    Bud's Gunshop mystery 5906s

    Hey everyone. I was scrolling through Buds yesterday and noticed that they had some S&W 5906s in stock. What is curious is the price point: just north of 700, when alot of police trades go for much less. The description says these are new, and may have been display guns. The description offers...

    Planning a persuasive speech

    Mods: If this is the wrong area, please feel free to move. Greetings everyone, I am doing a persuasive speech for a college class in favor of the second amendment and against any further gun control measures. I've found some great sources, like the department of justice statistics, and I...

    Carrying in NC on a UT non-resident permit

    I was wondering if I can legally carry in NC, as an NC citizen, with a Utah non-resident permit? I know NC has reciprocity with UT, but I don't want to get hung up on a technicality. I got the permit when I lived in Utah, and since I moved to Korea, I updated the address of the permit to my home...

    Occasional 1911 hiccup

    The past two times I brought my Kimber to the range, it had a weird failure to eject. The first time was shooting the rest of my dirty handloads (4.5 grains bullseye under a 230 grain LRN bullet), and it was well into the second box of fifty. The second time, I was at the indoor range with a...

    My debate with an anti

    This happened on facebook of all places. A friend of mine posted that she had just seen Bowling for Columbine, and asked if anyone had any thoughts on it. Here's pretty much how the whole thing went down. Names have been changed. Crow1108 Yes. I don't believe gun control makes for a safer...

    Sweet's in a chrome-lined bore?

    I was reading somewhere that ammonia-based cleaners aren't good to use in chrome-lined barrels. Seeing as Sweet's 7.62 is only 5% ammonia, is it safe to use in my AR's bore? I've primarily used it in my pistols (my 1911 and my Glock), but if it isn't okay to use on my AR, what would you guys...

    1911 questions

    I'm not as well-versed on the 1911 as some of ya'll, so I figured I'd ask (looking to save up my pennies while I am in Korea and Japan and buy something nice for myself when I get back (PCS'ing in November)). Is their 1991 model a series 70 or series 80? I know their sell a series 70. Are their...

    Got my AR put together, with a story. (56K beware)

    Already posted this at zombiehunters.org, but haven't shown you guys yet (for those of you who don't frequent that forum). Well, as I posted in a previous thread, I had ordered an MRP railed upper directly from LMT. Since it was a 5 month wait, I found m-aparts.com had them in stock, so...

    Ordered my new upper!

    Went with this. http://www.lewismachine.net/product.php?p=57&cid=8&session=d544ee9eb3e54a9c27f878bc61a5a51f With the 16" chrome lined bbl. Pics and review in 4-6 months (according to their service department) :(. How are they usually on estimated shipping dates vs. actual?

    ar15-kits.com

    I was originally going to get a gas piston upper, but the majority of the threads here and at arfcom kind of steered me away from it.I'm in the market for a flat top upper receiver with a 16" bbl with a railed gas block, and either selling or mothballing my A1 upper. I was wondering if anyone...

    Favorite 9mm Carry Ammo

    I was wondering what 9mm ammo you guys like to carry? I'm looking for something that is reasonably controllable, but will expand and penetrate well also. Thanks!

    You guys are gonna think I'm crazy...

    Guess I finally gave in to the call of the Kool-Aid :D Well, I haven't brought my Sig out to the range in about a year (been practicing with my 1911 almost exclusively...it's alot more accurate), and got the hankering for a smaller auto for summer carry, so sold the Sig, ammo, holsters, and...

    M&P 9mm

    Thinking about picking up a 9mm. I shot a buddy's M&P during a trip to the range, and I fell in love with it. I was wondering how the reliability is with them, and what problems (if any) you guys who own them have had with yours?

    Comp-tac question

    I'm looking at getting a new concealment holster for my Sig. I currently have a De Santis tuckable that I feel sits way too low for me to draw my gun in a timely fashion (the grip rests a little below my belt line), and I'm looking at the Comp-tac minotaur holsters. I like the fact that I can...

    Walther P22 Suppressor package

    I'm toying with the idea of buying one of the P22 Suppressor packages from Impact Guns (http://www.impactguns.com/store/product2296.html). Anyone have any experience with one of these? If so, how do you guys like them? Thanks.

    1911 Detail Stripping

    I was wondering how often you guys detail strip your 1911s? Is there a specific amount of ammo/time that passes, or is it more of a "whenever I feel like it" kind of thing?

    Dented barrel?

    While cleaning my 1911 a few days ago, I noticed that the bore seems slightly dented under the barrel lugs. It isn't EXTREMELY noticeable, but I was wondering if this was commonplace with 1911s?

    AR-15 A1 rear site question.

    My Bushy has an A1/C7 upper receiver. Something that's irked me since day one is the fact that the rear site aperture has 2 holes, but they are both the same size. Is this a manufacturing defect, or do the A1 style uppers come like this? What is the purpose of having 2 same-sized holes for the...

    Lee Factory Crimp Die

    Took ya'lls suggestion and went out and picked up a Lee FCD (thanks btw :D). I was wondering what ya'll crimp to for those of you that reload for ARs? On the 20 rounds I made yesterday, the crimp (at the case mouth) seems to be .236. The crimped area of the case is very well-defined. Too...

    Crimping for AR

    Began reloading some rounds for my AR. I'm using 25.5 grains of Varget with a Hornady 55gr FMJ-BT bullet (one of the 100 round Midway bulk-pack deals), and a CCI 400 primer. I was wondering if a roll crimp is advised, and if so, what do you guys usually crimp your rounds to? Thanks!
