In just over a month, the repeal of my state's ban on automatic knives will be taking effect. I'm thinking I'm going to celebrate by picking one up. Currently all my practical knife needs are met by two different fixed blades, so this would most be a "hey, this is neat" type of purchase with no...

I got a DSA Para FAL that's been light-striking lately, and since I'm more of a pistol guy, I was hoping some of the experts here could help me troubleshoot it. I haven't pulled it apart yet, but here's what I'm thinking I should check for: 1) Gunk in the firing pin channel 2)...

Ill be beginning to accumulate parts and accessories soon for a long range rifle project. I know the gun, optic, caliber, etc already, so I wont be starting one of those rehashed threads. However Im a little hazy on rings. There's quite a wide price range out there, from fifty or sixty for...

I've got a Savage Mark II I bought with the desire to shoot out to 300 yards. When I finally go the oppurtunity to shoot beyond 100, I found that will the elevation adjustment on my scope pegged, POA met POI somewhere between 175 and 200. I poked around with some ballistics calculators and found...

I've been mentoring a few new shooters on Purdue's pistol team (I hesitate to call it coaching, as that's someone else's job, and I'm not sure I have the abilities and experience to do a proper job of it) and to aid in that I typed up a brief document on the basics of bullseye shooting and...

Here's my new SVI, with Gun Metal Dark Infinicoat finish. Its a PVD finish similar (or, I suspect, identical) to IonBond. I was putting some new grip tape on it the other night, and being me, ended up with superglue fingerprints all over my gun. I remembered a gunsmith doing a demo for me...

This is going to be a little different than my other initial impressions reports. Its going to be more of just a range report, as I put the first 1000 rounds through the gun in one sitting. Here it is, fresh out of the box: Just a quick summary of what it is - a 5" double stack...

So I was helping out a friend, detail stripping and cleaning his Bullseye guns after a long season (in which he became the national sharpshooter champ at Perry, go him) and one of them is a pre-70 series national match. The sear has a little spring-loaded tab on it, I'm not sure of the function...

My roomate is looking to put an optic on his M1a. He doesn't know anything about available mounting options, and neither do I. What's the best out there for holding zero?

I'm not a big fan of small guns, but I could really use a gun small enough to carry when I go running, and last week I was having a bad week and decided, screw it, pocket guns are fairly cheap, and I could use a present. I'm not a fan of plastic guns, so I had two in mind, either the Micro...

I just picked up a Micro Desert Eagle and found no mention in the manual of recoil spring change intervals. I contacted MRI and they gave me the not so helpful answer of "whenever the gun starts cycling improperly." The whole point of preventative maintenance is to swap the springs before that...

I got my first K-frame a few months ago, and it came with the stock rubber S&W grips that I really don't like. My hands slip too much on rubber when they get sweaty. The title is a little decieving, I know what the perfect grips for me are, Nill Master Series like I have on my 629, I just don't...

Natchez is offering a deal on free hazmat and shipping on orders of 10,000+ TULAmmo primers, including up to 40 pounds of other stuff in with the same order. I'm finding this really tempting since I just killed all my LP and LPM primers and emptied my 8 pound jugs of Bullseye and H110, but I've...

I've had an SIS Ultra as a backup/dress clothes carry gun for a while, and although it was almost perfect for that role, there were always a few little things that bothered me about it. The first was the trigger pull. In my experience, Kimbers usually have the best out-of-the-box triggers you...

The gun: 8 3/8" 629-6 Classic My previous write-up: http://thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=403221 General Impressions I've been incredibly happy with the gun. Its a boatload of fun to shoot, and it turned me from a die-hard autos-only, why would you want one of those silly old guns type of...
