    From our NRA lobbyist: Get the word out that the lame duck legislature is going to try to sneak this through while no-ones watching.

    In need of a GOOD .22 scope recommendation

    I have a Marlin 25N (.22LR, bolt action) that I would like to use as a target rifle/"tacky-tickle rifle" trainer. My thought is to shoot it at 25-300 yds. to learn about dialing in bullet drop, compensating for wind, etc., as well as learning about accurizing a factory rifle. I think I'm at...

    AR Lower North West side of STL?

    Can anybody recommend a gun shop on the north west side of St. Louis metro area (O'Fallon, Lake St. Louis area)? Preferably one likely to have AR stripped lowers in stock? I'm in town for thanksgiving, and would love to pick one up while I'm here.

    Anybody have a Krag and a set of calipers?

    I bought a Krag from CMP. It was mostly complete minus sights. I managed to find an original 1901 sight, and got everything back together. I made the front sight blade from some steel stock. I made it a little over tall so I could file it down, but I can't find any info on how tall the...

    Lookee what I found!

    Ok, not that exciting, I know, but I was glad to find it. My wife has a hard time racking the slide on our CZ-75 P-01, but she shoots it well. I decided to get a similarly sized 9mm, but with a bit more meat on the slide, and I have recently been watching too many Hickok45 videos, so I...

    How many rounds through your PF9?

    I've been following the "PF-9 opinions" thread, and there appears to be quite a number of owners on this board. Most say they really like their gun and it has been good to them. I really liked mine while I had it. I put about 175 rounds through it before it broke. I am very hopeful...

    So, when did Winchester 9mm go bulk?

    I was at the farm store today, and they had Winchester ammo on sale. I've got a PF9 that I'm expecting back from Kel-Tec Service sooner or later, so I wanted to have various brands to test it out with. At this store, the ammo is in a locked case. I chatted for a long time with the rather...

    Looks like I get to try out Kel-Tec's Service

    Another PF-9 with a problem. Mine is a recent production S20** serial number. Brought it home, cleaned it up, immediately began to have the common (or so it seems) failure to extract. About 6 in 50 rounds. Cleaned it up, pulled the extractor & cleaned behind it, added a little more curve to...

    Buying a gun for business use

    I'm a farmer. I keep a shotgun and a .22 at the back door as I occasionally have to dispatch a coyote, rabbit, possum, coon, or skunk that is causing a nuisance on the property. I also have a slight....gun collecting problem. Always wanting more...I'm sure that if you regularly visit this...

    Discovered the tomahawk!

    I admit it. I watched and even enjoyed "Top Shot", and when I saw them throwing tomahawks, I said, "that looks like fun". So I dropped one in my Midway cart on my next order. $20 some bucks for the CS Rifleman Hawk. What a Blast! I have a couple dying trees in my yard that I'm cutting...

    Saw a used Hi Point C9 sell at auction today.....

    for $275 !!! :what: I just don't get it. I think most of the bidders were Amish, so that might explain it. I suppose they don't get to go to a gun store....ever, although I am also surprised the Amish would have any interest in a 9mm handgun. I was bidding on something else (big auction...

    Mossberg Chainsaw....I hope Dave M. is sitting down...

    Just when you thought a PGO was worthless enough, Mossberg has upped the ante: Mossberg Chainsaw Shotgun-TheFirearmBlog Envision a Mossberg Cruiser with a thing that goes up horizontal, perpendicular to bore axis, above barrel fore-end :eek: And a Laser!;) I mean, really? The .50...

    Help me spend some money on my first repro revolver

    Gentlemen- I received a Cabelas gift card as a going-away present from my old job, and I have decided it is a good chance to try out black powder revolvers. I have read the stickies, and from that I have made a few decisions, but I want to see if you all have any more advice before I jump in...

    FYI - MDarms 20rnd. drums now $120

    I know there's not too many Saiga 12 guys here; but if you have one and aren't on MDarms email list, he has dropped the price precipitously. They are $120 now, apparently in anticipation of Pro-Mag releasing a similar product at $130, although if they are anything like the stick mags, they...

    Diagnose my CZ barrel; Is this rust or copper?

    I have a P-01 with a barrel that I just can't seem to get clean, and I'm starting to worry it's rusty. I thought it was just some stubborn copper fouling, but I've cleaned it several times with Barnes CR-10 (which was suggested in a previous thread about the problem) and the spots are still...

    Homemade 5 ga. Rotary Tumbler, with Pictures

    A while back there was a thread asking for pictures of home-built rotary tumblers. I was busy with harvest then, but now that winter has set in here in Illinois, I decided to post some pictures of my project. I started with a junk self-propelled lawn mower. I used the gearbox, axles, wheels...

    Photo Experts: getting decent bore pictures

    I'm trying to get decent pictures of my pistol bore to post for advice as to whether I'm looking at copper fouling or rust. The trouble is, I know very little about photography. I'm the guy with the point and shoot that has never left the "auto" setting. Is there any tips you all can give...

    Finally! They shot my hat!

    Some of you may remember previous posts of mine this summer regarding my skeet shooting progress.....when I broke 20, when I got stuck on 22... Tonight I finally shot a straight! :D:D:D At our club, the tradition is that when a shooter gets his first 25 straight on the skeet field, somebody...

    brass jacketed bullet fouling

    I've been practicing my handgun shooting skills lately and have been putting a fair few rounds through my CZ 75 P-01. I figured Czech ammo would be a good bet for a Czech gun, so I bought (a while ago) 1000 rounds of Sellier & Bellot 31045 115 gr. FMJ. The ammo has been fine so far, but I've...

    Argh! I can't break 22!

    I've been shooting skeet all summer now. I steadily improved for a while, but seem to have plateaued at 22. I'm extra aggravated tonight because I made it clean to station 6 and dropped the first target there. That flustered me and I proceeded to miss 2 more there:banghead:, and then break em...
