    Must see Video

    Not a short video- but a great one. This is a video that will crystallize what you already know, and help you make the case for what gun control really means.... From Armenia to Russia, to china, Germany, Cambodia, Guatemala, to the United States. The consequences of firearm registration and...

    Old Ammo boxes

    Got a box of my grandfathers old stuff recently. He's been deceased for about 25 years. In the box I found a 1952 Alaska non-resident hunting license (he lived on the east coast US but went to AK to work a few different times). The license was $10 which was probably significant then, no...

    sub $400 revolver

    I have quite a few semi-autos (22, 22wmr 'pmr-30', 9mm, .40 and .45). I'd like to add a revolver to my collection. Just doesn't seem right I have all these s. autos and no wheel guns. Doesn't need to be anything fancy. In fact I would like just a good, common wheel gun in a common caliber...

    Minimum acreage for shooting (Wake CO, NC)

    I'd like to be able to walk out my back door and squeeze off a few rounds without creating a reportable offense. I live in Apex, NC on a .5 acre lot. I'm pretty sure if my mower backfires I'll be talking to the local constabulatory. Let alone the discharge of an actual firearm. So I'd like...

    Girls first gun- customization

    I am getting my niece her first gun. It is a Savage Rascal single shot 22. Here is the link: http://www.savagearms.com/firearms/model/rascal/ . If you wait on that page it should cycle through to the pink one. It looks like a great little gun for training, with good, adjustable peep sights...

    "Track" your brass?

    For years I have saved brass. Just started reloading. So this brass is known once-fired (except for a few stray range pick ups). I also got a lot from the guy I bought my Dillon 550 from. Several thousand rounds of 45 acp, etc. This is from the seller's collection- I think most if not all-...

    Niece's first gun- recommendations

    My grade school niece has just informed me that she has parental approval for her to get a gun, as long as it stays in my safe (for now) when she's not with me shooting it. She also informed me that she wants it pink!!!!! She has shot a .22 rifle, .22 pistols, and a dozen shots of some larger...

    45 Colt Recommendations

    I purchased my first reloading setup recently and it came with lots of extras- including some 45 colt brass- maybe 500-1000 cases. I suppose I could sell or trade it.... But I think it makes more sense for me to buy a gun to shoot it. :D Although I have a taurus judge 3" chamber that will...

    What if? Double-charge powder

    I'm new to reloading and I'm reloading 230 gr fmj winchester 45 ACP bullets with 3.8 gr bullseye powder, in accordance with my Lyman manual. I'm working with a Dillon 550b, and paying attention - especially when going from stage 2 to 3- even when having issues with stage 1- priming the case. So...

    Inexpensive .223. Rossi Break-barrel?

    I've got an itch to get an inexpensive .223 rifle to plink with, with price and accuracy being more important than action and capacity. I'm hoping I can get something for $200-$300. I can have fun with it until I can put a scope on it if it doesn't come with one. I was thinking about a Rossi...

    Springfield Armory 1911- Had to have it!

    Most of my pistols are polymer pistols suitable for carry, or 22s..... I've been reading about 1911's. The history, and the mechanics. I saw one recently and I put it in my hand and thought- I have to have this. It weighs about 47 pounds unloaded, I think. It is a: Springfield Armory...

    .257 reloading help

    I'm new to reloading. I have purchased a used Dillon 550b setup with lots of extra stuff. For example I have the powder measurer, tool head, etc. I don't see a .257 caliber conversion kit on the Dillon site. Probably because it is not listed that way- I know the .257 roberts is a necked...

    New to reloading- help me buy

    I posted recently about “reload or buy” ammo. Based partly on everyone’s input I’ve decided to take the plunge! I’ve been reading on the subject, and I’m getting excited about getting started. I’m planning to get started with a single stage press, and dies for 9mm. I’m thinking a Lee...

    Buy or Reload?

    Let's say you had $750-$1000 now and you'll have $500-$750 a year for each of the next few years to spend on ammo. And your goals are 1)economy, 2) accuracy, 3) an enjoyable passtime/hobby, in that order. Specifically- you want to mostly build up lots of ammo for plinking, range practice, and...

    Which Glock?

    I purchased a Glock 23, used in 2001. On 9/12/2001 to be exact. I like the way it shoots. But I don't know- What "generation" is it? What are the differences in the Generations? <edit> Thanks, Scott
