    Math Problem-.50 Cal Bullet Question

    I am having a bit of an argument with a friend. Here is the question.... Under normal circumstances(average temperature, humidity, conditions), how long would a .50 caliber projectile shot from a Barrett M82 exiting the barrel at 2800 FPS take to travel 2 miles? My friend is trying to...

    How do you afford the things you love?

    I don't think he was asking for some magical way to afford them, but rather, stories of how people have accumulated guns over the years. I could be wrong though.

    Buying My First Rifle? New to Firearms

    While I haven't done much research, I did read that firearms cannot be shipped to someone without a FFL. I have no problem with that. I was more worried about the shipping process to the FFL holder. I was hoping to find a good FTF deal around the Lawton Oklahoma area being that it is a big...

    Buying My First Rifle? New to Firearms

    I'm actually from Austin,TX but I go to school up in Oklahoma. I think I will post up a wanted thread. I think I need to do a little research on how the online buying process works for guns first though. I do plenty of online buying/selling so I'm sure it's not too much different.

    Buying My First Rifle? New to Firearms

    Thank you Wilson3 and 41magsnub As far as working on the gun itself goes, how steep is the learning curve for tearing one apart. I used to play competitive paintball (I realize much different, but there are many similar aspects of how the gun functions) and I did all the work on my gun and I...

    Buying My First Rifle? New to Firearms

    That is good to know. I do have plans of upgrading the stock. I've been told it's as simple as using an allen wrench and some hex keys, but that may have been an understatement. I've been looking for a nice aftermarket stock. The thumb grip stocks are out since I shoot left handed and I have...

    Buying My First Rifle? New to Firearms

    Excellent guys. I appreciate the responses. I wasn't sure how much to expect to pay for a used one as a few of the local pawn shops were selling USED ones for more than new! It does make more sense to buy a new one when the used ones aren't much cheaper. I do want to add that I do have plans to...

    Buying My First Rifle? New to Firearms

    I know this is about as basic as it gets, and in my defense I just spend 20 minutes searching on the site for my answer. I have shot a few rifles before, but aside from that my knowledge is very basic. Heck, 3 months ago I didn't even know what .22lr meant I'm planning on buying my first...
