While I have plenty of small arms expeirience, my knowledge of ammo falls short. Why is rimfire ammo so un-reliable, prone to FTF's, etc. And due to the time that its been around, has no one or why has no one improved its reliability. Is it just .22 ammo? Is .17 and .22 may the same. I've never...

My wife and I have been together almost 15 years, and she grew up in a gun friendly home. Her mood on guns goes back and forth, changes with the seasons or something. At home she'll give me crap when I gear up before I or we head out. You should see her when I mention a gun show coming up, or...

I haven't looked, of come across any. But do you know of any and what kind of guns mods for "tactical" purposes were done "back in the day". Home grown stuff, PRE'WWII. cowboy modes, home defense stuff? Also, does anyone have their fathers or grand dads or great grand dads pistol or rifle...

I'm in the market for a new rifle. I'm looking for some thing that will get me 200yrds of so and be light on recoil. So I'm looking at a bolt action in either .223 or 22-250. Now with that in mind. What would be a descent scope around $150 or less.

If this is already out there redirect or delete. I'm thinking of getting an AK47 of some sort, and see the 74 listed. What are the similarities/ diferances? Advantages to eitther one? i've seen ammo diferances, but that is not my concern.

I've looked before, and not found many accesories for the P-11. I found one ad for a triger job, but it only brought it down to 9lbs or so. Does any one know of a good trigger job for the P-11? Preferably just a drop in, do-it-yourself kit. I don't have the money to send my gun off to a gun...

How accesible do you keep your truck guns? Pistol or rifle. Your CC piece while you are in a vehicle? Behind the seat isn't very accesible in an emergency, to me. Center consol, not to bad. But pasenger side glove box, too far to reach. I made a holder for my CC piece, with or with out...

Can I shoot 45 long colt thru my 410 bolt action? Is that something reserved for only shotguns built and sold as combos and the Taurus Judge? And does it need to be a rifled barrel?

Just a quick question. I was watching a re-run of CSI, and a suspect was shooting a black revolver with a squared barrel. Who makes these types of revolvers? Are they standard production or custom jobs?

If this thread is already open please move it, or attach it to the one about the suspension for the 2" toy gun. I'm sure many of you have read this article or maybe have seen it on the news. I received an email about it with the school principals email. Here is what I sent to him. Here is...

I've been meaning to post this for a while. And then there is an article on CNN.com. I was watching the "Tougher in Alaska" show, the one about the Alaska State Troopers. It was either in the episode or part of the show intro. A moose was hit on the highway and it's back legs were broken. A...

I know there are some CC permits that only allow the person to carry one weapon that must match what is on their CC card. But for those of us that are not limited, Missouri for example, that can carry pistol, knives, batons, etc, how much can I/you carry before it arouses suspician or causes...

Another instance of "the system" and a moron going too far. I just read this on Yahoo. Whats next? No pens or pencils at school cause someone could get stabbed...

I took that "what gun are you" quiz. Said I was a combat shotgun. In it's description of them, it said they come in either, pump, semi-auto, or both. Both? Really? Or is the "maker" of the quiz as moronic as I think?

Not sure if there is a thread on this. Move it or erase if there is. I have a 330 30-30. It's not my primary HD gun, but if I need to use it, what is better? A lighter, faster round, or heavier, slower round? More penetration potential? Greater energy transfer? I know there will be varying...

This thread can be moved to a SHTF or Bugout bag thread or other. Along the same lines as the "Twilight Zone" thread and all the others. Does or did anyone watch the "Jericho" series? I've only watched bits and pieces here and there. Basic premiss, neuclear attack on the states. everyone cut...

I'm watching this episode on the Discovery channel and they are testing a little tank that they make. They are testing new armor plating on it and are trying various pistol and rifle rounds. One of the people helping them with the testing, says he has a surprise. He pull a 50 BMG rifle out. I...

Give me a second before you laugh and tell me to get out of here. I took the family roller skating today. Had to, it's snowing here, Missouri, and the wife promised the daughter. Any ways, as I'm getting my balance back, it's been about 25 years since the last time I've skated, a thought hits...

This can get moved to a different thread if needed. This is from this mornings range time. My son has only been shooting since the end of September with his .22 he got for his Bday. This shot was made with a 1960's Mossberg bolt action that he doesn't shoot as much. It only has factory...

Can I ship a pistol UPS or other between family members? No sale or anything, just shipping father to son.
