I've been looking all morning and cannot find a designation for what the official target is that's used in the CMP Service Rifle matches. Anybody have an idea?

Ok this thread is kind of a general survey. If it were just a repair thread I'd have thrown it into the handgun forum. I'm curious in general if this has happened to anyone else and what caused or might cause it to happen. Also how do I prevent it happening again? I have a S&W 22A pistol that...

I just came into possession of Winchester X-150 still in the box. It's an inline muzzle-loader of the .45 Caliber flavor with a 1:28 twist rate. The intended usage is Michigan white-tail deer at 0-100 yards but if I can make it stretch to 150 or 200 yards I'd be all the happier. I've never...

//Begin Edit EDIT, 1303 EDST 6/17/2013: Guys I was talking about a club range. So far the majority of posts here have been suggesting infinite land. The problem is that with an organization owning the range you need insurance and you have paranoid members. The idea is to give as much room as...

Well my friend was given a JC Higgins, Sears & Roebuck Co. 1017 SxS shotgun that is labeled as a model 311A. The gun is labeled as a 12 gauge. Background... the owner of the gun died, the owners wife called my friend and said there was a "rifle" in the closet and he could have it. Well that's...

Ok this is purely a legal question, there are a million other factors that come into this discussion regarding safety and wisdom of doing this but right now I just want the legal side of things. Can a youth (under 18) with a criminal record handle and shoot firearms legally while being...

There are a few subjects when it comes to guns that always seem to need just a little bit more reinforcing. One of these subjects which recently bit me is that you shouldn't be dry firing a rimfire weapon. Here is photo proof of what happened to my S&W 22A after being dry fired less times than I...

Does anyone else find that they have maybe a gun or two that is maybe slightly uncomfortable to shoot due to recoil either being a big caliber or too light, but you put up with it because of it's intended usage? Example: I shoot a 12ga shotgun and when I throw a sabot down it the thing thumps...

Saw this thing on the front page of Brownells and absolutely facepalmed. I think this has more place in a 2am infomercial than on any gun I've seen. NOW DIRECT TO YOU FOR 4 EASY PAYMENTS OF LESS THAN $37.50 IT'S THE ZOMBIE HUNTER STOCK...

Guys, especially new guys... ASK QUESTIONS! I just got home from the range. A friend was there that was very happily showing off their BRAND NEW GUN! They had bought a shotgun that they wanted to deer hunt with. Now if you aren't a shotgunner this might not make sense but here is what they...

Ok this might sound like a dumb question but who still makes a good revolver? Alternately what types/models are still in wide circulation for a decent price. The only current revolver manufacturer I can name offhand is Taurus. I have a few threads bouncing around I created today regarding...

I am in the process of making "the list." After spending too much time looking at guns I don't actually want I decided I should complete the collection before I get more semi-useful toys. Again this is a long-term goal list so I'm not buying these guns tomorrow, it's what I want to save for and...

Does anyone know the best place for me to find a directory listing Class 3 FFL's? My inquiry is spurred by the new availability of suppressors in my home state of Michigan however since we never had them before, I don't know who can sell one to me!!! I tried going around to all the local gun...

Ok I have somewhere up near 2000 rounds through a new S&W 22A pistol. Up until just recently it ran awesome. Recently it started to jam a ton. It wasn't extracting casings and so after a few I decided to take a look at one of the jammed casings closely. The front end of a casing through my...

Well I am sure I am not the only person this has ever happened to! I'll start but you are welcome to commiserate below in the thread. About mid-March I had budgeted 250-300 for a pistol. I intended to buy a .22lr model but was open to anything. Ended up buying one early in April, yes I am...

I was given opportunity recently to shoot a Glock 27 which is their subcompact model in .40S&W. My dislike for the gun came not because of the heavyish recoil or having difficulty controlling it because I wasn't, it just felt like there was nothing to hold on to as far as the grip goes. Anyone...

My friend just got a Walther P22 pistol. Trying out a few different ammo types we found that the Federal 40gr ammunition (which cycles my 22A perfectly) doesn't cycle the gun. It goes off, the slide looks like it comes halfway back or so and then slams shut but sometimes the slide barely moves...

Alright the answer is probably do whatever I want but I figured I would throw this to the community and see what you guys have to say. I have a new S&W 22A pistol which has an adjustable rear sight. The sights are the kind with a front blade and rear notch. Out of the box it was shooting a...

Ok they didn't exactly cover this back when I took an RSO class last year because of liability purposes. I recently got an auto-loading pistol and have discovered a new type of firearm malfunction which is when a rimfire misfires and sometimes just because it dislikes you on that day, the gun...
