I am planning to start hunting 4-legged critters in the great northwest this year. I want to use my AR-pattern lower as I've become very familiar with the cheekweld and trigger, and am confident with it. I have uppers in .22LR and 5.56NATO, but I'd like to build an upper specifically for hunting...

What are your favorite movies that feature blackpowder firearms? So far The Outlaw Josey Wales is my fav, but I'm sure there are some I haven't seen.

I recently acquired a new shotgun, a Mossberg 590 with a 20 inch cylinder bore, to replace my Mossberg 500 with a 18.5 inch cylinder bore as my primary home defense long gun. Once I got the two side by side, I started wondering how the shot patterns would change from one barrel to the next...

out of curiosity, what is the sporting use for #4 buckshot? Is it effective against deer as the name implies? I've heard so many people say it's underpowered as a home defense round against people (not that I necessarily agree with that "internet factoid") so I wonder how well it performs...

What do you folks think of shotgun scabbards? What are the pros/cons of using a scabbard to carry your pump gun vs a sling?

I've decided to add another HD shotgun to the stable; a Mossberg 590. I've been using (and by using I mean I actually practice with the thing) a Mossberg 500 with 18" barrel, bead sight, and 5 shot magazine for years and am very comfortable with it. The 590 I've purchased has a 20" barrel with...

I've made an offer To purchase a home that is much bigger than my current residence, and in my doing my due diligence have begun to think about protecting my family in said larger home. I own a wide variety of weapons, as collecting them is a hobby of mine. I even compete with some of the...

I enjoy reading the free digital editions of American Handgunner. Do you folks know of any other gun magazines with free digital editions?

I'm looking for 500 or so .451" 200gr jacketed round nose pistol bullets, and I can't find them in stock anywhere! What gives? I tried all the usual suspects: cabelas, midway, natchez, etc. Nothing in stock until April. Do you folks have a source that you'd be willing to share? I...

I bought a EMA Tactical two point sling (6003) today, and when I opened the package noticed it came with two lengths of string. Anybody know what they're for?

I've decided I want to start shooting at what I consider medium to long ranges (400 to 1000 yards) and have begun researching calibers and rifles in preparation for a purchase next year. While researching the 300 Win Mag, I came across this statement on wikipedia: Can anyone here do this...

Is there any tactical (or other) advantage to using an AR with a MonsterMan grip vs. an AR with a standard pistol grip?

Had to do some serious yardwork yesterday (perfect excuse) so I picked up a new machete... It was between this one and the Gerber equivalent, until I found out the Gerber is not a full-tang design. The blade is super thin, and so is the pommel. Right away I was concerned that it might...

Im of the opinion that mindset plays a much larger role in surviving violent confrontations than most people believe. I'm hoping you folks have some stories to share that back up this opinion. I've read about people in third world countries who hadn't grown up watching movies and don't...

Thoughts, opinions, reviews? Who owns one, who has actually used one. What do you think?

Recent events lead me to believe that I need additional security measures for my home. Please point me in the right direction(s). What I already have: -suitable firearms and ammunition for most likely scenarios secured and accessible in strategic locations. -strong exterior door locks...

I'm looking to build an AR for plinking in 22lr. Since the available options for .22LR uppers seem to be constantly changing, I thought I'd ask my fellow THRers what they're aware of and what they own/shoot/like. I'd like this to be a dedicated upper, and I'd like it to be as inexpensive...

I'm trying to find a v-22 upper assembly for an ar-15. I can't find one anywhere! These are made by CZ and have been imported/sold by a few different companies over the years. Any ideas for places to look. I've tried google and all my usual parts suppliers.

I'm in the planning stages of a California-compliant AR build and would like some suggestions. Most of my uncertainty revolves around which grip to get, as I will want to use detatchable magazines and therefore must build a "featureless" rifle. :rolleyes: I'm leaning towards the hammerhead...

I just caught a couple episodes of Steven Seagal: Lawman. I was astounded at the hypocrisy! In one episode he's giving another officer pointers so he can pass his pistol qualification (he just barely passed, btw), and in the next episode Seagal is talking about how "we" don't like gun being on...
