    I just lost a bidding war on gunbroker

    I was bidding on a DPMS 5.56 lower with a RRA trigger and a magpul grip and stock. With 15 minutes left, I had the highest bid and the price was around $500, which is the most I originally wanted to spend. Then, out of the blue, some sneeky snake out bid me! Because I really wanted this...

    Why no instant background check for NFA weapons?

    I just sent off the paperwork for my second NFA weapon (SBR), and it occured to me that there is no logical reason for there to be a 3 month wait for the ATF to determine that its OK for me to have a weapon (which, by the way, has less velocity, less power, and less accuracy then a regular 16...

    NFA tax stamp price rising to $500 in 2009?

    That's what my class 3 dealer told me today. Any truth to this? It's the first I've heard of a price increase...

    Fill in the blank.

    I can hit a one gallon milk jug sized target, on my first attempt, at any range between 100 and _____ yards, with constant winds speeds anywhere between 0 and 15 MPH. Be sure to mention the rifle, scope, and ammunition used.

    Palm pistol for the elderly!

    I'd like a perscription for a handgun please! http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,461928,00.html Even better, Constitution Arms says it's had it certified by the FDA as a "Class I Medical Device." That means doctors could prescribe the handgun to qualified patients, who would then...

    My late night home defense kit:

    Notice I've included hearing protection and sunglasses for those of you that think an AR with a 7.5 inch barrel has too much muzzle blast for home defense... ha ha!:neener:

    Ever regret an expensive firearm purchase?

    Not me... In every case, there is a direct correlation between how expensive the rifle, pistol, or optic is and how much I've enjoyed it. I think with firearms, you almost always get what you pay for.

    Rifles placed on order before a ban?

    I ordered a Noveske rifle 7 weeks ago, at which time they estimated I would have it in 6 weeks. I called them today and they thought it would be another 6-10 weeks. I guess if a ban is passed before I actually receive the rifle, I wouldn't be allowed to get it???

    Least usefull caliber.

    Every caliber has something to offer, and I love them all.... but some seem lacking in one way or another. For me, it's 9mm. I don't own any 9mm pistols or rifles, and have never really enjoyed shooting them. .40 just seems so much better and .45 is awesome, although a little slow. What...

    Leupold Mark 4 owners:

    I have a Leupold Mark 4 (6.5-20 X 50) and I am wondering if 4 clicks on the turret = 1 inch of impact movement at 100 yards or 1.047 inches? So the question is: are these scopes shooters MOA or True MOA?

    Which AR-15 would you choose - Noveske or POF

    For home defence, camping, target shooting and the occasional squirel... I currently have 2 bushmaster AR-15's and 2 DPMS .308's that do alright, but I'm looking to by a really nice AR-15 before they are banned forever sometime next year. Has anyone had any experience with the POF gas...

    Just finished my DPMS 308.

    The last thing it needed was a JP trigger. Everything is quick detatch, so I can convert if from a scoped rifle to a campground/home defense rifle in under a minute.

    S&W 360PD trigger lock malfunction

    I bought a S&W 360PD for concealed carry, so reliability is my prime concern. The only thing I didn't like about this revolver was the silly trigger lock. I figured that I would never use it, and I hoped it would never be a problem. Well, I was wrong. Yesterday at the range, on my second...

    Maximum range for DPMS .308 SASS.

    I've had a DPMS .308 SASS for about 5 months now and was wondering what the maximum range for this rifle is. It has an 18 inch barrel and I have only shot it out to about 400 yards, which is the distance to the farthest berm at my range. Out to that distance it is accurate enough to reliably...

    Wife just applied for her concealed weapon permit.

    I bought her a Smith and Wesson 360PD a couple of years ago with the hope she would apply for a permit and start to carry. She has shot it plenty at the range but it looks like she will be getting more use out of it soon. When we go out, she always asks if I'm carrying. Last time she did, I...
