Hi, I read the thread from several years ago regarding REI and its intent to stop selling outdoor goods made by companies that also deal in firearms or ammunition (vista/federal). I am getting into backpacking and wondering if they have reversed their stance and if it's OK to shop there again...

Hello, I recently obtained a new job in Anchorage and will be there for at least a few years. I could see myself trying a hunt of some kind if I can coordinate something with my coworkers. What kind? I don't know, moose, caribou, etc perhaps.....and we all know what else lives in alaska...

Moving to anchorage soon. I don't plan on doing anything crazy in the bush but would like to do some hikes in the mountains and trails around town. I have a safe full of .40 and 9mm autos and a few .357 mag revolvers that I could ship to myself during the move. Of course jingle bells and bear...

Hi, I just bought an M&P 40 pro "CORE" 5" barreled model. I'm looking for a decent Red Dot Sight to try out. I'm leaning toward the Leupold Deltapoint because of the wider lens which reportedly makes it easier to pick up the red dot both during the draw and during recoil. Unfortunately...

Hi, I am visiting Roan Mountain state park in Tennessee in a few weeks and am wondering what my options are for carrying there? I am a Texas resident with a Texas concealed handgun license if it matters. I was hoping to carry my H&K USP 40 in a belt holster for protection from black...

Well, I finally got my Smith Enterprise Inc. M14 registered select fire project finished. I put it in an MFS-14 and had it bedded by M14 gunsmith "Warbird" who did a fine job. For the build I used an Enidine/Mesa shot shock recoil reducing buffer tube, a VLTOR emod buttstock, an SEI coast guard...

Hi, I have a Remington 700 police LTR with the factory installed HS precision stock. Somehow the rear sling swivel's threaded hole in the buttstock got rusted. It must be pretty bad because it spreads to any threaded swivel stud I put in there within a few weeks. Is there any way to...

Hi, I'm looking to pick up a dedicated medium range "precision" semi auto and am trying to decide between these two. I realize the wait is going to be 6-12 months before anything materializes, so I'm still in the planning phases. My situation is that I already have 3 M14 type rifles (one set...

This is a quick review/range report of my LRB M14sa "tanker" with its Leupold VX-R patrol 3-9x on a Basset High Picatinny Mount. I've had the rifle for about 3 years now but finally got a chance to shoot it with a decent scope to see what kind of accuracy I could get. I picked up the...

Hi, I'm planning to shoot my first NRA service rifle match tomorrow. It will be held on a range with 200 yards maximum distance, so reduced targets will be used, I assume. First I will describe the equipment I have: I have a Compass Lake Engineering AR-15 A4 service rifle upper with a...

If you had the following firearms to choose from and 2 hours to shoot with someone who has never operated a firearm before, which would you choose? There is no limit on how many you can bring. The range will be 25 yards maximum, outdoors, on cardboard silhouette targets. Let's say the person...

Hi, I was thinking of sending my 870 express receiver, magazine tube, and magazine extension off to get a manganese parkerized finish. The vendor wanted me to be sure that all of these parts were "carbon steel" before I sent them to him. Can you tell me if they are in fact made of carbon...

Those among us who are teachers might appreciate our help in this poll: Should teachers who have "concealed weapons" permits be allowed to have guns in schools? Options are yes or no...

Hello, Is it possible to purchase a factory benelli made 7 round magazine tube for the M4 shotgun? As I understand it, if the Benelli 7 round tube was added, you can still render the weapon remain 922r compliant by changing 3 other parts to US made examples such as the hammer, disconnecter...

Hi, I was wondering what people consider acceptable accuracy from a handgun. Today was the first time I really tried to to test the accuracy of one of mine, a S&W M&P 40 pro series with night sights & Federal HST 180gr ammo. I was a little bit disappointed that after firing 100 shots in...

Hi, Gunbroker recently suspended my account because I had to go to Frankfurt on a business trip. I emailed them with a reply, but they haven't re-instated my account. This is pretty outrageous. Obviously I'm a US citizen and live in a southern, gun-friendly state. Banning someone simply...

Hi, I recently ordered a Silencerco Osprey 40 which is said to come in a thread pitch of .578x28 TPI. I am about to order a Storm Lake threaded barrel for the pistol I intend to use it with, a S&W M&P 40. My two options for the barrel are 9/16x24 and 9/16x28. .578 is pretty close to...

Hi, I just got a Remington 700P LTR in .308. I'm debating what scope I'd like to put on this rifle. It will be mostly a target rifle ranging from 50-1000 yards max but I do hunt occasionally. Right now I'm looking at Either the Leupold Mark 4 ER/T 4.5-14x50mm M5 with Tactical Milling...

Hi, Can anyone tell me what kind of rifle is in this video from the 0:06 to 0:17 mark? It looks like a Browning BAR perhaps but I'm not sure. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YiwcUdX7XMw&ob=av2e Thanks!

Hi, My dad and I have an NFA trust and I wanted to get him a suppressed weapon of some sort as a gift since he has expressed interest and it just became legal to hunt game with suppressors in our state. I would probably want to make it an SBR also to keep it handy. He's not much of a...
