I have a 870 Express barrel with rifle sights but the blade of the rear sight has been lost. So the rear sight ramp is still there and in the barrel, but I don't have the notched piece which rides the ramp. It's a small part that shouldn't cost much to replace, but I don't know where to find...

What would a bullet and a room have to be made out of to ricochet 3-4 times and still have enough oomph! to penetrate a skull (but not kill) if fired from a handgun and in a standard caliber (9mm, .45, etc)? This is an actual circumstance where the injured person ended up with Wernicke's...

I have a moot court case which springs from the unintentional discharge of a dropped Uzi. I'm looking for figures or drop-test information or Israeli firearm standards which would tend towards such discharge as unlikely/improbable. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

MUST be light, slim, & priced well (because I carry it in light suit pants and... I just lost mine, so I don't want to get something more expensive that I might lose as well). I honestly love this knife and am ready to buy another, but I would've never picked up the first one without a...

Alan Gura is giving a talk on Wednesday about the Parker case, it's merits, with a Q&A session at the end that I'm attending. I can ask between 1 and 5 questions (depending on attendance and time permitting) on behalf of THR and try to post a summation of his replies. It's a professional...

I like how thin the Vapor II is; along with its very solid frame lock. Are there any other slim knives for Every-Day-Carry that are maybe just as thin, thinner, or lighter worth taking a look into?

What do you do in this situation? My uncle, God bless him, got me a Single-Six as I've been wanting one for a while. One should hardly complain getting a free gun, but the salesman at his shop convinced my uncle buy the .17 HMR over the .22 LR. So it's not like my uncle was confused and...

In honor of Independence Day, looking to get something "bad"... suggestions? Obviously, I don't consider it anything but a grown-up toy/tool, but the "stick-it-to-'em" factor certainly is in the spirit of Independence Day! (Note: NJ limits magazine capacities to 15 rounds &...

Roughly how much do you think it will go up- if at all- in value (speculation, I know) if never shot, if used lightly, or if turned into a carry gun? Over, say, 10 years? Obviously guns aren't about making money, but- myself- I've got to think hard before parting with that much money.

It's been defined to me as a level of force that is inherently likely to cause "serious bodily injury" or death. The question is: When have you used it? Some say the moment a gun or vehicle in employed as a weapon, deadly force is in play, because of the potential even if the hit only...

New Jersey has a pretty arbitrary 15 round limit on magazine capacities (at least it's not 10... I love my G19 too much!) and is the only state with that limit, I believe. So when shopping online for EBR mags, I've seen 5, 10, 20, 25, 30, and up... but NEVER any 15 round mags. Short of...

Looks like a good option for warm weather deep concealment and standing the bulge seems reasonable from the pictures I've seen. Nothing that would- say- illicit offended looks... my only concern is the same could not be said upon being seated. Any owners willing to share their experiences...

I do not, at all, begrudge or berate someone who buys one to own one or even carries one because they want to. I'm asking what's the practical benefit of carrying a NAA mini-revolver compared to alternatives in the same size/weight envelope in a defensive situation and related carry issues...

Taurus Hy-Lite "Taurus' Model 85HL2MG .38 Special magnesium revolver weighs a mere 12.5 ounces." Any ideas on a projected MSRP or release date? If it's priced similar to the S&W 642 (probably not much more than the 642 if brand-name prices are taken into account) then I think a lot of...

Well, not really, but play along. Basically, I'm taking Hunters Ed test this weekend which requires a filled out workbook from the home study course. The home study course includes a DVD, fill-in-the-blank workbook, and a study guide. I cannot- for the life of me- get the study guide anywhere...

Which is better? EDIT: Further Clarity, this is what you actually THINK is BEST, not just what you do. I understand that many people compromise between training and enjoying their collections because a defensive situation is not an imminent concern. Think in these terms: If I were planning...

I just received a lightly used 870 Express Magnum (what it says on the receiver, the website for the same model number- 25565- calls it an Express Deer gun). http://www.remington.com/products/firearms/shotguns/model_870/model_870_express_deer_specs.asp I think I know some basic shotgun stuff...

I haven't been able to find this rifle and I'm not completely ready to buy one sight unseen. I've checked all over this state (NJ), but am going to a range in Western PA this weekend and it would be a godsend if I could pick this rifle up and shoot it the same day. If anyone has a hot tip...

I did use the search function first to find these two threads: http://thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=104666 http://thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=32666 But I want a more realistic and comprehensive estimate based on your own experiences. How much for the gun and the inevitable 2nd or...
