I've got a possible trade with a serviceman who was stationed in turkey and picked up a semiautomatic 12ga from a small village that manufactures them there. I know nothing about these guns in terms of pricing or quality. I've only been able to track down that CZ is importing these now. The gun...

I currently run a CZ 85 as my carry weapon, and it's a little too difficult to carry with my everyday wear (bit too big!). I was thinking about using the gun and its accessories to fund a new carry gun. I figure that I've got about $500 or so worth of gun+stuff, enough to get at least started...

...from one urban area to another. In July I'm moving to St. Louis and I would like to try and get in on deer season in Missouri. Can any locals shoot me a PM with good spots to hunt around the St. Louis area? I'm hunting with centerfire rifle. Don't care about awesome racks, just want some deer...

Say I work on a university campus in a state that permits concealed carry. The university has expressly prohibited carrying of weapons as well as stowing the weapon in a vehicle parked on university-owned property. Here's the problem: the city that houses the university is a somewhat dangerous...

Hey all, I'm moving to St. Louis in July for my new job and in my relatively limited internet searches I can't seem to find a decent range. I'm looking for something with longer rifle ranges (maybe up to 500 but 250 minimum) with pistol bays as well. Ideally somewhere I can "rapid fire" i.e...

I had a slam-fire on my Win 70 30-06 when I flipped the safety from middle-safe to fire. I was surprised, as I had never had a malfunction like that in the ~600 rounds I'd fired through it since I purchased it last August. Thankfully no one was hurt, but I immediately took the gun to the smith...

Me and a buddy went sheep hunting, and I managed to take down a Merino ram. I had an awesome day :D

Hey all! I'm lucky enough to go on a sheep hunt this December and while I usually shoot plain old winchester power point or remington core-lokt, I was told by a few more experienced hunters to try a better round with a flatter trajectory. I was told that Barnes TTSX 150 or 168 gr would be an...

I've been arguing with a friend about a couple things lately and wanted to get some answers from my favorite collective bunch: 1. Never trust handloads from someone you aren't extremely close friends with, and even then make sure you see their manufacturing process prior to use. I...

So I was watching The Shield, and Vic Mackey made the Desert Eagle .357 look sooooo cool. I absolutely want one, purely for the spectacle. Obviously using it for carry is a little silly, but carrying it with me during hunting for wildcat/boar protection isn't so far out of the question. Anybody...

Where do you guys go for processing your game? Local butcher? Do it yourself? I'm hoping to get my first deer this season in the Austin, TX area and I've never had to process game before. Do you all just quarter it and keep it on ice? I'm a big fan of deer jerky myself, is it costly to get...

I'm going hunting this season with a friend and he is an ex-con. I'll be hunting with my rifle/shotgun, he'll be bow-hunting with a crossbow. My question is that since he will be driving us out to the hunting grounds, is he technically in possession of my gun in the trunk? This sounds like a...

I just put an add up in the accessories buy/sell subforum, but I wanted to post here too. I'm looking for a low-price-point scope (that's not Tasco/BSA/Barska) that will hold up to being on my range/hunt 30-06. I shoot about 20-40 rounds a month, so I don't need something stress-tested by the...

I've never owned a nice hunting rifle before, and just picked up a decade-old Win 30-06 with beautiful wood furniture. As far as accessories go, I was thinking a need the following: Barricade (rust protectant) Cleaning solvent/patches (Gun scrubber ok?) Bore brush Wood oil (want to keep it...

Not everybody reloads (although I wish I did, presses are so expensive and I don't think I shoot enough to merit one), and so I pose the question: what brands do you trust? Does it differ between calibers? For example: I always shoot S&B 9mm 115gr, and I've never once had a problem. I've...

I know the two popular ones are the Redhawk (alaskan?) and the Taurus Raging Bull, but does anybody have first hand experience with either, or own one, or just have a preference? Also, does the .454 fit other ammo (like .357/.38?) I thought I heard it fits .45 LC, but I could be wrong...

I just recently acquired a really nice Uberti 1873 Cattleman and having never owned a revolver, let alone a SAA clone, I have no idea how to clean the sucker or what cleaning schedule to stick to. Obviously people have different ideas about cleaning guns; some clean after every shoot (especially...

So I want a new range toy, have several hundred bucks saved up, and am interested in getting a red-dot sight mounted handgun. Does anyone have suggestions for a good 9mm that looks good/handles well with a red dot? Also, what are good red-dots that hold zero solidly on centerfire weapons? I'm...

I had the most awful experience today. I was completing the safety eval for membership at a local private range. Basically you show up, the guy asks you some questions about the four rules, asks you to get your gun out showing you know safety, and put 10 rounds into an IPDA target at 10 yards...

So there isn't a lot of support for CZ pistols from third party manufacturers. All I want is something to fit CZ75/85 mags, open top (no clasp), preferably for under $15/single mag. Anybody got a source?
