I am wanting to surprise gift my friend a revolver. I live in TN. and he lives in Ohio. Are there any issues with me doing this? Neither of us are prohibited from owning arms in any way.

My son really loves my recently built, registered SBR. I gifted him one of my 16" ARs but he is already talking about SBRing it. Is eighteen old enough since it is the age to own long guns in general or does 21 apply in this case since it's not an in general weapon? All responses appreciated.

When looking at AR barrels, I have run across the mil spec 4150 designation but have now also run across the 11595E barrel steel (CMV) designation. Anyone know what the difference is? I think I have read the 11595E is S.A.W. machine gun barrel steel whereas the the 4150 is M-4 barrel steel. I...

My uncle is having flashbacks to his childhood and wants one. It seems my grandfather tried to bring back a Luger he "acquired" on the western front. Despite the idea that WWII afforded the opportunity to bring back anything you acquired, my grandfather was forced to surrender his Luger before...

I thought I might share a situation which happened to my wife a few years ago but which is still burned into our minds when it comes to self preservation and handgun carry. Tennessee was one first states to liberalize handgun carry laws. When the opportunity came to get a carry permit I told the...

A friend of mine showed up with a N.I.B. Beta C mag for an AR. I'm kinda inspecting it as I key in this thread. He picked it up for cheap but has decided not to fool with it. I remember back during the ban these things went for over a grand. Just wondering should I relieve him of this because...

What kinds of shooting games have you devised. I find that gaming increases my ability. My shooting friend and I play a "make it/ take it" game in the back yard with the assorted range trash. We also call each others shots. If he calls one and I miss, he has the opportunity to show me how it's...

I know price can vary between the "boutique ARs" but would anyone like to rank them (Noveske, Sabre, Daniel Defense, Bravo etc.). Thanks for your input in advance.

I'm just curious if the priming material covers the bottom of a .22 or is it just on the rim. If it does, could a center fire weapon fire a rim fire cartridge?

I have a beauty in box with all papers. It has minimal wear. It's a Model 28 NO DASH. Every time I look them up I only find 28-2 models. Any idea as to the rarity?

Since I've been snapping up all I can afford I thought I'd pass along the website for great mag prices. 44mag.com has milspec Checkmate (current military manufacturer) for 24.99 free shipping. I can vouch that these are the real deal and work fine in my Socom I and M1A. They have other good...

The Platform is a Glock 35. Requirement: it must be a commercially loaded hollowpoint. No restrictions on bullet weight or composition. If used, it would likely be at point blank range against a determined male assailant. What would you pick and why?

A recent post regarding Century has caused me to ask whether Century really puts together all their guns. I've heard all the bashing of Century Arms "trained monkeys" etc. and certainly some of that is warranted, but some of their stuff is really good. I've noticed the D.C.I. receivers are built...

I've been seeing a trend lately of Korean made mags at gun shows. Usually I use OEM, Mecgar, or mil spec but I must confess the price has intrigued me. I've inspected the knock off Glock, M-14, and AR-15 mags and frankly they look good. I inspected the AR-15 mags and they are dead on copies of...

In my line of work body armor is not mandated but heavily advised. Most wear Level II, II-A, or III. Some fellows have taken to "hillbilly beefing" their armor in critical areas. Some examples I have seen are stacking two soft trauma plates over the heart, sliding in aluminum plate in the back...

I was wondering if anyone besides myself would be interested in an extended slide Glock 21 along the lines of the models 34 (9mm) and 35 (40S&W). I like the better sight radius of the 35 but would prefer the 45ACP. I'm kinda curious why Glock doesn't build such a gun.

When the armed services converted M-14s from full to semi, did they convert the entire trigger/bolt/carrier etc. to what one would get in a current production semi or was a much simpler fix employed to take away the full auto capability? Just thinking it's a shame they cut so many up under...

Considering how many Police agency's use Glock pistols, any idea why a carbine which uses the same mags hasn't been designed? It seems like an automatic seller to me or am I missing something?
