    suggestions for a truck/trunk long gun to keep there.

    After recently having everything (including old air freshener, tire pressure gauge, and a can of WD40) from inside my truck stolen, I will NEVER keep a firearm in a vehicle for extended periods of time. I've even witnessed a thief breaking into a locked SUV in the middle of the day in a busy...

    .308 help

    I recently bought a Weatherby Vanguard Carbine .308 (built by Howa, Japan) from Budsgunshop.com for $406, and threw on a Weaver K-4 4x38mm scope. A friend of mine has the Marlin XS7 in .243 and it's a sweet shooting gun. The Marlin is probably the better value if you don't mind the blind...

    A few Rem 870 questions. Help deciding

    Birdshot and buckshot don't necessarily require different barrels. Most people just prefer a longer, removable choke barrels for hunting and shorter, cylinder or improved cylinder fixed choke barrel for defensive use. Your first question should be magazine capacity... If a 4+1 capacity is...

    New to the Board and New to the 870

    I wonder why they stopped putting "EXPRESS MAGNUM"? Saves production time, maybe. Here's one I bought in early 2002... The barrels were slightly shorter than the 2 round extension in those days. Regretfully, sold it about a year ago in a state of stupidity. Now I'm looking for another...

    Overall cartridge Length for K31

    I normally back off 0.050" from the point where the bullet is touching the lands. Thus, I would seat to 2.600".

    M&p 340

    I would love to see a "mild" 357 magnum 140gr Gold Dot that can do ~1100 fps from a snub. FYI, Corbon offers a 140gr JHP that is rated at 1300 fps (probably from a 4" or 6" barrel). This could be a slightly stouter alternative to the 125gr DPX (1300 fps). But unless I've overlooked...

    1.25-4 Accupoint vs ACOG?

    You can find ACOGs for nearly the same price as an Accupoint plus mount. I got a really good deal on a NEW TA33R-8 (3X Chevron ACOG) which includes the TA60 mount for $695. The TR21 w/ LT-139 is $726.25 direct from LaRue... a VERY good price. ACOGs are rugged and include a BDC reticle...

    M&p 340

    Carry permit or not, I was eventually planning on getting 442 to satisfy my craving for a snub nose. But, the M&P 340 gives you a far superior tritium front sight, a clear/crisp rear U-notch, better finish and the ability to use 135 gr. Gold Dots at 1000 fps (.357 GDHP-SB) vs. 860 fps (.38 +P...

    M&p 340

    Talk me out of one, please!!! Total nonsense... I don't even have a carry permit. Yet, I'm strangely drawn to the M&P 340. That sight picture of the XS tritium dot through the U-notch is simply amazing. I'm almost ready to place an order with funds earmarked for a 686 3"!!! Like I said...

    Lead Poisoning --Valuable Health Information

    Moratorium on Reloading I've decided to put reloading on hiatus. I have a 5 month old son. Regrettably, I've been reloading in our living room since my wife was 7 months pregnant. Only recently, I discovered that primers contain lead styphnate, and spent primer residue contains...

    Ca Microstamping, AB1471

    On the other hand, I think it's wonderful that Barrett no longer sells firearms in CA... even to law enforcement. This is a great idea! If the citizens can't have guns, neither should the police! Will the other manufacturers give up the CA LE market to support individual gun rights? They...

    Ca Microstamping, AB1471

    I agree with you wholeheartedly! I've contemplated moving to a more gun friendly state. But, all that amounts to is just quiting, giving up, throwing in the towel in our fight for our Constitutional rights. It's very often HYPOCRISY whenever CA expatriates harps on about standing up for...

    midway order and ups ***

    California has MORE than its share of stupid gun laws... MOUNTAINS of BS. But be realistic. The state has no budget to specifically enforce the majority of them. The state is not going to create a special law enforcement agency to inspect common carrier packages. C'MON PEOPLE! GET REAL...

    QUIT SPREADING MISINFORMATION ON THE INTERNET! It probably has nothing to do with California. And it probably has nothing to do with the fact that it's from Midway. UPS pulled this crap with a Barbie doll sent from Virginia to Texas. YES, TEXAS!!!:eek...

    A Colt's worst nightmare: Rust!

    Did the rust look like this? This is what resulted after 1 week storage in a carry case without a cleaning after 6 dusty stages of USPSA (200 rounds) in 105 degree heat. It all came off with elbow grease and CLP. I found similar rust on a couple rifles that were cleaned less than 2...

    whats wrong with this EBAY auction

    If the seller is BATFE, the buyer will probably be a FBI informant. :scrutiny: Such things have happened.
