I own a Ruger Sr9C. I posted this on another forum today, and thought there might be some SR9, SR9C, or Glock owners that might be interested in my experience...... OK, I haven't modified the slide release, yet, but I removed the magazine disconnect (VERY easy) and I installed the Ghost...

Rifleman, like all good citizens on these forums, I respect and defend your right to your opinions. But, your history is inaccurate, and you apparently haven't a clue what the 2nd Amendment is about. The Soviets declared war on Japan AFTER it was clear the Japanese were about to surrender...

fastbolt and WNTFW, I believe your points are extremely important. As such, I am looking into some kind of pistol home defense course. One can't say enough about the value of training. :eek: I don't even want to THINK about that!

Thanks, EdLaver That's a good thread. I got a lot out of it. I appreciate the tip.

The older series mini 14s (180-190's) are notoriously inaccurate, but owners love to shoot them nonetheless. Something about them just makes them fun to shoot. Probably the Garand style action. I own a 197 series. There is much that can be done to accurrize a mini 14. Generally, the most...

gunbroker.com has a list of FFLs. I found one on that list who works out of his house, charges only $20, is easy to work with, will transfer anything (legal, of course), and is a nice guy. The first transfer I did, we sat around and chewed the fat a little, then he gave me a Cuban cigar...

Look into Double Star- I've seen them about $100 less than the others. I read an excellent review in a magazine a few months ago. Also, I agree on DPMS.

I am building my "CAL-15". I can't stand the thought of a fixed magazine where I have to break open the rifle and slowly load 10 rounds. (Not that there's anything wrong with it if it's what YOU like- that's just me.) So, I'm building mine with NO pistol grip and NO flash supressor, so it will...

You guys have given me some great food for thought. Gosh, I never imagined some of you would disagree on the best methods to use!! :rolleyes: But, that's what makes the thread interesting and helps frame my thoughts on the problem. Thanks to all of you, though I'm not suggesting we end...

I've often considered the idea of putting a tactical flashlight on my pistol, or just keeping one near my weapon should I ever need it in the dark. My reservations come from 2 thoughts, for which I ask your input. 1) If I have a flashlight, the BG can see exactly where I am, and thus I make...

"I am getting my first 9mm and am looking for something cheap to take to the range. I have done a little research and looked around town at the gun shops and it seems that the P89 would be a decent choice. Does anybody have any opinions on this gun or an idea of a better gun for me (while...

Ruger Carbines I really like Ruger's carbines- the 9mm and the SW .40. I'm thinking of buying a 9MM. However, I think I will still grab my pistol (P90) first if needed for self defense. :)

Mine's an M44 Good! Mine's a 1946 M44, so it ought to be in good shape. The guy I bought it from on gunbroker.com said it is, and also said the bolt NEVER sticks. I'll clean it up really well anyway before I fire it. I'm thinking about stripping and refinishing the stock as well, just to...

Still Waiting! Thanks dstorm1911, that's great advice. I've got plenty of mineral spirits around, as I've built some guitars that have a hand rubbed laquer finish. I lubricate the sand paper with mineral spitits when I rub the laquer. I'll follow your (and others) directions, and it should...

Roger that. Also, I can't stand the idea of having to break open an AR to load 10 rounds from the top (it's a CA thing) :( , when I can swap a 10 round mag in a mini in about 2 seconds :D .

M-N Info ArchAngelCD, Thanks for the great info. That's very helpful. :)

CA Centerfire rifle law They are already rewriting the law to prohibit this practice. Anway, any AR you build with an off-list lower still meets the Assault Rifle criteria under the definintion portion of the law. :( That's why I bought a mini 14, then did improvements to make it shoot...

Why a mini 14 instead of a Saiga? "Why would someone choose the Mini-14 over the Saiga .223, which has a thick (chromelined) barrel to avoid the heating-up issue, seems by most reports to be more accurate, and at around $250 retail costs nearly half the price?" Because the Saiga is relatively...

Just bought an M44 Hello guys, I just bought an M44 (waiting for it to get here). Where can I learn about the practical aspects of owning and shooting one? Questions that come to mind are: What should I do to it before firing it the first time? How do I break it down to clean it...

"Oh yeah... my mini-14 kicks like a mule. Ten to fifteen rounds of 223 is all I can deal with during a range session before my shoulder says uncle" Ooohh yeahh! When I shoot my mini 14 with them big ol' .223 rounds, I get a sore arm just from liftin' the rounds to load the magazine! Reminds...
