Basically settle a friendly bet for me. My brother has been shooting 308 blanks out of his 303 Enfield. I can not help but think this will fatigue the metal in ways it was not meant to be used. He swears it does no harm to his Enfield what so ever. He lives several hundred miles away so I...

A good friend of mine is buying a Colt AR-15 with a Redfield scope. There seems to be a problem with the scope. The objective lens was stuck. There was a set screw on the ajustment and even when it was removed it still would not turn. After lubing and messing with it, it finally broke free...

I can't insert the photo while I am here at work so if someone could do that I would greatly appreciate it http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,521138,00.html Defense Secretary Robert Gates on Thursday praised an Army soldier in eastern Afghanistan who drew media attention this month...

I just used the last of my CCI SPP's and have been amazed how impossible it is to find these things. I never dreamed I would ever have problems finding primers. I am starting to believe we are our own worst enemy. I have to wonder how much of all these shortages are self inflicted.

I just watched the show about the Omaha mall shootings. I understand that Dr Phil's shows sole purpose is to bring in commercial dollars. Givin the fact that his show reaches millions and millions of viewers. We took yet another huge hit today. The "assault weapon" ban is being raised again...

I have been "around" firearms my entire life.(50 years). Most of the people I know that reloaded are dead now.(my Father,Uncle etc...) Reloading is one thing I wish I would have paid more attention to when they were doing it. I just took it for granted that I could ask them anything,anytime. I...

I bought a lamp made from an old Remington Rolling block. I removed the gun from the lamp and cleaned off most of the rust (it was very very rusty) but I can not find any identifying marks on it. The stock has the #534 impressed in the wood and it apears that someone has very sloppily carved...

At what point have you all decided to get you collections appraised and insured. How often do you get you appraisals and Insurance updated? Is there a numeric value at which it becomes prudent for your average gun owner to consider an appraisal or "special" rider is neccesary. Is there a...

My father just passed away a short time ago. He was the one who got me into guns 40 years ago. He left me most of his guns (the ones my stepmother didnt steal or sell). Most of his guns needed some oil and cleaning and they were good to go. A few of them need some rust removed from their...

A firend of mine just asked me a good question. This is a quote from another forum. "I love the size and weight of the USP, but in terms of trigger pulls I really like the 1911's action - I'm not too keen on the 2 step trigger pull of the USP. This is probably a really stupid...

I am looking for information from anyone who has recently traveled there. Particularly their view on CCW. Is my Ohio/Florida CCW going to stand in the USVI? I am going to St Johns for a couple of days and would like to carry while I am there. So far, all I have been able to find out is I...

http://www.guncollectorlicense.com/orderlicense.html Has anyone done this. It appears to be a viable "loophole" if the time ever came. I am just kind of putting a feeler out on this. I have not throughly researched it.

Is this legit. Do you consider it better than a C&R? What is your take on this? Just Crap?:confused: http://www.guncollectorlicense.com/orderlicense.html

Has anyone encountered any problems shipping spent brass? Should I anticipate any problems if I decide to ship some spent brass to my Uncle. We both live in Ohio if that makes a differance. TIA Scot

It looks fairly straight forward. I am applying as an individual. Any pitfalls I should look out for when filling out my application? I seem to have done a 180 degree turn. I would never join an organization or apply for a license because I didnt want to be on a "List". I have recently...

Just take a minute for a prayer for a great American please. I dont normally ask for prayers on the internet. I do not know this man personally but I wish I would have. http://www.homeofheroes.com/photos/7_korea/murphy.html

I have recently gotten into handguns. I have a SIG 229 40 cal and a Kel-Tec p-11. I have been around guns most of my life but hunting with rifles and shotguns were most of what my family did. Normally I would have asked my father this question but he passed away about a year ago. I never...

I just bought a P-11 and am now patiently waiting for the government to approve me (UGH I get held three days evertime I purchase a handgun). Just looking for stories of things to watch for (break in period..jamming etc...) Maybe some shooting or ammo tips. I have been shooting a SIG 229 and...

This is strictly for my personal use. Never to be sold etc..... Are there any pitfalls I should look for when purchasing an 80% lower. Is one company better than the next. Titanium over Aluminum advantages/disadvantages? I have access to a full machine shop but I have never attempted a...

An aquaintence of mine was just given an 870 12ga by his Grandfather and he does not want it in his house. I told him I would like to buy it but have no idea what the old 870's are worth. He lives about 4 hrs from me but I trust his judgement when he says it is in real good shape. He says the...
