    Holy Crap! Glad my neighbors are alive....

    So we got home from the holidays over the weekend and we noticed that our neighbors across the street (husband is a fellow pastor here in town) are driving what looks like a new car. Wife asks them if they got a new car and it turns out it was a rental. On their way back home from visiting...

    Oh great. Psych ward escapee loose in W. Saint Louis County.

    Lying in bed and I just got a text from a neighbor saying that a psych ward patient just escaped from St. John's Mercy Hospital a quarter mile from my house. Doors are locked, cocked, locked, ready to rock, and all that. No word on whether he's considered dangerous or what his condition is. I...

    P239 vs. M&Pc thickness & height comparison

    Anybody know how these two compare in terms of grip thickness and "height"? When I say "height" I mean the measurement from the bottom of the mag to the top of the slide. If anybody has pictures of a side by side comparison that would be awesome as well. I'm trying to decide between these...

    Why the Brass Hammer?

    Forgive my ignorance. Why is a brass hammer recommended for gunsmithing applications? What advantage(s) does a brass hammer have over a steel hammer or rubber mallet? I'm planning to drive the taper pins out of the front sight base on one of my AR's with a punch and hammer, and I'm...

    Beretta A391 Xtrema2 Problems (need help)

    A buddy of mine asked me I had a shotgun he could borrow the other day so he could go shoot a couple of rounds of trap out at the conservation area trap range.

    CO and ID Members: What is the trend in your state's gun laws?

    For my entire life I've lived in gun friendly states, whose gun laws have only gotten better over time. TX, LA, FL, and now MO. Well, next May I graduate from grad school (seminary) and we'll more than likely be moving somewhere outside of MO to receive a call as a pastor. Two states that...

    Mauser K98 Russian Capture Price Check

    I haven't see this yet, but I'm curious what a fair price "range" on a Russian Capture K98 might be.

    Back Order Status Thread

    After searching around a bit, I didn't find a thread on this, but I thought it might be a helpful one. I was thinking this could be a thread to help keep each other and the rest of the community informed about manufacturers and vendors back order status and order fulfillment, due to the current...

    I see a couple of very recent 870 threads, but I didn't want to hijack. What are the main differences between these two guns? I know the police has a metal trigger plate instead of the cheap plastic one on the express. I also know that I can get a metal police trigger guard from midway to...

    Legal purchases under the previous AWB

    So lets hypothetically say I have 2 fully completed AR15 lower receivers, but no uppers or upper parts for either of them yet. Of course, I sold all of my firearms in a private face to face transaction a couple of weeks ago, so this is purely hypothetical... So with that as a context, I have...
