Here's a link to the page with their results and testing criteria: http://www.luckygunner.com/labs/self-defense-ammo-ballistic-tests/ They tested 117 different types of defensive ammunition between 4 calibers, .380ACP, 9mm, .40S&W, and .45ACP. The table near the bottom of the page graphs...

I just bought a gorgeous used FNH SC1 shotgun. I believe it's essentially a dressed up Winchester 101. What I didn't realize was that it has a recoil-reset trigger. I know Stoegers use this method but when dry firing, it seems like I have to hit the butt really hard to get the trigger to reset...

Okay, so the big gunshow in Tulsa is coming up in a few weeks and I'll be looking for a dedicated skeet gun. What manufacturers should I be looking for? So far, I know that Browning, SKB, Winchester, and Beretta are safe bets, but are there any other I should be aware of that may...

So, last weekend I became inspired to build a gun rack. However, this was to be no ordinary gun rack. I've always loved the movie Jurassic Park, and I grew up with dinosaur toys and videogames. Now, as a 23 year old, I get to have some of that joy and nostalgia back...

I'm looking at buying some .303 ammo from a guy on Armslist, and he doesn't seem to know much about it. I found the same box on the internet but very little info. The numbers on the boxes below the "In Chargers" line are [28][3][36B] Anyone know if this ammo is even worth buying? The price...

Okay, so for a while I've had a scoped No4 Mk.1* Lee Enfield. Because it was wartime production, the sights leave much to be desired, thus the scope. The problem with going that route however was that any kind of a cheek weld became impossible. I tried a lace-on cheek piece and it didn't raise...

After getting my Sig Scorpion Carry I just have to have another commander length 1911, but I want it in 9mm. I went to a shop to order an STI Spartan IV but they apparently have a 25 week lead time (the other distributor they checked with said he'd been waiting on guns from them for more than a...

Now STOP! I can see the words "Just buy a used Browning, Beretta or SKB" already forming in your head!" I know they're very nice and can shoot 400,000 rounds a year for centuries before you need to replace a hammer spring. This simply is not what I intend to use it for. I'm just wanting an...

I originally created this post in response to another thread but decided it might be useful to have a single topic devoted specifically for the discussion of Armslist.com whether it be good, bad, or ugly. Here are some general guidelines I've come up with after doing 8 or so gun deals (mostly...

I have grown tired of shooting my human silhouettes so I tried to get creative and keep things interesting. I made these out of plain black tri-fold display cardboard so they do have a limited ability to fold for storage. My initial plan was to make one really big 2-section raptor but I figured...

There doesn't seem to be a whole lot out there about this shotgun currently, so I figured I would report my impressions of it for those who are potentially on the fence about getting one. http://www.savagearms.com/firearms/model/stevens320pump I recently bought the Stevens 320 security 12ga...

I have been wanting a target bolt-action for quite some time now, but I don't have access to any range past 600 yards, so I want it in .223 because I already have several other rifles in this caliber. Rifle will be used to clang steel and remind me of the good old days when I got to shoot...

Hey guys, I recently emailed a seller on armslist about a shotgun not knowing the value initially. Turns out it's under half of what it's worth and is a copy of an auction on gunbroker. The person claims to be in SC and has a few classifieds for other shotguns all put into out of state...

I'm looking for a decently accurate M16A2 style AR. I'm getting out of the Marines soon and I qualified first on an M16A2 so there's some nostalgia there. I already have a carbine and since it looks like a pain to switch out the stock and buffer to get the M16 feel I've decided a new rifle would...

All too often people only post threads when they're unhappy with what they bought which leads to a misleading amount of negative reviews for anything. I also noticed that these don't seem to get a lot of attention, which is really beyond my comprehension. I'll just list some bullets for ease...

Hey everybody, I'm currently deployed to Afghanistan and I've seen some guys ordering books to study for their personal trainer cert. and it got me wondering if there was such a way to be certified as a 1911/glock/whatever armorer either online or through the mail. I've seen "certified glock...

I'm a U.S. Marine currently in Afghanistan and I've decided that i really want to build a faithful re-creation of the rifle I carried last time I was out here, the M14 DMR. So, I have a few questions. 1. Where (if possible) can I find a stand alone M14 receiver, or barreled action with a...

Hey everyone, I'm currently stationed at camp pendleton (right near oceanside) and I could use some help finding an outdoor range, specifically to shoot tactical pistol at. Any suggestions?

I've been browsing for an AK-74 style rifle recently and I've covered the usual places like AIM surplus, JG sales, and Atlantic firearms. Are there any other sites that sell a broad selection of tactical rifles that I might be missing?
