You have $200 and want a 1911... I recommend getting a Spanish Star B or BM. I had a BKS and loved it. Sold it like a fool. Shoots 9mm accurately and reliably, except for certain JHP that are too fat at the nose to feed well. Cost about $200. Functions like a 1911.
I handled two different FNX pistols today. One had a problem retaining the magazine unless it was inserted at a certain angle. The other was fine. Not sure if this is a design or a QC issue. I want to buy one, but am reluctant to buy even one that works fine for fear that it will eventually...
I've had perfect service with S&W. My 1911 was shooting high and to the right. The set screw for the rear sight was stripped so I could not drift it. I didn't want to drill it out and risk damaging the gun, so I called S&W. They sent me a prepaid return label and I shipped the gun. A few...

Hi guys,
I had a negligent discharge today. Forgot to visually inspect my chamber on my 92FS and when I dropped the hammer (I don't know why I did that, I should have used the decocker), it discharged into mattress and into the wall. Fortunately, even though I forgot one rule of safety, I...
Gun in the pillow is pretty comfortable actually. I put inside the pillow cover under the actual cover. You get used to it, it supports your neck. At first it was hard to get used to though. At least I never have problems finding it when I hear a bump in the night.
Back in my old apartment, we used to keep the living room really messy, with junk cluttered on the floor. Any bad guy coming in will be bound to kick something or knock something over accidentally. I sleep with my Glock 19 in my pillow with a full magazine.
At one point, I kept a IIA vest...
Actually, you cannot sell a long gun to a resident of a neighboring state either. You can under Illinois law, but you cannot under current Federal law, as it would constitute unlawful interstate commerce in firearms. Make sure you cross reference all State laws with Federal law before making...
Lol, did you see the picture of the pre-ban AK-47 compared to the AK-74 post-ban copy? The pre-ban is a .22 plinker that just vaguely looks like an AK, not even a real AK. :p
No reason to be embarrassed, EJ, it's a common mistake. I wish Illinois State Police would have sent all the legal information and a copy of their new FAQ with every FOID card issued. There are even problems with the FAQ that are a result of oversimplification of the law (on an issue of...
Yes, it is one of the most misunderstood aspects of Illinois law. However, I must respectfully disagree. I am not a lawyer (just a lowly pre-law student), but I have noticed many discrepencies between what Illinois residents (including state and local police agencies) believe the law is, and...
Make very sure you withhold any rifle or shotgun for 24 hours from the time they apply to purchase it. A handgun must be held for 72 hours. From my understanding, if you violate this law, you commit a felony.
Mostly wanting to remove for aesthetic reasons, plus I just think a plain barrel is nicer. I've hated vent ribs for some reason since childhood. I realize I'm being stubborn :).
Price isn't really the question. I want to use this barrel because its 3.5" chamber. They don't make a plain 3.5" short barrel, and I know I can just use a 3" chamber barrel, but I really just want the 3.5" chamber barrel
I was told that an 870 barrel vent rib was silver soldered on, and a bit of time and some MAPP or propane will break the silver solder. So I'm trying it, propane doesn't seem to want to work, MAPP doesn't seem to want to work, and I don't want to get the barrel too hot or damage it.
How...
Yea, I'm 18 too. Theres two "gun stores," one is a large pawn shop, and the other shop is a tiny shop next to the owner's house. The pawn shop guys have lied to me on several occasions. "Does this rifle have a chrome lined bore?" (DPMS varmint rifle) "Yea, of course it does." I look in the...
I apologize if this has been asked before, but is it safe to shoot military surplus 7.62x51 like Portugese military ammunition in a commercial bolt action rifle in .308 Win? I had heard that there are problems shooting 5.56x45 in .223 guns, so wondered if that same logic applied for .308.
I noticed that my AR-15 rear sight aperture is a lot on the left side, even when it says it is centered. When using the O-2 large hole aperture, it is kind of annoying because when I do the Army nose weld to the charging handle, the side of the cutout in the carry handle obstructs a little bit...
Anybody here know where I could find an 870 express receiver, without barrel and stock set for a good price? Was interested in piecing together another frankenshotgun. :D
Thanks
