    medium power pellet rifle

    I know Gamo made one, but it appears discontinued and I can't remember the name to search. Regardless, what I'm looking for is a .177, running 8-900 fps, with noise abatement built in. Prefer spring, willing to consider pneumatic. Any ideas? Thanks, all.

    I need a place to hunt (IL)

    Anyone willing to open up their land for small game hunting and/or trapping (rabbit, squirrel, upland bird, possibly furbearers)? Myself and possibly one other hunter (it's his first season, and I don't want to eat squirrels taken before the first frost kills the parasites, so state ground is...

    need a coach

    Picked up a very large frame semi auto pistol (yes, that one), and my friend who was going to teach me how to master it died unexpectedly. Looking for someone in the Chicago-land area who can teach me to tame the beast. Anybody? Please PM. Thanks.

    history lesson

    While I freely admit to being a Ruger guy, I don't know much of the mechanical history. So educate me: what led to the development of the gp100 over the security six? Thanks, all.

    Recommendations on USP OWB?

    Now that it's getting warmer out (and I'm finding new range rat friends), I'm getting more range time in, but I'm also finding that I need to get some gear. What do you guys recommend for an OWB rig on an H&K USP? I've always liked Crossbreed, but I'm concerned about Kydex on a polymer frame...

    I'm a believer

    Took my new Browning Maxus to the trap field today. Bear in mind, I haven't fired a shotgun in almost 2 years, and haven't shot trap since 2005 at the latest. Got 21 in my first round with it (and yes, I did break the first target with the gun, first shot out of the box). Gun handles like a...

    10/22 conversion

    A while back, Brownells used to sell a conversion kit for the 10/22 that would allow it to cycle the Aguila Super Subsonic rounds (AFAIK, these are .22 short cases with a 60 grain bullet), but they don't list it anymore. Does anyone sell them still? Thanks.

    Easiest gun to build (recommendation)?

    I need something to work on in my down time (very little) and to burn off frustration (a lot), so I figured I might as well look into building something. Since I really don't have anything left on my bucket list as far as guns go, I'm not looking for anything in particular. Limited shop set-up...

    AR barrels in odd calibers, Where?

    Anyone know of a barrel manufacturer for non-standard calibers (finding barrels for bolt guns has been easy enough, but not for the AR)? Thanks.

    SBR upper vs. lower

    Just curious: if you go the SBR route, you have to declare the barrel length and caliber, correct? So what's the point in registering your lower, rather than your upper? Thanks.

    Delta Point question

    Since my vision isn't what it used to be, I'm thinking about picking up a Leupold Delta Point for my target pistol. The problem is, I don't have a scope mount on it (CZ 75). Do I need to get a mount, or will this hold-up if I install the base that fits the rear sight dovetail (will the...

    Multiple Form 4's?

    Is it possible to do multiple Form 4's with the same dealer at the same time, in order to expedite the process, or is it still a guessing game as to what will happen when (i.e. if you decide to pick-up a SBR and a suppressor, does it make a difference whether you fill out both forms at once)...

    NFA repairs?

    Just a newbie question: With the requirements of paperwork for transporting an NFA firearm, how do you go about sending one for repair? Namely, if you have to send your NFA device out of state for service, how do you go about doing it? Do you have to pay another transfer fee to get it back...

    What would this be?

    Random question: A 12 gauge smoothbore pump action that leaves the factory without a shoulder stock is considered an "other weapon." Would a semi-auto be considered the same? Reason I ask is that in my understanding, a "handgun" is designed to be operated with one hand. Technically, would...

    10/22 fa?

    Just a quick question: Has anyone ever seen a fully-auto, fully-transferrable 10/22? Thanks.

    Gunsmith for Ruger No. 1

    Anyone have a recommendation for a gunsmith specializing in Ruger No. 1 rifles? I just found one for cheap that some shoemaker buggered up when he tried to rechamber (overtightened the barrel--hard to see how he could have considered it to be right, since the scope base is still on it and...

    Down to two...

    Help me decide, please: I'm looking for a 9mm target pistol, since .45 costs too much to shoot regularly and sometimes I just don't want to shoot it. Debating between two very different guns, namely the Dan Wesson Pointman 9 and the CZ 75 Shadow T-SA. My thinking is that I want a SAO...

    Mathematics of suppressors

    Dumb question, but are there any formulas as to how to build a suppressor (i.e. dimensions based on caliber, velocity, etc.)? I'm trying to figure out whether something would be feasible or not (paper-planning ONLY, so no need to lecture about the Form 1, etc.). Thanks.

    Rebarreling a BAR

    Dumb question: Can a Browning BAR be rebarreled to a .458 Win Mag from a 7mm Rem Mag? Dumb idea, I know, but is it doable? Thanks.
