    "Bubba" guns - Just launched a new website

    Not sure if this really belongs here, but I thought I'd give it a shot. I and a couple of colleagues have just finished up the first iteration of BubbaGun.com, a website featuring the worst hacked-up, home gunsmithing projects we can get photos of. I'd greatly appreciate it if you guys would...

    Shooting-related Computer Wallpapers

    If anyone is interested, I recently launched Guns Wallpapers, a site dedicated to providing high-quality, free gun-related wallpapers. I have a bunch of great photos on my hard drive from an online magazine I'm working on, and it just seemed a shame to let them sit there in the dark. I'll be...

    Check out these amazing engraved / inlaid grips

    I'm just getting into the whole revolver thing, and came across this today - they seem just... stunning. I can see myself giving my little girl a .357 snubbie with a set of these on it for her graduation from high school (in 2025, but still!). Here's the set that jumped out at me, and got my...

    A photo from the Hillary campaign

    In order to stay on the High Road, and not offend Art's grammaw, I must abstain from commenting on this photo. Still, I felt obligated to share:

    K31/1911 or ?

    I found a source of 7.5swiss near my location, and I'm looking for my first deer rifle for the upcoming season, and I've just about settled my sights on either a 1911 (the swiss rifle, not the handgun!:)) or a K31, depending upon local availability. The caliber/rifle combo seems ideally suited...

    CCW scholarship?

    I was just thinking about how hard its been for me to get together enough cash for my CCW, and how it must be the same for many others my age (21) to purchase certifications, training, equipment, etc. Is there a CCW scholarship program out there? If there isn't, I'm going to start one!

    Looks like I'm heading to NO... What should I take?

    Looks like I'll be heading out to NO this weekend, with a communications contractor working for FEMA. I'll be essentailly grunt labor, but I was hired with the understanding that I must bring at least one gun with me. Of course, this is not in my job description! :) So, what would you take...

    Legality of employement in the NO area?

    The past few months have been difficult financially for my wife and I, and I have been unable to find a job after being laid off twice. I would like to help the people effected by the recent hurricane, but finances prohibit me from volunteering. Do any of you out there know of a contractor or...

    Carry in place of business? (Arkansas)

    Is it legal to carry a loaded handgun in your place of business? I know your home is still your home, but if I have a lease on a commercial property, am I extended the same rights there as my home?

    Indoor airgun range (apartment)

    I'd like to make a small indoor range in my office in my apartment. I have 20' available from wall to wall, and would like to be able to use BBs or similar plastic ammunition. Re-usable ammo is best. I was thinking and angled piece of aluminum flashing at about 45 degrees to relect the BBs...

    Twelve gauge cannon?

    I was looking up small cannons today, and a thought occured to me. Would it be legal to make a small cannon - say, 18", that fires shotgun shells? You would essentially be manufacturing a shotgun. I was thinking of a manually set firing pin, held back by a metal pin that can be pulled out...

    Cheapest DECENT self-defense training

    I was just awakened once again to the need to get some good training in self-defense. I'm short cash still, still haven't even gotten my permit to carry, although that's not far off now. What is the cheapest Thunder Ranch-type intensive self-defense training out there? I know you get what...

    AR State Police encounter - scared an anti..

    I was out shooting on a friend's land this morning, and I think I scared an anti. My new range is out in a field of oats, with a nice tall berm on one side to hold back to creek if it floods. I was using it as my backstop, having a great time with a little .22 lever and my CZ-52, when I...

    CZ-52 magazine disconnect misaligned

    I was at the range yesterday, my CZ-52 suddenly stopped working. After taking it down, I found that the magazine disconnect isn't rising up to meet the seer. The safety is very stiff. If I engage the safety while the weapon is uncocked, the disconect drops completely below the seer. If I...

    What would I need to start reloading?

    I've just set my sights on my first practical handgun, a CZ-52. Thing is, I can't find ammo around where I live. I can import S&B or surplus stuff easily enough, but that can get expensive! $200 buys me about 1.2k rounds of Romanian surplus, and S&B's FMJ is $8.50/50. The cartridge is...

    Looking for 7.62x25 carry ammo

    I'm purchasing a CZ-52, and tryign to decide what ammo I should carry. My selection is fairly small at the moment, all I've found is some FMJ at cheaperthandirt.com Here's the link...

    Very inexpensive carry weapons?

    I'm turning 21 on the 4th of March, and I'm a bit strapped for cash at the moment. Its all I can do to scrape together enough to take the class and buy my rights from the government. The only handguns I own at the moment are both SA revolvers, a .44mag and a .22. I plan to rent a semi-auto...

    Whitetails in NW Arkansas

    Went out and shot about 7 whitetails today - unfortunately for my belly, it was with my camera ;P Here's a link to my Wildlife gallery, what do you guys think? Wildlife More to come, as soon as I get to my PC at home. I shot most of them in camera RAW, only a couple in JPG when I...

    Valentines day - a pink pistol

    As much as it galls me, my fiance has turned 21, as expected, on her birthday. Normally, this wouldn't be an issue, but seeing that I am still 20, its annoying to say the least. Not all is lost, however. For Christmas, I got a SureFire 6P and a hand-made display cabinet for my guns. For...

    Handgun for XMas, for a 20 year old

    I'm 20, and I've got a fairly good idea that I'm going to be getting a Walther P99 and a Colt Commander for XMas. I turn 21 in March. Its within the law in AR, where we both live, to gift a handgun to someone under 21, and there are no restriction on private sale to 18-21 year olds. However...
