    Taurus G3 (Good or Junk)

    The Taurus G3 is my EDC and has been for a while. The pistol is solid built, reliable and accurate.

    It sounds like there really might be a new Primer factory on the horizon

    I believe that the $100 Mil was a typo or misquote, another source said $100,000. I have found no other source that has mentioned a $100 mil investment

    It sounds like there really might be a new Primer factory on the horizon

    I live in TX, not to far from there. Yeah, it's true, they are aiming to be fully operational the first of 2023. They will specialize in primers, but will be making complete ammo as well, not sure yet what all ammo they will be making.

    Cleaning 223- Patches continue to come out Dirty

    I know some folk don't like using bore snakes, but I use them extensively, plus I clean after just about every range session. My cleaning routine is as follows. Separate upper from lower and spray Oreilly's non-chlorinated brake cleaner down barrel and chamber, let sit. Take apart BCG, clean...

    AR-15... how much less accurate is a delta ring vs freefloat?

    Depends on what your end goal is. Competition bullseye shooting or normal, every day defense or hunting? If competition, then go free float, any thing else you can just use regular hand guards. In my own personal experience, the free float guards did improve accuracy a bit. Went from a 2" group...

    Foam vs silicone ear plugs vs muffs?

    I have the Decibullz custom fit ear plugs. If done right, are very quiet, can't hear normal conversations.

    AR .22 conversation kit. Who's to pick?

    I have the CMMG drop in kit, never had an issue and is very accurate. Of course I have a 1:9 twist barrel, other twist rates may not be very accurate. I know with my drop in kit, I can hit pennies at 35 yrds with no magnification. At 50 yrds, maybe a 1 inch or a bit bigger group, not gonna try...

    Who has shot a "zero-jam" semi auto?

    I have about 500 rnds through my Taurus G3, way more than that in my G2C, have had no issues with those that was firearm related, did have a few issues with very cheap aluminum cased ammo.

    Tree Stands from Yesteryear Picture Thread

    Some of my less than optimal stands have included non-operational pump jacks. I have even unbolted the ladder off of pump jacks and stood them against a tree. Don't have any pics, but I made one from a telescoping aluminum ladder. The seat folded flat and locked in place with a couple pieces of...

    Homemade ballistic gel

    I have used the same recipe to make ballistics jell. The 1oz gelatin to 8oz water is pretty damn close to calibrated 10% ballistics jell. This is perfectly fine for DIY'rs that want to do their own testing.

    Opinions of the Taurus G3, please

    For what it's worth, I have always had great customer service from Taurus. As far as the G3 goes, I have one and it's a solid shooter, haven't had one issue. I also have the G2C and haven't had an issue with that either. Is this going to be your EDC or a night stand/truck/backup pistol? IMO, I...

    Hybrid rifle slings?

    I have tried almost every sling out there, and find the tactical sling is the most versatile. They can be used to steady your rifle while shooting. Unlike traditional or GI slings, which is hard to adjust and therefor stay at a certain length, you can adjust the tac slings on the fly and can get...

    300 blackout was a mistake

    I was very close to buying a 300BLK upper, but decided at the last minute at the checkout page, to go against it. Sure, it's easily suppressed and works well out of a short barrel, but the cons out weight the pros. With all this craziness going on, should have gone ahead and bought it and traded...

    Not the trigger finger!

    Got my trigger finger chewed up a couple years ago, still shot strong hand, but used my middle finger. Surprisingly, I was still able to shoot very accurately that way.

    Barrel of my AR-15 is scratched. Is it worth trying to fix?

    Yup, just get a sharpie and go over it, wipe it with a cloth to take off the shine.

    Where have all the hand guards gone?

    If you want a non-free float hand guard, I have a carbine length quad rail that I could let go of.

    Hunting clothes,

    I live in Texas, not that cold here. When it does get cold, I wear my Wall's overalls and jacket. https://www.walls.com/overalls/zero-zone-insulated-bib-overalls/93053.html?dwvar_93053_color=PC9#start=1...

    Hunting clothes,

    People tend to overthink the whole "hunting clothes" deal. I hunt in regular jeans and a tan or blue Wrangler work shirt. Your scent and movement will give you away a lot more than what you wear. With that said, I will wash my clothes, if new, several times with a non-scented, non UV brightener...
