    Burlington, VT gun banners still at it.

    More: Here & Here Personally I think they need to deny the use of the range to all agencies, and this should be done on a state wide basis where ever our rights are being threatened. This puts the pressure on the .gov through the enforcement chain and can be another very useful tool to...

    Yet another Colt AR question...

    Yes, I did a search, several in fact and I'm not learing what I need to know. :confused: I have a Colt A1 post ban 20 " upper, it's marked CM on the carry handle and MO5 on the front sight base. The only other marking is a 0 on the underside of the barrel near the receiver. I understand...

    Sunday Morning gUn PrOn

    One for Pappa & one for Mama. I've been wanting a S&W1911PD of my own ever since my wife came home with the Commander sized Smithy a couple of months ago. She made the mistake of lettin' me borrow it. Then I discovered I could shoot her 1911 better than I could shoot my Glock. Hmpf...

    CMP M1 GARAND RACK GRADE

    It looks like CMP is running out of M1's. I held off when they still had Service grade available and now all that's left are the Rack Grade. Are these "Worth It" as shooters ? I'm not looking to win any NRA matches with it I'd just like to be able to hit targets at 100 - 200 yards. Which...

    Optics help

    As I get older, my eyes get worse. I now prefer to have optics on my long arms. I've acquired a SAR-1 and want to put a 'scope (Not a Red Dot) on it. I'm considering a Russian POSP 8x42 Scope to try and keep an authentic look. Anybody have any experience with these ? Build quality...

    Pick yer brains

    I need to start reloadiing. I want to start reloading for .500 and .40 S&W. I'm not concerned about the mechanics of set-up / operation as I've rebuilt electro-mechanical machines for a living for 18 years. I'll also be reloading 9mm, .380, 7.62X25 and 7.62X39. I don't want to buy two...

    Yet another Red Dot thread

    I have a S&W 4" .500, my eye's aint getting any younger. I've had good results using red dots on .22 pistols. What Red Dot can take the pounding from a S&W .500 ? Being a traditionalist, I don't like the look of the open dot sights and prefer a tube. Please don't just tell me to do a...

    Who surprised who ? A question.

    I've been out scouting a parcel my buddy told me where he'd spotted a good sized buck. Found a good spot where a trail cuts in front of a swamp through a stand of tall pines. I had my climber set and was just starting up to clear some branches when I heard a stamp and a snort. My heart jumped...

    Opinions, please (Don't know where to post this)

    First, yes I did a search (several ways) came back with 10,000 responses. I'm looking for opinions on the Glock G21. I have a chance to buy one used but I'm not that familiar with this specific sidearm. Seller is offering the gun with 4 hi-cap & 2 10 round mags for roughly $500...

    Old Stevens single shot

    I recently acquired an old Stevens 94C .410 for my son. The receiver still shows some case coloring. The barrel has gone nearly brown from age. This still shoots well. How viable would it be to have the barrel re-blued and is it possible to re-do the case colored finish on the receiver...

    What guns for 7.62X54R ?

    YES ! I did a search, and got 1112 possible hits, I went a couple of pages in too. I really don't want to chew through all that. I don't mind doing research but I realistically can't spend the weekend on the computer. OK actually two questions here. I'm getting into C&R milsurps and now...

    What makes a "Scout rifle"

    Please not I did not ask "WHO". I think they look :cool: What in your opinion are the features which make this configuration. What do you prefer in one and why. I'm think of building one for some high caliber plinking. :D

    When .50 Cal isn't enough...

    I found this earlier today and thought you folks might enjoy it. For some long-range sniper missions, a .50 caliber (12.7mm) round just isn’t big enough. The Barrett company, which pioneered the development of the modern .50 caliber sniper rifle, has now built a 25mm sniper rifle (although...

    Firearms reviews

    I was reading a thread on freelance writing over in the hunting forum. I’m an aspiring writer, (Currently I have more rejection letters than published works.) And I have this question for you. When reading a review of a firearm, what kind of information do you find helpful and why ?

    Sometimes I just can’t help myself.

    I took my boy to Dick’s Sporting Goods yesterday to get him his first .22. He ended up with a Marlin model 60 which came with a 4X scope. He’s been shooting BB guns and a .177 Crossman pellet gun for the last couple of years and has good discipline while shooting so I’m comfortable with him...

    Your opinion please; Kel-Tec SU-16A

    There is a retailer here offering the Kel-Tek SU-16A for $449.00. I'm very temped to pick one up. I like the idea of a folding rifle in something more powerful than .22 for the BOB, also for H.D. and varmit hunting. Anybody have one of these ?

    Storing ammo, security cabinet or fire safe ?

    Hi folks ! I've been browsing this forum for awhile and this seems to be a nice place. I'd like your opinions on safely storing ammo. I had been keeping mine in a medium size fire safe but I was told by someone on another forum that in the event of a fire the ammo would actually explode inside...
