    Are Colt barrels any good?

    I have a Colt 1:7 20" barrel on my parts bin AR. With 77gr hand loaded Match Kings it will put 5 shots into a group the size of my thumbnail at 100y off a sandbag with a 4x ACOG as the optic. Mine was free, so I can't speak to the cost benefit analysis. But it has been an accurate barrel over...

    Looking for information on where to find information: SMLE No1MkIII* and the internet has been less than helpful

    Can you post pictures of the markings in question?

    Help me understand... a 10lb rifle 'worth' it's weight in gold?

    You do not grip the wood. You grip the entire forend including the barrels. If you try to pinch the forend on even a moderately powerful medium or big bore rifle you will find it has left the chat once the trigger is pulled. It will land somewhere behind you. You wrap your hand all the way up...

    Defend the Constitution?

    The government is against private citizens owning firearm?! I'm shocked... If you think the government, either side, is here to help, then I can't help you. In other news, the sky is blue. This started on shaky ground and just went downhill from there.

    Naval Rifles

    Drach's YouTube channel is absolutely worth a check for anyone interested in naval history of WW2 and earlier. His multiple video series on the naval battle of Guadalcanal and the Battle of Jutland are absolutely outstanding.

    7.62x39 v. 7.62x51 short range wounding differences

    At those ranges? Meh, little to no difference. At least not enough of one to sit around picking fly poop out of pepper over...

    Scheels Sporting Goods

    Our Scheels has good stock and competitive pricing on pretty much all firearms and firearms gear. They carry quality stuff and a decent price, I can't ask much more than that.

    Open Carry in a Traffic Stop

    Well heck... Well, okay then. I completely missed that.

    Open Carry in a Traffic Stop

    The original question is about a traffic stop in South Carolina. What you would do on PA, TX, CO, or anywhere else has no bearing. Let's stick to SC law as it is the only one that applies here.

    Open Carry in a Traffic Stop

    Why would I put a gun on the dash, that's the absolute last place I'd put one. Not only would I not want it in plain view, but the best place to keep my hands is on the wheel, which would be far too close to the firearm. Firstly, I would follow the requirements of the state in question. Is...

    Biden closes ‘gun show loophole’

    I had to prune the thread a bit. Please stay out of general politics and stay on the topic, and politics, in question.

    I have no idea where people even shoot anymore.

    I got lucky and was able to get a membership at a local...ish private range. It's a 45 min drive, but it's a great range.

    Closed pending any kind of proof or substantiation for the claims made here in. OP, feel free to PM me when you are ready to answer some of the substantive questions asked here.

    Thoughts on a 9mm Rifle for plinking and range use please

    I was thinking something like 9.3x74R, but I guess a Hi Point carbine would be fun too.

    US Navy Deletes Photo Of Ship Commander Shooting Rifle With Backwards Scope

    Just because there is a firearm in the picture does not make it on topic for THR. Stupid things happen everyday at every level with firearms... Photoshop techniques and why something may or may not have been published are not our concern.

    ATF Raid on Airport Exec in Ark, update

    The details of police operations and n the general sense is off topic for THR. This one went pretty much the same as the last one...

    Any firearm can be used self-defense in a pinch. Do you agree?

    This has created far more static and not nearly enough signal. I don't think anyone will argue that any firearm is better than no firearm. Use what you want and allow that others might see it differently.

    7.62 Yahweh cartridge, is anyone familiar with it?

    A 7.62x39 with a different shoulder? Yawn.

    What new rifles are most exciting to you this year? Or over the past year?

    I was able to handle a new Weatherby 307, in 308, at Scheels a month or so ago. I really like it and would love to have one.
