Something I wrote in 2012 about online sales I'd made. This is from the era when Oregonians could freely exchange private property before they closed "the gun show loophole". Over many years, I have sold guns via a local forum. Normal gun people are usually the most solid, salt-of-the-earth...

I wonder if long-term Gunbroker hasn't been a serious impact on this, or just the internet in general. I've sold a variety of guns over the last 20 years, and 100% of them have been either through classifieds on my local regional forum (shout out to NWFA) or via GunBroker, and often in that...

This might not be a popular opinion here but...there are a lot of LGSes that suck. I have a couple that I patronize but also a long list of those where I've had bad experiences. There's also a certain streak of arrogance that runs through many LGSes. When I worked in retail, we bent over...

Bought a Crossbreed SuperTuck for an HK 45C. I was a bit shocked at how much play there is when the gun is holstered. The only other hybrid holster I've had was for my Glock 19 from White Hat Holsters. That holster fit my Glock like, well, like the kydex was made for it, because of course it...

I spent some time looking into concealed carry insurance and thought I'd share my conclusions with the community. I would love any corrections if I've misunderstood these companies' offerings. I'm not going to get into whether this insurance is a good or bad idea. You will have to decide that...

My handgun (HK 45 Compact) has Talon grips and they're a bit unpleasant when rubbing up against my skin all day. Looking for an IWB holster that has leather which fully covers the entire grip. An example: https://n8tactical.com/product/ot2-iwb-concealed-carry-holster/ Would like to consider...

This is a very cheap model. https://www.amazon.com/Teslong-Borescope-Side-View-Semi-Rigid-Smartphone/dp/B07TTQF24F Plugs into my laptop. I believe you can also plug it into an Android phone but I don't have one of those. The resolution isn't great (as you can see) but it's very easy to use...

I got a cheap Teslong borescope as a gift. Pics aren't great but it was interesting to stick it down some of my milsurps. I'm not entirely certain what I'm looking at, though. Click on pics for bigger versions. Here's a shot from a Yugo 24-47 that was rechambered for .308. I include it only...

In a few years, my wife and I are planning to retire, sell the house, and go on the road full-time in an RV. Hopefully we'll be RVing for many years before we become decrepit and need to settle down. We're leaning towards a fifth wheel trailer. Our voyages will take us over 49 states and...

Sorry, you're right - I wasn't very clear. I have a Remington 700 SPS in a Medalist stock. It’s a fine rifle but it’s a bear to lug around. So yes, something “handier” that I could sling over my shoulder. Probably $1000 would be the top of my budget.

Looking to pick up a .308 bolt-action hunting rifle. This will be for deer and also for target shooting (I'm weird - I like to shoot at paper with a rifle). I'd prefer something that's well-built and rugged...hoping this will be a rifle that takes me into my golden (har!) years. I am very...

For years, the most threatening thing I've seen in woods in which I regularly hike have been deer and rabbits. Recently I've seen both coyotes and bobcats. Fortunately both seemed rather scared of me and scampered off. But it did get me thinking...would the Glock G19 (9mm) I carry be...

I've had two GunVault safes (both the mini and the multi) and both have had the same issue: unreliability. I'd say about 20% of the time, they fail to open on the first try. Usually they open on the second, but sometimes it takes three or four tries (by which I mean entering the code)...

Pure speculation. Also, this was not Oswald's first assassination attempt. He'd previously shot at General Walker and narrowly missed. But even if what you say is true - he only hit one time in three at his target (JFK's head). Barely moving. It's not like the car was zooming along at...

In mid-January I bought 1,000 .308 LC once-fired on Gunbroker for $250, which included shipping. Mostly headstamped LC 11. Not quite the same, but there's a data point for you.

I got a deal on some Lee case lube and now have 10 tubes of the stuff. Probably should have asked before I bought but...is it good stuff? I know Imperial is highly regarded. I mostly reload middleweight rifle...308 Win, 8mm Mauser, 7.5 Swiss, etc.

Really? I never knew that the M1 was used in Viet Nam. I thought it was the M14 and the later the M16. I've read that the least popular thing about the M1 was the "sprong!" sound when the last round was fired.

The Mosin went head to head with the Mosin in Finland and it lost! Wait...

Very true. If you're shooting at that distance, I would get into handloading. Federal Gold Match .308 is $2/round. You can buy Sierra MatchKing HPBT 168gr bullets for $30/100 and adding primers, powder, and reuseable brass makes it more like 50 cents/round. So looking at a few .308...

I think Thor would use a .950 JDJ.
