Found a deal online that seems to good to be true. 500 rnds of British XM855 for $120. Is there something wrong with British 5.56 ammo? Marked as discontinued by manufacturer. I read that some was downloaded for the Brit's rifles, but the 855 should be up to US spec, right? Product...

My Mini-14 is done with its sabbatical and is again out of the safe. Before I buy some surplus 5.56x45mm ammo, I need to know if 5.56 ammo is safe to use in my .223 Rem? My Mini-14 manual and a book by Duncan Long says firing 5.56mm in my Mini-14 is OK, but SAAMI...

I need to find a new stock for my long action Remington 700. I'm trying to stay away from the factory white spacers and glossy black endcap look. I like the looks of the newer CDL stocks, or even plain-jane walnut without the endcap is fine by me. It's for a hunting rifle that will continue...

I recently moved from South Dakota to North Dakota, and remembered that I need to change the address on my C&R License. Negotiating the ATF website wasn't fruitful, so I thought I'd ask here. How do I change the address for my C&R license, and what form(s) do I need to fill out? Links would...

The North Dakota Highway Patol is looking at getting new handguns. They currently have S&W 4506's. Needs/wants are: DA or DAO semi-automatic .40 or .45 caliber adjustable grip styles (e.g. change mainspring housings or grips to fit individual hands) night sights prefer larger capacity...

I have a C&R FFL, and will be moving. I'm trying to find the proper form to notify the BATFE of my address change, but my C&R info is unavailable to me. I tried searching the ATF website, but I couldn't find what I was looking for.

As part of my training at the ND LE Training Academy, I get sprayed with OC. :D Are there any hints/tricks to alleviate the aftereffects? I've been told that milk will help neutralize the burning. Any other ideas?

I'm training to be a trooper for the North Dakota Highway Patrol, and this is week 6 of 22 at the Law Enforcement Training Academy in Bismarck. Our sergeant posed a question for us to answer by any and all means necessary, and I thought perhaps the minds at THR would have an answer (or at least...

Big Question: Do I need to lube lead bullets that I load in my .45 ACP cases? Background: I'm not new to reloading, but I am new to reloading with lead bullets. I've reloaded jacketed rifle bullets for years, but haven't reloaded for my pistols yet, and want to get going. Am I going to need...

I've been offered a position with the North Dakota Highway Patrol as a State Trooper! I had applied in both North and South Dakota, and I got a call Friday from the Major in ND telling me that I am in. I've spent the past five years teaching high school mathematics, which I enjoy, but I'm...

The Sportsman's Guide is selling newly manufactured 6 round magazines for the Schmidt Rubin K31 in 7.5 Swiss. I have yet to order any, so I can't comment on workmanship. They are $60, but would beat the heck out of steel reinforced cardboard chargers. (For $40 more, I could get another K31.)...

I don't know if this was posted already. It happened where I grew up. http://www.crosbynd.com/journal/news/headline_1.htm By Cecile Wehrman A Crosby man died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound Christmas night following an 8-hour stand-off that included an exchange of shots. Divide...

Anybody know what the blazes a "Chase the Hole" shooting technique is?? I was doing a search on pistolsmith Terry Tussey, and got this article on Steven Segal, stating that he uses this technique. Keeping opinions of the actor at a minimum, is this a real technique...

My wife recently bought a Walther P22. She took it out for it's first range session, and after only 100 rounds, we found we had a problem. A roll pin near the manual safety tends to work it's way out through the left side, just enough so the safety can be engaged, but cannot be put back on to...

In my mailbox yesterday, I got a big envelope from NRA, containing a picture of Charlton Heston. The included letter stated that the NRA was using "Liberty Points" (or something like that, I'm at work and I wish I would have brought it with) for specific actions you take with the NRA, such as...

I don't normally hang out in the "shotguns" section so forgive me if this is old news, but I was driving home last night and thought: Why do shotgun shells come 25 to a box, but clay pigeons only come in boxes of 90? Wouldn't boxes of 100 make more sense? :p

In a recent firearms publication (the name eludes me at the moment), I read that Thunder Ranch, the famous firearms training facility in Texas, will be closing. 2004 will be the last full year. It seems that Clint Smith, the director, wants to do more face to face teaching and less...

Here is a timeline for the history of firearms. It has the dates when concealed carry for states became effective. http://www.ktc.com/personal/larnold/tlineevent_1.html#189 http://www.ktc.com/personal/larnold/tlineitem_1.html I thought it was pretty cool to check out.

Anybody use www.the-armory (dot) com? I'm looking at buying some ammunition online, and I was wondering if anybody has used www.the-armory (dot) com? I'm looking for 500 rounds of UMC .45 230gr FMJ. With shipping, I can get it from www.cheaperthandirt.com for $105.89, but they are sold out...
