    I am trying to identify this M&P holster...Help?

    So for geeky fan reasons I've been trying to identify off the shelf gear used in Sci Fi shows. This is from Agents of Shield. Presumably it is kydex for a Gen 1 M&P. I can tell it's got an optics cut and a single tensioning screw but I haven't been able to find anything that matches it so far...

    Pandemic project: The rifle that made me stop shooting.

    So my dad gave me this department store labeled Marlin (Glenfield 75) when I was 10. I couldn't run it, could barely pull the bolt back, it jammed every shot, and got frustrated and quit shooting for 25 years. (Note... get kids a bolt action starter rifle) I'm home half the week with kids so...

    Any one else now Increasing dry fire training with lasers?

    In the Before Times I would shoot at my folk's farm when I visited, not often enough. Occasionally a commercial range. Right now we are staying home, and I am only working 3 days a week, so I got one of the laser training systems (iTargetPro) and am working on skills to get up to at least...

    Marlin/Glenfield 75 front sight set screw?

    I am putting the rifle my dad gave me about 80-82 or so back in working order for the first time in 30 years and the front sight set screw has gone missing. Does anyone know where to find one or what size marlin used for set screws generally back then? Danke!

    Sig's P320 X-5 doesn't have a safety but my M17 does, so...

    I got an X-5 grip frame and hacked away! Cutting the slots wasn't bad. I did have to grind away a bit at the edges where the grip thickens, that part won't look perfect, but the safety works freely now. Feels good, and I'm looking forward to the carry options that this modular design makes possible.

    I really thought it would take longer to happen to me...

    No, not an ND. My second trip to an indoor range; 50AE Desert Eagle on my left, AR on my right. Headache for 2 days. I did good work on flinch suppression, though. And yes, plugs and muffs.

    Been working on my Colt Commander

    I got this a few years ago but never did much with it because every mag it would have a failure to feed. Well, I have had more time to tinker than shoot for a while so I decided to try to do a few things to it. A little reading made me think it might be something simple, so I replaced the...

    WWI Walther model 4

    Here's a new to me model 4. The stamping indicates it's one of the subcontracted guns ordered for the Imperial Army. I hadn't intended to buy it, but it was on consignment for $200 so I had no choice.

    How to clean well the chamber on lever guns?

    Title basically says it. I was the keeper of my Grandfather's Winchester 71, as such I oiled it and kept it safe, but didn't really shoot it. But my mother bought out my uncle so she could gift it to me free and clear and so I've actually shot a whole box of ammo and would like to get it good...

    Barrel recommendations for big bore ARs?

    I have solved the quandry of 458 vs 50 Beowulf at last. I will build one of each! But where to shop is the question. I don't want a complete upper, I can build, I've done it before. Where are people getting barrels? 458 i see Brownells has Satern barrel/bolt combos, what do you think about...

    I thought this A5 might be worth a gamble.

    50's light 12. Picked it up after winning the auction for $230 shipped. It was a satin brown color when I got it however my hunch from blowing up the pics paid off and the rust was a very fine thin even layer with a lot of blue left unde r it. Polishing with Plastx and then Hoppes on soft cotton...

    Reloading 348 winchester

    Any recommendations on components and load? I was given my grandfather's model 71 for Christmas (apparently my uncle was going to pawn it until my mother stepped in and bought it) and only have 15 rounds. Internet sleuthing tells me I'm not doing any plinking with commercial ammo.

    Supressor on long barrel?

    So I'm looking at building out an AR possibly in 6.5 Grendel for mostly target shooting and I was wondering if there's any reason not to have supressor on a 24 inch barrel. I won't be rucking this around, so i dont care about unwieldyness or weight. I'm thinking heavy barrel, fluted. Will that...
