Going back to the area for a few days this summer. Other than Buffalo's SportsLure (good store), what other good gun stores are on the east side of the Bighorns? Mostly interested in vintage stuff.

This might be a tough one. I have a pretty darn good grasp on federal transfer laws, but this personal one has me stumped. Any help with LEGAL ideas is appreciated. My Dad, a resident of Maine, has entered a rest home and it is not likely he will ever be returning home. He has owned a...

Dang it. My wife is 64, of slight build, but quite althetic. EXCEPT she has an EXTREMELY week grip and weak fingers. She cannot reliably pull the trigger on her SW 60 revolver any more (even after changing the springs in it). She usually shoots it with two fingers. She cannot pull back...

Any experience? Some folks place this in the same catagory as flying through New York. True? Can a non-Illinois resident check a handgun at O'Hare or is it impossible because O'Hare is within the city limits of Chicago. I am asking because I will soon be flying THROUGH O'Hare, but worry...

Anybody know? I like the looks of the 527 M1 .223 American with the flush three-round mag, but want the option of using the 5-rounder offered on other 527 models. Will this work?

Now what? If one chooses to legally smoke marijuana in Colorado (by state law), how can you possible answer 'no' on question 'e' when the drug is against federal law. If you answer 'no,' you are committing a felony for lying. If you answer 'yes,' you will be denied. This doesn't effect me at...

Anyone order any firearms from them? Service, integrety, etc.?

"No Concealed Weapons" signs are appearing on McDonald's doors in eastern and central Missouri and may include several franchize owners. The signs appear corporate in nature and are on the same small banner than prohibits no shirts, no rollar skates, etc. Have others noticed this in other...

I am planning a trip there in the near future. The HandgunLaw.US site states that New Mexico recognizes Missouri's permit, but Missouri is not listed on New Mexico's state site (http://www.dps.nm.org/index.php/nm-c...ty-agreements/) as a recognized state. Their state says they are constantly...

A bear study thread I started on this site recently went on forever. Almost all the discussion was in response to a short newspaper article reviewing the study. Attached is the text of the actual study for those that might be interested in the details. I haven't had time to read it yet, but...

Study of over 200 Alaska bear vs. gun encounters indicate guns are relatively ineffectiven against attacks. The study also indicated that handguns actually were a little more effective than long guns, and explains why. Interesting. At the very end of the article, it references the author's...

We are planning a trip to the Grand Canyon and will be traveling through several Indian reservations in Arizona on the way. These tribes are part of the Colorado River Tribal group and, according to handgunlaw.us, their regulation says: A person commits the offense of carrying a concealed...

I hate to be picky, and generally say 'live and let live' on the clip vs. magazine fights. But the misuse of decimal points when describing calibers, gauges, and bullet weights is just wrong and drives me crazy. Just his morning I read about .12 gauge shotguns (no such thing), .200 grain...

Does anyone have both? I want to know how the weights compare of a loaded full-size, steel framed 1911 with a .22 conversion unit (Kimber or the like) on it to a loaded .45 lightweight commander (4 or 4.25 barrel) with no conversion unit on it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. I am...

I have my own backyard range. Today I went out to shoot my main carry gun, a SW1911PD, on IDPA targets. I did some simple drills and then shot a few draw/shoots one handed, something I do during most sessions. After about 30 shots sudden pain permeated my wrist. OUCH! My damn wrist now hurts 10...

I am getting ready to replace the top of my benchrest. I will probably use thick marine plywood again. Any better products for that purpose? If you do use marine plywood, what do you paint or treat the wood with?

A local dealer is selling these, on sale, for less than $200. Anyone have any experiences, good or bad, with them? I have had Rugers and a Smith 41, but have no experience with this model. I think my son, in his 20s, needs a good .22 auto for Christmas and I am in the hunt.

I have been a bolt-action shooter for 45 years and finally bought a Remington R-15 for coyotes. Fun gun so far. My question: This rifle had a two-piece free float handguard with no front sight. I assume I can simply unscrew the tube to remove it and clean field debri that gets underneath...

For What!? Are you asking if your partictular revolver is drilled and tapped for a scope mount? If so, open the cylinder and look at the underside of the topstrap. If you see two holes there, your Smith is drilled and tapped fro scope mounts.

I am considering getting one of these to fit in a compartment in my new truck, but need to know the total length of the gun/stock combination with the stock folded. Can someone who has one of these stocks please measure the distance (parallel to the bore) from the face of the trigger to the...
