    POLL: Do you own one or more guns?

    Located on the right side of this main page, about halfway down: www. ktvz.com/index.html (remove space after www.) A reporter -- one of the local transplants from CA -- is shocked, SHOCKED, that rural Oregon residents can just....go buy a gun. :eek: Please vote in the poll as you see fit.

    Support Oregon CHL Privacy bill - OR 2727

    Yesterday on the radio (OPR) I heard about a new Oregon House bill that would help prevent a Trejbal debacle here in Oregon. Today I sent the following to my State Rep and State Senator. If you are an Oregon resident, you can find your state legislators here if you need to. I am providing...

    Mosin Nagant vs. My Face

    I was going to post this last winter, but never got around to it. Another THR'er asked me about it in a PM, and since I have it typed up, I've been meaning to ask about this. Last winter, my wife and I went down to the local cinder pit to shoot. It can be a real yahoo scene. This time, there...

    Just picked up a Winchester Model 94, part question

    I went into the pawnshop today to check on a previous purchase, and finally wore down my resistance to the 25% off .30-30's I'd been eyeballing. Mrs. Tradja expected me to come back to the car with my repaired shotgun, but instead I was carrying a new "cowboy rifle" and a huge smile. She took...

    FMJ vs. Tracer: Need help to ID

    Recently I found a low price on 1K surplus pulls for 9mm 115gr. THey were described as mostly FMJ, with a few tracers mixed in. I got the bullets the other day, but I really don't know how to tell what's what. Some (few) of them are black and smooth on the base, some (most) are various...

    115gr 9mm tracer load data?

    UPS just delivered 1K of mixed 115gr 9mm pulls, including some tracers. Could anyone point me to any published load data for these? In this load, I’m mainly looking for safety (of course) and reliable ignition. Reliable cycling in my G26 would be a plus, but not necessary for what is...

    Ruger MKI vs. MKII vs. MKIII Grip Interchangability?

    I just picked up a MKII Stainless Bull Barrel 5.5inch, with the stock black checkered grips. I’m looking at replacement grips, but I was wondering if post-'71 MKI or any MKIII grips will fit the MKII. (After reading the sticky, it seems that grips for the Standard and pre-71 MKI would not fit)...

    Cheapest ammo in Las Vegas area?

    Not sure if this is the best section for this question, but I can't think of a better one: I'll be taking a 4-day defensive handgun course just outside of Las Vegas in a few weeks. I arrive a day before the course starts. The course requires 800 rounds of FMJ range ammo. I shoot mostly CCI...

    n00b asks: wad instead of patch for .40cal pistol?

    I am very new to blackpowder. Last fall, I spent an afternoon with a friend, an experienced blackpowder shooter, and got the basics of safety and technique. Fast forward to last weekend. My wife's parents visited and gave me a blackpowder pistol that had belonged to my wife's grandfather...

    How to attach pressure switch (to 870)?

    So I just received a basic weapon light from CDNN, and I've got it clamped under the mag extention. The light has a typical curly pigtail with the pressure switch on it. How do I attach it to the shotgun? I guess I want it on the forend. I don't reckon I just tape it on. :confused...

    Buttstock shell holder in leather?

    I've been searching, but not finding. The nylon or neoprene ones are everywhere, and cheap. Anyone know of one made from leather? Thanks!

    Cheapest AR (Oly) vs. mid-range AK? (Vector)

    For some time, my "next" purchase to round out my budding collection has been a mil-style semi auto ("EBR", but doesn't have to be black), for plinking, collecting, and SHTF, in that order. My HD and SD bases are already covered by other weapons. I am not a rifle hunter, or a comp shooter...

    Read any good gun books lately?

    My sister-in-law works at Barnes & Noble's bookstore, and almost always gives books as Christmas gifts. She asked me recently what titles I might be interested in, so I looked around online and browsed briefly instore. I'm just getting back into shooting and (re)building my collection from...

    Mag capacity ban?

    Just got back into shooting after a too-long hiatus. Back in the late 80's when I was a teen, I remember most new wondernines with a mag capacity in the mid-teens. Now (almost?) everything is capped at 10. So many questions: :confused: What happened? Are pre-ban mags still...
