http://www.vice.com/read/how-does-it-feel-to-kill-someone?utm_source=vicefbus Part of the reason I own firearms is for self defense. I live in a bad neighborhood in east Oakland. Home invasion is a real danger, I hear gunshots every week, and there have been several shootings, some fatal...

Please try to ignore the prose in this article. I know that it's terrible and annoying, but that's not my point. http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/OAKLAND-Man-killed-in-attempt-at-robbery-2563908.php#next I just had the somewhat random privilege of meeting Mr. Catarino Piedra, the man...

My girlfriend likes going to the range with me, but she doesn't like shooting trap--which is my favorite range activity--because both of my shotguns (Remington 870 and Mossberg 500) are too heavy for her (she's very petit). She doesn't have a problem with the recoil, she just can't hold the...

I keep a Ruger p345 as my secondary home defense firearm. The first is my Mossberg 500 because I'm better with it, but I'm also good with the .45 and, in a pinch, I can make ready with it faster. Anyway, I recently read a thread on this site from a few years ago in which the author said that...

Here's an interesting blog post: http://modernsurvivalblog.com/security/only-one-gun-in-a-survival-situation/ I think he makes a compelling argument. I would probably choose my 77/22 over my 10/22, though. I thought this line was pretty funny: "If you are shooting at someone farther...

I know that a lot of members here like to celebrate when gun owners successfully defend themselves, but other situations also need to be discussed. http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-san-francisco-man-killed-wrong-apartment-20140505-story.html

I tried out Chabot Gun Club for the first time today. I thought it was a pretty nice place. I still prefer Los Altos, but, since I live in Oakland now, it just makes more sense to go to Chabot. Another cool thing about Chabot is that if you buy a new gun and take it there, you shoot for free...

I own several firearms. I obviously believe that private citizens should have the right to own firearms. Also, when it comes to politics, most people would say that I'm liberal. (I, personally, don't agree with the accepted definitions of "liberal" and "conservative," though. What's more, I...

After doing a fair amount of research I had my heart set on purchasing a Ruger SR45 pistol until I found out that it is not on the roster of approved handguns in California. Can anyone suggest a viable alternative?

http://www.reuters.com/article/oddlyEnoughNews/idUSKUA54684220070725?feedType=RSS I'm wondering if the $25 includes range fees and ammo, because that would be a pretty good deal. I would even go to that (if I were in the area), and I'm not very keen on supporting the Republican party right now.

I know this has probably come up before, but searching for the topic didn't yield any relevant results. Anyway, I'm wondering about the functionality of putting a pistol grip on a shotgun with a short barrel. What advantage does it give you when firing the gun? I've done a fair amount of...

That's what my cousin amusedly called me the other day. It's true that I am pretty liberal when it comes to social issues. I'm against war, I don't support Bush, I'm pro-choice...hell, I'm even against the death penalty. The only reason I won't join the NRA is because it endorses and gives...

Big 5, in its relentless mission to drain me of all of my money, has put a pump action shotgun with a 28" barrel on sale for $249. It's a Mossberg. When I learned about this, I had just spent a day at the range shooting trap with my Remington 870 Express and was considering the idea of...

Hello, I'm considering one of these mounts for my Yugo M24/47 (I'm putting it in a new stock and replacing the straight bolt with a bent one), and I'm wondering if anyone knows how well they work. I've searched for reviews, but I haven't been able to find any. Here's the link...

Hello, I just purchased a Ram-Line 10/22 autoloader and I'm wondering if anyone else had a similar experience with this product. I'm very dissatisfied with it. It occasionally works, but more often it gets stuck and the cartridges find their way into places where they don't belong and it's...

I'm interested in the universal Mauser scope advertised on this Web site: http://www.gunaccessories.com/scope-mounts/misc.asp It's all the way at the bottom of the page. Anyway, the site says it works with a straight bolt. I'm wondering if anyone has used this scope mount and can tell...

Hello, Does anyone know if a replacement stock cut for a Yugo M48 will also fit a Yugo M24/47? I have an M24/47 and I want to get a stock from Boyd's, but they only have the M48 listed. I called to ask if it will fit, but the customer service rep who answered the phone hadn't heard of an...

Hello, Can anyone suggest a scope mount that will fit on a Yugoslavian M24/47 without putting any new holes in the rifle? I don't have the tools to do any major gunsmithing myself, or the budget to have someone do it for me. I don't really want to permanently modify the rifle from its...

Hello, I just purchased a Yugoslavian M24/47 8mm WWII surplus rifle (I'm on my first day of the annoying 10-day waiting period). Anyway, I'm wondering if anyone has any advice for me before I take it to the range. The bolt and the action don't have any rust on them, but I will need to...

Hello, I have a Ruger 77/22 bolt-action rifle. The rifle is old (my dad got it for me in 1983 or '84), but it's in very good condition. It almost looks like it's new. It also hasn't been fired very much. Anyway, I took it to the range last week and today, and I had quite a few misfires. It...
