    Any experience with WMD Guns Barrels?

    I've been looking for a decent mid-priced 1:8 twist, 16" carbine gas system length barrel for my AR-15 without chrome lining. There are plenty available in mid length, but next to nothing in carbine. One of that appears to be readily available for $206 - $220 depending on finish is by WMD...

    Show us your wall hangers!!!

    This is a Damascus twist Meteor 12 ga SxS shotgun that I recently inherited from my uncle. He is said to have purchased it during his first military leave many decades ago, and it was a favorite of his due to its connection (however distant) to Doc Holliday. I have no idea if he ever fired it...

    Would this Thompson Center Encore setup be an SBR?

    I am seriously thinking that I would like to buy a TC Encore pistol with a 15" .308 barrel. I would like to have the barrel threaded and pin a flash hider / suppressor mount to bring the barrel length over 16" and then put a rifle stock on it to bring the oal above 26". Would this set up...

    Nosler 200gr JHP/2400 .44 Mag Loadbook Recipe?

    Loadbook shows 20.8 minimum to 21.8 grains maximum for this bullet/powder combination. Granted, this is the only reference I have with this exact pairing, but elsewhere in the same book, online, and in my Lyman manual, I am seeing loads as high as 24.0 grains and as low as 19.5 grains of 2400...

    Mass Message to Feinstein

    Her stupid list is out, and I would like to suggest an idea. Would it be possible to rally gun owners and supporters of the Constitution to post individually, one at a time on her Facebook page one simple word: "NO"? Tens of thousands of single word posts showing solidarity in rejecting her...

    Recommended 44 Special Deer Rifle Load

    I'm taking my son out for the Kentucky youth season again in October, and this year I have a Marlin 1894 .44 magnum to bring along instead of my AR15. He is recoil sensitive, and it seems to me that a good 44 special load should be every bit as deer capable as a 44-40 out to 100 yds and a very...

    Number of Registered Suppressors in the USA?

    I was doing a little research into suppressor ownership, and while the ATF publishes the number of suppressors sold in recent years, and the number of registered machineguns seems to be known, I cannot find a number that would represent overall legal suppressor ownership by civilians. Does...

    Best .22 AR Conversion Kit for Use w/ Aguila 60gr Subsonics & Suppressor

    I've taken the plunge and am now waiting on approval for my AAC Pilot 2 suppressor to come in. While I wait, I'm making decisions on what to do about host guns, and came to the conclusion that I would like to buy a .22lr conversion kit for my AR-15. I have a DPMS upper with a 1:7 twist on...

    Pretreatment of baffles with release agents?

    I was just wondering if anyone has ever used a release agent on a .22LR suppressor to ease clean up? PAM cooking spray's active ingredient is polyacrylamide, and it does have some use in industrial applications. I don't know if it would be safe on aluminum, but thought it might make for a very...

    Caspian Frame w/ Parts - What would you do with it?

    I have the opportunity to buy the Caspian frame in the picture below. It appears to to be a basic carbon steel government frame with miscellaneous gun show parts. There are some scratches around a couple of the pins, and I believe it was home assembled. The more I look at it, the more I think...

    CCW and Road Cycling

    After losing about 30 lbs over the winter, I got into road cycling and have been trying to figure out the best way to carry while riding. In the beginning I was carrying my PM9 in an IWB holster, but got tired of it coming home all sweaty every day. This morning I went out for my usual 21...

    Hawken Rifle Barrel Wedge

    I stopped by my favorite pawn shop today and walked out with a good condition Cabela's / Investarm SPA 25060 .50 cal Hawken rifle for $80 out the door. It seemed like a good deal, so I thought I would see how it shoots and if need be, I'll go ahead and buy a Green Mountain barrel for it. The...

    How Do you Protect Your Firearms at Home?

    I'm curious to see how much people are investing in protecting firearms at home from burglars. I know some have multiple cabinets/safes and some hide guns throughout the house, but I am curious what the primary means of protection against theft is. Needless to say, this is an anonymous poll.

    Moral Issues of the NFA

    Apart from the questionable constitutionality of the NFA, I have been seriously struggling with the morality of it all. Can anyone make an intelligent case for imprisonment up to 10 years, loss of personal properties, fines to $10k (and in some cases up to $500k for failure to pay the tax...

    Legal issues for a justified shoot in a "gun free store"

    I've seen lots of discussion on THR about whether people would or wouldn't carry into a store with anti CCW signs. It seems most people say they do carry in "gun free" stores in states where carrying past these signs is only an issue of trespassing if the gun is seen and they refuse to leave...

    I didn't expect $1.36 Per Round?!?

    I've been buying up everything I need to take my new 12 ga Pedersoli SxS to the range this weekend, and I'm reeling from the price shock! Using an online reloading calculator (http://www.trapshooters.com/reloadcalc.htm), I come up with a pre-tax price of $1.28 per round, which takes me up to to...

    Options for muzzleloading turkey guns?

    I'm looking for some reasonably priced options for flintlock or percussion (preferred) shotguns for turkey hunting this spring, and with the CVA Trapper no longer in production and inline guns not an option, it's slim pickin's. Any suggestions on guns I might have missed? Also, it seems...

    Help me build/find an accurized AR-15 carbine!

    So I just ordered an SI Defense stripped lower, and have a complete AR-15 on the brain. After a lot of consideration and reading, I've decided that I want a very accurate rifle for the range and working on my marksmanship (80%) that doubles reasonably well as a reliable SHTF tactical (20%)...

    Recommend Assist Blade for $30-$40 Gift

    I have at least 3 people on my Christmas list that I would like to buy a spring assist knife for this year, and I will be looking to spend in the $30 - $40 range for each - hopefully as as sale price. In all cases it would be an all purpose, daily carry, and/or hunting knife. I'm looking for...
