    Weaver Classic Extreme 1.5-4.5x24 Illuminated scope

    Anybody seen reviews on these? Seems like a decent, relatively inexpensive iluminated variable. It is also 1" smaller than most budget illuminated variables:). I plan on using it as an all purpose scope for an AR, and am leaning towards the reticle on the left. A couple of concerns. 1...

    Recommend illuminated scope?

    Shuter, I haven't seen too many reviews on this scope. It looks like a decent, budget, illuminated, variable scope for my M4gery. Have you seen any reviews, or can you answer a couple of questions for me. I'm leaning towards the German #4 reticle. 1. any major issues during bright sun...

    where can I find a Garand?

    That's a crying shame. Gun shop just robbed that man.:(

    where can I find a Garand?

    8 booms and a ping--good times at the range. I've heard decent things about the http://www.garandguy.com/. I've never ordered anything from him, both of mine are from CMP. Keep looking at the gun shows/classifieds. There are a few people out there who don't shoot that "dusty old rifle in...

    ??? About Solvents

    Another one using Hoppe#9 and Break Free CLP here. For some of the smaller carbon/junk fouled parts, and my AR-15 I'll use WalMart brake cleaner. Followed it up with a quick scrub, then oil. I'm contemplating picking up some of the Break Free brand foaming bore cleaner for my Garands.

    Anyone own both M&P and PX4

    All I have is the PX4, and absolutely love it. I'd like to get my hands on an M&P just to see what they are all about. Here's my thoughts on my PX4 F model 9mm 1. It's the most comfortable 9mm "I" have shot---not saying much. With the mid size backstrap, everything is easy to control...

    New Range Setup: Is this normal?

    Yuck. That would drive me nuts. I understand why the owner did it, but he apparently got a little carried away with it. RNB65 has the answer, complain to the owner and recruit your fellow shooters in this as well. You could find a new range, but for many of us that's not a realistic option.

    Mauser - Yugo 24/47 - 8mm ammo choices

    I've been using the Wolf Gold 196gr through my Gew 98. Shoots well, I bought a bunch last year when it was cheaper.

    Anybody watch "Ice Road Truckers" on History channel last sunday?

    That scene kind of ruined the show for me--at least that episode. What an idiot. I do like to shoot odd things myself, but shooting out of a moving vehicle possibly at the guy behind/next to you is STUPID. No the real question is why was he carrying a 22, when there is a potential for...

    How to move guns?

    I moved from NC to LA last year(Army). It was only a 1 day drive, base to base. I chose to move them myself, versus having someone I did not know handle and move my firearms without my personal supervision. I didn't look into coverage or legalities other than transporting them myself...

    How long did it take for your Concealed Carry License to come in?

    That's good to hear. I'm contemplating getting an LA permit, just so I can go into Texas.

    Mass--about 45 days. This was 3 years ago--it runs out next year. New Hampshire Non Resident--about 10 days.

    Glasgow Airport. Is that the best they can do?

    The best? Not even close. Not really wanting to be the "New Member" taking an older member to task, but they can, and have done, much better with SVBIEDs. These guys probably just took the short bus to the madrassa:). Amateurs are everywhere, but they accomplished their mission even if...

    You won't believe what I found in the safe this morning.

    Now that is a pretty 1911--both of them. I'm jealous.:)

    Who gets your vote in '08?

    If Fred Thompson runs, I'll vote for him. EVERYONE ELSE, except Ron Paul, scares me to death.

    No knives in the Cavalry?

    Just to be curious is it ALL knives including pocket knives/multitools? Or is it no fighting knives hung on the IBA? I can sort of see prohibiting the large knives on IBA considering that each newly deploying Joe seems to think he is John Wayne Jr. Either way, it's a BS call. Knives...

    What gun-related software do you use?

    Good stuff aaronkelly. I've been meaning to do some cataloging of my stuff. I'll give that a shot. It runs on Vista if anyone is curious.

    New Member? Introduce yourself here (just intros, questions get answered elsewhere)

    Hi, Joined a couple of days ago looking for intelligent firearms related discussion. It looks like I've found it. I've been an active duty Soldier for 15 years now, and have been stationed at Fort Bragg, NC 3 times, Vicenza, Italy once, and 3 miserable years as recruiter in the North East...
