    Magpul targets?

    I could probably do that, but it would be very time consuming. I was hoping I could buy a pack of 10 or something.

    Magpul targets?

    So, I've finally gotten around to borrowing my friends copy of the Magpul Dynamic Yadda Yadda videos, and I noticed in the first one (Dynamic rifle or something like that), that they use a very clever little target, which consists of a random mixing of 3 shapes (Circle, square, and triangle) and...

    Faking snap caps.

    Well, I am looking to replicate a wide variety of function problems. Ideally I'd like to, as safely as possible, replicate duds, failures to fire, failures to extract, and pretty much the whole laundry list of problems that can happen under stress. I do plan on the future having junk magazines...

    Faking snap caps.

    Okay, so, my wife and I want to do some FTF drills, particularly on my little Makarov. I was wondering, do I need to go out and buy fancy snap caps, or can I just take some of the empty brass I've got (Makarov brass is hard to find, got to hang onto it), load them in the mags with good ammo, and...

    Dumbest thing you've seen at the range?

    One officer lighting up several others during an Active Shooter drill. Came around the corner, saw the other stack rounding their corner, and opened up. So glad it was a training day and not an actual AS call-out.

    Who has been pepper sprayed?

    This idea makes me nervous. Having been maced, pepper-sprayed, and gas chambered a few times, I can tell you that you're going to want at least one other person standing by, someone who actually knows what they're doing. While it is true that the only way to know what its like is to go ahead and...

    "weird" eye dominance?

    Well, I wouldn't say its a problem. I'm still a fairly decent shooter, scored Expert on Navy pistol quals, sharpshooter on rifle, and managed to impress a couple of the local cops, so I don't think this is really something I would need to fix, unless someone just wants to push me out of my...

    "weird" eye dominance?

    So, some time ago, a friend of mine, who works at a local gun counter, told me my eye dominance was weird. See, working a rifle or a shotgun, I'm apparently HK stance, right eyed, which is normal, but when I'm working a pistol, like most Americans, I'm Modified Weaver stance, but I switch to my...

    Why you don't want Concealed Carry at Work

    Now, if I had to take a mall security job, I think I would atleast have the dignity to take one look at the Segway, call my boss a rude name, and then never use it. Seriously, i'd change my nick to Paul Blart.

    .22 WMR question

    He just likes pulling a trigger. He's not really going for range, mostly knocking over pop cans. His kid is turning 5, so cheap ammo is going to be good. I told him to just go out and buy another break-open in .22 if he wants.

    .22 WMR question

    Well, alright then, thank you kindly.

    .22 WMR question

    Well, this went a lot further than I expected. The reason he asked was because his dad bought him the rifle a few years ago, and while he doesn't mind shooting it, the price of .22 WMR is a bit much for him for plinking, so he was wondering if he could just grab some .22lr and run it, since...

    .22 WMR question

    Alright then. Oh, look, google just buried the search result I needed. That is kind of a hard one to google, though. Alright, thanks much.

    .22 WMR question

    So, a friend asked me, and I have no idea, can you run .22 CB/S/L/LR in a rifle chambered for .22 WMR, and vice versa? Specifically, its a single shot H&R break-open chambered for .22WMR, but for the sake of curiousity, I'm wondering if it goes both ways.

    Deer & boar with 3" 20ga slugs? Oh, really?

    Nevermind, answered both of my questions after due time. Both threads on THR, too.

    Beat-up old .22 for cheap (restoration question)

    Vet: I'd love to pick up a M-N, and intend to at some point, but using an M-N to blast sage rats is probably even more overkill than my 30.06. For the purposes of this discussion, what I'm looking for is a cheap .22, to use as a pest gun, to help a friend of mine with his sagerat problem...

    Beat-up old .22 for cheap (restoration question)

    Alrighty then. If I go for, I go for it. If I do, I'll do up some pictures of the restoration. Might even be fun. If not, oh, well.

    Beat-up old .22 for cheap (restoration question)

    Sadly, not at the point where I can do that. I would love to, but taking it off, refinishing, and staining it, is about as far as I can do.

    Beat-up old .22 for cheap (restoration question)

    See, mainly, what I'm wondering about, is bedding the stock. What would you use to do it? Considering I have everything else I need lying around, the cost of bedding the action is going to be the deal-breaker. Otherwise, I've got time and materials to do it, and I'm not worried about making my...

    Beat-up old .22 for cheap (restoration question)

    I don't recall the exact brand, I want to say Glencoe. I'm keeping an eye open, the purchase won't be for another couple weeks, but I'm kind of a tinker and it caught my eye as an amusing little restoration project for cheap. If its a PITA, then I'm not out too much, but I am still keeping my...
