    Pointed Bullets in a Lever gun....

    I know a man who is missing the ends of three of his fingers from exactly what you are talking about. Kent Lomont of Lomont Precision Bullets in Idaho. http://www.klomont.com/ He was shooting a tube magazine rifle with pointy tipped rounds and the recoil set off ALL the rounds in the tube...

    Wife has trouble racking slide

    I have large hands and lots of experience with semi-autos but also gave up on .380s because of the difficulty I had in pulling back the slide. I had a Beretta 85, sold it and got an 84 with tip up bbl. Still not a user friendly gun, in my opinion. Finally settled on twin, ported .357 S&W 649s...

    Steel core ammo ban

    I was an FFl back when the ATF sent out a memo about how the steel core Norinco ammo could no longer be sold by dealers. Regular citizens can still buy and sell it in the free states. Mike D.

    Grumble.... Butler creek and Leupold

    I couldn't find the exact covers for mine either. I finally called Leupold and they told me the model number to order. Called Butler Creek to verify and then started shopping. Worked out perfectly. Mike D.

    THR Shoot n' Greet - Staunton, VA

    Sorry my 10/22 kept jamming so much. I will bring better mags in November. I remembered to bring my camera but forgot to take any pictures... My friend Andy and his wife enjoyed shooting. Their two daughters asked questions about the guns on the trip home so I guess they weren't completely...

    THR Shoot n' Greet - Staunton, VA

    Full Auto Toys I have a full auto Ruger 10/22 and a 9mm UZI. I will let others shoot the 10/22 occasionally. I don't trust other people's ammo in my UZI, especially reloads - nothing but problems in a open bolt. Mike D.

    THR Shoot n' Greet - Staunton, VA

    First Timer Questions I am going to be there from Leesburg. Full auto is OK, right? (Judging by the above-referenced video, I'm thinkin' yes.) Is it OK to shoot at target thrown out on the ground like plastic soft drink bottles filled with water? Should I bring a folding table? Can I...

    How many of you have shot something more than a paper target at the range.

    My wife and I were the sole shooters of this car. When we started, it had glass and the hood was shut. The engine and gas tank had been removed. We did most of the damage with about 12K rounds of .308 from the 1919A4, 5K rounds from an AK, and about 2K rounds from a 10/22, all full auto...

    question for northern VA residents: relocation and new laws

    "One nice thing you may find: I'm told that Loudoun (can't speak for Prince William) will notify you shortly before your CCW expires, essentially giving you a heads up ahead of time." My wife and I live in Loudoun county and haven't been notified. We've had a CHP since the first month they...

    Where to get ? .22lr tracer for a good price

    I have experience with lots of different kinds of tracers and this stuff works great: http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/AMM008-5.html I haven't bought it from CTD but that seems like a good price to me. I am endorsing that particular brand, though. Mike D.

    Anything worth seeing in Fredericksburg VA?

    "(I'm possibly buying the gun from Stockman Sporting Goods through Combat Solutions)" I bought directly from Stockman at his FFL office in an office building. I did the whole deal over the phone and via email with him directly. I knew what I wanted and avoided the markup of a gun shop...

    Anything worth seeing in Fredericksburg VA?

    I bought an AAC Evo-9 suppressor from Doug Stockman directly as a VA resident. Why do you want to go through a gun store? Mike D.

    has anyone ever been hit by a bullet ricochet?

    I had a jacket from a .308 or something about .30 cal hit me in the coat and stick in the fabric at Knob Creek once. I also had a .45 bounce off a RR tie and hit me in the chest. It kinda thumped but didn't hurt. One of my .22s bounced out of what we think was a dent in a swinging steel...
