    Any good ranges in SE Georgia/Jacksonville?

    As the title states, what are the good indoor/ outdoor ranges for both rifle and pistol in the Southeast corner of Georgia? I guess that would include Jacksonville since it's so close. May have to relocate there and continuing the hobby would be ideal. All work and no play make Jack a dull Brady...

    Back to school: Bulletproof backpacks and jackets?

    I'm researching the usefulness and practicality of these trendy items for my kids. At first glance, to me they appear impractical since you would have to inculcate the proper mindset of using these tools not only in your children but also the school staff. I don't think it's easy to train your...

    Does out of state seller have to be present at FFL?

    OK THR gurus, please educate me :) If I were to purchase or store a firearm from a seller from another state, with him driving to my home, does he have to be physically present at my home state's FFL place of business for the transaction, or can he leave the firearm with me in locked cases and...

    UPS driver's advice on shipping firearms

    My tapatalk search didn't produce a similar thread so hopefully this is not a repost. If it is, mods feel free to delete. Found this article on a UPS driver's suggestions when shipping firearms from Western Shooting Journal. Some of it is common sense and some I had not thought of...

    If you had to choose an SMG? NFA content inside

    Local seller is contemplating selling one or maybe all of his NFA goodies. He's hinted at an Uzi, S&W 76 and MAC 10, maybe others. I'm quite curious obviously but all I know about these is what I've read on the Internet. If any of you ladies or gentlemen have had experience owning and firing...

    Is Bushmaster XM15ES rifle case TSA approved?

    Apologies if this has been asked before but couldn't find it. Does the original plastic lockable Bushmaster rifle case for the AR15 model XM15ES meet criteria for TSA / airline travel? I couldn't find anything saying otherwise on their site. Anybody with experience traveling on an airline with...

    Volquartsen 22 magnum owners - your opinion needed

    So I'm now in a .22 acquisition mode, having had excellent experience with CZ452, SIG 522 and Ruger 10/22. I'm now thinking of expanding my horizons into 22 Magnum territory, since there is a local ad with one for sale. I've never shot a Volauartsen before and I don't know anybody local that...

    Silly question: would you trade a gun for exercise equipment?

    A little levity here but serious question. Been mulling over trading a kit built AMD65 for a BowFlex Xtreme locally. The AK has been sitting in my safe, shot maybe a grand total of 2 times, 100 rounds of Wolf at the most. I don't believe in safe queens. I do have some in my collection that I...

    Spanish Mauser chambered in Swedish 6.5x55?

    I hope you learned members can shed some light on this. I found a local seller advertising a Mauser chambered in 6.5x55 with Swedish barrel but with "La Coruna (sp)" stamped on the receiver. I was intrigued by the possibility of a Swedish Mauser available locally but in doing some research...

    Storage suggestions?

    I'm not sure if this has been covered before and if it has, kindly point me in the right direction. Here's my problem. My acquisition of firearm paraphernalia such as magazines, holsters, ammo, spare parts, scopes, etc. Has become unmanageable and is making the bedroom an unsightly mess...

    Help with handgun acquisition for friend's wife

    I've read the pertinent ATF regs and individual state requirements but would like some more clarification from the esteemed members here who may have had some personal experience in the matter, especially dealers here. Here is the situation. My friend's wife has recently acquired an interest...

    CZ TT45 any owners care to chime in?

    Saw a CZ TT45 at the local toy show today and it sure piqued my interest. Not much online about it except for a decent review by gunweek and the short but informative thread here. Just curious if there are any firsthand experiences from owners here at THR. The guy was selling for $600...

    Any public ranges in Destin/Fort Walton FL?

    Planning to take a break in a couple of weeks and just curious if there are any members here from the Destin/Fort Walton Beach area that can recommend a range open to the public. I thought I saw a Cabela's on 334 near Highway 98 so there must be ranges nearby. Appreciate the help.

    Mossberg JIC opinions?

    Any firsthand experience with this setup? I don't want to turn this into a brand comparison. To those who have one or used one, any comments are welcome. Toying with the idea for HD / truck gun purposes.

    SIG 226 Blackwater or Beretta M9 Marine Corps Edition?

    What to do? I saw local ads posted for both at about the same price - $950ish. I've never shot either and would appreciate comments on pros and cons. I'm not looking to make a safe queen. If I end up buying one, it will go to the range. And no, buying both is not an option at this time...

    Ithaca 37 trench gun !

    I usually grimace at "How did I do price-wise?" threads but here is mine. Local gun show find. Supposedly a WW2 trench gun, but the serial number traces it to 1949 manufacture. Has the heat shield and bayonet attachment. Came with a 1917 style bayonet with OD green sheath too...

    Best sling for SIG 556?

    I don't post threads much but here goes. Recently acquired a SIG 556 Patrol after much contemplation (the $300 rebate was the final straw). I've seen some threads, especially at the Sig forum but still not sure which sling would be best. I'm not into tacticool stuff and this rifle will...

    Info on HK imported Benelli

    Saw an HK import marked Benelli at a local gun show. It had a wood stock and appeared to be an M1 but I'm not an expert on these. Did they ever come in wood stock? The ones I've seen are black. Also, how well do they shoot? Any problems for those who own them? Lastly, it was selling for...
