intel.

    I think the NC purchasing process has been beaten to death in this post. Anything else to say about the op’s questions ? I frequently visit the area and would love to know some places to shoot, public ranges? Decent private ranges? thanks

    Gun Store Experience

    I wanted a skinner peep sight on the receiver cover for my Henry golden boy 22lr. Skinner will drill and tap the cover if you remove it and send it in for ~$50, includes return shipping. I didn’t want to remove and replace the cover myself and asked a local gunsmith how much he would charge for...

    Buck 112 automatic good choice?

    I have a 112 and really like it. Classic Buck knife heft, look and feel. Crisp, clean action and so far holds a nice edge. Couple of minor things - 1) kinda heavy for pocket carry but I’m ok with that, It came with a nice heavy leather sheath but it was very stiff out of the box. 2) one switch...

    Howzabout we lighten up on Alec Baldwin,,,

    I have to agree with the OP but on the other hand the “those people on the other side (i.e. the ones that don’t agree with me) are really idiots/evil/stupid… take your pick” attitude is a pretty common component of this forum. If I could count the gloating posts when somebody on “the other...

    Using my horse Pasture as a shooting range

    Go to Home Depot or something like that and buy a big cheap piece of osb board, put it up with a post on your property behind his target. In short order you’ll have bullet hole damage on your property to show to the sheriff.

    Starting part-time job at gun shop & range for the first time…

    Most customers don’t need you to go on and on telling them everything that you know. Don’t lecture them, ask questions, in fact most of what you say should be a question to help them refine their choice or make a decision. Purpose-Defensive/protection? range toy? collectible? CW carry...

    Starting part-time job at gun shop & range for the first time…

    Be very careful that you don’t spend more than you make - unless that was the plan all along.

    Carry Everywhere You Can

    “God-given, natural right is…” I see this all the time. Sorry, I don’t really buy it. Where exactly does this come from?

    Unburnt powder question

    Lots of good information here. I also try to load low-mid range target loads to make them a little more comfortable to shoot. But yeah, they’re pretty dirty and leave a good amount of powder unburnt. I’m still somewhat a beginner and use primarily Bullseye power. So what would be some powders...

    A Flylock Pen Knife

    Definitely cool to have that in your pocket. I’m kinda baffled by the handle material - is that tortoise shell??

    Building a back stop part I

    Looks like somebody’s been putting an awful lot of rounds through that target stand without waiting for the berm to be finished.

    CCI Quiet-22 ?

    Lots of good information, thank you all. I tried out a handful and they worked just fine. In fact, the sound hitting the backboard behind the target was actually louder than the shot.

    CCI Quiet-22 ?

    Seem to remember buying some of these because that’s all there was during the last shortage. Didn’t cycle my pistol but shot ok, eased the withdrawal a bit. Now again I see them available when little else is on the shelves. Anybody have any opinions on these? They say don’t use in a rifle...
