I rarely see a divide of opinion concerning firearms use and safety among our members that can be attributed to age. We have a diverse membership but I have no idea what our average or median age is. IMO, it tilts towards the grey hairs but then a specific topic comes up and I realize that there...

Hi, I have an older scope that I cannot find any info on. It is an older Winchester brand 3x9x40 but I cannot find anything very helpful as to the quality and value. It seems to be made by Vanguard for Winchester but I have not confirmed that. Anybody here know anything about this scope? Is it a...

I have a sight that I cannot identify. I know the collective wisdom here can figure out what I have. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

I found this to be a good description of what went on and is going on within the NRA. Considering it is from MSN makes it even more interesting.... at least to me. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/how-wayne-lapierre-survived-a-revolt-at-the-nra/ar-AAGbW5E?li=BBnb7Kz&ocid=wispr

I found a 1911 .45ACP barrel with some proof marks I cannot identify. I know that this forum has a plethora or knowledge. Any idea? Thanks.

I recently purchased a 1911 magazine in 38 Super for an Officer's (compact) grip. Long story short, it took a month to get and when I got it, it would not fit into the magwell. Not even close. It would not fit in a government size .45ACP either. I am enclosing some pictures to see if anyone here...

I've bought from Sarco for many years. They have never been the fastest shipper but they've always come thru. They have a system that works for them. Once they process the order, they send it to the warehouse for shipping. It usually takes 1-2 days from getting to the warehouse (they send an...

Rule #1 is rule #1 for a reason. Every time you pick up a gun you assume it is loaded until you verify it is not loaded, yourself. Even if you saw someone else check before it was handed to you, you still check. Why? It's a muscle memory kind of thing to just automatically check.... every time...

This is an interesting article on the newest topic of super gun owners. I'm guessing a majority of the people who regularly post here are super gun owners. However, the stats still seem to be way off and I don't think that the MSM or .gov really knows how many guns are out there. Threads posted...

http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/video-shows-armed-suspects-surprised-by-gun-shooting-home-owner/vi-BBwyjaE?ocid=wispr It's nice to see good triumph over evil. It's on the NBC News feed, which surprised me. I like the NRA commercial showing a break in and the woman grabbing a gun from her...

I don't know about you guys, but I've been in a lot of local gun stores (big & small) and everywhere I went it was very busy. I mean busy. Personally, I purchased anything/everything I've wanted to fill out my collection (acquisitions) before Nov hits. I've also prepared for an attack on ammo...

Mods, if this appeared elsewhere, please post a link and close this one. http://nationalreport.net/hillary-consider-naming-obama-supreme-court-2016-win/ Link to a scary scenario of IF Hillary gets elected, she'll appoint Obama to the SC if an opening appears. Now, we all know his feelings...

Here's some numbers of gun sales/ownership that I found interesting: http://www.cnbc.com/2015/12/03/americas-gun-business-by-the-numbers.html?__source=xfinity|mod&par=xfinity I didn't notice any media bias, which I found refreshing.

It seems that our youth are very troubled. What is the root cause of all of this? http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/four-california-students-arrested-high-school-shooting-plot-n438316

Hi, brand new to air guns. I just moved and I have a back yard where I can shoot my pellets off my back deck. This means easy and fun trigger time. I've put about 100 pellets thru it so far and it's been fun and I find the accuracy acceptable. I have some questions since I am new to to the air...

http://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2016-election/after-oregon-shooting-kasich-opposes-gun-control-n437471 Wow, a politician said it and then it was published by the media. Are pigs now flying and I missed it?

Interesting article by NBC News about aging and guns. I know we have a lot of 70+ and 80+ members here so a number is not the right way to draw a line. However, if dad or grandpa is becoming infirm and "forgetful" to a serious degree, is it up to us to take their guns or is it something that can...

As the title shows, my wife is considering a move to work at the VA in Durham. This would mean a move to the proximinity of the VA campus. Any suggestions of the more gun friendly areas and how is the gun climate in NC and the Durham area? Thanks for any help. The info will help me decide if...

I know that when I buy a gun, I like to go used. It's for many reasons but price is a good reason to get more gun for the money (IMO). There are a lot of barely shot used guns out there and many times the price is too good to pass up. Some new gun aren't available used (yet) so do you get a new...
