Good Morning All.. Just did the upgrade to my Life NRA membership. Also, going to bring on a new NRA member this week. The Anti's are in assault mode, time to Saddle Up and push back.. Let's Roll!

Hey all, I have a Springfield M1A Bush Rifle, (1980's). It has done great service for several years. Recently, about midway through a magazine it stopped firing. Upon examination, I had a live cartridge in the chamber and found the extractor and extractor spring/plunger assembly missing...

Hey all, I bought a Colt Anaconda in .45 Colt with the 6 inch barrel way back in the mid-nineties. It's only had 50 rounds or so thru it over the years and has been a "safe queen" for quite awhile now. I've noted how the value has increased over the years. (what are they worth now BTW). I've...

Hey all, I've have had a S&W model 36 Chiefs Special for quite awhile now. I like that I can stick it in my jeans pocket and it doesn't "print" much. But I have been concerned about the minimal .38 special caliber. I have not kept up with the newer models and options for a concealed carry...

Hey all, Upfront, sorry this may be kinda long. I am in a kinda unique situation. I live in a 3000 acre State Park that is about 1/2 mile off of a busy interstate. The nearest town of any size is about a half hour away. The area is known as a drug and illegal immigrant corridor. I am not a...

Hey all, I am not a Certified Peace Officer. However, I am a badged Ranger whose duties include the general safety and security of our park and it's patrons. I've been doing this for several years now and I am pretty good a de-escalating situations before violence can erupt. We are not...

Hey all, Thanks for the many helpful responses to my similar post yesterday. I'm learning alot. One responder asked for pics, so I'm going to see if this works. If it does any commenatry would be appreciated. I know there are some extra pieces in these sets, (in the .222 for instance) if...

Hey all, I'm a shooter, not a re-loader. I have received several used RCBS reloading dies and intend to sell them. I need to be educated. What is the difference between a carbide die and a regular ( I guess tool steel) die, and how can I tell them apart?:confused: Why do some sets have 2...

Hey all, It's been awhile since Iv'e posted here, good to be back.:) I have a M1A 80's bush rifle. Its always shot well and fits nice. However, it wears iron sights and my eyes ain't what they used to be. I guess I need to go to a scope system and I'm not sure what to get. Most of my...

Hey All, I have a Springfield Armory Ultra Compact .45. I use Chip McCormick Mags for an 8 round capacity. It's pretty much stock from the factory. I'm hoping to take an intermediate combat pistol course this spring and want to gear up correctly. This will be my 1st combat pistol course other...

Hi all. I'm thinking about getting into some basic combat pistol training. I'm very familiar with the Colt 1911 design and would like to stay with it. There are many different companies putting out brownings design and I would like your advise. My criteria? Reliability in all ways is...

Hey all, I just came into possession of an Interarms Star Model 28M (9MM). I really don't know much about them. I've been searching this site and have come up with some info about the Star pistols but nothing on the Model 28M. It works fine and has probably 85% + blue. I originally intended...

HI all, I have an Ultra Compact Springfield in .45 Caliber. I've put less than a thousand rounds thru it over the years, and have had maybe 20 or so jams over that time.:uhoh: I'm wanting to make it a carry gun for SD, and I want it to be as reliable as it can possibly be. I use Chip...

What do the esteemed members of this forum think about a marriage between the Civilian Marksmanship Program and the various Volunteer programs that the Prez. has been pushing sinc 9-11? To the best of my knowledge, the one item the Prez. has not endorsed or recommended is Firearm Training in...

Hey everyone, I seek the sage wisdom of this forum. Since 9-11 the Prez. has been pushing for volunteer service in many areas. The one area lacking is Firearm Instruction on a National scale, (surprise). As I understand it the Civilian Marksmanship Program began as the Director of Civilian...
