    ZERO ammunition ??

    My FFL showed me a price list from this company, ZERO. Prices seemed pretty good. He buys their mixed reloads, which consist of mixed brass. He said he hasn't had any problems with the ammo. Does anyone have any experience/comments with ZERO ? thanks

    need advice- property issue

    …wasn’t really sure where this fit, but it concerns a ‘social situation’ and I felt that people on this board, for the most part, think and act logically and legally, and I don’t want my emotions to get the better of me in this situation. Background: About 4 years ago I bought a...

    what's a crunchenticker !?

    I picked up a stack of old issues of G&A from the local shop. I know most people here don't care for Col. Cooper, but I find his old columns at least entertaining to a degree... So, I found some references to what he calls a 'crunchenticker' I am assuming this refers to his disdain for the...

    45 Colt load info. needed

    Hello all I recently got a Ruger Blackhawk, old model, 3-screw. My question concerns Corbon's 45 Colt 'magnum' loads. Corbon's website shows their 265gr. bullet @1350 fps, and a 300gr. bullet @ 1300 fps. Would occasional use of these be ok in my old model Blackhawk. Thanks in advance...

    I know I should just walk away and not let these things bother me...BUT I was in a major large gun shop in the northeast last weekend. I was waiting to look at a gun and the guy behind the counter was showing a guy some S&W lightweight revolvers. The customer did not know much about...

    springfield m1a price check

    I found a preban m1a standard, with 2 20rd. mags, and 1 5rd. mag. The gun has not been shot much and appears to be in near NIB condition. The guy is asking $1500.00. I have a feeling if he still has it in a couple weeks, he would take a little less. How is this price? What could I offer him...

    what gun(s) you USED to dislike...

    I thought this may be interesting... What gun(s) did you previously dislike but later found that you did like them and even possibly ended up owning them. What made you change your mind? For me, the first was single action revolvers. I just couldn't understand why my dad would shoot those or...

    overheard at dinner....

    I know this topic has been covered, but I still just get a kick out of some people's opinions on ballistics... I met this guy who is going through the local police academy, and he says that if you carry a 9mm, you would be better off just taking the cartridges out of the gun and just throwing...

    I saw an ad for the FN pistols. The ad said something about 'second strike' capabilities. I thought I was familiar with most firearm terms- but have never heard of this. What is this?
