    Is it okay to store guns in a hot garage?

    Well here in central texas it goes from 100 something down to 75 at 4 am. Plenty of humidity though not as bad as Houston-wink Never seen any rust in my storage unit where my parts, belts and some ammo resides.

    First Trip to a Gun Show

    Try/rent a Glock in 9mm, mdl 17/19/26 at the range and just shoot it, box or two at least. Then give a Sig .380 a try, then back to a 9mm Forget about the funny calibers-.40/357Sig etc for a first gun- You need to learn control and don't need the extra pop or ammo expense. Give it some...

    First time this happened to me at the range

    I agree with everything you said Navy but what good would having your carry gun handy in this set of circumstances? Drawing down on someone at a range seem somewhat imprudent

    Last year I was drinking Crown one night............... Yep, first mistake... "Decided" to go see if I could spot any skunks that had been leaving a bit of stink behind them. Suppressed Ruger+ night vision out the door- Was under a porch on uneven ground (=quite a slope 35 degrees) Well duh I...

    "Ballistol" gun cleaner and lube

    I am sure it is still great stuff. I would like to find a place to buy some here in Austin. I like to have a variety of products when one might have trouble with one applications or another. There are better lubes today but for a cleaner I think it might beat WD-40 by a good margin since its a...

    New Ammo At Wal-Mart ?

    The .223 for .25/rd steel case does not sound like a deal to me in light of recent ads I have seen in that same range for brass ammo- I think CTD was one place.

    Bushmaster Plant Closing

    Shame for the employees. They had a great run at the top for a good while. Reckon there isn't enough demand anymore with the AR pie being so chopped up between the retailers Ruger, S&W, DPMS, Remington....etc....ad naseum

    loose sight rib, any issues?

    That what I was going to suggest- glue/epoxy/JB weld the ribs and use it for a spare and then go get another barrel, perhaps one with chokes so its different

    Benelli shotguns kick too hard?

    Bought a SBE for son in law and a Winchester SX3 2 years ago- Both have their respective recoil absorbing stocks- the SX3 is more like an FN FAL recoil spring setup the tail of the bolt slips into- Gun runs great. He loves his SBE and it doesn't kick him at all till you go to the long shells-...

    Worlds largest gun show

    Its over 10 acres and seem to recall if one walks every aisle its 6 miles. Need 2 days, it is very very crowded and slow going and rather hard to see what is on tables at times. With those using walkers, very overweight folks and wheelchairs etc. make already narrow aisles even more so it is...

    Steel Targets for Handgun

    I was shooting at a new public range with daughter and wife at resettable target setup with 6 round heads and below them a big piece of angle iron/steel. Never had a ricochet- Did see daughter fire and it appeared her shots were hitting waaay low and I realized she had missed the target 3" low...

    AR-10 Buttstock Question

    The carbine stock might indeed be funky on mine which is a 20" I think- Gotta check that- I hardly shoot rifles much over past 8 years- Of course they just built a new 1000 yd range near me now that I have taken up skeet and sporting clays again. Have a Rem. PSS detachable mag in .308 with...

    AR-10 Buttstock Question

    Gotta ask you a question- Why are you going back to fixed stock? Personal preference- I am in the opposite position wanting the collapsible stock on mine- Is this a mistake?

    Thompson cut in half!!

    This thread is a bit of a <deleted -- Sam> for lack of any identifiable specifics- Is he dropping it off for welding as in the receiver needing to be welded together? IF not why is he not doing the welding if he is a 1, 3 6, 7, twice FFL - whatever you were trying to say with all that business

    Well, there's no denying it, I'm hooked...

    I used to be into rifles for years then the ranges dried up in the area. Went and shot Clays in Houston over 2 days blew through more than a case. Glad to hear your happy and addicted too. I am too to all the games- Only done 5 stand once. Then I find a new range started 40 minutes from me. 2...

    Sticker Shock - STI Total Eclipse

    I have one Colt Series 70 to my name and its plenty good enough for me. To each his own I reckon but for myself I have not paid that for a pistol- I have come close a couple of times with a minty P7M8 and a Night Stalker Sig Sauer of which very few were ever made.
