    Surefire forend for 870: change to LED?

    I've got the Rem 870 Surefire forend with the standard lamp, but that thing sucks down batteries. I'm wondering if there's a replacement housing for an LED instead of the bulb? I haven't been able to find the answer on the 'net...

    "TN" guns? And IO? (7.62 AK's...)

    Howdy folks- I've had a hankering for a 7.62x39 AK for a while. I'd rather get something less risky than a CAI monkey assembly. I was in my local shop yesterday and saw a very handsome Bulgarian rebuild in 7.62, the maker's mark said something like "TN guns" or "TN Inc.", don't remember...

    FNX9 owners?

    I've read a lot about certain potential negatives, and I've heard a lot of positives about the FNX. I am interested in hearing about any experiences from folks here? I've played with these in a shop but haven't shot one. The double action isn't great, but I like the single action and I...

    Youth stock on defensive scattergun?

    Howdy folks- I've got a very basic 12ga pump that I like to keep handy for the what-if's that might cross my threshold. But it often feels a bit longer and unbalanced than something like an AR. (for background I'm 6'3" 225#). So to alleviate things, I wondered if some folks use a shorter...

    BHP Questions (SFS?)

    Howdy folks- I've always wanted to try a BHP but haven't gotten around to it (or had the funds!). While searching for a deal on one, I found one for $600 (at least good condition, maybe better). It is a FN and has the SFS system installed. So I had some questions! 1) Is a FN breed good...

    9mm 1911: Taurus vs. RIA?

    Howdy folks- I've had a hankering to play with a 1911 again, but I'm not going to pay for .45 ammo. :what: I already have some more serious 'primary' pistols and this would be a range or possible game gun. I've been reading as much as possible about the RIA and the Taurus in 9mm. But I'm...

    Century Galil/Golani?

    I'm doing my own reading (voluminous) right now, but I'm stopping by Centerfire Systems soon and may not have time to get fully educated on my own. Century is generally a four letter word with me, but I've wanted a Galil for the better part of two decades. Is the Century iteration a...

    AK74: Ammo?

    I've had an itch lately for a new AK. I thought about 7.62 but something light shooting and cheap to shoot would be nice. So the AK74 in 5.45 is at the top of my list. But the biggest 'plus' the to '74 has always been purported to be cheap and readily available ammo. A quick search through...

    Savage Edge vs Stevens 200?

    Howdy folks- Considering getting a cheap bolt gun in .223 to play around with. The price on both the Savage Edge and Stevens are impressive. Obviously the Stevens seems to be about ~$60 more. From those who own these, is there a reason to choose one versus the other? Trigger quality or...

    S&W MP-15/22: Rimfire goodness

    Howdy folks- Got to the range today (the new Bud's range) and found they're going to start limiting rifle hours (I assume based on complaints from newbies scared of the noise). As I'd come to shoot mainly my AR, this was disconcerting. So they had a little S&W MP15/22 for rent and I put a...

    New range, new rifle, new pistol (AR, Glock...)

    New Spike's Tac 16" middy and G19 range reports... Howdy folks! This has too many topics to easily pick a subforum, but my AR was the most interesting part of the trip. Bud's Gunshop is a well-known website for gun deals. But they also have a couple of central KY stores (including Bud's...

    Shipping 18" AR Upper to NY?

    Howdy folks- Can anyone tell me with certainty the legality of shipping an 18" AR upper to NY? Do they have any special restrictions? I have a pending deal and like to be prudent. Thanks for any help-

    Blade-tech opinions? And vs Comptac

    Howdy folks- I'm on the verge of picking up a G19 as a new CCW piece. I want an IWB kydex rig for it. I've had a Comptac Ctac in the past for a 1911, and it was a good holster. I'd like something maybe a little simpler and cheaper for the G19 though. 1- Are the 'double loop' holsters...

    1911 Slide release as finger index: normal issue?

    Howdy folks- Just curious about something. I shot my 1911 during IDPA for a while until switching to one or two other pistols. I switched from the 1911 as my carry pistol at that time too. The only issue I had with my 1911 was when I was doing reloads. I used the slide release...

    Graduation present to myself: Spikes middy...

    Howdy folks! I graduated tonight as a doctor of pharmacy! It has been a long road. I decided to build myself a good AR for home/personal defense and range use, as a present to myself. Well luckily, my Spikes upper arrived today! I also had a slew of stuff that arrived last week. There...

    Aimpoint mount?

    Howdy folks- I was hoping you guys could help me find a mount for an Aimpoint mL2 that I've got coming. I've seen of course the LaRue/etc, and have been checking out the Bobro too. But is it necessary to spend $150 to get a decent mount? Is there a cheaper alternative that's still rugged...

    Single shots for woods bumming (?)

    Howdy folks- I've been on a small quest for a good woods loafing gun for quite some time! It needs to be light, well balanced, and handy. It needs to shoot slugs, birdshot, buckshot. It also needs to be compact. I'd like something around 19 or 20", but I think 22" is about a small as I...

    H&R 20 ga Tamer?

    Howdy folks- I've been hunting for a good general purpose camp gun. Any decent examples have been strangely elusive at all my local shops, so I can't handle enough of them to decide what I want. I've been considering a 12 ga, but I don't want to end up with something that kicks my teeth out...

    .357 leverguns: Rossi vs Marlin?

    Howdy folks- I've been wanting a .357 levergun for a long while now, and would like to take the plunge. This will be a jack of all trades gun, from home defense to plinking to hunting. It will be carried often when woods-bumming. The shorter 16" barrel available on the Rossi makes it a...

    Magwell addition for SW1911 DK

    Howdy folks- I've got a friend with a question about his son's 1911, and I need some help! He has the SW1911 DK model, and the only listing for frame type is its metal type. This gent is using it for IDPA and wants a magwell, however. A simple Brownell's search shows multiple options...
