I was about to reply to another thread with some of this information, but it didn't quite fit and I thought it's good enough for its own thread. So here are some warning signs that you are being "interviewed" for the job of victim. http://www.nononsenseselfdefense.com/interview.htm...

I've hunted deer, but not squirrel. I've got a couple .22 rifles, a .410 with a fixed full choke, and a 20 gauge with imp-cyl, mod, and full chokes. I assume that if I use the shotguns, I'll use #6 shot. I've got decently accurate .22 plated hollowpoints. I'm sure I could make it work...

So you read an article in the paper, or an editorial full of anti-gun misconceptions and misinformation. Maybe you have a school assignment to write an opinion paper. You want to write something in support of the second amendment, to represent the pro-gun position to your teacher or the...

I really like the idea of the Kel-Tec folding pistol-caliber carbines. And I was thinking about that post in the S&T section, about a .22 for a bug-out bag. What I would really like is a .22 rifle in a small, folding package like the Kel-Tec SUB rifles. Have one version that takes Ruger...

The S&W M&P compact is great, but the grip is tough to hold onto with the tiny magazine. The grip with the finger extension is great, but that's only one, the other one lacks the finger extension. So, does anybody know where I can find a replacement magazine floor plate with a finger...

My wife has a S&W M&P .40 that has been back to S&W for premature slide lock and failure to return to battery. They replaced the slide lock spring with the newer, stronger spring, and that's fixed. They "modified" the barrel to solve the FTRTB problem. However, when we tested it with about...

I have a .40 Hi-Power that my wife and I both enjoy shooting. She would CCW it, but the barrel is so long, and she's so short, that it is difficult for her. However, I've found a "detective" kit, basically a 9mm barrel/slide/spring/spring guide that is an inch shorter - it turns a Hi-Power...

By that I mean a suppressor which can be registered once, and reconfigured with a different set of parts to work with several different calibers, attach to different guns, etc. So you could buy and register one suppressor for a .45, and then replace some parts and then attach it to a 9mm, or...

I have an old Mauser (VZ24) 8mm barrel... [BIG PICS] Is there anything I can do with it? I am not sure of the bore diameter, but a .308 bullet will fall through the bore with little friction (cleaning rod will push the bullet through with only its own weight). I figure it's too big to shoot a...

Some may remember my post, several months ago, about my decision to use a rifle as a main HD weapon vs a shotgun. From a "tactical" standpoint, the rifle makes more sense to me - more ammo, can reach out farther if necessary, a red dot 1x scope for night use, and I have way more practice with...

A few weeks ago, during MO antlerless season, I shot a doe. It was extremely cold in Northern MO so I was wearing so many clothes my rifle was somewhat awkward to shoulder, and the deer was 75 yards away and trotting from my left to my right. I ended up hitting about 2 inches to the rear of...

I saw a Hi-Power today, a worn blued pistol marked Mauser and GmbH, but it was different than a normal Hi-Power in that the safety was mounted on the slide, and putting it on safety (down) also dropped the hammer. The hammer itself was a normal BHP spur hammer, but had a hole through it...

On my wife's S&W M&Pc .40 it seems like the recoil spring may be a bit weak. If I pull back the slide, and slowly ease it forward, it'll "hitch" right before the barrel moves upward to lock up. The slide will sit right there, and the spring pressure isn't enough to push the slide forward into...

I understand the concept behind the semiautomatic designs, how they work, the weak points, and relative advantages/disadvantages of the major operating systems. However, I've never really gotten that familiar with bolt actions. I've owned a few, both centerfire and rimfire, but I don't know...

I've got a S&W 29-3 .44 mag with an 8 inch barrel. I also have a 5 inch barrel that I wanted put on. But the gunsmith said the 8 inch barrel was so tight, he couldn't get it off. He was afraid he would "spring the frame" if he put any more torque on it. He said S&W may be able to remove...

The ruger thread got me thinking. I'd like to have more than 4 rounds in my Remington 710 (it's a .243 but should in the .308 mags just fine). Has anyone modified an M14 mag to fit in the 710? I know the 710 mag is a little different, it's a center-feed mag, but I wonder if it would work...

My wife has a WWI Ruby pistol, made by Esperanza y Unceta, and isn't really into collecting, so she asked me to list it on a gun auction website. After I listed it, she's reading about it on Wikipedia (the article hadn't been written when I started research, hadn't bothered to check again) and...

I recently took out both the mossberg 500 and the AK clone I have, to shoot both at the range. (Mossberg 500 is 18.5 inch barrel "protector" model or something like that, with synthetic stock and forearm - AK is WASR-10 with collapsible stock and Kobra red dot sight) I can get accurate hits...

I picked up an 8 inch .44 mag Smith & Wesson model 29 at an estate auction. I had been wanting a big bore revolver for some time, and upon doing the revolver checkout (thanks to Jim March for that! After about 50 revolvers both here and previous gun stores/pawn shops I had a pretty good feel...

So the wife and I went and shot the .40 M&Pc again. Or, rather, she fired it and I shot three rounds. Anyway, we've now put over 500 rounds through it with no lube and no cleaning. Only a few malfunctions in the beginning, all of the premature slide lock type (slide lock engaged with ammo...
