I urge all members to right to the President, Vice-President, their Senators, and Representative, as well as anyone else who might have influence of the selection of the members of the President's Commission. I'm writing to ask that two people be included on the Commission: Dr. John Lott...

I'm look for a new carry pistol and prefer hammer fired over striker fired pistols. I'm also looking for a single stack magazine. I like the Walther PPS, but it is a striker fired pistol. I'm looking for a 9mm pistol. Sig appears to make some (290 and 239 DAK). Are there any other pistols...

I have all hammer fired guns, and do a fair amount of dry firing using snap caps. Since all of the guns are DA/SA or DAO I can dry fire them without having to rack the slide. I'm looking into getting a striker fired gun (a Walther PPS) and would like to dry fire this gun using snap caps. How...

I'm look at doing an AR15 upper build and have been doing research on various parts of the upper to figure out what I want. I want a flattop upper with bolt assist. Other than style, brass deflectors, and billet vs. forged, what is the real difference between upper receivers. Many of the...

I have a case of Federal XM193 5.56 NATO Ammo and thought that it contained a steel penetrator. However, I held a magnet to it this morning and it didn't stick. As one of the ranges I shoot at doesn't allow rounds containing any steel I want to know if this round is supposed to contain steel...

How do people dry fire AR-15s? It seems like a real pain to have to pull the charging handle after each trigger pull. Is there a mod that you can rig up to re-cock the rifle after each trigger pull?

Is there a good up to date online pricing guide for handguns? I've been searching winning bids on gunbroker.com to get a feel for what I should pay for guns I'm interested in, and I've looked at the "Blue Book of Gun Values", but would really like something that I could search online.

I'm looking for a S&W Revolver with a 4 or 6 inch barrel primarily for target shooting and as a back up HD gun. I have a J Frame snubby that I shoot .38 +P with and since I have a lot of that caliber, does it make any sense to go with a Model 686 over a Model 67?

I recently purchased a used Remington Model 700 in 30-06 with a 6x Fixed Bushnell Banner scope. The scope has too little eye relief and is too high powered. I was looking for a quality low power variable, maybe 1x4 or 2x7. Any recommendations on scopes I should look at?

I recently purchased a used rifle in .30-06 and took it to the range for the first time today. I brought with me two different type of ammo, Remington Core-Lokt in 150 gr and 180 gr. I shot two groups of 5 rounds of the 150 gr. first which had a spread of around 6 MOA. I then shot two...

I've watched some of the AGI videos and read many books on gunsmithing, and I've done some simple gunsmithing projects on my guns, but would like to learn more and do some more sophisticated work. How does one go about getting started in gunsmithing? Is the AGI correspondence courses any good?

I'm under the understanding that if you do not manufacture the receiver, then you are not a manufacturer. Thus if you had a business where you assembled rifles (AR-15s for example) using receivers made by other companies, you would need a manufacturer's FFL. Is this correct?

I recently purchased a new to me Remington M700. How tight should I torque the action screws when reassembling the rifle? Does it matter? Is it something that will change from rifle to rifle and I need to check what torque give best accuracy? If so, what are some good starting values to try?

Can you determine the age and model variation of a Remington 700 from the serial number? If so, could someone point me to a source of this information. I picked up an older M700 this weekend. Looks to be a BDL (nice checkering, fore-end and grip caps, white line between elements of the Monte...

What are the advantages / disadvantages regarding establishing a trust for NFA weapons? Does it matter as to the type of NFA Weapon? Also, what are the storage requirements for NFA weapons. Must they be in a true safe, or is a locked metal cabinet enough, and who can have access to them if they...

I'm interested in a bolt action rifle for target shooting and maybe hunting. I'm trying to decide which caliber to get my first rifle. Initially, I was thinking .308 WIN as an all around versatile round. But then started looking at .243 and then .270, and know back to .308. I like to be...

Are indirect fire weapons considered destructive devices? For example is a 60mm mortar a DD? I assume that if it is then, each projectile for it would be as well, so you'd need a tax stamp for each round. What about antique cannon? are they DDs?

With a Ramped Barrel does the barrel ramp actually touch the magazine? If so does it still touch the magazine when the bolt is close and a round is chambered? Do it depend upon the particular model? What about 1911s? Are there any guns where the ramp does touch the magazine?

I know that there are a number of new materials usinged in Guns such as Titianium (Ti) Scandium (Sc), as well as Aluminium(Al), Iron (Fe) and High Carbon Steel. Are any guns made using Tungsten (W)? Are there any guns with non Steel chambers or barrels? Anyone know specifically which alloys are...
