Saw this posted on Facebook of all places. It doesn't appear to have a rear sight... Anyway I would never cut up a perfectly good Krag rifle like that, but if I were to see one of these on the self at a local gun shop, I'd probably buy it LoL. Bet it has some serious recoil...

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/03/27/upshot/deadly-bullets-guns.html This article is so bad that it's actually kind of funny. Or it would be funny if there weren't people reading this stuff and thinking it's good information :(

My oldest turns 9 today. Got him his very own AR-15, gave it to him a day early and took him to the range. He fired 2 rounds before he said he wanted to go back to .22LR ha ha. I'm thinking he might need a limb saver recoil pad or something. Possibly a .22LR conversion kit. It was a great...

Example of what I mean: Anybody here play "overwatch"? I've been hooked on this game for the last year or so. I don't normally like first person shooters, but this one appeals to me for some reason. Anyway I was all excited to seem them introduce a new character who is armed with a lever-gun...

I'm looking for a front sight post that is thinner than standard. I believe that the standard post is 0.070 inches wide and I'm looking for something around 0.050 instead. I'd like to find one that is either square or rounded. I bought a few online but when they arrived they turned out to be...

Weather was nice today, seemed like a great day for a range trip. I decided to test some various reloads and compare them with some factory rounds, both in terms of accuracy and velocity. Factory stuff performed great, my reloads were so-so. On a very sad note, on the last load I was testing, I...

Just stumbled onto this article: http://www.shootingtimes.com/ammo/9mm-automatic-better-9mm-cartridge/ Interesting... I've seen "nose dive" but usually only in cases where the bullet was seated a little deeper than it should have been into the brass. I'm not a fan of the taper in the 9mm...

Hey THR, I had another thread going here: http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=803118 But it devolved into a debate about weather or not .308 was a good long range cartridge. So I'm starting a new thread... Anyway, I am working on building an AR-15 in 6.5 Grendel, specially...

So I've decided to give the 6.5 Grendel a try. Just ordered an upper, it should arrive early next week. I wanted a rifle for shooting at 500+ yards to replace (or at least to add to) my current 'long range rifle' (a Ruger No. 1 in .223). More on that in another thread...

I'm thinking about buying and/or building a rifle specifically for shooting at longer ranges. Mainly for fun, shooting at paper or steel targets, not for hunting. I have shot in one "precision rifle" match and enjoyed it, I could picture myself doing it again, and so whatever I buy should...

So I have a Ruger No.1 rifle that I'd like to try shooting at longer distances (500 yards - ish). I want to come up with the more accurate reload with higher BC bullets than what I've been using. Up till now I've just used the same load I developed for my AR15. This load was developed with...

I'm considering buying a new pistol. I know what features I want but I don't know if any one gun combines them all. Wondering if I'm overlooking something... First a little background. I am in my mid-30s, and for almost all of my concealed carry life (about 14 years) I've carried a Makarov...

Feeling a little frustrated, need to vent... So my Dad gave me one of his rifles, it's a Ruger No.1 in .223, made sometime in the late 90s or early 2000s. My Friend gave me a 5-15X40 Bushnell "Legend" scope which I plan to put on the rifle. So I'm pretty pleased seems like a nice setup...

http://www.ruger.com/micros/ammo/index.html?r=y This is some odd looking ammo. What happens if your rifling twists the opposite direction? What does THR think about this stuff?

Here is the story: http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2015/02/18/woman-kills-self-adjusting-bra-holster/23640143/ I always thought these holsters looked like a bad idea... but mainly because they looked uncomfortable, and like the pistol would be difficult to get to / deploy quickly...

I just bought a used weapon light at my LGS. I think I got a good deal but I'm not sure. It looks like a surefire. The attached pic is not one that I took but the light I have looks identical. Can anybody help me ID this thing and let me know what it's approx value might be? Thanks!

Got my first Glock not long ago, a G43 9mm I'm trying to figure out the sight on this thing. If I center the front sight post so that the top of it is level with the top of the rear sight, it cuts off the bottom of the "dot", as seen in the attached image. Is this correct, or should I...

Hello THR, My Dad recently gave me a rifle and I'm trying to get some information about it. Here is what I do know: It's a Ruger number 1 in .223 Remington, blued finish, with wood stock (walnut?) It's got a 24 inch heavy contour barrel My Dad bought it new in the early 2000s...

So I got my new RCBS quick change powder measure in the mail yesterday. I got it to replace my Lee "perfect" measure (the Lee would have been perfect if it didn't leak powder all over the darn place). I was very eager to get the new powder measure assembled and try it out. Long story short, I...

Hello THR, I'm thinking about buying one of those "thin" front sight posts for my AR-15 Looking at this in particular: http://www.midwayusa.com/product/844511/dpms-front-sight-post-square-050-wide-dcm-cmp-ar-15-matte?cm_vc=ProductFinding I'm finding that with the standard post on a carbine...
