Was flabbergasted by seeing a video of someone by passing an electonic lock on a cheap safe, basically they pulled out the wires through a small hole and used a battery to power it open- is this a concern with gun safes with the electronic locks? Specifically the amsec? Seems the big...

Maybe some shotgun gurus can help me here- I am looking for a 12 gauge ,short barrel gun, LOW RECOIL ! My current "bear gun is an 870 with 1 3/8 oz Brenneke's and that is VERY hard on the body. I put that in so you would have an idea of what I consider to be heavy recoil. Is there a...

Does anyone know how to access this article? A very interesting read in light of our housing/credit crunch and unforeseen consequences. I would like to re read but do not know where to find it. Thanks.

Any tips from the pro's? I want to get a security system and upgrade some locks etc. Was wondering what to look for.

Picked up my first CZ used, a 1999 75B in .40 . Gun seems as if it has had very few rounds through it. Cleaned it up and lubed and am gonna go test it tonight. The question- it came with two mecgar 10 round mags, they have a thick plastic butt plate. There is no way in the world 10 rounds...

Well, I did it- put a CMP mount and Leopold 2.5 scout scope on the Garand. Windy today , but a few hasty eight shot groups showed the smallest at about 1" with two flyers, to the largest at 2 1/4" all inclusive. This is down from a best of about 2 1/2", and a usual of 3"- 3 1/2" or so with...

Anyone ever use that silicone "magic tape" to armor a scope? This is the stuff sold at various shows to repair a multitude of things. It leaves no sticky residue and bonds to itself. I was thinking three or four wraps around a scope tube would work well to protect it from bumps.

OK, I'm gonna do it- scope my M1 with a scout type forward scope- got the scope, a Leopold IER 2.5X ,and a CMP base is on the way. I would like a QD ring setup, so I could use the iron sights if necessary. I have heard of LaRue QD rings, any others I should consider?

Every once in a while I get the bug to move from Puget Sound, generally i look around/visit a place during the summer. Lately, Kentucky has interested me. The Hardwood forests are a lot like the place I grew up. And I am self employed and do not need local customers. I am imagining a 50...

Here's mine- for a three war combat Infantry vet (WW2, Korea, Vietnam) a Carcano he always wanted. For my long time friend, his first M1. For my daughter, a Winchester 9422. What'cha'gettin' for those special ones?!

So the muzzle break on my vepr comes loose- it is retained by three set screws- sort of bogus but ok I guess if the break fit tight-which it does not-I would guess it is at least .020 oversize, enough so I can see no way to tighten down the screws and keep it centered. The question is this...

My cat was growling ,looking out the window just now and I saw what was either the worlds biggest 'yote or a wolf. I would guess three feet at the shoulder, wide chested, gray in color. Almost all the "yotes I have seen around here are scrawny things. Could this have been a wolf? I suppose it...

I know about the Garand ammo issue- that the standard military M2 uses a fast powder so the pressure at the gas port is low, and that most commercial ammo uses a slow powder that can cause a high gas pot pressure and bend an op-rod. So with that in mind, are their factory commercial loads...

No photo but here is the description- my friend recently died unexpectedly- he was a two tour vet , USMC. (Semper Fi, and Godspeed, Steve.) I saw a wood combo shoulderstock/holster in his belongings. It had a leather partial covering that had a magazine pocket (about the size of a single stack...

I'm curious, it always seemed the bad guys should be the ones wearing masks. Hell, even the SS and Gestapo didn't wear them. So what's up with it?

I was cleaning the 7.62x39 vepr and noticed the muzzle brake was loose, it is retained by three set screws. The brake itself is nowhere near a close fit on the barrel, it has a bit of play so I am concerned about how to tighten the screws to get the brake lined up right. Any suggestions for a fix?

As delivered from the CMP, my service grade shot about 5-6" groups at 100 yds, usually a 3-4" cluster with a couple of flyers. I am counting the flyers in the total group size. After staking the gas tube, shimming the stock for a tight fit, relieving the rear handguard, and sending off the...

Ok, not in the eye, on my glasses-good thing I wear them! I have tried lubriplate, and a light clear teflon grease. Both are spitting little grease drops on my glasses. I have reduced the amount to very little, still does it. What am I doing wrong?

After watching a video of some of the swarming attacks on lone individuals by multiple attackers closing quickly and repeatedly punching and clubbing, my first thought was a gun would not be my first choice of weapon. A very sharp knife or pepper spray might be better to deal with multiple...

How is an indirect fire weapon like a mortar aimed? If the shooter and target are hidden in dead ground, you would need a spotter, yes? Is this all done with "old" tech, or do we use a lazer rangefinder and direction (compass point) finder coupled with a gps to establish the target...
