Folks - is it possible (safely) to change FMJ bullets on factory 9mm ammo to the same weight JHP bullets that, say, I purchase from a reloading supplier? (Bullet manufacturer)? I saw on TV (haha) some people use momentum to extract the bullet from a case by slapping some kind of stick device...

Hi folks - instead of giving my gun to the rather incompetent LGS folks (I don't say that lightly) I just want to DIY and put Trijicons on my 92A1. Anyone used the P500 UNIVERSAL SIGHT TOOL to do the sights? (Front and rear)? Seems rather pricey with the full kit being some $250 (includes...

Hello everyone, I tried searching and searching around here for "Stinger" and "22LR" but... not really sure about the search results. Anyway, I ended up getting yet-another-gun, a 22LR. Remington 597 Yellow Jacket. I scoped it with a simple 9x and got a couple extra 10 mags. GOALS...

I got this (not my listing; just wanted to show you the photo) in 22LR: http://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/manufacturers_id/3/products_id/46734 Will this work...

Thinking of getting a (good quality) bolt gun with the same 1:8 twist as my AR so I can just standardize on the same .223 ammo. What is the optimal length I should go for to reach maximum range for the .223? And what might be (a ballpark for) that max effective range with I suppose the heaviest...

I got the BAD lever installed as a newbie AR buyer. Now that I have some time to think about the whole thing, I am wondering if the lever will actually have LEVERAGE to cause breakage of the "ping pong paddle" and whether or not I should just remove it? What are your opinions on this?

I am having trouble understanding and executing the technique of calling the shot based on where the front sight is, at the moment of the bullet breaking out of the muzzle. Everything is happening so fast, I can't seem to concentrate sufficiently for things to do the Hollywood slo-mo and...

Was reading this: http://www.303british.com/id36.html Now I am confused and worried about my upcoming rifle choices (semi-auto and bolt). I am not sure if the guy on that page is just trying to sell a book (no problem with that so long as the info is accurate) or what. If .308...

So, two things: 1) I bought* another Glock! Woot!!! I hope there is someone here who understands how I am feeling! 2) What do you guys think of the compensated versions? I decided not to go for the compensated, even though I had never really thought about it until today when the LGS asked me...

All my LGS seem to only have the HD version and said the original Trijicon tritium ones need to be sourced (and are cheaper). I am wondering, are the HD ones superior? I have tritium sights on my AR and they seem "fine" - not sure if I should go through the hassle of trying to source the...

Hello - I know very little about crossbows and bows, except for that I learned in a hunting certification class eons ago. But if anyone here has already researched and bought a crossbow for SHTF type of HD scenarios where a firearm is not usable or available, I would appreciate you sharing your...

Hello - I was looking at the Mossberg (SPX 8) and a few other guns but was not able to find any that looked like it had an under-gun rail to attach a light? I can't see having the light on top, which is what the SPX 8 seems to have as a (short) rail. And I *assume* that 8 shots are better...

I filed down some parts of the trigger (on an AR) to smooth out the edges which were catching my finger. The black coating is gone and the metal is revealed. Should I just get a bluing kit and paint over it? I saw a bluing kit at the LGS. Not sure if that is what it is used for. I also...

I assume it's the rifling that is wearing down and this is not really applicable to smoothbore. So, if the rifling gradually gets worn down (lands worn off) then would it be accurate to say that the RANGE accuracy gradually decreases? So the bullet maintains accuracy to a certain distance...

Howdy, My AR came with the Magpul BUIS so I want to put on some night sights. What is a good sight for that? I assume they are just rail attached, onto the flat top Picatinny? Or do I just need the front sight to be tritium and not worry about replacing the rear BUIS? Thanks.

http://www.laserlyte.com/collections/lts Anyone have this? Used before? Nothing can replace shooting ammo for real, but if this can help dry fire practice (and, importantly, not actually be DETRIMENTAL to good practice) it might be worth the couple of hundred bucks (can't go to the range...

OK, I've done the research and narrowed down my .308 bolt gun to the below. After this, some months later, I will get a .308 Semi-Auto, then a shotgun. But for now, which of these should I go for? (I am favoring the X-Bolt except for the non-synthetic stock; this might be a dumb question but...

Hi guys - I only ever see JHP or FMJ at the LGS. I might have to ask next time I'm there, but are there JSP options in .223 and 9mm? I hardly ever hear anyone talk about JSP.

I was reading this http://www.survivalblog.com/2011/05/pats_product_reviews_the_ptr91.html so, what are your thoughts on the HK91 and/or the PTR91 regarding ammo versatility? Should I just throw away the assumption that either of these HK91 platforms will actually feed reliably with a...

Hello Glock people, I shot an early gen (no markings saying Gen3 or what) Glock 17 and it was really good. It felt way easier to shoot accurately than my Gen4 Glock 19. Any idea what might have differed? I remember, when buying the Gen4 19, that the LGS had showed me a Gen3 19 and the center...
