Anybody know what manufacture these 30 round Mini-14 mags are? The closest I can find (same drain holes, follower shape, etc) are Precision Mag Industries but the floorplates are unmarked and most of the pics of those I've seen say PMI on the floorplate. Ruger Mini-14 Mag types & pictures...

I watched an episode of Tac-TV and they were going over the HK 416. One of the features was an integrated strike block (or something like that) for the piston rod to hit, in the place where a DI AR would have the gas key. It was touted for it's superior strength vs a removable one. Other...

This might be a weird thread, but how do you know when you are outshooting your rifle? There are countless threads about "it's more accurate than I am" but what about the opposite? If everything seems perfect (sight picture, trigger control, breathing) when you break the shot and you have...

Either my google-fu is weak or there isn't any info on this yet. Has anyone tried the free floating aluminum handguards Rock River sells for the LAR-8 rifles? http://www.rockriverarms.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=category.display&category_id=537 I have a 16" midlength version and it has the A2...

News story and video here: http://www.kptv.com/news/25286539/detail.html Summary: Man breaks into house, after multiple warnings homeowner shoots bad guy in the leg twice when he charged at the homeowner a second time. It seems the conventional wisdom is to shoot for center mass, not...

My Dad and I did some shooting today to try out some 380 loads for the pocket pistols (Kel-Tec P3AT and Ruger LCP). We did the wet phone book method at about 10ft with 3 different 380 loads, 3 9mm loads, and a single .45acp (didn't bring any other .45 ammo) for kicks. The 380 loads were...

Whats the best way to remove the stock trigger guard on an AR-15 (LMT lower)? I picked up a magpul enhanced guard to install. The front was no problem but the rear roll pin is in there good. I got a standard punch set from the hardware store and 1/8" is the proper size I believe, but I don't...

Scroll to the end if you just want my question. Ok, this is driving me nuts because I can't find any info online. When I was about 20 years younger I got the best Christmas present ever from my dad and grandpa, a Mitchell Arms AK-22. It's an AK clone in 22lr obviously. The gun has been a...

That's the title of a video clip on the homepage of MSN today :eek: It's actually a preview clip of a National Geographic TV show on tonight at 7pm and again at 10pm called "Guns In America" from the Explorer series. The MSN homepage may change, so here's a link to the clip on Nat'l...

As if there aren't enough "Which _____ for _____" threads on THR! I've got some Remington managed recoil 00 buck (RL12BK00: 8 pellet rated at 1200fps), and some Winchester Ranger reduced recoil 00 buck (RA12008: 9 pellet at 1145fps) Do you think either is better for HD work with a 18" barrel...

Ok so I have one of the earlier XD9 subcompacts that was starting to look like it was getting a reddish hue from rust on the slide. I sent it to SA to have it recoated with the new finish. I got it back and it looks great, but one thing I noticed is the finish is rough (almost like a...

I hope this isn't a duplicate, I couldn't find a thread on it. In the current issue of American Rifleman they announced in September they will be doing a "Top 10s" issue, that will also be on American Rifleman TV. They also will be revealing the reader's Top 10 votes (for the best standard...

I hadn't seen this story posted but it was all over the local news. It seems even driving to the police station won't save you. Aside from having a weapon to defend herself with, about the only thing I could think of that might have helped is calling 911 on the way there explaing the...

Sounds like a ND. I'm surprised they actually went to someone knowledgable and got a little lesson on how rifles don't just "go off" and the difference between an AD and ND. Good reporting. http://www.bendbulletin.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080207/NEWS0107/802070394/1001&nav_category=

I don't think this is a duplicate (despite the homeowner being the same age as the guy who stopped the Subway robbery today) http://blog.oregonlive.com/breakingnews/2007/06/portland_police_investigating_2.html Lars Larson (local talk show host) talked to the head of the Portland Police...

I'll admit I thought of airsoft guns as toys for kids who couldn't have real guns yet. However I have heard that some of the newer ones have pretty impressive accuracy and somewhat realistic action so I figured I'd try one to play with and possibly use in addition to dry fire training. I chose...

Saw this on the local news last night and this morning. Source: http://www.oregonlive.com/news/oregonian/index.ssf?/base/news/1172031940260190.xml&coll=7 This story is appalling. 2 ½ years with an ankle bracelet and $250,000 bail for justified self defense! You need 3 things satisfied...

A local news story on the radio this morning (sorry, I couldn’t find a news link) mentioned a structure fire last night. Apparently there was a “hobby room” which had reloading equipment, powder, and an acetylene torch set up. After discovering the equipment, the firefighters pulled back and...

I found this HERE, which was lifted from an even larger list HERE :) 1. Banning guns works, which is why New York, DC, and Chicago cops need guns. 2. Washington DC's low murder rate of 80.6 per 100,000 is due to strict gun control, and Arlington, VA's high murder rate of 1.6 per 100,000...

Heard about this on the local news this morning. Apparently a guy had a house fire, returned this morning to check out the damage and was greeted by a BG who started shooting at him. The news showed a weapon which I assumed was his, it was a full size GLOCK with a streamlight weapon light...
