    Girl not a gun fan...

    My story is so similar to dogmush's that there is really no point in repeating it. I agree with the common theme here of easing her into it. Consider trying to teach her how to shoot just for the fun of it, not always centered around self defense. Also, maybe try taking her trap shooting or...

    Is There any Benefit to Joining the NRA for Life?

    If for no other reason, your formula is flawed due to the fact the annual membership will likely go up in price over time. Someone already mentioned you aren't going to find a 5% rate. Even if you did, you would be taxed on the interest anyway.

    # of rounds found on confiscated guns= NO reloads??

    Guess you would have to tape it a little off center so the pin hits the rim. :)

    Sig Mosquito NO BS

    Actual, personal experience: Would only function with Federal Game-Shock ammo in the plastic boxes (cardboard box version no good). Sent it back to Sig for repair, waited 4 months and they sent a brand new gun. New gun had the same problem and I sold it to Gander Mtn and cut my losses.

    That salesman is a complete idiot. He never even mentioned that nothing is more durable. :evil:

    Building AR upper

    Thanks for the reply. I already have one that I bought complete. I figure I can refer to it if needed. I must admit, it looks pretty simple at that level.

    Sportsman Warehouse Policy?

    Sportsman's Warehouse employees don't get a commision on the sale. At least I know for a fact they don't here. If they did, they would at least owe me lunch. :)

    Building AR upper

    I'm thinking about building my first AR. Based on what I have read so far, it seems as though assembling the lower is pretty simple. The upper, however, requires special tools and skill. I plan to build more ARs in the future. Is it worth investing in the tools now and build my first upper...

    Magnifier for EOTech

    It says it's a 1 MOA dot, but in reality it is much smaller. Somewhere on thier website it states this. I guess it was just easier for them to say 1 MOA.

    Sig Mosquito for training

    I had a mosquito that would only shoot one type of ammo. Even ones that were rumored to work for others would not work in this gun. I sent it back to Sig and they took 6 months to get a new one sent out (yes, they sent a whole new gun). It still had the same problems and I cut my losses. I...

    A little advice before I take the plunge?

    Depends on the individual. It is like saying "Everyone should start out with a .22 revolver." I started out on a Hornady LNL AP. But, I also made sure I knew what everything on that machine was doing before I started loading ammunition. I also started with one at a time, but quickly started...
