my wife's co-worker friend was recently mugged/threatened on a shopping trip to omaha. knowing that my wife has a ccw permit she asked for her for some advise on the subject. my wife in turn asked me to help, but im not really sure what she wants me to do. im in iraq, so all i can do give her...

hey all. i am trying to find a good bullet mold for the m1 carbine. my dad has a lyman 115 gr pointed tip mold that i have never been completely satisfied with. it does not feed nearly as well as hard ball does, even though accuracy is acceptable. im looking at the lee 113 gr flat nose...

my wife is working on getting all of our worldy posessions catalogued and packed before we move into our new home (since im overseas i lucked out of all that). she went thru all of my reloading supplies and compiled a big spread sheet (she must have been pretty bored) and i was really suprised...

my brother is looking for a Browning low wall (caliber 22 hornet). we cannot seem to find any current manufacturers other than Ballard Rifle & Cartridge Company (very, very expensive). i seem to remember browning producing one just a few years ago, and i also thought uberti made a copy (they...

I have always been really interested by the unlimited class benchrest shooters, but i could never see me putting out that kind of dough on that kind of rifle. so me and my friend are just chilling here in our trailer in iraq yesterday when he runs accross a picture of a rail gun on the net...

well, i am on a 4 day pass here in wilmington NC, and with all the civil war era stuff to explore and look at i got bitten by the gun bug. i was planning on picking up a reproduction 1861 springfield at a pawn shop, but the owner wanted $850 and the bore looked pretty spotted. so i got online...

I was just wondering how many full time carriers of 1911's out there carry full size 5" guns? then, how many of those carriers carry all steel 40+oz (unloaded) guns? im trying to get some input because i plan on getting my ccw (along w/ a new gift for myself:)) when i return from iraq...

my dad picked up the coolest rifle i had never heard of before today. its an m1 carbine that somebody had rebarrelled to 5.7mm. i have always loved the m1 carbine, and between me and my father we own quite a few. my dad happened upon this rifle because a friend of his had his father pass...

it just seems that everybody i meet at the shooting range has a rifle (or most of the time RIFLES) that are 1" sureshot super rifles. the same can be said about gun writers. seriously, everything that every gun writer reviews seems to group .00005" at 650 yards. i think that anybody could...

i recently moved (actually 3 days ago) about 20 miles north to a country home ouside of columbus, nebraska. my new wife and i moved in w/ her parents, as i will be deploying soon and she will need the support of her family to help her through the times. anyway, we live pretty much out in the...

the cold weather/early sunset has caused much of my free time to be spent doing other things then shooting. i would really like to convert my empty, cinderblock basement into a sort of improvised in-door range. first off...it is totally blocked, and not under the house (its under a new...

i want a new full size 9mm (just for the heck of it really, for fun and for the economy of 9mm). i am hopelessly torn between a witness elite, taurus pt92, and a hi-power (pbly charles daly to keep it in my very limited price range). i also want a kahr (not full size, not sa), but that really...

i have heard quite a few ppl talking about getting pt 1911's in 9mm, .40, or .38 super when they come out...and that was months and months ago it seems. i cant find anything on their website now, but i remember seeing their page for the .40 with T.B.A. under status. nothing there now. have...

my roomate bought this springfield gi .45 because he just loved the one i bought a few months ago. he bought it, put 1500 rounds thru it w/ absolutley no malfunctions. then he decided to upgrade and dropped in a new wilson combat extractor, sear, and hammer. shoots really nice now, but every...

well, i brought my springfield gi 45 to the range today and put about 500 rounds thru her. not even so much as a hickup running about 250 rounds 230 gr wwb fmj, 100 230 gr cci blazer brass fmj, and 150 230 gr wwb jhp. i was really suprised how well it cycled the jhp as ive heard so many...

i have been eying one of these latley (along w/ a SA micro compact) and i am seriously considering going and picking one up this next week. i like the feel of this little pistol (as opposed to the kt .32). it seems...idk...sturdier. i know that there is prbly nothing wrong w/ the kt, but it...

i just sent off my paperwork for a field grade m1 garand. took me long enough to get around to it, had the paperwork for over a month but needed to get it notorized. i dont know how long it usually takes for them to process my order, but i assure you it cant be soon enough...lol. well what am...

i remember some posts from about a month ago on different kits to convert 1911's to .22lr for cheap practice/plinking...but for the life of me i cant bring them up on the search. i found one from ciener on brownells for about $200...and that doesnt sound too bad. i was hoping for somehting a...

well i have always loved the m1 carbine (almost as much as 1911's...) and i recently have gotten into collecting them. the m1 carbine was the first "high-powered rifle" i ever owned, and i just plain love the thing. i have found that the one i have had for years was a replica (Plainfield) and...

first off, its nice too be back, as i havnt been able to get on for quite a while. i missed all the caliber "discussions" *caugh*arguments*caugh* lol. anyway, today i went out and bought a really pretty m1 carbine and i am having all kinds of trouble with it. i took it home, broke her down...
