I bought a used SA Mil-Spec here last year sometime. The barrel bushing is different than any I've seen before and I was wondering if it's any good or not. Basically, was it an upgrade or a downgrade? My camera stinks at closeups but I think you'll see what it's deal is before your head starts...

I live in a small unincorporated town. We don't have a PD so the sheriff has to respond to any calls and they are 30 minutes away. I live near a 4 way intersection at the beginning of a little straight piece of road and the kids like to "get on it" when they start down my road. Kids will be...

Well, I finally found one. I present to you my new (to me) Marlin Camp 45. Well start things out with a little softcore Camp porno. I haven't made it to the range with it yet since I just got it last night. Today I tore it down and replaced the recoil buffer. The one that was in it...

I started this just to avoid further hijacking of another thread. Some background without quoting the whole thread. me ak103 me ak103 All of the above. I'm not buying new clothes (have too many already), still need to get a new belt, and definitely worrying about it too much. :)...

I can't seem to find this info and I'm trying to avoid making a mess right off the bat. I'm about to start reloading 45acp on my new Pro 1000. I want to start off loading them "one at a time". That is to say I want to insert one piece of brass and run it all the way around before I insert one...

I'm very interested in one of these weird looking little monsters but I can't seem to find too much info about them. I am on the hunt for a 45acp carbine and this and the HK (way too pricey) are about the only current options from what I can tell. Do they use 1911 mags? Are the ergonomics...

I have a leftover piece of your average countertop leftover form the Kitchen remodel. I've been moving it from room to room for over a year now because it was too expensive to throw away and you know how someone always needs a piece of countertop. :uhoh: Would it be any good to use for my 1st...

I just picked it up today, got a pretty good deal on it. One SS 8 rnd mag, one blue 7 rnd mag, a Hume IWB holster, box and papers for 750 LNIB out the door. Less than 150 rounds, probably more like 100. He said he "owes" me a mag but I won't hold my breath. Anyway, I'm happy and that's all that...

I'm interested to hear the experiences of people who have bought Kimber 1911's in the past year or two. Apparently they hired a couple of QC techs that have mild narcolepsy. I want to hear the experiences of Kimber owners and whether they were good from the get-go or not. If not, were they fixed...

I am looking for a 1911 CCW. I've been over and over this here and on 1911forum. I want a 6+1 frame with a 4" or 4.25" barrel. The SA "Compact" (discontinued) is the only one I've found (can only find one and it's a little too pricey and the slide action feels like poo). Here's my question...

am looking into getting a 1911 for my new CCW. Yesterday at the toy store I found a used SA Compact. Not an ultra or micro, it just said compact. It was 6+1 capacity and had a 4" bbl with an alloy frame. I think this is a very nice carry configuration (exactly what I was looking for) and I...

I have been dreaming about a LDA pistol for months now. I keep reading this (good) and that (bad) about the LDA trigger (which seems a bit safer for carry). I haven't even pulled the trigger on one but I know that I will like it since I like DA triggers in general. Also, up until now I've been a...

I was mowing the front yard yesterday when a pickup rolled by (a pickup that I've never seen in my itty bitty neighborhood). I live near a corner where there is a stop sign. I looked up as they passed and noticed that the passenger (18-30) was staring at me. I mean not even looking away when I...

I've seen the surefire version which is way too expensive for me (almost twice what I gave for the gun). I saw a pic in which the guy had a fore grip that held a normal flashlight. I was hoping someone makes a vertical grip version. Anyone know of one? I have a Mossberg 500 BTW. Thanks a lot for...

I am trying to round up attendees for a Defensive Shotgun Training class (pistol and carbine to follow) somewhere in Western North Carolina (exact location TBD). I have talked Defensive Concepts of North Carolina into coming up here to do a class or three as long as there is sufficient...

I usually plan to have the windows down (tinted windows) with my hands on the wheel when they walk up. I am wondering if putting the gun on the roof of the car before he/she gets out of the patrol car, then proceeding with my "drill" is a good way to get slammed on the hood or not. I thought...

I started this to avoid hijacking EdLaver's night sight thread. I am trying to find an affordable red dot for my 5.56. I almost bought a BSA this weekend because it was used and very cheap but a couple of people said that it wouldn't last on a AR. I played with a friend's BSA over the weekend...

Sorry, I've been reading the Kalashnikov thread and I am having a tough time deciding what to do about my first AR. I understand that the time is now if I'm going to get one and I have decided basically what I want. A .223 16" is about as far as I've made it. My question is this. Should I just...

Just thought that I'd try this out.... I have been learning about and shooting a lot of handguns in the past year or so. Thanks to THR for most of my knowledge. :D I am now being bit by the rifle bug. The only problem is that I don't know anyone with any rifles and I don't have anywhere to...

Well, it finally came today. My new CCW, a S&W M&P 9mm compact. First impression, good! The pic is of my very first ten rounds through the gun @ 7 yards. Not too bad for using Independence 115 gr FMJ's. I am no expert in these "type" of pistols either. I am used to revolvers and 1911's. I...
