    Wasp Spray for Self Defense?

    Hi All, I have a bunch of friends who have bought into this idea. One pointed out that even several self defense instructors were recommending this. I saw where a 22 yr NYPD veteran also recommended it. We put it to the test. Check it out. Time to put this myth to bed...

    9x18 tested - 115 Hard Cast vs 95 JHP Underwood AND Buffalo Bore

    Well, when we posted our last 9x18 ammo test, you asked to see 115 gr Hard Cast, and the UNDERWOOD 95 gr JHP. I don't want to ruin the video, but will just say that the UNDERWOOD JHP is a sweet little round! Enjoy.... if you're into Maks https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1izBXZejuqA .

    Tomorrow last day before NRA pricing goes up

    Hi all, Just a reminder, if you are looking at joining NRA, or renewing your membership, annual membership dues and multi-year memberships are all supposed to increase after tomorrow. Given that 3 of the 4 front-runners for the presidency have either very poor, or questionable ratings on...

    9x18 for Self Defense Revisited

    When I posted the video comparing the 9x18 Hornady FTX against a 9-Luger JHP and a .38 Special JHP, many of you asked me to test more 9x18 rounds (as well as other .38 SPCL rounds - that test is coming). You asked, I tested - ACCURACY, PENETRATION & WOUND CAVITY. Buffalo Bore 95 gr +P JHP...

    9x18 Mak vs 9 Luger or 38 Spcl for winter carry - Ballistics gel tests

    Hi all, We compared 3 common "lite" defensive rounds for winter use, by firing them into ballistics gelatin through a heavy winter coat. I thought some of you might like to see the results. Is 9x18 suitable for carry? I think most shocking was the failure of the .38 spcl Hornady...

    Hi all, I thought some of you might like this. Just a Father and Son Run-N-Gun we shot the other day to compare these 3 military rifles. Nothing serious, just having some fun on a sunny winter day. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Udv2xUkGctU

    Bi-pod, with, or without springs?

    Looking at getting a bipod for a hunting rifle. I noticed some have the spring returns on the sides, and others have the button for lowering or retracting the bipod legs. Which do you prefer? Have you had issues with either?

    Best hunting scope for under $100?

    Hi all, Looking for a low cost optic for a Mosin 91/30 build. I came across a 91/30 which a gunsmith (or home gunsmith;)) had added a bent bolt, and rear scope mount. I would like to be under $100, but would go over for a really good option. I would like something variable, at least 3-9x...

    Swiss K11 Carbine vs K31

    Hi All, I really want to add a Swiss rifle to the C&R collection. I want the k31, but there aren't any deals I can find on a k31 right now. There is one local guy who has been asking $500 for an average k31 for months, but I think I can get a better deal on a K31 if I am patient...

    Giving NRA memberships as gifts?

    I've been thinking about this for a while. Anyone tried it? I'm not suggesting giving one to your "only the government should have guns" wacky neighbor, but to friends who have interest, or maybe own guns, but are not members. I think it might be a great way to boost numbers, and I...

    Newbie questions

    Hi all, I have never reloaded. I really enjoy shooting, and my favorite guns to shoot seem to be C & R rifles. I am looking at the RCBS kit at Cabela's HERE and have a few questions. I would be most appreciative of any answers from those of you who reload. 1. Can I use non RCBS dies in...

    NICS information Stolen?

    Yesterday I got a letter from the United States Office of Personnel Management's acting director Beth F. Cobert. Informing me that my personal information from a submitted background check had been compromised by a "malicious cyber intrusion", and informing me that the Office of Personnel...

    Aim Surplus Promo Code???

    Hi all, I was looking at getting some stuff from Aim Surplus, when you get to the check-out screen, it asks if you have any promo codes, which makes me think there must be some promo codes for free shipping, or discounts or something. Does anyone have or know of a promo code for Aim...

    Shooting the Mosin m44 and T53 on a cloudy day

    Hi all, I thought some of the Mosin Nagant fans stuck in the office might get a kick out of this. I recently de-cosmolined a T-53 for a friend. I decided I'd better test it out to make sure it was safe before giving it back. ;) I put 15 rounds through it, just to be sure, and also broke...

    Refinish stock on M48 BO Mauser???

    Hi all, I picked up a Yugo M48 BO (Bez Oznake, or "unmarked"). I did the cosmo removal last night errr, between midnight and 2:30 AM to be more accurate. The machining, barrel, floor plate, follower and bolt are all marvelous, and all serial numbers match, (oddly, it starts with a "w"...

    DPMS Oracle .223 for $449; is it any good?

    Hi all, I noticed that a few local sporting goods stores have the DPMS Oracle .223 for $449 for Black Friday. I have never really looked closely into ARs, more of a wood and leather & historical value kind of guy, but this seems like a good deal. Is the DPMS Oracle a good AR-15...

    Swedish 6.5 x 55, did I mess this up?

    Hi all, As I indicated in my earlier threads, I am planning on purchasing one or two C&R rifles/yr, because I enjoy them, and as an investment. I made my list of the 3 rifles I wanted to start with (in no particular order, just as I found good deals) 303 Enfield K-31 Swiss M48 Mauser...

    Never Clean your Barrel?????

    Hi all, I was watching a video on how to maintain a semi-auto rifle. The purported expert cleaned the bolt, bolt face the receiver area, but he didn't clean the barrel, and said he never cleaned ANY of his barrels, even the ones that shot corrosive ammo, and he claimed that his rifles just...

    Do you have a surprise gun?

    Hi all, I was wondering if any of you have a gun that you have been really surprised with? Maybe you got it because of a low price, or it was given to you. You weren't really excited, but you really ended up liking it a lot. or A gun you were totally stoked to get, and ended up being...
