Hi all, I've given up on my Benelli M1, the stupid inertia recoil system just sucks too much. I've been trying to tune the gun to work with everything from low power birdshot up to full power 3" slugs, and I've finally realized it AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN, especially when resting/bracing the gun...

Does anyone know anything about the ballistic trajectory of a typical high velocity 40mm grenade fired from the Mk19 or Mk47 grenade launcher? I'm having a hard time finding info out on these rounds, such as projectile mass, cross sectional density, ballistic coefficient, or even projectile...

Sorry, I've got a bit of a rant here. What is it about the firearm industry that ensures that we will never see an intensive, detailed, honest review of a riflescope? I have yet to read a review of any riflescope where the thing was actually comparison tested by an expert. Most of the time...

Let's say that I wanted to go out and purchase somewhere between 100 and 1000 SKS rifles. I have been informed such a purchase would not be allowed due to the fact that the rifles are obviously not intended for "personal use." Are there any federal laws that say you must be purchasing the guns...

So here's the situation, you just witness some punk/gangmember/drunk driver run down an innocent bystander through a crosswalk, and he's speeding your way. It even looks to you like he hit the person on purpose, for amusement. You have the opportunity to shoot and knock out his tires. Do you...

OK, I just took my new CZ-452 "Varmint" .22 LR to an indoor range today to break it in, and see how well it works (using Federal "gold medal" .22 LR ammo). I threw in the aftermarket adjustable sear, free floated the barrel, and attached a Leupold Vari-X III 4.5-14x50 A/O illuminated scope...

Hey guys, I went out to the desert yesterday and did some armor piercing tests with a friend's 50 BMG. The plate pictured is a piece of 1" thick A2 tool steel, really tough stuff. Shot the plate three times, twice with some AP M2 rounds, and once with a AMAX 750 grain bullet. The AP round...

Hey all, strange question I have here. My grandfather was in WW2 and while there he captured a WW1 luger from a surrendering German officer. The officer claimed it was his father's during WW1. Anyway, my grandfather took it and brought it back home with him to Canada. The pistol is now in the...

Well, how about it? Let's say that the Dems back off and nominate a true blooded Democrat for president in 2008, except he/she is hardcore proguns. Would you vote for the democratic ticket, or still vote Republican/Libertarian. I personally think that if the Dems have the guts to do something...

Was wondering if someone here could help me out. I remember seeing this bit on the Outdoor channel a while ago about some "super" gun store out in AZ somewhere (I think), and the show said they had the largest store in the country (or close to it) and had their own Class 3 section, with an...

So, I'm sitting here, writing my Ph.D. thesis, and I think to myself, I wonder if I know more about guns than chemistry? I mean, seriously, I could probably write just as much on either topic. So what about you guys? How many of you feel like you know as much or more about guns than you do about...

Hey, I just had a question I've been wondering about for a while now. It seems to me that if you spend enough money, you can get an M1A to shoot 1/2 MOA. This is as accurate as a match grade .308 bolt gun, so the question is, if you have the cash, why would you ever go for bolt when you could...

I just bought a new SU-16 rifle here in CA, and was just wondering why it has an 18.5" barrel? Can I cut it down legally to 16", or is there some strange law I am unfamiliar with? Perhaps it needs the longer barrel for the gas system to work? It would be a much handier and faster pointing rifle...

Near the end of the movie, "the rock," one of the badguys tries to take out Nic Cage with a scoped out rifle of some sort. I can't tell exactly which one it is, but it *seems* to be an LAR grizzley (50 BMG!). Is this possible? I didn't think this rifle existed when the movie was filmed... but...

Hey all, Yesterday (and part of today) I decided to sit down and write a small "basic" program that allows you use your calculator (assuming it can be programmed, e.g. my Ti-82) to tell you how much elevation you need to hit your target based on its distance AND inclination/declination from the...

Hi, I was wondering if anyone here knew how I could get ahold of Jewel Tirgger Inc., I want to get one of their triggers for my HS Precision rifle (basically an Rem 700 action) Thanks for any help.

I've been doing some handgun thinking, and I've come to the conclusion that the most popular autoloader BY FAR is the 1911. And meaning no disrespect to all you loyal 1911 owners out there, but I just don't get it. I mean, we're talking about the first generation automatic, nearly one hundred...

Have I gone mad, or has the entire gun culture just made the final step into liberal wussification? What is all this garbage I keep hearing about how it's not a "high capacity" magazine ban, but a ban on "standard capacity" mags? It's not an assault rifle, it's a sport utility rifle?!!? :barf...

I was just reading the thread "Too much point of aim" and saw a poster put up a picture of two guns which, if possessed, would be in violation of several US Federal gun laws. There were two "short barreled" rifles, a suppressor, and an "assault rifle" which is certainly not allowed for import in...

Does anyone have any experience with these? It seems that Fulton Armory has started making their own receivers, are they better than any other ou there (Springfield armory comes to mind). Most importantly, are they forged, cast, or machined from a billet? Thanks.
