    14.5 or 14.7 Reliability with Mid-Length Gas System

    I'm thinking of getting a MLGS 14.5 or 14.7 complete upper from PSA or DSA. I've had a few people recommend them to me. But I've also seen several complaints about short-stroking or extraction problems with lower-powered loads, although I've read the carbine length gas system was originally for...

    Public ranges in Dallas?

    I'm in Dallas on business for a few days, but don't have much work to do over the weekend. Does anyone know of a public range in/near Dallas that rents guns? I would like to go tomorrow (Saturday) with a couple coworkers. Thanks

    Looking for affordable first AR

    I'm planning to get my first AR, having decided that direct impingement can't be all that bad (was considering a converted Saiga), and I'm looking for some input based on personal experience with the rifles listed above. This will be primarily for home defense and plinking. Hoping to get...

    A Hidden Victory for Gun Rights

    I read this interesting article this morning and thought I would share it. http://www.thefreemanonline.org/headline/a-hidden-gun-rights-victory/ A Hidden Victory for Gun Rights The Weapons Effect suffers a blow. Hopefully, folks like the NRA, GOA, and Alan Gura take notice of this ruling...

    Open Carry Encounters

    For those who respond to the poll above, please provide anecdotes on encounters with others you've had while open carrying, and whether or not it affected the way in which you carry. I've been open-carrying for only a short time. The only time anyone has said anything about it to me have been a...

    Red Jacket Gator Kill Stick

    Those who have seen the episode: Any thoughts on this thing? At first I was a bit skeptical on .410 birdshot for the caliber, but it seemed to do the trick. Does that qualify as a SBS, or do ya think they put some rifling in there? That trigger mechanism doesn't look terribly safe to me. Seems...

    Predator Hunting

    Just curious what, if any, major differences there are between hunting normal prey animals and hunting other predators? I understand the occasional necessity of doing so, but the idea has never caught on with me. I have the (perhaps mistaken) notion it would be more enjoyable to hunt something...

    Paddle Holster: Blackhawk CQC vs Fobus Standard?

    Gun: Springfield XD45 4" bbl Handedness: Right Carry: semi-concealed / open I'm getting a bit tired of IWB carry. It's not that uncomfortable, but dealing with the holster and having to buy my pants a size larger can be annoyingly inconvenient. Plus I have to iron on a patch inside my pants to...

    Sights for slug gun

    I've got a Mossberg 500A, 18.5" barrel, cylinder bore, with a bead sight. I want to use this for deer hunting this year (Ohio), but I'm not liking the bead sight. Mossberg sells a ghost ring kit that I think is compatible with my gun. For about the same price, I could put a picatinny rail on...

    Open Carry in Texas

    A thought just crossed my mind.... :uhoh: How might open carry proponents in Texas go about protesting the prohibition on open carry? I was thinking, carry concealed, but wear a shirt or sport a sign that reads, "I am carrying a gun. (I'm just not allowed to show you.)" Seems to me like it'd...

    South Carolina House Bill 4509

    http://www.scstatehouse.gov/sess118_2009-2010/bills/4509.htm Anyone seen this yet? I know there are several states considering "firearm freedom" acts. This bill deals with registration. It'd be great to see this in other states as well!

    Police attitudes toward open carry

    http://www.ktvu.com/news/22516072/detail.html A cop in California joked(?) on a Facebook page about shooting open carriers. His attitude shows a great amount of disdain, not just for those who open carry, but for 2A rights in general. Screenshot of the Facebook exchange...

    Dog Shoots Hunter

    Training Realistically

    Can anyone share similar advice gathered from similar experiences, either from training or real-life? Under what sort of conditions should one train? What kind of equipment failures is one most likely to encounter? What kind of physiological issues should one anticipate in various training...

    CCW in vehicle in Pennsylvania

    Quick question... having some trouble finding a clear answer using the search feature here and on other sites. OH and PA do not have reciprocity for CCW, but I heard PA will honor the OH CHL as long as the handgun remains in the vehicle. If the Ohio CHL carrier were to leave the vehicle...

    Recommendations for a sub-$500 .30-06?

    Don't need all the bells and whistles, although a suitable scope would be acceptable. Needs to be reliable, durable, and accurate at woodland hunting distances. Thanks!
