    Should I get a pistol grip only set up?

    Knoxx COPstock I'm surprised no one has mentioned the Knoxx Industries "COPstock". Now I'm not normally a fan of folding stocks on shotguns. I believe a defensive shotgun, for example, is best fitted with a good, solid fixed stock. But I recently purchased and installed a Knoxx COPstock onto my...

    Does ammunition get old?

    With every second that passes. I've personally got some 8x56R for an Austrian Steyr straight-pull carbine with nazi headstamps on nazi marked stripper clips. I stumbled upon the stuff in a local pawn shop. They had a box full of hundreds and hundreds of rounds, still in its original packaging...

    Elbow Pain from Shooting?

    Only time I've experienced elbow pain was from firing my 629 for an extended period. It was odd though... no wrist or hand discomfort later that evening, but my elbows were clearly sore. I suppose it can happen.

    Comments wanted on a new poster (NSFW?)

    I gotta chime in here... I like this one. Both versions. It's incredible the things that threaten and invoke fear in some people. As a side note, I do find it odd that a sex toy would be illegal in my state; especially considering there were sex shops displaying such items (and other far more...

    Deal Of A Lifetime Stories

    Howdy, y'all! Now I know it's not exactly a Parker for a penny, but when I saw this humble Winchester Defender for $99.99 at a local pawn shop I couldn't help but take it home with me. I entered the pawn show during my lunch break last Thursday to browse the handguns. Seeing nothing that sparked...

    Barrel shrouds and McCarthy

    Well then... ...if these barrel-shroud-shoulder-things-that-flip-up are so dangerous, I'd better make certain I'm well armed for when they attack! Better go purchase some more firearms...

    What do you use for your home defense ?

    An inexpensive Hatsan (Turkish) Escort 18" Bbl 12Ga pump with a pressure activated Sure-Fire light mounted to the barrel. Though I have Remingtons and a Benelli that would work equally well, the Escort is the only one of my firearms that doesn't stay locked securely in a safe; my CCW piece being...

    Post your favorite gun and self-defense related quotes.

    I can't be the only one who enjoys a good B-movie... Evil Dead 3 (Army Of Darkness) - Ash (the hero) in response to his unarmed protagonist: "Good? Bad? *shrug* I'm the guy with the gun." Classic.

    The smell of cosmoline

    Mmm mmm good! Though my father had purchased my first rifle and shotgun for me when I was young, my very first gun that I puchased with my own money was a fine example of a K98 Mauser (DOU 1944, still have it to this day) with plenty of original markings intact. I spent all night cleaning the...

    Denied By NICS

    Similar Incident... A friend and co-worker of mine recently attempted to buy his first firearm (a simple Savage .22 LR at Wal-Mart) and too, was denied. Upon investigation, the only possible incident (the only incident on his record for that matter) was battery as well. I believe he was 19 at...

    Help A New Handloader - Scale Issues

    Hi, folks! I've been a member of this board for quite some time, and have visited on many occasions to search for gun related questions. Now, as a beginner in the world of handloading, I've got a question for you fine ladies and gentlemen. I recently purchased my first scale (an RCBS 5-0-2)...

    How many shooters are also musicians?

    Th' Pipes, Laddie! Me? I'm a bagpiper myself. Play a right fine set of Dunbar Blackwood/ivory pipes. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to have a scotch, fire up the pipes and terrorize the neighborhood! :evil:
