My extractor wasn't extracting. At all. The gun would strip a round out of the magazine, load it, and fire it just fine. But it would leave the spent case in the chamber of the barrel. Did this 15-20 times or so, with only one single successful extraction in the mix. Does it with...

I'm a bit nervous. I have been lusting after a Vepr 54r 27" slantback for over a year, and been waiting for them to come back on the market. They're seasonal, much as Saigas are. However with the various "fun" things happening in Washington and Russia, there has been a lot of disrupt. So...

I work in a Hotel, and one of our standard check-in items is to check the room name vs a photo ID. We aren't picky, if it has a photo and your name on it we'll take it. (So your costco Amex works just fine.) Yesterday a guest showed his Georgia state CCW, which prompted a long discussion...

I recently bought a Kel-tec PMR-30. It is the ugliest handgun this side of a Hi-point. I've been pondering getting it cerakoted or duracoated to improve its looks, after puttying up the screw holes on it to give it a smooth even exterior. I'm curious what options I'd have for coloring/coating...

Since moving to Oregon I am much more "training conscious" than I was living in Alaska. I suspect the reason for this is that all my friends and acquaintances in Alaska are already quite proficient with firearms. In Oregon, I'm the "gun guru" in my circles. I've introduced roughly a dozen...

Specifically: Shooting someone off the roof of the car you're driving. Not only would you not hit a thing, but you'd also go quite deaf from firing a gun in an enclosed space. In general: Not taking into account how loud guns are, especially with firing from inside a vehicle or indoors...

A couple weeks ago I found a NIB pmr-30 at my LGS. I've been interested in the gun since I saw an interesting PMR vs 5.7 review on Youtube. At $500 it was in my price range, and I like the idea of a new high capacity "target pistol" to supplement my High Standard Match King. (which is...

Minus the obvious items (Guns, magazines, ammo, targets, hearing and eye protection) what do you bring in your range kit?

I just got my first mousefart gun, a Kel-tec su16ca. I am planning on murdering a large number of large black circles on various types of paper, at ranges from 100 to 220 yards. For this I'd like people's recommendations on bulk ammo?

Greetings THR peeps! I am a huge fan of laser straight shooting rounds, such as the .220 swift or 6mm remington. (I learned centerfire rifles on my dad's 6mm rem varminter. 3700fps 70 grain hornady handloads were great things for 300 yard shots.) I have never bought one, however, due to...

Having seen some fairly nice SKS stocks and kits. I am curious to see people's builds, from stock to bullpupped. Anyone run the Timbersmith thumbhole stock? Do any of the new stocks retain the bayonet?

I'm a bit of a scope nut. I have scopes on all my rifles. Currently I have a bit of a hankering to have a scoped semi-auto handgun in some flavor, and just wondering if anyone has some pics of their setups? Do any 10mms take to scopes better than others?

There are a lot of various nice firearms out there that I've never actually seen in stock at a LGS. For example, a high quality cz75b. They're excellent firearms, and one of very few 9mms I'd be interested in considering, but I won't buy one sight-unfondled. Odd caliber BARs. I was...

So, I was at the range today, And the guy next to me was sighting in a .300 winmag boltie with a brand new Zeiss Conquest somethingX24 by 50mm. He had all the gear, a Lead Sled, a caldwell Stable Table, caldwell sandbags for the Sled, a metal target stand, a range finder, and a high end...

Greetings, Highroaders! I recently just purchased a sccy CPX1 compact 9mm handgun, and it got me to thinking about my Magazine habits. CPX1 aside, I only have one firearm with fewer than 4 magazines; my Remington 597 in 17hmr. Annoyingly 597 magnum magazines are impossible to find at the...

Will be taking it to the range on friday. Anyone have any advice, questions, comments, concerns? I know a couple people have posted questions about the gun, and I'd be happy to answer/test for ya.

Greetings! Recently I've busted out my old old armscor m20p semi-auto plinker. I recall it being reliable and accurate. These days it is neither, but it seems like the issue is the Winchester 333 ammo I've been using lately. I've noticed that the 333 ammo tends to bend where the bullet and...

We had a blast (thanks to tannerite). Spent over 5 hours on the range. Andy and Lucy are acquaintances of mine from Ireland, and are in the US on a work visa starting next week. They're spending this week visiting various people they've "met" online. Naturally I had to take them to the...

Today I placed an order for a Vepr 7.62x54r 23" today, only $800. Hopefully in about 10 days I'll be able to pick up my new shiny russian rifle. Unfortunately I have learned that the company I ordered from might not actually have it in stock. So here's hoping that they do! Any advice on...

In preperation for doing some teaching, I went to the range today to sight in my rifles. Despite having issues with my r597 not feeding well, I enjoyed shooting it. (The aluminum magazine is oxidized, and thus rough. It grips the rounds such that having more than 4 in the magazine means they...
