    Sig P220 Match

    Does anyone know when this thing will be available for order? The Sig website just says later this year. I've heard great things about Sig and will doubtless put this puppy through its paces.

    Increasing state reciprocity

    This is an extension of "National CCW" which most probably won't happen, but I think this is much more doable. Thoughts?

    Any hope for a National CCW permit?

    General aviation. Ultimate freedom. Travel with a gun. Want to stay law-abiding. Crazy state gun laws hamper and confuse. I've heard a horror story from an NRA instructor who said this hunter was returning from a hunting trip and had his guns in the plane with him. The plane had to do an...

    Shot a revolver the other day. Did not like much.

    It was a double action .22lr revolver. It felt unbalanced in my hand and the action itself felt cumbersome. Seemed to take forever for the hammer to cock and the cylinder to rotate and the gun to go off. This can only contribute to detrimental accuracy. Which was the result when I shot it...

    M1A accuracy

    Okay, this subject has probably been beaten to death here but I would like some opinions. Just how accurate is a Springfield Armory M1A, especially the match-grade rifles? How well would it do up against say a MilCun rig?

    Race Gun

    Why is a race gun called a race gun? They are the funkiest looking competition class rifles I've ever seen. And are those weights that you put on the buttstock to balance the rig for the standing position when competing in long range high power competition?

    JP rifles anyone?

    I was thinking about ordering a custom job from these folks. Anybody have experience with them? www.jprifles.com This is probably what I may settle on.

    Olympic Arms AR in WSSM

    They have the .243 WSSM and the .25 WSSM in what looks like a match-grade AR frame. Anyone have accounts of the ballistic performance of these rounds through this particular manufacturer?

    Bush keeps on rolling with the punches

    You know, I have to hand it to President Bush. Despite the flak he gets from the media and the "Bush bashing" that is currently fashionable the guy keeps to "the mission". Despite some events that demonstrate just how in a bubble he is you have to hand it to the guy. He doesn't vacillate. I...

    THR members being baited by trollers and lurkers?

    I was just checking out TFL website and noticed that there are similar threads on both sites. I was wondering if maybe there are lurkers and trollers out there who set up a thread and bait us on what we think on a certain subject. Maybe they are "the gun-grabbers" or the media itself...

    Non-lead bullets

    I know Remington offers Heavi-shot in its shotgun ammo to help abate the lead poisoning of waterfowl and keep the wetlands lead free. I was wondering if they can use the same technique for rifle ammo. Or is it ballistically impractical?

    I know what I want for Christmas

    Okay, I've been on the boards inquiring about this rifle and that rifle but I have finally settled for one rifle that should satisfy my needs and wants. It's the new Alexander Arms Tactical 16 chambered in the "red-hot" new round; the 6.5mm Grendel. It'll be a pretty penny but I think it...

    Just when I gave up hope...Browning saves the day

    Yes. It is true. Left-handed semi-auto rifles from Browning. Hallelujah!:D :D :D ;) http://www.browning.com/products/catalog/firearms/category.asp?value=002B

    Are Brownings overpriced?

    Well, I had a discussion the other day about rifles with one of the guys at work and I mentioned that I might own a Browning some day. I almost bought one of their BPS shotguns considering that they are loaded and eject shells from the bottom port. I am a lefty. But I bought a used Winchester...

    The way of the .22-250

    This is one fun round. :D ;) I've got a Savage in this chamber and it's my favorite at the range. Much less punishing than the .30-06 I have. :eek: Man, another shooter was spotting for me at the range and I shot some junk steel lying on the range for the hec of it and it made quite an...

    Lapping a barrel

    Can someone explain lapping a gun barrel to me? I've read that there are kits to do this and it could make a definite difference in accuracy.

    Both political parties seem to have lost their way

    Can someone recommend a good book where one can read up on the history of both major political parties in this country? I've been told that the current Democrats are really the Republicans of old. The last great true Republican president being Teddy Roosevelt. That was before he left office then...

    American trying to work in Mexico?

    A friend sent me this email. Not sure if it is true but interesting nonetheless. Read on. Here is a first-hand experience from an American working in Mexico...maybe we (the US) could take a lesson!!! Subject: Americans working in Mexico From the other side of the fence...
