    Long Range Shooting Ranges in MO or KS?

    So Google turns up nothing on "Long Range Shooting Ranges in MO/KS". I've had my rifles sighted to 100 yards, been there, done that, bought the T-Shirt. I've even got the sights marked as to where the perfect setting is for 100 yards. But shooting the same range over and over again is boring...

    What's so great about AR-15's anyway?

    I know there are plenty of AR-15 fanatics here. But no matter how much I read about accuracy, customization, light-weight, size, and range, I can't figure out what on earth the AR-15 is GOOD for. You can't hunt with a .223/5.56x45 in most states (I'm pretty sure its still Missouri and Kansas...

    Lever Action Question!

    I was watching Shooting USA on the outdoor channel two or so days ago when they had a segment on Western 3-Gun Shooting. For those who don't know, its kind of like Cowboy action shooting, save that now you use a wheel-gun, lever-action rifle, and "western" era style shotgun. The lever-actions...

    The: "Who is selling cheap rifles thread"?

    Seeing as it's "The Panic" still, I've been looking around for any online or store-based retailer of rifles and pistols for under $400 dollars. I was hoping we could all look around and scrounge up any and every retailer still trying to sell at honest prices. Note: To keep this from being...

    When will prices go back to normal?

    When I bought my Saiga 7.62x39 in September, it was $324.00 . Add the scope and rail and it all came to $417.~~ (something cents). So today when I walked into Showmeshooters Inc. in Claycomo, Missouri, the same rifle, with the same barrel, with the same action, in the SAME SPOT I found mine...

    6.8 SPC Effective Range?

    I've been looking at some 6.8 SPC AR uppers for awhile now. What is the effective range of a 6.8SPC cartridge? I need something that could take deer at 200-300 yards.

    M1A, out-of-the-box Accuracy?

    I've actually had a hard time googling for this. Apparently no one is in agreement as to whether or not the M1A is an accurate rifle. I've seen sites that say its 1/2 MOA, MOA, to "your lucky to hit anything at all". So what about you High-Roaders? Do the people here have a consensus on this...

    Painting/Refinishing metal?

    I'm looking at an SKS. It's generally a nice rifle, and it's priced right. But of course, it has some flaws. It's got scratches up and down the receiver cover. It also has a little rust on the fixed magazine. How could I fix those two problems? I've never worked on metal before, so...

    Trading rifles with someone in another state?

    I've got an old Mini-14 I just bought (steal at $380 dollars). It's not in the best shape, but it functions and makes nice 5~"-6~" groups (for something about as old as I am that's great). This was enough to attract a guy from across the river in Kansas who offered me a NEW 10/22! Hence my...

    How can you tell if an SKS Barrel is Chrome-Lined?

    I found a "Norinco" SKS at a shop today. The owner says its a Norinco. But it has a synthetic stock and it's missing its bayonet. I couldn't find any numbers on it save the serials. How can I tell if the barrel has been chrome-lined? Don't say "because its a Norinco", because given its lack...

    You know Ruger has gone mad when...

    The retail price of a Ruger Mini-6.8 is over $900.00 For that price, I KNOW I can get an AR from J&T, and save money!

    Reloading 10mm auto?

    Found a good Tanfoglio Force at a shop today in 10mm auto. I know its a hard-kicking handgun, but when its only $400 for a 10mm auto, its a steal. Problem is that 10mm auto is rare. Really rare. Buying it online is just about my only option and that is expensive (I found a box of twenty on...

    Kel-Tec SU-16 in another caliber?

    http://www.kel-tec-cnc.com/survey/?survey=2 I personally think that the Kel-Tec SU-16 in another caliber is one of the best idea's out there. A guy at the range (Jeff) was cracking off some Wolf .223's at 100 yards with the SU-16C series today and was making some good 3" groups. He let me have...

    Reloading 7.62x39.

    I heard that, for better accuracy and performance, reloading a 7.62x39 can be a good deal. Some have told me that unless your buying Wolf ammo (or similar cheap-o ammo), reloading can be cheaper on a per-bullet basis. So having never re-loaded a 7.62x39 before, how would you do it? Any...

    Need advice on my Saiga.

    First thing, don't suggest an AR, I'd have gotten one if I had the money. Well, I've tried everything and I'm convinced those of you who can hit paper with an AK are lucky. I just tried American Eagle (their FMJ and SP), Remington (two different kinds), Winchester, and Silver Bear and nothing...

    Fixing the ejection of spent cartridges.

    I own a Saiga in 7.62x39. Every time I take it to the range, it always kicks out a spent cartridge a good 7-10 feet from where the gun was fired. This has resulted in several fellow shooters expressing their anger at me and my gun. I can't blame them, I know I'd hate it if someones shells kept...

    Price of a Ruger minus the panic?

    I've been thinking of trading in my Saiga for a Ruger Mini-14 for a little while now. That was until I went to Great Guns in Kearney, MO, and Showmeshooters in Claycomo, MO. $698!!! $698 dollars!!! And its a MINI-14! I'm not really stepping up in the accuracy department with a Mini-14, but...

    Rock Island Armory .45 questions.

    If you have seen my posts in revolvers and general handguns, you know I've been looking for a cheap revolver and a good brand of that. Well, when looking for local dealers today, I found one had a "Rock Island Armory" in .45 ACP. It looks and operates just like a Colt M1911A1, except it had...

    Looking for Missourian with Mini-30

    I was told that I'd get more meaningful responses here, so I'll try again. I've been hearing far to many differing views on the difference between the Ruger Mini-30 and Saiga 7.62x39 to come to a conclusion which is superior. So, I'm looking for ANYONE in the Kansas City, Missouri area who...

    Good revolver for a newbie?

    I asked in the general handguns section and they directed me to you guys. So, I'm moving up from an old .22 revolver. Whats a cheap, easy to maintain and accurate model? If its a .38 something, should I look for one that can shoot both .38s and .357s?
