    .22lr CCI minimag cheaper than Thunderbolt at Wallmart??

    I hit the lottery a few days ago. Wallmart had 100r boxes of mini-mags for $7.47 and Thunderbolt 50r boxes for $5.45 a box!?? I got my three boxes of mini-mag and am happy. But why the heck were cruddy Thunderbolts more expensive than mini-mags? Have I crossed over into a parallel universe? Is...

    Uberti Top Break in .38 reviews?

    I've been having a blast shooting .38 target loads recently. Cheap to load and fun to shoot! I really like top breaks. I'd look for an old Webley but they are just so spendy and so are the components. Thinking about ponying up for a Uberti Top Break in .38. Not sure they are worth the money...

    Leading problem with Taurus Tracker .38/357 loads.

    Just traded for a really nice Taurus tracker SS in 357 mag. Due to component shortages I'm stuck with older orange label Unique powder and north star 158g RNFP cast bullets. Primers are cci mag and normal. (whatever I can get) The problem is that I'm getting leading in the first part of the...

    9mm pistol for one hand shooting? G17 orG34

    Looking at picking up a high cap 9mm late this year. This gun will be specially for car, bicycle and motor cycling use. Used to carry a G21 so a big heavy gun is no big deal for me to carry. However is dose need to have lighter recoil than my standard .40 and .45 fair. I am familiar with Glocks...

    Bought a Ruger Sr22p! short review..

    Had been meaning to get a Ruger .22 pistol for the last 10 years or so. Due to the shortage of black guns and an over abundance of Christmas money I bought one! Finally something I can thank Obama for! At first I was kind of freaked out that I bought the latest and greatest plastic/alloy...

    Just ordered a Rossi M92 357 SS. Any tips/thoughts?

    Sick of way overpriced "black" guns I'm going old school. Rossi m92 357 ss 16'. Plan on slicking it up as a project. Hopefully she'll make a great camping, hiking and truck gun. Plus I may even break out the mothballed turret press to whip up some cheap .38 loads. Anyone here have one or...

    Best easy/cheap DYI firearms finish??? OR better oil?

    I've got a couple mossburg 12g's and a couple ak's that I like to tote around and keep in my car. Problem is I live in Oregon. So unless I keep them slathered in oil the finish tends to rust. Is there a better way to skin a cat here? Is there some kind of special oil I can use that lasts...

    Not happy with sig 556sbr.What should I get next.

    I've got a decked out sig 556 factory SBR. Troy rail, sights, DD stock adapter with a CTR on it. I'm just not all that thrilled with it. The darn thing just sits in the safe. It shoots great but is just too heavy for my purposes. I need a light handy 5.56 rifle that works well at realistic SD...

    Colt 6933 11.5 vs. Noveske 10.5 light basic?

    Forgive me it's cold and rainy here (Eugene, OR) and all I have to do is think about my next rifle. I've got a sig 556 sbr that's nearing completion but the darn thing is 7lb8oz without sights/optics. It feels very front end heavy too. Great for short hikes/car/home but too heavy for...

    Can you swap upper on SBR AR15 lower?

    Was thinking about registering an AR15 lower, then building up a lightweight SBR. If I register it as a 10.5' barrel say an LMT brand and then want to go shorter say to a 7' PWS upper can I do that legally? Or am I stuck with one upper/barrel length? R

    10/22 jamming with aftermarket mags??

    Dusted off my mid-90's vintage 10/22 and stuck a new recoil spring in it and a new poly buffer. Using remmy-golden bullets it jammed FTF and FTE with my new eagle 30r and butler creek 25r mags. It did this 2-5 times per mag, especially with the cheap eagle mags. It fed fine with the factory box...

    In doing research over the years I always end up reading threads from THR forums so I finally became a member! Anyway I don't have a long range/battle .308. Not really looking for a SHTF rifle as that's why I own an AK. This will be for long range and for CQB penetration. I live in a rural...
