Hi all. Christmas is coming. I need to find a 10mm slide for a 1911 type pistol. Best as I can tell, Numrich arms is out of stock. I don't know where else to look. Appreciate any advice, insight, or leads. -Ben

Hello all. I need to learn again. I'm interested in learning how to acquit myself well with sticks, particularly two short (2.5 - 3') sticks. Can someone point me towards 'escrima for dummies' as a first step? Thanks. -Ben

First off, this isn't a WTB. I'm looking for info more than anything else. Many, many years ago, my father bought a Spas 12. Four years ago he asked me to keep my eyes out for a stock hook. No dice - Carlson's is out and the spas-12.com ad board hasn't panned out. Does anyone out on...

Hi all. I have a friend who is starting to shoot pistols, and her problems have me stumped. Essentially, she's right handed and left eye dominant. She started shooting hi-power rifle this time last year; her team mates figured things out. She shoots from the right shoulder with an...

Hello. A friend of mine is interested in EE, and has been using me for a sounding board on the topic of building a coil gun ('gauss gun'). Does anyone here have any experience on the subject? His best guess, at this point, is to use replacement coils for an electric nail gun, possibly...

Hi y'all. Is anyone else here familliar with the Boston Gun Range on Grafton Street in Worcester? http://www.bostongunrange.com Do they still exist? I've tried calling, e-mailing, and e-mailing the tech contact listed after a WHOIS on the domain. Nothing. I'd appreciate any info.

Tomorrow I'm taking some friends to the range. Both are imports from Colorado. One used to have a few guns (sks, Glock 22) but had to leave them on the other side of the continent, since Massachusetts isn't too gun friendly. His wife has never shot; the excursion is so that she can get a...

Hi. I recently received an old, old mauser. Former owner informed me that this is a J bore, not JS. .318 instead of the usual .323 Where can I find 8mm J bore ammo? If I get interested in shooting it more, can I reload J bore ammo with JS bore brass? Thanks. -Ben

Hi all! I'm heading out to New Mexico for a friend's wedding next week. Are there (m)any places that offer Class 3 rentals? Public ranges? Gun shops that I really shouldn't miss? I'll be in the northern part (Albuquerke to Taos area) Thanks.

Hello. Something has been sticking in my head for a while. Why is it that buckshot is significantly more expensive than shells loaded with birdshot? Is it that it is more difficult, or more involved to create the larger shot pellets, rather than just using a shot tower? I'm not...
