A THR member, who shall remain anonymous unless he decides to reveal himself, pointed me to a decision of the Arkansas Supreme Court, which was released a few days ago. The long and the short of it is that it appears that Arkansas lawyers can now carry guns to court, or at least to courthouses...

I use my first 10/22 as a plinker, and also for teaching new shooters. I have it equipped with a threaded barrel, a Hogue stock, and a cheap Bushnell red dot. Because I know we all love pictures, here she is: She may well be my all-time favorite rifle. She'll eat anything in .22LR, and I'm...

Welcome to this week's meeting of Overthinkers Anonymous. Frankly, even asking this seems a little silly, but here goes... I have a couple of rifles I shoot off a bipod. A Ruger American Rimfire and a Howa Mini. I use a Harris bipod that I like pretty well, but I don't have a rear bag. The...

I mentioned in my "Plinker's Paradise" thread that I have a friend with some hearing loss. I'll call it "moderate" hearing loss. He's not stone deaf, but I do have to repeat myself for him from time to time. We discussed suppressors, and he mentioned that he was thinking about suppressing an...

If I've said it once, I've said it a dozen times: I'm a plinker at heart. Sure, I enjoy trying my (unskilled) hand at some distance shooting, and trying to put the bullets through one hole, but I grew up on much less formal shooting. I've killed soup cans by the hundreds. A friend of mine...

I have been itching to build a 10/22 bench gun to go with my RAR Target. Well, it was Gun Show Day & I scored a deal on a 10/22 Sporter. The spec sheet is here: https://ruger.com/products/1022Sporter/specSheets/31166.html I have an extra Nikon Rimfire scope at home, so all I really need are...

More a heads-up than anything: BATFE is now going after solvent traps. https://www.atf.gov/firearms/docs/open-letter/allffls-nov2023-openletter-solventtrapdevicespdf/download

I got out to the range yesterday & it was absolutely glorious! 62*, sunny with a light breeze & I had the range all to myself. Anyway… I shot 150 rounds: (a) 50 rounds of Aguila Super Extra SV, (b) 50 of CCI SV; and (c) 50 rounds of CCI Quiet. 10 shot groups. All suppressed with the Dead Air...

Mossberg's little AR lookalike .22. I might have a line on picking one up at a very reasonable price. I've done a search and can't find any recent threads on these. I don't plan on doing anything fancy with it, just some plinking. Anything I should know about them? Can anyone tell me if...

TLDR: A buddy of mine made some remarks a few days ago that have me questioning the conventional wisdom on .223 and 5.56. Ok, so here's the TL part: For decades, I've heard the conventional wisdom that "you can shoot .223 in a 5.56 rifle, but not the other way around, because of pressure...

On the off chance that there was any confusion about the matter, let me be clear: I'm a Word Nerd. Mind you, I can do math, but if you ever catch me saying it's my strong suit, feel free to call me out, because I'd be lying. So, with my disclaimer out of the way, I have comments and a...

I have the red dot named above mounted on my 10/22. I decided I’d like to move it a little further forward. Unfortunately, I apparently no longer have the right Allen wrench for it. So I dug out an Allen wrench that, frankly, felt right, and tried to remove the mounting screw. And, as you might...

Ok, so it's really a "new to me" Howa Mini. I had a recent thread in which I asked for help deciding what to get when I sold my PC Shield 2.0 .45. One of the options that came up was a .223 bolt gun. Well, I guess Fate smiled upon me. A Howa Mini in .223 popped up in The Trading Post and I...

I already own one suppressor, a Dead Air Mask. I've had it for about 5 years, and have been debating a second can for about 4.7 years. I had a recent thread on what to buy when I sell my Shield 45, and it looks like I've settled on a .223 bolt gun. The obvious question now is "which one?" So...

So I was browsing GB, and I hit upon something I'd never seen: A Browning Buck Mark Rifle! How did I not know this? Anybody got any experience to share on these?

Welcome back to Overthinkers Anonymous. I'm Spats McGee and I'll be your host... So I've had this Smith & Wesson Shield .45 for a couple of years now. Some of you may recall that I've had feeding problems. It's been back to the mothership, and while I haven't kept an exact count, I think...

After much overthinking, I was kinda, sorta, mostly settled on a Hatsan*. But sometimes, I'm cheap. So I kept looking at the refurbs. I had pretty well settled on a Model 87 Vortex QuietEnergy, and the refurb was $129. That seemed pretty good. Then I looked at the "promo deals" page: Model...

Ok, so . . . I think I've decided to hang onto my Ruger Impact. Maybe the problem isn't the rifle, but perhaps shooter error. I've been doing a bit of reading, and perhaps gas pistons are easier to shoot well for a beginner? I had a couple of BB/pellet rifles as a kid and thought I shot...

This long-awaited rule has now been published in the federal register. It can be found here: https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2023/01/31/2023-01001/factoring-criteria-for-firearms-with-attached-stabilizing-braces NOTE: This is the thread in Legal for discussion of this topic. Now...

It looks like my brother found me a project. These pics are all I have. Have not even laid hands on it.
