    Impact of election on RKBA organizations?

    I'm trying to do this without discussing the actual politics of the issue. Mods, if I fail, or if this thread goes off the rails, please do shut it down. I don't want to create a mess. Just before the election, there was a major push from the NRA for membership. Constant ads on YoutTube, the...

    Im way overthinking steel for bushcraft knife. Advice sought.

    OK guys, I’m doing research, and would love your opinions. I am looking for a bushcraft/outdoors knife. Let me explain a bit about my views on knives, and the uses this knife might see and it’ll help narrow things down. Uses Uses are across the broad range of circumstances. Everything...

    Quick question about blade coatings

    I'm considering getting an Ontario SK5 Blackbird Noir. Does a powder coating on the blade prevent it from sparking up a fire steel? If so, I'll just get the uncoated version. I imagine I need actual steel contact, right?

    What's the deal with micro neck knives?

    While I love knives, I'm not super "up" on the latest and greatest in trends and equipment. I got to looking recently and I've noticed that a lot of companies seem to have jumped on this trend of super tiny neck knives. Especially, I've noticed that there are many very inexpensive ones that...

    Starting to think about youth rifles

    My son is only 13 months old, so I have no illusion that it's going to be a few years before he ever shoots a gun, but being a dad who's obsessed with his kid, and a gun lover, the confluence of these two streams of thought, of course, has my mind going... I'm looking to kids rifles. Every...

    When sometimes it all works just right, and sometimes it just plain doesn't!

    I had a "Six" day at the range. I brought my 2 3/4" Speed Six, along with a rarely shot 4" Security Six. I had to sight in the Security Six and got to work. Set target at 10 yards and got a nice tight group...3" high. Tightened down rear sight at tried again. A little lower, but still a few...

    Use of Saiga-12 by LEO?

    I was just reading the Wikipedia page about the Saiga 12 (and banging my head against a wall for not having gotten one years ago when they were legal here in CT, and cheap!) and noticed that at the bottom of the page under "users" it lists United States: law enforcement agencies. I have seen...

    Wow!! New Sp101-.327mag 4.2"bbl.

    I just got the email with Ruger's new SP101. It's the same as their other 4" models, but this is .327mag with a 4"bbl. Now, this might make a nice woods walking gun! That fast flat shooting little cartridge with the longer barrel for extra sight radius and velocity, but combined with a...

    Quality of entrenching tools?

    I have always kept an old WW2 (the big one!:D) surplus entrenching tool in my break-down kit in the car. Every so often it has come in handy. Here in the Northeast, we have some interesting winters and I've used it to dig ice and snow out from around my tires to get out. Recently, I hit a...

    Dummy question about swords

    A sword is a cutting tool. Obviously it has some heft behind it (some swords more than others. I'd never want to compare a Claymore with a Rapier) but does have an edge that it counts on for cutting the opponent. Well, in battle or any other combat, it would have been whacked against all...

    Detail Stripping: Poll

    1911Tuner's thread about detail stripping got me to wondering just how many of us have actually ever detail stripped our pistols. My answer, is that I have never detail stripped one of mine. Sure I field strip them all the time for routing cleaning, but have never seen a need to break it down...

    Skunk problem

    Hey all, I have a friend who has a skunk problem. He already had a guy come trap and remove the skunk once but the problem has returned and this time, he wants to deal with it more... directly, shall we say. He's looking to get an air rifle and as the gun guy, he came to me to ask. So...

    Any reason NOT to buy this?

    My LGS is running a special on several guns for the holiday shopping season. The special in which I am the most interested is the Mossberg Maverick 88 18.5" security model. I really don't need another 12ga, but they are selling it for $169.99 and throwing in a 25rnd box of Federal 00buck...

    Sniping the gun buyback

    Ok guys, so we have a gun buyback program going on tomorrow in Hartford. I'm only 15 minutes from the location so I'm thinking I might try going and buying some guns off of people that plan to turn them in. The buyback is offering supermarket gift cards of $200 for "assault weapons," $100 for...

    Taurus Judge vs. Thunder 5

    Like them or not, the Taurus Judge has been around long enough now, and has sold enough units that I think it solidly qualifies as being a major commercial success. Years after their introduction, they are still selling well, Taurus has seen fit to expand the product line to 3" chambered...

    Electric gatling guns and hangfires?

    OK so I have what is probably a soooper dummy question but here we go. On guns that use an electric motor to drive the barrels and work the action (Vulcan, Minigun etc...) the gun does not rely on a cartridge actually firing in order to cycle the action. So I would think it's possible that if...

    Was he misinformed, or am I ignorant?

    I was at Cabela's the other day, and they had some Winchester .22LR hollowpoint ammo in 222 round boxes for sale. A young guy was asking the clerk about buying the ammo to go with his suppressed Browning Buckmark carbine. The clerk told the young man that he should not buy that ammo because it...

    Good instructions for cutting down polymer grip frame?

    Later this week, I am going to be picking up a used "like new" Kahr TP45. I want to chop the last little bit off the grip to give it a P45 length grip frame (a "TP45 covert" if you will). I think it would just about the ideal CCW .45. It seems pretty obvious to me how to do it...

    Possible legal repercussions of Stamford shooting

    Link to article plus video of shooting. So here we have a nightmare situation. In CT, which was already turned rabidly anti-gun after the Sandy Hook shooting (it was only anti-gun before but would not characterize it as being rabidly so until Dec. 2012) we have a licensed, legal gun owner...

    Seeking advise on my SKS/Mini14 quandary

    So it's not often I post these. I have already done research out the wazoo, but sometimes simply the act of committing it to writing helps me think more clearly. I currently own an SKS-M. For those unfamiliar with it, it's one of the models designed from the start to accept standard AK...
