I don't know how old this news is, but I just got an NRA alert about it. All Louisianaians shoudl write their state reps and urge them to oppose this. It probably has no shot, but we really can't afford to underestimate our enemies. http://www.nraila.org/Legislation/Read.aspx?id=2913

I got my father in law some books (http://www.midwayusa.com/eproductpage.exe/showproduct?saleitemid=203800 ) from midway that he can fill in to keep track of all the different loads that he makes up. The "books" have soft covers and are 3-hole punched to go in a binder. I want to put a cool...

Jeferson Indoor in Harahan, LA was closed a while ago do to the death of the owner. That was the only indoor range in this area that allowed rifle and shotgun. Does anyone know what is going on with it? Do they plan to re-open it as a range only? or range and ffl? If no one knows of any...

I need a gunsmith in the New Orleans, Louisiana area. Please post a name and contact number or address for me. Thanks.

See OTHER THREAD For the precursor. I picked up that single shot for $15. It is a Hopkins and Allen "Forehand" model. I refinished the wood stock and forearm and it looks decent. I have two questions: After I cut the barrel, how do I get the front sight on the "new" barrel? and How do...

If I happen to find a single shot shotgun with a 28 inch bbl and a bulge in the barrel about 6 inches from the end. Would it be safe to buy it for $25 (asking price) and saw off the barrel before the bulge?

I recently mailed a gun to someone out of state. I did this through my FFL, who I have a good relationship with. He told me I had to first transfer the gun to him ($25), then I could ship it for $40!!! Does it really cost $40 to ship a handgun? He said it had to get there NEXT DAY. Has...

I bid on this 44 mag marlin 1894 lever carbine and now I can't afford it because I just found out what I owe Uncle Sam this year. I think it is a steal. Please, check it out. HERE

I have a Kahr MK9 stainless that is NIB unfired. A friend of mine wants to buy it. What is a fair price? I was thinking $475 to $500, because on gunbroker they are going for about $475 (cheapest and only one at this price) to $530 (average and a couple) plus shipping ($25) and transfer...

I am looking at getting a snubby. The S&W 36 look to be nice and affordable. My question applies to these and othe rolder guns. Is it safe to use +P ammo in these? How does one know if +P is safe to shoot? Will it say on the barrel? Is there a rule of thumb cutt-off date?

Giving back for the holidays and showing others that gun owners are a delightfully helpfull bunch (maybe pushing it). This is my idea that may already be in practice somewhere, but I will throw it out here so ya'll can use it. A bunch of shooting fellas get together at their local range...

I have got an itch to build a gun and I think it should be a 10/22. So I get on GunBroker and see that I can get a complete Ruger receiver for $134... or... I can get a Volquartsen SuperLight receiver only for $180, a VQ trigger guard 2000 (complete) for $180, and a VQ bolt assembly for $143...

Hi ya'll. I have in the past asked my friend if he will sell me his remmy 870 and he has always said no he wants to keep it. Well, now he wants a new shotgun (a Beretta) and needs the money. So he called me up to tell me that I have first dibs on it. I asked him how much and he said $150. I...

I usually don't watch this show, but happened to catch the very beginning and figured I would see what it was like. Well...I turned it off after about 3 minutes. The policemen are chasing a man with a cleaver who had just threatened someone's life. The suspect gets cornered in an alley and...

Why must I hold in the little "button" under the trigger guard to rack a round into the chamber? This seems like a fine motor skill that I do not want to have to perform under stress. Is there a way to disengage this? Would it be safe to do so? I have no children in the house.
