    Magnification vs. parallax

    Now before I get started please don't flame me for owning an inexpensive optic. I know I should have invested more money. A while back I bought a scope for my AR. I forget the name but it is a 2x6x28 compact (tactical) scope. When I was bore sighting it using a muzzle type laser, I noticed that...

    First shot - How old were you and what was it

    Not counting a Daisy pellet/bb rifle at around 7or8, my grandfather let me use my grandmother's Stevens 20ga single barrel to squirrel hunt with him at 9, and bought me my own Ithaca model 36 20ga at 10. He taught me how to do it right.

    Your favorite handgun

    My favorite handgun is my Argentine P-96 Hi-Power. The only flaws with the gun are the magazine safety and the bad trigger pull, and both are easily remedied. The target in the pic is a 29 shot qualifying target shot during my security guard days. It was supposed to be a 50 shot round but the RO...

    Savage axis in 308 vs Mossberg Patriot in 308

    I can't speak for either rifle. Both are from reputable companies. What I can speak for is my Stevens mod 200. No problems, no misses, no worries. Polymer stock many dislike, but I'm satisfied. You can probably find one used for around $200.

    Favorite Black Guns...handguns, that is.

    My absolute favorite has also turned out to be my duty carry piece, it's my P95 FM Hi Power

    Hi-Power mag rattle

    One of the benefits of working private security. We can carry "almost" anything we want, but we have to qualify with it. This is my Argentine FM M94 Hi Power and my qualification target.

    Hi-Power mag rattle

    "If it really bugs you just load 12." From Englishmn Tried that too. No joy.

    Hi-Power mag rattle

    This is probably a beginners question, and I'm certainly not a beginner, but I'll ask it anyway. I have a FM (yes FM not FN) Hi Power 9mm that I carry as a duty piece. I know that the problem is really not with the gun, nor is it a function problem. Just really annoying. I have the original mag...

    TZ99 refinish

    I guess my refinish job doesn't look so good. The pics were taken after I stripped it, brushed the aliminum frame, and cold blued the steel slide, levers, and hammer. Ooh well! Back to the drawing board.

    What's the most amount of money you would spend on one handgun?

    The most I have paid for a handgun has been $500. I found a brushed stainless Para Ordnance LDA 12-45 Compact, and had just sold a PSL for $1000, so I bought it. Really can't say that I would spend that much on 1 gun of any kind again unless it was something extra special.

    Most Powerful Handgun (legal to own)

    I can't imagine the Coonan .45 WinMag being called a wimp, or the DE .50 AE or .44 Automag either as far as auto's go, but I would like to see them in a side by side comparison with a .454 Casual, .460 Roland and a .500 S&W revolvers.

    What Pistol do you carry.

    When I am on duty, I carry an Argentine 9mm Hi-Power, with a Kel-Tec P-11 as a backup. Off duty it's either my Hi-power or my Essex/Colt 1911a1 and a Kel-Tec P3-at .380.

    TZ99 refinish

    I have a TZ99 that I want torefinish. It is a steel slide and an alloy frame. The slide is really no problem, but I'm not sure about the frame. What would be the best, easiest, cheapest way to do the frame? I had considered stripping, polishing, and clear coating the slide and finishing the...

    Fantasy time: What do you wish for?

    Totally doable, but not in the US,(thanks to Slick Willy),but I would love to have a Russian T-Rex MP 412 . It's a break open .357mag revolver, with a polymer coated steel frame, and case eject. Or as I have wished for before, a modernized LeMat revolver in .44mag/12 or 20 ga, .357/20 or 410...

    Universal Auto Wing

    A friend of mine recently acquired a 12ga Universal Auto Wing, and asked me to check it out for him. Aside from a few scratches and the forearm looking dried out, it looked fine, until I got inside. There I found that the ejector was broken. So far, I have had no luck finding the part on line...

    Scope question

    I ordered the scope a couple of years ago to put on a rifle, but acquired a different scope while it was still in shipping. Liked the one I got, so I stashed it away for another time, which is now. Oh well, I may just zero it at 6x, gorilla glue the mag adjust and use some BUIS for extreme close...

    Scope question

    OK, I now officially have a 2-6x28 tactical paperweight on my desk. I spent about an hour or so playing with the scope, and determined without a doubt that it is faulty. I put the rifle in vice, lined up everything just right at a 25yd target, boresighted at 2x, rolled up the magnification, and...

    Scope question

    I'm not asking to get flamed because I didn't buy scope X, scope Y, or scope Z. I'm just trying to figure out a solution (if there is one) for a parallax problem with a 2-6x28 compact tactical (name not withstanding) scope. I laser bore sighted the scope at 100yds on 3x. As I rolled the...

    AR Builds -- What Parts Did You Choose and Why??

    Sorry about hijacking this thread, but I figured there would be more exposure here. Does anyone that has replaced the trigger group in their AR, still have their old parts, and might be willing to part with them? Getting harder and harder to find OE triggers. I have a a DiamondBack DB15 lower on...
