    Nashville Glock store- my experience

    Mrs. Fl-NC & me stopped in this place this AM on our way back to NW Fl after a few days vacation in music city. Its a huge store, very nice, with indoor ranges that the shootter can fire 270 degrees. They have lots of nice stuff (guns, accessories, holsters, shooting gear, cleaning equip., etc.)...

    Dog attack

    Yep, it can happen. I was on my way home from town yesterday driving down a sparsely populated road (although there are some "shady" looking residences along this road- trailers with junk all over the place, etc), and I saw a lady with a bicycle but she wasn't riding it. My first thought was...

    1776 ammunition- anyone use it?

    I saw something new at my LGS yesterday- ammunition from a company called 1776. It is lead free and jacketted in some type of nylon. It is designed for training use, especially for indoor ranges. What caught my eye was the price- $22 for a box of 50 45 ACP. It is loaded with a 145 grain bullet...

    Turkey attacks?

    My news feed keeps send me stories about people being attacked by wild turkeys in multiple locations in Massachsetts. A mailman got sent to the hospital and people are freaking out about being stalked, attacked, having their cars chased, and so on. One guy is running them off with a hockey...

    300 blackout AR experts- explain please

    My only 300 BLK is a Ruger bolt action. I am considering getting one of the uppers from PSA with a 16" barrel, but I noticed that they all use a "pistol length" gas tube. Can someone explain the purpose of this, because PSA apparently doesn't have tech people to explain questions like this. For...

    Ruger American Ranch in 223? Anyone?

    Who has one of these? I would like to hear about it. Information I am looking for: 1- What ammo are you using, and what size groups are you getting with whatever ammo is being used? 2- How is the overall experience shooting it? Does it feed well? 3- If yours is suppressed, is it direct thread...

    How quickly things can take a bad turn and escalate

    Not my usual sub-forum, but I thought I'd share the story of my Friday evening. I decided to take advantage of some nice weather and go for a short ride, and head over to a friendly establishment not too far from home to grab a burger and a refreshment. When I got there, as usual, my friend...

    Van's gun blue- school me up

    I have a Remington model 11 that is badly in need of a face lift. There is almost no bluing left on the metal, and the wood is really bad too. In fact, the forearm looks like the last owner had acetone on his fingers the last time he handled it. The metal is so bad, I need to frequently oil the...

    Butler creek scope cover rant

    I'm looking for some flip-open scope covers SIMILAR to the ones from Butler Creek except with 1 added feature- I want something that doesn't break so easily, and seemingly for no reason. I've lost count of how many I broke over the years. The US mil furnishes these things with all of the sniper...

    Most of them

    Between the terrible weather and intense boredom, I rooted through every box, drawer, piece of hunting and shooting gear, old kit, truck, jeep, display, and so on and collected what I am sure must be ALMOST all of my knives that aren't box cutters, multi tools, or belong in the kitchen. I know...

    Tisas or RIA?

    A friend of mine who is also a Veteran is moving for a while to a jurisdiction where his 2nd amendment rights are going to be considerably infringed. Many of the guns he owns will not be able to make the trip. He is very experienced with firearms of various types, including the 1911 in various...

    Midway USA? Hello?

    Looks like their website is down- error message every time I try to access it. Has this been going on for a while? Is it a IT issue, or is something else afoot?

    Holster for Ruger standard

    That's what I got and that's what I need a holster for. It is from the late 70's, with 4 3/4" barrel, skinny profile as opposed to a bull barrel. I would be happy with either leather or kydex- right now its in a nylon flea market piece of trash that was designed for some other type of handgun...

    Fiocci low recoil 1 oz 12 ga slugs

    I have a quantity of these things left over from my 3 gun days. As advertised, they are def. low recoil, and worked good in my Mossberg 930 JM PRO when I did 3 gun (back when ammo was available and affordable) but I never tried them for any other use. I found 1 random slug in a gear bag of stuff...

    Culling the knife "collection"

    A couple of weeks ago Mrs. Fl-NC got a nasty old fashion cold (not of the "newer variety" that was supposed to be a extinction level event) so she was on the couch and not doing much for a few days. Between spending time keeping her comfortable, etc, I was able to get all kinds of "busy work"...

    School me on shotgun sights for turkeys

    I have a Remington 870 express magnum with 21" barrel, threaded for chokes. It has a vent rib and 2 bead sights. I want to install fiber optic turkey sights on the gun. It seems like the front sight for these is held onto the vent rib with a magnet, which I am not wild about. Is there any reason...

    Cheap to shoot cheap shooter?

    Was wondering yesterday- what is/would be the cheapest center fire rifle/ammo combo to fire at the lowest cost to feed? Also, what is the cheapest round to buy in our current times? I'm thinking the answer to both questions is the Mosin. What do ya'll think?

    Norma hunting ammunition

    Recently I have been noticing an increasing availability in Norma ammo at sporting goods stores, gun shops, and gun shows. In the past (before things got "weird") I always bought my hunting ammo from the American "household brands" that we all grew up with :Winchester, Remington, and Federal...

    realoadingoutdoor.com

    I'm sure this is a scam site- prices too good to be true, misspellings throughout (shortgun ammo), and a strange menu displaying options for things like "sweaters". "footing", "booking", etc. (no products to show). Stay away.

    feeder repair- looking for suggestions!

    I had a slight mishap about 2 years ago that resulted in one of my feeders falling over on me and breaking/cracking the barrel. I repaired it with liquid nails and it did good for 2 hunting seasons, but the epoxy started to give up the ghost this past season. Fortunately, it's easy to pull the...
