I've shot several AR-15s with great enjoyment and success, but I've yet to own one of my own. I'd like to buy one and keep it around for self-defense, short-range plinking and for SHTF reasons, but I don't currently have access to a range. It may be a while (a year?) until I can get to one...

I asked the moderator and he gave me permission to post the resolution of what happened. Please don't give him a reason to regret it. :) This is fascinating. You guys aren't going to believe this. I ended up on the phone with the apartment manager. He says that clause is in there from...

Hi. I'm looking to move into an apartment complex in a different state. They faxed me the lease: "Possession of guns or weapons or any apparatus related thereoto upon the premises or any part of the apartment community is strictly prohibited. Violation... immediate eviction... blah, blah...

Have you noticed there's a BIG difference between load data in the Hornady books for 38 Special (especially around max loads/+P) and Winchester 231? I bought one of those "Load Books USA" (old Hornady books) and a recent set of Hornady Manuals and was shocked about the difference. I don't...

Hi. I'm looking for some load data for: 45 Colt with a 250gr. lead round-nose-flat-point bullet sized .452 in a Ruger Blackhawk with a 4 3/4" barrel. I'd like something at the low end of the "Ruger Only" or at the top end of the standard 45 Colt loads. In other words warmer than standard 45...

Hi. I'm getting ready to move from Denver to Silver Spring which is right outside the northern edge of Washington DC city limits. I own a gazillion handguns and I'm moving to S.S. instead of downtown DC because of the DC gun ban. My question is: Is that far enough? Will I encounter any...

I've been interested in buying a plain-ole' .223 bolt action for a long time. I read a lot of gun rags but they never, ever, ever, cover such a thing! Is it too boring a thing, or what? I want to read some reviews and comparisons!:cool: .

I couldn't find little bottles of Hoppes #9 for some kits I'm making but I did find little aerosol containers of it and ordered a few. Anyone tried these? I'm a little worried about the fumes. Hoppes #9 is supposed to be really bad for you, but I usually limit that by opening doors and...

I used to buy these SPECTACULAR gun-cleaning cloths at K-mart. They were blue rolls on a cardboard core that you'd tear off like paper towels except thicker and really tough. I got them in the Automotive Department for about $1.00 a roll! The were the BEST THING EVER for gun cleaning - left...

I have one of these "gun swings" under my workbench and one in my nightstand: http://www.berrysmfg.com/107.php I LOVE this product, have several in my safe as well, and highly-recommend them. However... So, I've hidden the guns, but now how do I hide the magazines or speedloaders in a...

I don't hear well to begin with but... I own many (nearly all) options for pistol calibers, but I'm beginning to wonder about the noise factor. If I had to shoot AND communicate with a loved one at the same time... What the heck do I do? Can you plan for the noise factor ahead of...

Help! I have a Harriet & Richardson 20 gauge that I got when I was 10. As an adult I'm only into handguns but I have this shotgun from when I was a kid that's in super-nice condition. What can I do with it? What will it do? It's sort-of my only long gun. Will it handle slugs? (Rifled slugs...

I'm a handgun guy, but I think I need at least one rifle because I'm one of those SHTF preparedness kinda guys. If I'm going to get and learn really well just ONE rifle caliber and round for SHTF scenario and shoot it just for fun between now and "then", what should it be? I'm thinking an...

I like to reload assembly-line style. That is: size a bunch, bell a bunch prime a bunch and then toss them all in baggies until I'm ready to charge them and seat a bullet for whatever I feel like doing at the time. The problem is, I hate the sizing & belling stages. I wish someone would do...

First of all, please don't tell me not to hire movers. I don't have a choice for various personal reasons. (Not being able to carry heavy things, for one example.) I'm moving from a ground-floor apartment to a highrise about 5 miles away. I've got a "Hobby Room": a 100 lb. "hobby" bench with...

The monster 1000 lb. pig that kid shot is "Fred" who was raised local farm and then sold to a hunting preserve. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/18989526/ Still, I'm impressed that an 11-year-old managed unload 8 rounds into it from a 50 cal pistol which, from the looks in the picture was a 500...

I suppose I could call the NRA with this question, but I like the the frank nature of the forum so I hope you don't mind if I ask here: I've been a member of the NRA for a few years (2.5 or 3.5 years I think). I renew year-by-year and haven't always been on time with my renewal payment, but I...

I work for a company that has a "No weapons" policy in their company handbook. It's pretty unspecific. Actually, it's TOTALLY unspecific. It just says something like, "Bringing weapons to work" in the list of "immediate termination" items. But, the place is owned by a fairly conservative...

Is there a pistol caliber rifle that will shoot WELL at 100 yards? What calibers will do it, and will they do it with open "factory" sights? I don't really shoot rifle, but my gun club has a cool underground 100-yard tunnel for rifle. Since I already own TONS of handgun ammo and reload for a...

1. Are the DIES factory adjusted, or just the rest of the machine? If so, are they adjusted for crimp too? All I have to do is adjust for bullet-seating depth? 2. Can I adjust the powder measure for ANY pistol charge in increments of .1 gr, or is it more like thos Lee disks that don't give...
