    Poor manners...

    I was at a public outdoor range today... :rolleyes: Setup, shoot. I'm sighting in my new CZ-527 in .223, my friend is sighting in a Rem 700 in .308. Pleasant time being had by all. On one end, there's a dad training his son on the finer points of long distance shooting out of an AR style...

    Top shot sub thread, sort of.

    While I don't care for the drama and the editing that creates it, nor do I care much for the over-all setup of the show, but I really like some of the shooting events. The question to ponder is how much commercial interest there would be in setting up events like that for YOU to shoot. Some...

    In Local News...

    A man confronted burglars in his home, stealing guns. This is just down the road from me, and further support for why I keep guns either on my person or around the house within easy reach. Link to video. Look at the time on that. 8:40 in the morning. Criminals appeared to know what they...

    Recommended scope rings

    CZ 527 Varmint, Walnut, (.223 if that matters). Mounting a 3x12x42SF Nikon Monarch. Any recommendation on rings from those that have one or both of the above? As much information as you are willing to put in, even if it is just the name, size. I know that CZ bolts have some issues with end...

    Business courtesy?

    I contacted the manager of a new, small LGS about what his FFL fees were. We talked for a bit, as we have a few mutual acquaintances (the reason I went there), and he asked that the next time I was looking to buy to give him a chance. I was pretty clear when we talked that I knew he would...

    Update to prevent a Zombie thread

    This post described a terrible piece of manufacturing. After a long time of sitting around waiting to get chopped up, I decided to see if I could clean it up. Polished feed ramps. There was something on there, some poly type coating and some lumps that were causing feed problems...

    Dumb question

    Dumb question now moved to a more appropriate, though possibly still not the correct forum. Can a barrel for a handgun be shipped to me without going through an FFL? I can't seem to find anything definite. Some parts are yes, some are no, and I don't really see a big difference.

    Crack in the frame?

    What do you do for a crack in the frame on a 1911? The crack goes from the lower corner of the trigger groove on the right side at the rear of the gun and proceeds out almost a half an inch. As far as I can tell, that is the weakest/thinnest part of the frame. And I'm assuming the gun isn't...

    Springfield 1911-A1

    Nevermind. Where's the delete button?

    Hardening your interior walls.

    This kind of came out in the generalist/specialist thread response in general. I was nice and left that on topic and put this here, where it kind of belongs. On a funny note (not that it was funny at the time, I was furious), my wife set up someone to watch the house, feed the cats, etc...

    Touchy subject

    Ok, so, like I said this is a touchy subject. I'm in the military, E-7. Today, for the second time, I have been sent to collect firearms from a student who said that they were going to "hurt themselves". The first student left the command without contacting me again to get his dad's gun...

    Grip Angle thoughts

    Ok. This is not to start a flame war, this is an honest question because I don't see the grip angle issue the same way everyone else sees it, I think. A lot of people talk about grip angles being a deciding factor on whether they like a gun or not. The way 'my daddy taught me' was to take a...

    Had to share this...

    It's a link to evilmilk. For entertainment, I browse random pictures that I send to people, usually inappropriately. I have across this picture, and I wondered if anyone had any idea what this gun is. It appears to be a three shot 22LR revolver. Just extremely tiny.

    Newbie Shooters

    Moral: Just because she is a lady and new to shooting, please look at the size of the hands compared to the size of the gun for new shooters. It made a huge difference when they shot a larger frame gun. Moral first due to Wall of Text. I got off early today, and the wife and kids were out...

    XD9 ammo choice

    Looking for recommendations for my wife's new XD9. Not sure what it likes, would appreciate input. Two different options, range fire and HD. (HD is the reason I got it for her, well made her get it, but you get the point.)

    Recommend a scope for CZ 452

    Looking for recommendations for a good optic for a CZ452 that should be in later this week :) My 'I made Chief' present to myself. Anyway, looking for a good scope under $300. Plan on shooting 100 yards, mostly bench. I am not into hunting, much, so this would just be a target toy. Mostly...

    Downloadable manuals

    Found this on a not gun site(EHOWA, not safe for work or wife, for the record) a few weeks ago, figured I would post it. They had all of the manuals for my guns. Give it a whirl. I used it while cleaning last weekend when I couldn't find mine to take down the firing pin assembly in my SIG...

    Frustration

    I was recently turned down from purchasing a firearm, mostly because people in the store lack knowledge of the state law for purchase of a firearm in the state of SC. I tried to reason sweetly with them, but they did not have any interest in making a quick sale. I have purchased several firearms...

    Which 1911?

    I think I have narrowed it down to three different ones, but before I drop the cash, I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on the three that I have narrowed down to. To be honest, I didn't notice any significant difference in any of them handling them. (No, I have not shot them, though I...

    Social encounter...

    So what do you say to a guy picking your brass up about as soon as it hits the ground? Just showed up on an outdoor range today, no kidding was firing through my first magazine and some guy was already there picking up my brass. I have had guys ask me if I cared before (before ammo was so hard...
