Recently I went with a friend of mine to the local gunshop where he purchased a new rifle. I've known him for years and know that he is restricted from owning a firearm. Makes me wonder just how reliable the current back ground check is. Thought for sure he would be denied. I assume lieing...

What's the best low priced scope? Would like a 3x9 or 2x7 Hate to want good and cheap but with my black powder hobby, fishing, and now air rifles my wife is gonna crap a brick if I make another large purchase any time soon. By cheap I mean in the 50-60 dollar range.

Ok I know it's cheap but I have a gamo big cat. Using the scope that came with it I have the scope adjustment turned all the way to the left or maybe 1 or 2 clicks till no more. Just wondering if the scope is fubar or is the barrel bent? Had the gun less than a month. Was shooting fine took...

Always remember air guns aren't toys and have a very high probability of killing any human with the correct shot placement. Very unfortunate this 12 yr old girl died from a 6 yr old, Shooting her with a pellet gun...

Took the Gamo 1250 to the woods today. Pyramid Air installed the crappy scope (which I will soon change) sighted it in and shot 20 shots through chrony. 7.2 gr, highest velocity was 968 fps lowest was 959 fps. Thought that was pretty consistent ! I bought the 8.4 gr diablo round nose...

I see some reviews on PA that some people wash their pellets with water and detergent. Then they lube them. Is this necessary? If so, what is the recommended method for cleaning and what type lube should I use? Bought a tin of the JSB Diabolo exact match 8.4 gr. I also bought the Gamo...

Any opinions on this rifle in .22 cal ? Seems the reviews on PA are very good. Seems like a lot of power for the buck.

Why are laws so confusing? This is Alabama's law pretaining to carrying a firearm in a state park ProhibitedDevices(220-5-.08) (1) It shall be unlawful for any person other than a duly authorized law enforcement officer to possess or carry into any State Park any form of firearm without...

I understand the reason for not using smokeless powder in a BP gun. But what I am pondering is what type barrel would be required to have a smokeless muzzleloader? Are there any manufactors that make a smokeless ML pistol or rifle? What is the big difference from a cartridge barrel and a BP...

Has anyone experimented with making ballistic gel? I found a recipe on internet. Just wondering if there is a better one. http://www.wikihow.com/Make-Ballistics-Gel

This may be a dumb question. But will the local Leo enforce say a federal law? For lnstance the fed domestic violence law ( which is absolutely ridiculous ). Under alabama law that is not a crime that banns you from possessing. If a person was stopped with a rifle and has a conviction for...

I don't own a pellet rifle and until the air gun forum here opened really never thought about one I mainly shoot black powder and love the challenge of it. My question is for a starter rifle what is recommended? How bout a gamo? I don't want to spend a lot of money but do realize I get...

Is a reproduction cannon legal to own or does it have to be registered with the BATFE?

Whats going to be the impact of our newest mass killing? Wonder if this will be classed as workplace violence? or terrorist attack? or just some wacko out killing for the joy of killing. I don't know, but the attack on our 2a is going to come out with a ferocity we have not seen yet over this...

I am positive the Navy yard shooting which occurred today will be enough ammunition for the anti's to attempt another run at our 2A in some capacity. Lunatics with no moral values and no regard for human life are going to be the downfall of gun rights in the USA. They are already saber...

New town will be much safer now. You can't shoot 4 hours after police are called (sligtly confused on that) and if you choose to target practice you must have a backstop 10 ft above target. Unbelievable!!!

Just curious how closely the Feds are looking at these forms. Can someone walk in to a store. Purchase a rifle or pistol and lie on the 4473 and walk out with a new gun. Does the FFL do the required checks or does he just get paperwork. In Alabama we don't have a waiting period.

What kind of accuracy should I expect out of a replica 1860 sharps breech loader?

I was reading the sticky post on how to make BP. It says I can purchase a "ball mill" at harbor freight. When I do a search at the harbor freight web page for a ball mill. Nothing comes up other than trailer balls etc. Is there a technical name for a ball mill?

Do firearm restriction acts such as the firearms apporpriations act of 1997, the Brady Bill or the executive orders just handed to us by the POTUS ever expire?
