    Sources for Chicago Guns laws

    Thanks for all the help. It does seem like almost more trouble than its worth. I need to wait to hear back from the schools I have applied to, but two of the three are in the Chicago area. University of Chicago Divinity School, Wheaton Graduate School (yeah, i know, they are on two completely...

    Sources for Chicago Guns laws

    The start of the next school year, I'm probably going to end up in the Chicago area (yeah, yeah, I hear the collective groan) for graduate school. I currently live in OH and own several firearms (a 9mm and an AR15 among them). I've done some brief searching for IL and Chicago guns laws, but all...

    Favorite TV Show Featuring Guns?

    Not that Firefly needs another fan on THR, but I'll add my unwavering support. Also: Lost (even had a Mosin Nagant) Battlestar Galactica for some nice CX4 Storm action and its not technically a TV show....but Please tell me someone else is a fan of Red vs. Blue!

    I must confess, the AR-15 platform confuses the heck out of me

    I was in the same position about a year and a half ago. Assembling the lower was easier than expected (but i did lose one of those pesky detent pins). Definitely go with an assembled upper, unless you are planning on building many ARs. I REALLY wanted a 16inch barrel with midlength handguards. I...

    Info/Price Check on Bolt Shotgun

    Last year I inherited this shotgun from my father. I also inherited a handgun which I am keeping. I have a lot of memories from the handgun but nothing really for the shotgun. My safe is getting crowded, so I was thinking about selling it but I don't really know much about it. Its probably not...

    Remington 870 with ACOG

    It says 'ACOG Reflex sight'. Probably just mixed up ACOG and Trijicon. Simple typo. Look on trijicon's website to see the different products.

    Picking out a lightweight AR upper

    I was actually just going through the same decision myself. Had a RRA midlength, but thought it was a bit heavy and didn't balance very well for me. I wanted that exact same CMMG upper myself, but being a college student, money is a huge issue for me, and so I went with an M4 profiled barrel and...

    Damaged Bore. Any options for me?

    I have a Berse FS22, which has been great for me so far. Put well over a thousand round through it so far, and its been solid, accurate, and reliable. But now, from a series of unfortunate events (mixed in with some of my stupidity) has resulted in a damaged bore near the muzzle end. Anyway, i...

    Shotguns in the movies

    The Punisher. Uses a SxS near the beginning when his family is attacked, then I think he cuts it way down so its almost a pistol.

    GLOCKS vs. XDs

    XD would be my choice, for purely subjective reasons. Ergonomics are much better for me personally, and so is the trigger. I like the steel magazines too. Glocks have that great tennifer finish though. Glocks are fine guns, I just shoot crappy with them.

    Recommendation for 'Homeland Defense' rifle

    I really like the VEPR K, but one thing I'm worried about is weight. I'm a pretty skinny guy and I want something that isn't going to be too difficult to lug around alot. I would like to have an AR, but in all honesty I don't trust myself when it comes to building things. I am quite inept at it.

    Recommendation for 'Homeland Defense' rifle

    I already own a Mauser and a Mosin-Nagant, plus a ruger 10/22 and a few handguns. But now I need to fill in the niche for 'Homeland Defense'. I have no problems with the AR15, though i'm a bit picky with them. But that doesn't matter because I only have about 500 dollars to spend, so they are...

    whats your favorite caliber

    9x19 - Cheap to shoot (great for college students), tons of wonderful pistols chambered for it (too many to choose from!), and effective with quality JHPs Of course, who could not love the .45ACP? Especially with the 1911, Sig P220, and CZ97...... and the 10mm - just wish they...

    Mosin Nagant bolt problem

    Thanks for all the help. I smacked it open with a rubber mallet. Cleaned out the bolt, and am going to try to clean out all the lacquer from the chamber. Thanks again.
