I went a little overboard on Christmas presents for my wife this year (and the kid, but that's normal ;)) and she felt bad because she didn't spend nearly as much as I did. So, she told me I could buy a gun for myself, from her, for Christmas. I've already got a couple Remington 1100s, and I...

There is a new Sheriff in town (litterally), and his policy seems to be no sign-off on NFA applications. So, I have setup the appropriate trust, and I've filed my first ever, non-individual Form 1. My question is this... When I get my tax stamp back, what info do I need to have engraved on...

I am tired of paying outrageous prices for factory ammo, so I've decided to take the reloading plunge. Initially I plan to setup for reloading my pistol ammo (9mm/.40S&W/.44MAG/.45ACP), but I'd eventually like to branch out into my rifle calibers as well (.223REM/6.5 Grendel/.308WIN/.50BMG)...

I just bought a Taurus Tracker .44MAG (stainless, 4" ported barrel). I have other revolvers that I use for different purposes, but this one is strictly going to be a range toy. While I am waiting for it to arrive, I have been browsing the web looking for information on trigger-jobs. I have had...

I have been shooting rifles for quite some time, but I recently acquired a new Savage 10FP for the sole purpose of drilling paper out to whatever range I can find to shoot. I regularly shoot at a 300 yard range, but I'm looking to find something that will drill tiny groups even beyond that. I...

I've got the hankerin' for a .50BMG lately, so I've been doing a TON of Googling to find some options. I'm pretty intrigued by the bolt-action AR uppers in both single-shot and mag-fed flavors. I like that they basically use all standard AR lower parts (trigger groups, springs, etc), and I...

I took apart one of my 870s to put a new stock and forend on it (which went fine), but when I was reassembling it all, something weird happened. I started the action bars back into the receiver, put the bolt assembly back in place and started to slide the bars the rest of the way in and they...

I spent quite a bit of time at the range today, and even though I didn't shoot (at all), it was probably the best time I've ever had at a range. My sister-in-law and her husband recently divorced. It was an ugly ordeal due to the fact that my (ex) brother-in-law was/is an alcoholic and...

I am in the process of building my first SBS "tactical" shotgun. Before I'm finished, I will have the entire gun (receiver, barrel, etc) refinished (leaning towards parkerizing at the moment), but I want to do some barrel work as well. I'm just not sure what should be done before finishing and...

I have been working on a "project" rifle for quite a while. Everything is done except mounting the optics, and that's where I'm having trouble. The rifle is a Savage 10FP (new w/Accutrigger) action mounted in a Choate Super Sniper stock. I have a Bushnell Elite 3200 Series 10x40 fixed power...

Today I stopped in my local Gander Mountain store to pick-up some CLP, targets and other misc. stuff. Of course, I can't walk into the store without perusing the gun section, so I handled a few handguns and then turned my attention to the rifles. I'd really kind of made up my mind that my...

Forgive me if I'm late to the party, but I just stumbled across this discussion on another forum, and I thought it was worth sharing. All of this comes from the official BATF FAQ, found here. According to the "letter of the law", a transaction between individuals in the same state is considered...

I recently purchased a Taurus Model 44 (.44 REM MAG, 6.5" ported barrel) to use for the 2006 Ohio deer season, and I have a few questions... I've been researching factory ammo to use on deer-sized game, and I think I've pretty much decided on CCI/Speer Gold Dot 210gr loads (as long as they...
