    Man finds Thompson Submachine gun in Grandma's basement

    Saw this on Reddit so take it with a grain of salt. Man claims to have found a Thompson Submachine Gun while cleaning out his Grandma's basement. The photo looks legit. Several people have warned him about the legalities of an automatic weapon. See the link below, you'll need to replace the...

    Having fun with an Armslist scammer

    Great work! The time he spent communicating with you was time he couldn't spend trying to scam someone else!

    Thinking about a PPK for new CCW

    I have a PPK and I find it is a bit heavy for carry compared to the bullet size and capacity. I'd rather carry something a little heavier with a larger round and capacity.

    Local Gun Shop with AR's, Lowers, and 30 round mags in stock

    I'm seeing the same indication of the market starting to ease as others have posted. I took a quick trip through Metro Pawn and Gun in Richfield MN (Minneapolis suburb). They had AR's, stripped lowers, and 30 round mags in stock. I didn't see the prices on the rifles or mags but the stripped...

    Night Shooting and Muzzle Flash Pics

    Excellent! Photography is another hobby of mine so I can appreciate the work it took to get these. Very nice that they are at dusk and you can see the sky!

    How many HP's do you run for reliability test?

    This is a statistics question and the larger the sample size the more confident you can be in the reliability of your ammo and firearm as a system. For example, with a sample size of 22 and no failures, you have 90% confidence that the system is 90% reliable. If you increase the sample size to...

    Simunition Rifle?

    I saw this photo on the Navy.mil website. Is this a simunition rifle? The magazine isn't one I'm familiar with. High res photo at the link. http://www.navy.mil/management/photodb/photos/130221-N-XJ695-016.jpg

    Unexpected armored target

    Wow! Interesting! Even for a steel pan I would have expected the 9mm to punch right through! This made me go take a look at some of our pots and pans. Some of the higher quality ones have very thick bottoms, the purpose of which is to prevent hot spots by providing a lot of material for heat...

    I'm tired of gun shows...

    Hasn't it been like this for a long time? Inflated prices and half the tables selling something non-firearms related like beef jerky. Yes you can sometimes find a good deal but those are few and far between. I haven't been to a gun show in years and don't feel any pressing need to go to one...

    How fo you feel about gun shops selling on gunbroker instead of in their store.

    I don't see anything wrong with using all available resources to sell your products. I do agree with others that the online inventory should be available to anyone who walks in to the store. We use the term "Local Gun Shop" a lot but most business owners today even if it is a two person mom...

    Prayers for Minnesota

    I've lived in MN for 10 years now, I moved up here from Florida. I am still amazed that the state can be so liberal. There are so many "XXXXX Bans Guns On These Premises" signs that it doesn't even faze me any more. It's a great state with good people but the politics here are unbeleivable!

    Now for something funny

    This AR-15 diagram is on a website called "info4guns.com", link below. I found it to be pretty funny. The rear sight is not going to be of much use mounted in front of the optic. What are accessory rail mounting holes? Do you use them to mount stuff with zip ties? And what about the storage...

    Male and Female ratio among handgun enthusiasts.

    Although the ratio is certainly skewed toward men I am sure the numbers on this poll would be even more skewed. I know several women who own firearms and shoot regularly, they are not they type to go onto a forum such as this one.
