I would like to know your experiences with any .270 Win. rifles out there... and any other "knowledgeable" input.... I need to buy a new, or kindly used, .270 Win for someone... Would like some input on what to look for, price I should expect to pay, what to avoid... Things like that... It...

My son wants to build a gun.... at first he was thinking from scratch (he's 14 with some wild ideas... lol), but I think I have him convinced that making one from a kit would be a good idea first... We can't find anything aside from some overpriced 1911 kits online... what ever happened to...

Just thought I would toss you guys this one to chew on.... I carry constantly, and I live in a major city in a so-so neighborhood (not the best by a LONG shot, but not the worst either)... I work all over, including the worst neighborhoods... Despite the logic of many around here I DO stop at...

After reading several stories about peoples experiences with self defense... You know, it seems to me that I shouldn't be afraid to tell my story of self defense (actually I have several, but this one was the most 'troubling' to me).... At first there were a lot of police, attorney's, reporters...

I used to have a pillow gun.... that got tiresome (literally) really quick.... I switched to a nightstand gun... in the drawer... that didn't suffice when little ones presented themselves in my life... I switched to a gun in a concealed safe on the nightstand (concealed as an alarmclock...

I just gotta say.... My apologies to those who pack a handgun when rifle hunting.... I used to be one of those guys who thought it was nearly laughable to carry a handgun when hunting with a rifle (I have hunted with a handgun before)... It just didn't add up.... why bother carrying a side arm...

The man cub (my son) needs a shotgun for basic hunting and or some skeet, whatever. Might go for some Goose or Ducks, but mostly Grouse. Sadly I haven't found any 'wow what a deal' deals on shotguns around here.... This is what I have found so far that seems worthwhile... keep in mind that...

I sure would appreciate some input here guys..... Just need to clear something up that I have some question about. Lets pretend that there is a shotgun in IA for sale that someone wants to purchase in MN. Can the Seller send the gun to the Buyer direct? (without an FFL transfer or going...

Been reloading for what seems forever.... well over 20 years... Started small (Lee hand dies) and moved up and up and up... now running a Dillon 550, Lee Turret and a MEC shotshell loader.... I never got into loading shot much, just basically set it all up years ago, cranked out some basic...

I'll give it to you that this was nothing like a scientific study, but a buddy of mine had a discarded Interceptor, Ballistic Panel, Groin Protector (standard current military issue ballistic panel with no trauma plate)... Soooo.... we decided to shoot it with a combination of 9mm JHP +P+, 9mm...

I have a 6 year old pure bred Black Lab that I am taking care of for my buddy while he serves another tour in Iraq. He would be glad if I would take the dog out hunting, and I would be glad if he would help. This dog was taken as a pup and trained for birds.... I don't know much about how...

I am just wondering what you guys have found that works well for you for a nice hot .357 load for a top quality gun... in my case, a S&W 686 6" brl. I want something that hits hard and is pretty accurate (no sense dumbing down the gun).... I have tried several different loads over the years...

A friend of mine found a .380 handgun, unloaded, in a case, with 2 magazines completely full of ammunition in a semi-public place (the common area of the storage area of an apartment building he maintains, under a pile of junk that has been there for years). He is over 21 with no felonies. What...

Can anyone here cite the laws regarding having a firearm on Postal Property? It is my understanding that it is a Federal offense to carry your gun, permit or not, into the Post Office. (correct me if I am wrong here) It is also my understanding that there is some issue as to whether the...

Little background first.... or jump to the pertinent part below the line ________ Been a reloader for ~20 years... mostly pistol, but some rifle and shotshell as well... I have a nice set-up with a friend. Combined we have a nice old Lee Turret Press, a shotshell press (can't recall brand- the...

Can anyone tell me if my Utah Non-Resident CCW permit is valid while I travel in North Dakota? I would also like to know the other states I can legally carry a firearm in.... Please post a link if possible.... not that I don't trust netformation... lol

Lets start this out with a little background.... I grew up with all kinds of guns, hunting, and living in the deep woods in Northern MN. I feel comfortable with any handgun less than a .50 (I hate those things). We have an area called the BWCAW (Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness), that I...

I have been reloading for about 20 years. I started with a Lee hand reloader for .357 mag. (the kind where you actually hammer on the dies!) on to the "nut cracker" style single stage, and have since moved on to a couple of different single stage setups, a progressive shotshell press and a...

Interesting article I just heard on NPR about the "facts" regarding "90% of the guns seized in Mexico are from the US" that the president and others are touting. The article was pretty balanced it seemed.... and it would seem the numbers are actually slanted *awe*... It would seem that the...

It's been a while since I've reloaded 9mm and I don't have my manuals where I am.... could someone tell me if I should use "Small Magnum Pistol" primers or simply "Small Pistol" primers for loading some +P 9mm (probably with AA7 since that is what I have around)
