Hey everyone. My brother in law bought a shotgun (not sure from what sort of source but probably private sale). Haven’t been able to find much info on it. It’s in pretty poor condition, but you can make out Universal “Doublewing” 2018 12ga stamped on the rib. Left barrel stamp says made in...

I've had an AR with A2 front sight and clamshell handguard for a few years, and finally decided to convert it to a free float rail. I had a heck of a time removing the gas block taper pins. I'm talkin two hours of trying to gently grind the heads of the pins and then tapping (read: banging the...

I’ve got a Tikka 308 with a muzzle diameter of 0.650. I’ve done some research and evidently that diameter is insufficient to safely have the muzzle threaded 5/8-24. I learned that I can have my barrel threaded 1/2-28 and use a 1/2-28 to 5/8-24 adapter, and this seems like a good solution. I’ve...

Just came across a belt-carrier product designed to assist a shooter with rapidly moving shells from belt to shotgun, and it lead me to wonder why all the manufacturers of the world’s finest shotguns still use a tube feed design instead of detachable magazines. At least in shotguns designed for...

I’m wondering if anyone here has had the experience of filing an insurance claim for firearms or related items after a house damage issue (flood/fire) or theft. Are these sorts of items commonly covered by homeowners insurance? Or are there specific insurance companies that I should inquire...

Not to start an argument here, but why would anyone ever carry a “tactical folding knife” in the tip-down configuration? Years ago, when I got my first Spyderco, the idea of tip-up carry seemed foreign and sketchy. It was my first knife with a pocket clip so I had never considered the option at...

Good morning. I’m hunting antelope in Wyoming early next month. Elevation is about 6200’. Where I live currently, elevation is about 600’. How much of a difference is that ~5600’ going to have on the zero of my rifle? I understand that it’s going to vary based on other factors too (temp...

I shot my first-ever IDPA match on Saturday. Awesome group of people, WAY more than I expected (think there were 47 or 48 of us). Had a blast. I shot my Glock 19 in SSP. After the match, I realized I could have also shot it in the CCP division. Obviously this was a local match, but I’d like to...

Good evening. I’ve been a member here for many years, but have been far less active in the past few years just due to the busyness of life and being in the first few years of a new career in healthcare (don’t get me started on current events). Obviously this isn’t the most ideal time to ask...

Hey guys. Been a long time since I’ve posted here, but I’m back with new questions. I’m replacing the Leupold VX1 3-9x40 which is currently mounted on my Tikka T3 308. I’m kicking around a few options, but the one that I’m most curious about is the Steiner GS3 2-10x42. From what I understand...

Based on the excellent reputations of the Mora knives that I had frequently read here on THR, I bought two of them about a year ago - one carbon steel blade, and one stainless steel blade. I had read (briefly, not in any tremendous detail) pros and cons about each steel type and figured I’d like...

I realized I’ll never have the time to get out and shoot as often as I want to. So I made the time and went out twice in the last couple weeks, and finally enjoyed shooting my new Tikka in 308. While this inevitably rekindled my “need” for a heavier barrel 308 to punch paper with, I also...

Just wondering what’s the longest anyone has ever waited, after buying a new gun, to get out there and shoot it? Obviously we’re not counting safe queens here. Just guns you bought with the intent to use them. I bought a new Tikka T3 in .308 back in late September and still haven’t gotten out...

I know this question has been asked a thousand times in as many different ways... I have a young brother in law who I’m particularly proud of. He’s bucked the familial trend and has made some excellent choices about his future. My wife and I want to gift him with a firearm. He’s 18, and old...

Title kinda says it. As an alternative to hot knife, electric knife, etc, what have you guys used to cut foam in the travel cases (pelican, copies of, whatever) for your guns, with good results? Thanks.

I'm looking for a bedside lockbox/safe for my pistol. Just wondering what some of the members here use, which models/types you might have tried but didn't like, which ones you really like, etc. Basically just looking for a means of locking up my pistol and a spare mag, for quick access should...

I'm doing some research for my next firearm purchase, which will be this summer or early fall. It'll be a bolt gun, but I'm undecided between the following contenders which all meet my criteria (in parentheses): 1. Remington 700 AAC-SD (.308 w/ 20" heavy barrel, threaded) 2. Savage 10 FCP-SR...

Well, haven't seen anything about this here yet. Looks like Steyr is suing SIG, saying the P320 infringes on the patent Steyr was awarded in 2001 for their M-series pistols. Sounds like the gist of it is that this would have no impact whatsoever on the Army contract SIG won for the P320, but...

Flew to San Antonio for a vacation in Boerne, TX 10 days ago. Brought my Glock 19 and AR15 along to do some shooting, and packed them in the same locked, hard case. When I flew with this exact same setup, from and to the same destinations last year, I had no problems whatsoever. When I flew...

A couple weeks ago, I decided to start planning for my next AR build, which I decided would be an 18" DMR type rifle. While researching that build, I stumbled across some info on 300 Blackout, and started daydreaming about having an SBR. Long story short, I started thinking a 9" 300 Blackout...
