    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...

    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 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...

    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'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...

    Interesting article on TV news

    The wife and I were watching the national evening news on our local Fox affiliate last night, and a story came on that actually caught my attention. It was talking about the number of people, specifically children, who have been diagnosed with chronic depression, and how that number is...

    Taurus PT22

    I was in a pawn shop recently, browsing for a pistol for my daughter, and came across a Taurus PT22. I went home and was telling my wife about it and showed her some pictures on the internet. She liked the idea of not having to rack the slide to load it, which she has trouble doing on her...

    Does anyone here carry while riding a motorcycle, ccw or open, or in a saddle bag? If so how, and what kind of piece?

    Century C-93

    I'm curious about the Century C-93. From everything that I've read, it sounds promising. I would love to have a little brother for my CETME and I think a C-93 would fill the bill. Anyone have any actual experience with one? Please no "Century weapons are all crap" nonsense. I've had 2 Century...

    Another caliber comparison

    7.62x51r/.30-30 150gr vs 7.62x39 120gr vs 7.62x33/.30 Carbine 110gr. (I have a thing for .30 cal which is why I did'nt mention 5.56x45/.223) How would these stack up as a home defence round. I know how they compare in price, and local availability, and on paper ballistically. I'm more interested...

    NcStar scopes

    Ok, I know where this is probably going to go, but I'm going to ask anyway. I will however, ask that only non biased opinions be given. I understand that many in the gun culture equate dollars with quality, and it often does, but not always. So..... NcStar scopes....... good, bad, or so-so. I...

    magnum primers

    Can you use magnum primers when reloading 9 mm? I ran out of standards but still have a lot of magnums. BTW, I'm using a 115gr fmj with 4gr of Bullseye. Any suggestions?

    .30 eu

    I recently ran across a listing on Armslist for a "Commercial Mauser with (normal stuff) marked caliber.30 EU". Not that I'm in the market for another rifle, but what the heck is caliber.30 EU? I can't seem to find anything on it.

    Compact scope options

    Does anyone know of an inexpensive compact scope that has a BDC calibrated for .308 and is compatible with a CETME. I plan on getting a Stanag style mount, but for now I am using a low profile claw rail with a 30mm red dot, so see thru rings are probably going to be a temporary option. I've...

    New wildcat?

    I was thinking about a way to make a .30 carbine "rifle" more effective, and thought.... 'What if you necked down a .30 carbine case to accept a .223 bullet and used a powder appropriate for the M1 Carbine barrel length to achieve more than the 1900fps of the .30 cal. and still use the same...

    All ammo production to cease?

    My daughter in law was in the "Woods and Water" store in Tuscaloosa the other day, and the clerk at the ammo counter told her that due to a presidential mandate, all ammo production must cease on 31Dec2013. Anyone else heard about this. I told her that it would never happen, but she said the...

    3rd gen Universal .30 Carbine

    What is the current estimated resale value of a 3rd gen Universal .30 Carbine in good to very good condition? I know it's not Mil-Spec or made from USGI parts, so please don't give me the "it's a piece of crap" routine. I'm just inquiring about the resale value in the current market. Thanks.

    paper cartridges

    I have a CVA .54cal Mountain Rifle and am considering making up some paper cartridges for use during hunting season. I know there are plastic "speed loaders" available, but they are rather hard to find, and I sort of wanted to stay with a traditional loading style, seeing as I have a traditional...
