I currently attend a university that prohibits weapons on campus. Long story short, I'd really like to carry some sort of knife solely for utility purposes, specifically something I can throw on my keychain. I thought about getting a Leatherman Squirt, but I always have a Skeletool w/ bit kit...

I recently picked up an LCP II. I have some other Cerakote projects in the works so I figured I might as well refinish the grip frame and barrel of my LCP. However, I'm having a heck of a time getting the two pins out that retain the rail insert in the grip frame. I've watched videos for the...

Since I obtained my CHP I've carried my Glock 26 IWB whenever possible and I've found it to be very comfortable; I don't specifically plan on replacing the G26 for everyday IWB carry. The other day, however, I went hiking and I OC'd my Glock in a Bianchi UM92 holster on my backpack's waste...

I'm just curious about everyone's input on a particular experience I had last summer... Story time: I was up on a 14,000 peak on a sunny early-summer day in Colorado; it's my goal to climb all 58. It was during a weekday on a not-particularly-crowded peak (La Plata). On the summit, an...

I'll try to keep this as concise as possible. -I'm a CO resident currently living in Iowa for school. -I have a CO CHP, and I'd like to take my preferred carry pistol from my permanent residence in CO to Iowa next time I drive out (if there's a legal option... read on). I'd like to have it...

Hello, My girlfriend owns a Maverick 88 (18.5" barrel). The plastic forend has developed a nasty crack, which (despite my aluminum+epoxy repair attempt) will likely eventually be useless. So, I'm looking at replacement options. To make things simple: Is the 18.5" Maverick 88 compatible...

Hello, I do not own any S&W revolvers, but some S&W Model 15's recently caught my eye at the local gun store. They have about 20 ex-law-enforcement model 15's (for $340 each). As far as I could tell (with my limited revolver experience), they were mechanically exceptional, and the crowns...

Hello, To put it simply, I recently turned 21 and I've been thinking about getting my concealed handgun permit (in Colorado). I will also soon be graduating from college; as such I am currently applying to dental schools. I passively mentioned to my dad that I may be getting my CHP soon. He...

I've just recently gotten into bullet casting. As such, I'm looking for a replacement barrel for my Glock 26. The reviews for KKM precision barrels are great, and the price point is definitely good. However, I emailed them several weeks ago to ask about possible wait times- no response. Today I...

Hello, I'm currently looking to purchase a Stoeger SxS shotgun to build a SBS. I've looked through ATF form 1, and I am aware that there is a check yes/no question as to whether I am "under 21 years of age." I don't turn 21 until April, so I'd like to go ahead and send off the forms after I...

Hello, I have attempted to mount a Nikon African scope on my Ruger No. 1 in .458 Lott. Knowing the rifle is a heavy kicker (and that Ruger dovetail rings don't generally align all that well), I chose to purchase a lapping kit (wheeler engineering). I thoroughly lapped the rings, checked...

Hello, A friend of mine has immediate family in a state that requires a permit to purchase handguns. She lives in this other state part-time, and has worked (and payed taxes) in both states, and has a house in both states. She doesn't really know what state she'll permanently end up in after...

The Basic Freedom Defense Fund is now applying its efforts to repealing the ridiculous Colorado laws that took effect earlier this year. I am not sure exactly what signing the petition will accomplish beyond generating an intimidating number of signatures, I'm sure signing it can't hurt. I...

Hello, I am happy to say that I may have an opportunity to hunt elk this year. It will be my first hunting trip! Long story short, the best rifle I have (the one I can shoot the best) is my Ruger No. 1 in .458 Lott. But I need some recommendations on bullets! So far I've only tried Hornady...

Hello, I have a sealed spam can of 7.62x54r, produced in 1954. It has the Д marking, meaning it has a heavy Type D 182 grain lead core bullet. I acquired it at a Christmas party, so I was curious about its value. If it isn't really worth anything, is it still safe to shoot? Thanks!!

Hello, Being that I don't really get out to shoot very frequently, I probably haven't shot more than ~500 rounds through any of my firearms (except for my 10/22, which is probably at around ~2000). Just curious though, which firearm of yours has the highest round count? Approximately how...

Hello, As I understand it, a permanent muzzle attachment adds to the legal length of the barrel. So a 14.5" AR barrel is still a non-SBR if it has a 1.5" flash hider. But what is the legal definition of a 'permanent muzzle attachment'? Does it have to fully circle the muzzle? For example...

Hello, As a novice handloader, I frequently load under the supervision of a more experienced friend of mine. I recently loaded some .45 ACP for the first time. The load he likes best is about 5.4 grains of Nitro 100 with a 230 grain (hornady jhp) bullet. According to his (old but published)...

Hello, I've recently acquired an Ironwood Designs stock set for my Saiga 12. It is entirely unfinished. How should I go about finishing it? I would really like just a light stain, and a matte or satin finish that can easily be repaired if blemished. Tru Oil seems to work great on many...

***Sorry, meant "Savage 10 TR", not TH*** Hello, I need some fast advice. I've been looking for a decent low-priced .308 (100-400 yard plinker). I've looked at a Rem 700 SPS Tactical, or maybe a Savage... both of which are around $650. But today I saw a "Savage 10 TR" at a gun store, for...
