I read a short story somewhere once, probably here, about an old man that had hidden a stash of guns. It's set in the future, and some sort of govt. agents are trying to find the stash. In the end he finally tells his grandson where they are, who then turns them in to the agents. I've spent a...

IL gun owners lobby day (IGOLD) is nearly here. All IL residents please spread the word. Every year I have several people ask why they didn't hear about it before it was too late. Here is the ISRA IGOLD web page with all the info you need. http://igold.isra.org/ All Illinois gun owners...

I missed last year in Houston, but Indy is just a hop and a skip. Anyone else going?

I did a search and came up empty. Has anyone tried the Duracoat "can in a can" spray. Not the Durabake. And if so, what was your impression? Good, bad or ugly?

I have been made aware of the possible sale of a 3500 psi cascade air system. It was used by a local volunteer FD to fill scba. But their new gear is all 5000 psi, and they upgraded their compressor as well. I've been told that I can probably purchase the whole system for under $500. Including...

I recently picked up a Just right carbine AR clone in 45acp. I'm having problems with the glock mags that came with it. One mag binds up while loading, to the point that I could only get 12 rounds loaded. And while unloading, the follower jammed midway, and I could just dump loose bullets out. I...

I am going to pick up a OAL gauge and I'd like to know which one. The only non-bolt gun that it will be used on will be an AR. Since the AR upper and lower can be separated, can I use the straight model on it? The straight model looks a bit easier to deal with than the curved. And it would be a...

The local pawn shop has a Just Right Carbine JRC45. I apparently had never even heard of them. I did a search, and nothing came up here. But I thought one of you would have some experience to share. I have an extra SKS that would make nice trading material.......:evil:

I've been going to do this for quite awhile, but hadn't gotten around to it. My place has become the local hangout for sighting in rifles, since there isn't a range for 50 miles either direction. The target is a piece of AR500 cut out by a friend, out on semi-permanent loan. The backstop is a...

I have a newer crew cab pickup, and have been looking at the under seat storage setup from Du-ha. It looks great, but isn't cheap at all. I was just wondering if anyone else has one, and what they think about it. Here's a vid. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_RloRmghCU Does it work half...

I have a 940 that I have been carrying for 4-5 years. It is very pocket worn, the handle has a deep groove worn there by my pocket seem under the clip. The blade has been sharpened so much that the blade profile is signifigantly different than my other. The green finish is dead smooth, no hint...

I bought a black Friday Remington 700 SPS varmint 308 at Dick's for $350, and plan to use it for bedding practice and experimentation. It came with the cheap plastic stock that isn't pillar bedded or free floated. I installed Leupold bases, and Burris signature 30mm rings for a Vortex Viper...

I have checked Brownells, Midway, Opticsplanet, etc, for the 30mm insert assortment kit. Burris' site talks about them, but doesn't list them. Does anyone know where to find these? :banghead:

My brother is in the market for a lever gun for occasional pest control around the farm. Coyotes being the most likely target. He has a thing for the Henry big boy, and would like one in 357 or 44, but is concerned with the effective range of either, hence the 30/30 option. He is not a "gun...

Scheels sporting goods put up a store close enough for me to get to. And while I was checking out the scope selection, the salesman was showing me their store barnd scope. It was a Scheels Icon Hunter in 4-12x42 I believe. Looked well built, and was very clear. I believe it was in the $240-250...

I have a cousin that I lost track of many years ago. He moved north a few hours. And due to some family problems, doesn't come around any more. His folks are a bit goofy (I'm being charitable), and I never thought that we had much in common. Well, this weekend he got word that I would be at...

I shot an Auto 5 for the second time in my life yesterday. It was a Belgian, light 12. My first experience with one was years ago, and left me unimpressed. This one however, felt wonderful. Everyone that picked it up hit nearly everything with it. Even my boy, that isn't exactly a "great" shot...

I have a bit over a mile of gently rolling soft sandy dirt between my neighbor and I. Pretty flat here on the plains, and not enough trees to catch bullets. I was considering buying a large straw round bail for a bullet stop. Biggest things I'll be throwing at it will be 7.62-39 and 223. And...

As a recent purchaser of an AR, I have learned alot. But while assisting someone else in their purchase, it occured to me that maybe we can help people out. I propose a thread that we all send in pictures of our setup, detailed, accurate explaination of it's features, and why you find them...

Heading down to Houston Tx for a week. I've been there a few times, but never found any really great gun stores. I'll be staying on the Nw corner of town (Porter), but plan on cruising all over. Also any good knife shops? Preferably Benchmade dealers? Where are your favorites?
