So, a while back (maybe a year ago?) my grandpa gave me a rifle he had aquired that never really worked. It is a .22 caliber Springfield Model 187J. It fired, but FTE'd with every shot. Figuring it would be a fun gun to tinker with, I decided to fix it myself. First thing I did was replace the...

I'm watching the second season of Family Guy on DVD, and in the millenium episode where the earth blows up, Peter (the father) creates a new community based around the twinkie factory and becomes mayor. He comes to the realization that they need guns for protection and is run out of the town by...

Turn to discovery channel, it is myth busters doing explosive decompression

What the heck is up with this? It is built on a Walther frame and looks very similar to the Walther P99. Anybody have any more info on this than just what the ad in American Handgunner showed? Has S&W decided to just use other company's parts or is there something going on between them and Walther?

I haven't seen this posted on the board yet, if it has been I apologize http://www.thestriketeam.com/game/game_3.html Should give hose of us who are sitting around doing nothing for the next 6 hours a bit of relief

Before my computer club meeting the other day a friend and I were having a nice conversation about guns and I was explaining the AWB to him. We had a great conversation. As more people started to trickle in the conversation turned to carry in school. This is where it gets frustrating. I have...

I did a couple searches and didn't find any other posts on this subject... What do y'all carry in y'all's Steyr M-series pistols for defensive ammo? Are there any brands anyone has had problems with as far as failure to feed? I am looking at federal Hydra-shoks, going to run a bunch through...

For those of you who can't carry during the main part of your day, either because you're a student or your job won't allow you to, what do you do with your pistol? Do you lock it in the car so you have it if you go anywhere after class/work? Or do you leave it at home and just do without if you...

:D :D :D My Texas CHL came in today, only took 30 days and that was including having to prove my citizenship. YAY!!! I didn't expect it quite so soon though and I haven't gotten a holster yet, but I'll find one soon. Now that I have it, though, I have a question for y'all: Have any of y'all...

Now, before you jump all over me, I have no intentions of wearing one. But my CHL instructor told us that Lee Brown is making any armed CHL holders that enter the city hall wear a pin while they're there denoting that they are armed. Wouldn't this constitute a badge? Also, in effect, doesn't...

...or at least I think it is. I may very well be the one causing it to shoot left, but I don't have the problem with my airsoft pistol or any of my rifles. So, what is the best method to find out if it is me or the pistol? I go to the range alone usually so having someone else shoot it isn't...

I was given one today that isn't quite in working order. It shoots fine, but fails to load and may not be extracting the spent round properly (When I did a test fire earlier today the spent shell ejected, but at home I can not get an already spent shell to do so manually, i.e. pulling the bolt...

I never thought I would get to see a situation like this, restores my belief that bad guys get what is coming to them... I was with my family at a friend's place today. The lot is across the street from a privately owned park and the rest of the area is fairly undeveloped. While we are...

I am interested in the differences between these two pistols. Is it just in the controls? Or is there more to it than that? I Have shot the MKII and liked it (except for the mag release) and have watched others shoot the 22/45 and it seems to be pretty much the same gun. Also, since I am on the...

The grip on my Steyr M9 is hollow, when the mag is inserted, behind the mag, there is prolly about half an inch opening that runs up to about the base of the slide. I am assuming it is this way on all M9 's and prolly the 40's as well. In this hole, though, are two "tracks" of some sort. One on...

(19 October 2002, Portugal) Parents take note! Catering to a child's tantrum can have dire consequences, as a Caldelas mother recently discovered. When her four-year-old son refused to eat his soup unless she let him play with a gun, she handed it over -- and was promptly shot in the stomach by...

I have been gone since last tuesday for a friend's wedding in Vermont, here is a recap of the more interesting events... First, I turned 21. In celebration I bought a Steyr M9. I also recieved a Ruger 10/22 from my dad. Secondly, for the bachelor and bachelorette parties we decided to go...

After the range I was going to got shut down, and having to find a new range and being busy on the weekends, I finally made it to the range today after about 2 months of not shooting. It was great! I went out there with my newly aquired Ruger 10/22 and my browning t-bolt .22 . It was my first...

I am thinking of taking the CHL course with a rental gun. Has anyone done this? I am worried about qualifying with a gun that I haven't had a fair amount of practice with. If I should wait I will, but I also want to get my CHL as soon as I can. I would actually be taking the class the day before...

I have a .22 browning t-bolt and I have thrown around the idea of putting a scope on it. Nothing major, just like a $30 or so scope. Is it worth it? Or should I go with either an expensive scope or none at all? It wouldn't be used for any major shooting competitions, just target practice at the...
