    Most complicated firearm you've disassemled

    Remington Nylon 66. It's where the term "gun in a bag" originated among gunsmiths. Take a look at an exploded diagram of one and you will be amazed.

    What is the last gun that you bought?

    Winchester Model 52 (Pre-"A") The "King of .22's". Born in 1929. Got it at auction for less than a grand. Stole it, actually, considering it was wearing an Unertl 6X scope that's worth north of $600 by itself.

    Accidental Discharge Experience

    No Loaded Chamber Indicator On Your XD? Throttlejockey: Are you sure there's no Loaded Chamber Indicator on your XD? Every one I've owned or seen has one. It is listed as a feature on Springfield's website and every gun mag review I've read mentions it. I had an XD .45 and it had one...

    Friends want advice, help me out.

    Run #7 or #8 in front of #00 buck? In an HD shotgun? For home defense? NO WAY!! Maybe if I was BIRD HUNTING and wanted a mix of birdshot and #00 buck for coyotes, but not in my HD shotgun. #7 birdshot won't reliably bring down 4lb. pheasant at 20yds., let alone a 200# thug. If an armed...

    Accidental Discharge Experience

    I know it's beating a dead horse to say that "all guns are loaded", but if you take that mindset to heart EVERY time you handle a gun, you won't have another AD. In case you haven't taken the time to become familiar with the various features of your XD, there are two key items to be aware of...

    Need Help with a Social Situation

    Most AD's occur because someone mis-handles a firearm not knowing it's loaded. Try this: Continue to store your shotgun loaded (either with a chambered round/ safety on OR unchambered)...... But, put a VISIBLE IDENTIFIER on the gun that clearly shows that it's loaded. I suggest some...

    Would You sell your stockpile before a move?

    Not a chance. Beyond the money, I have way too much time invested in my guns ammo and other miscleaneous equipment to just liquidate it all for convenience sake. My "stuff" means more to me than just it's worth in terms of monetary value. To me, it's worth the "hassle" of transporting it...

    Friends want advice, help me out.

    As previously mentioned, if going the shotgun route, go with a 12ga. If you can handle a 20ga., you can handle a 12ga.; especially with lighter loads. I would go with a pump gun and stick with proven designs: Rem 870's, Mossberg 500's, Benelli Nova, etc. For ammo, #00 Buck is the way to...

    Anyone else use Leapers/UTG Airsoft products for real guns?

    I have one of their non-freefloat carbine picatiny forends on my Bushy M-4gery and am very pleased with the quality. It was an absolute bargain for $50.00. It is properly machined and has a very durable finish. I don't see what a $250.00 high-end version would offer over it. Some of our...

    Stockpiling Ammo

    Well..... guilty as charged, I guess. I've been collecting and shooting guns for about twenty years now. I have lots of guns in various calibers. Military and sporting, large caliber and small..... I like 'em all! And, I like the fact that I can grab any of them and head out with enough...

    What is the argument for reinstating the AWB?

    The NRA is our best defense As far as the NRA goes, I know that some people take exception on a few of their positions and that's fine; staying true to one's priniciples is generally an admirable trait. When we are talking about defending our 2A rights in the face of what is arguably the the...

    Queens "Gun Nut" Gets 20 Years

    For a "scion of a wealthy, Flushing-based, real estate family", $15K is no big deal to spend on (what I assume to be) a Class III weapon. Obviously, this guy has more access to money than common sense. His ballistics "experiments" on dogs demonstrates that he is inhumane at the very least...

    What is the argument for reinstating the AWB?

    What is the argument for reinstating the AWB? Well, I just saw Diane Feinstein on T.V. and she made a clear argument for reinstating it: "Semiautomatic or Military-style weapons simply have no use in urban areas". Wow.... that makes lots of sense, huh? I mean, there's noting by solid...
