I posted a message on facebook the other day in response to a discussion that I was having with some guys out here in the oil patch about gun control. What we give up when these so-called "gun control" legislations come up, etc. Thinking that instead of complaining about what's on the table...

Another thread got me curious to look up some prices on ammotogo.com and something just didn't quite look right to me. I'm seeing CCI minimag solids for the same price as other bulk ammo, about .05/rnd. Did the cheapies get more expensive or have minimags just gotten so popular that the price...

Heard this again today, was down at the indoor range in Lafayette looking for a CC class that might work with my crazy schedule somewhere. At some point before leaving I mentioned OC and the guy that was answering my questions pointed out, "Now, you know that once you get your CCW you give up...

Just got back from the range. Haven't been able to go in months. Actually, ranges. A guy I met offshore is a member at a local range and we headed out there this morning. Shot my first batch of handloads in the 06 and got my best group ever at 100yrds. Max size was 1.01" C2C and the average...

What are the legal implications of putting a folding stock on a rifle, or a pistol grip for that matter? Every time I start shopping for folding stocks for my 10/22 this question pops up into my mind. I know lots of people have folding rifles and pistol grip shotguns, but for some reason it...

Hi all. As some know, just got my rockchucker so I'm probably going to be asking a billion questions in this part of the forum. From what I understand about polishing brass, you are basically wearing of thousanths of a millimeter at a time to make brass shiny. My question is, how long can...

I guess everyone probably goes through this at some point early on in their reloading careers, but I haven't seen the issue come up too regularly. I've been researching bullets ALL NIGHT! geezo weezo, there are so many to choose from and different stuff is out of stock on different websites...

Hello all, haven't been shooting long, but I'm sick of seeing these threads. Maybe if I'm lucky the mods will sticky this, but it needs a writeup. As a physicist, this is an attempt to describe how shotgun patterning tends to work, and why all of us are wrong whether we say shotgun barrel...

Hi all, I did a search of the forums for various combinations of armor piercing stuff and incindiary stuff and haven't been able to turn up anything on this subject, maybe I'm not looking correctly as I've been focuse on "legal". I found a website here that seems to say that AP ammo is pretty...

Got my RCBS setup ready on Cabella's, have not pulled the trigger yet but pricing everything out right now and trying to make sure I don't forget anything. I have a space cleared out in my shed and ready, and I can get my bullets, primers, and powder locally for now till I figure out what I...

Hi all, I would love a 1911 someday but as such, I've never even field stripped one and don't know much about them. A buddy at work (for some reason everyone at work thinks I'm a gun guru) was asking about handguns, I gave him some of my input. He said that he really likes 1911's, the way they...

I'm starting to think that I need to see some new opinions or information. I went the typical route, compare bullet calibres, buy handgun for future ccw, FBI gel testing, when to shoot, legal questions, etc on my way to refining my limited knowledge of firearms. Lately, I find myself wondering...

For those that do not recieve these updates from the NRA: (copied directly from NRA email) Louisiana: Committee Hearing for NRA-Backed Bill Set for Tomorrow! The House Committee on Administration of Criminal Justice is scheduled to hold a hearing on Senate Bill 39 tomorrow, in...

Hello all. I would like to start a discussion of current thoughts on different handgun calibers, types of guns etc, that hopefully we can discuss this without threads like "I only use calibers that begin with .4" or "9mm is the smallest bullet I would use" and other such nonsense. To my...

Hi everyone, just want to show up and brag on my stock Ruger 10/22 and Winchester 555 bulk ammo. Shot my best 25yrd group ever today, cut it off the target and stuck it in my wallet to show to the next know-it-all that starts trash talking my 555 ammo! 10 rounds 3.04 MOA max spread (I can...

After toting my old man's 380 around for a while, my XD feels like a hand cannon. I've had my eye on them new Kahr pistols for a while, just wondering if anyone had a picture that would be of value to me with the Kahr compared to an XD, either subcompact, service, or full size, or a glock 36 or...

As I am typing this I am getting a hot bath ready for my father's P3AT. Finally got it to the range today, the first time I've gone since he passed. I was having problems with light strikes and soon realized that it was because I'm used to SAO triggers. Fine. Something about the gun was...

Hi all, this is a hypothectical for me but if anyone has experience I would appriciate it. Doing a lot of window shopping and wishing for the day when I get my AR-10, and I'm curious. First, I've heard a lot of stories in threads on here that the .308 will be less stable with heavier bullets...

Hi all, My dad passed today, and I toted my but off the rig and all the way to Illinois as fast as I could. There are a lot of things that we are going through right now, but one question that came up is dad's gun collection. A 20ga break action, a Mossy 500, a ruger .22 bolt, and an LCP...
