    Starting to see ammo prices coming down

    Still about double the price from early 2020 for 9mm, 5.56. Triple for 22lr. I'll wait.

    Seeing some ammo in stores here and there.

    I frequent a couple of Oregon Bimart during my lunch break. In the past 5 months I've picked up maybe 300 rounds of 115gr 9mm and about the same in CCI .22lr mini mags. The employees say they sell out most all their ammo as soon as they unbox it. The shelves are barren with the exception of...

    GLOCK FAILURE- leave your story

    My G19 G4 has about 8K rounds through it. No breakage, but based on info on commonly worn parts, I have all of the highlighted bits in my spare parts container.

    What's the oddest thing you've heard someone say in regards to firearms, ammunition, etc.?

    I find it interesting you think four lines of text is "long and rambling". What "list" are you referring to? If all guns are ALWAYS loaded, how do you clean or maintain it? I will add your response to the oddest thing I've read on THR.

    What's the oddest thing you've heard someone say in regards to firearms, ammunition, etc.?

    Thanks for your excellent reading comprehension. I guess people missed the part where the person stood there, watched me clear the gun, remove the (empty) magazine, and place the firearm in a gun case. As far as the Jeff Cooper's Firearm Safety Rule #1, there are a couple out there but in...

    What's the oddest thing you've heard someone say in regards to firearms, ammunition, etc.?

    After someone stood right next to me as I made sure my rifle was clear, empty magazine back in the ammo can, I placed it in a soft rifle case and was carrying it to the car. The same person, walking in front of me, asked me to make sure the rifle was not pointing toward them. "Why not? I...

    By and large, gun cleaning products and lubes are a marketing gimmick.

    I almost 100% agree. Just a question about soap and water. Which soap? Dish soap? Hand soap? Laundry soap? Shampoo? Bar soap? Liquid soap? Borax? Vegan soap? Body wash? Shaving cream? Scented soap? Unscented soap? ;)

    Red Flag Law....this is absolutely outstanding!!!!

    The fact that this lying woman attempted to use a system enacted to protect those who have a legitimate fear for their life, doesn't negate the need for the law. The fact that she was caught and charged indicates the system worked.

    The Game: $300 Carry Gun

    A year ago I picked up a Ruger EC9, 9mm Luger only, at Bimart here in Oregon for $199 NIB. Besides the genuine Ruger mag, I'm able to use Pro-mag 7 rnd magazines. Only $18 when available. Best deal ever for me. I just wish the trigger reset wasn't so far forward.

    Leupold having problem leading their scopes further into the future

    I own 3 Leupolds. My eyes couldn't see much if any difference in the quality, clarity, functionality of similar scopes in a similar price range. The warranty , customer service reviews, and location (7 miles from Beaverton Oregon, my hometown) sealed the deal for me. I have had no issues...

    Have you purchased anything gun related in the last three days?

    Great deal on Remington Gold 22LR Bucket O Bullets. Now off to KFC for a Bucket O Chicken.

    Supreme court allows Remington to be sued by Sandy Hook victims

    The fact that this case going forward is a good thing. The tortured logic that must be used to argue this case against Remington will ultimately rest on personal responsibility and mental health. To say that Remington is at fault will open wide any claim to any product that if used as marketed...

    Have firearm confiscations increased?

    That is something I'm afraid of. The young man may well be a threat, but what gives the Feds the right to confiscate the firearms and ammo if they belonged to his father? Were they just poorly secured? While I do think that some of these potential shooters, if they're spouting off threats...

    Have firearm confiscations increased?

    Just read two back to back news reports of people getting arrested for having a large number of firearms and ammo. "Mass. medical board suspends doctor's license after cache of weapons found"...

    Stag 15 M4 vs. Windham Weaponry MPC

    The Windham sells for around $620 - $700 currently online. Not even close to MSRP listed by the o.p. I paid $850 for it 11 years ago. Since it's the gun I own and have shot MANY thousand rounds over the last 11 years, I recommend it without reservation. The thing is rock solid reliable...
