I have a basic AR in the safe already, but had been thinking for a while about putting another one together for the fun of it now that prices are settling down. I subscribe to the KISS mindset while still having a appreciation for tastefully executed tricked out tactical builds. I've always...

I've had my sights set on a CZ75B for quite some time. A few weeks ago a local dealer found a matte stainless model. I haven't been seeing them at all locally. So, I overpaid a bit and took possession of it. I shot a couple boxes through it and was pleased, but still needed to work the...

I got a box of Magtech Guardian Gold 9mm +p as a gift. I was wondering if this was a proprietary bullet, or if it is marketed by other ammo manufacturers under a different name. Function through my G17 is perfect so far. As far as carry ammo is concerned, the cavity in the bullet looks...

I'm always poking around for the "ultimate" fixed blade hunting knife. http://www.browning.com/products/catalog/knives/detail-historic.asp?fid=092G&cid=322&tid=745&bg=x I stumbled across this knife and bought one for $68. I'm please with it so far and thought I'd pass on my thoughts...

I've been banging away on my new steel target for a while now and have been very pleased with the results. I got ahold of an asphalt jackhammer bit and threw some white paint on it. So far its been hit with 5.56 M855 penetrator, 7N6 5.45x39 steel core and 7.62x54 Russian. All the steel core ammo...

So I finally made some time to take my new rifle out that I acquired a week ago from a THR member here. I'd had my eyes on this for some time and committed just after the panic ensued. The seller held his last rifle for me at his "pre-panic" price. Nice guy. Anyhow, it's a Waffen Werks AK-74...

I'm only 26 years old, so I was eight years old when the first AWB took effect. I'm curious about how the current overall atmosphere today compares or differs from the atmosphere in 1994. I'm hoping to avoid discussing personal stances on political issues. I am instead more interested in...

Does anyone offer a fiber optic front sight for the old-style GP-100 sight that is pinned into the barrel instead of being dovetailed in like they are in the newer models? A Google search left me high and dry.

Can anyone PLEASE explain why batoning is such a hot topic in the "survival knife" world? I grew up hunting, fishing and backpacking and NEVER had the need to split wood to make a campfire. Small dead branches are extremely plentiful in the forests I'm familiar with. The idea of finding...

I'm an avid knife user and collector. I have somewhat diverse tastes, but do follow some particular guidelines. Obviously, any collector works within his budget constraints. Currently, my budget has kept me to $200 and under blades. I certainly drool over more expensive pieces, but will wait...

Make sure your new loads chamber before loading a whole bunch! I worked up a bunch of different loads for my recently inherited 7mm Remington Mag. I used the discontinued Speer Mag Tip 160 gr. bullet. I got to the range today and found that I could not close the bolt on them. Even though I...

I just handled a CZ 512 semi-auto .22 mag. at the LGS. Neat gun. Looks cool, lightweight, handles nicely. However, I was disappointed with a couple things. First, the bolt does not lock back on empty. Not critical, but something I really like. Second, the safety must be OFF before the bolt...

Is anyone loading 117 gr or 120 gr bullets in the .250 Savage? Just kicking around the idea of a minimum power, relatively quiet, accurate, close/medium range bolt gun for whitetail in populated areas. I like the heavy/slow aspect for the meat damage factor. I process my own meat, and...

I had a fantastic and rewarding end to an elk hunt in a very tough general area in Wyoming. Things were going pretty slow for my camp, but I happened accross a bull track Saturday morning, and after a 15 minute stalk, I caught up to this guy and a couple of cows in a tiny clearing in the timber...

I have long fingers and hate the A2 grip. I desire a longer reach to the trigger. I also hate finger grooves. What's my best option? I've had the Hogue and the basic Ergo, and while the Ergo is slightly better, it just aint right. Do I need a Magpul or what?

I'm pretty new to reloading and am starting with the .44 mag. The gun is a S&W Perf. Center 629 with a 2 5/8" barrel. Obviously I don't expect to propel anything too quickly out of that short of barrel, but I've got a batch of Magtech 240 gr. JSP's and a can of H110. I'm happy to shoot full...

I got rid of the Walther P22 that never gave me a lick of trouble and taught me pistol skills in favor of a Buckmark URX 5.5". Now I'm looking around for a holster with a bit of class to carry it in. Nothing fancy or showy, but something that looks decent and actually fits the gun. Not a big...

A local shop here has a used all-black CZ 75B for sale for $399. I can't tell it from new myself. Not a blemish on it anywhere. How's that price compare? Around her there's not much competition, so prices tend to be on the higher side. Thanks for any input. Oh yea, it comes with one 10-round and...

This might not be quite the right place for this, but I thought it'd be worth a shot. A friend of mine asked me if I could find anything out about a sword he had obtained. I've poked around online for a while and have learned that it is likely a WWII dress sword for a Luftwaffe officer. The...

My local gun store had in two Walther P88s. One was the later "compact" version. Both were immaculate, both were $1,400 and both are pistols I knew nothing about. I read a bit of factual info online but would like to be educated a bit more. Who can help me? Any owners out there?
