    A load / recoil question shooting clays

    I'm still kinda new to shotguns, and there are alot of details to figure out, so bear with me... I recently purchased a Winchester SX3 for shooting clays. I've taken it to the trap range to try it out, and using a 2 3/4" #8, 1 1/8oz, 1150fps load the recoil is very managable in my semi-auto...

    Crazy birds!

    Joined an outdoor range a few weeks ago, and went today for the second time. One thing I noticed was all the birds that have no problem walking around on the lawn with the shooting and the bullets buzzing over thier heads.:what: Today, in the middle of shooting on the 100yd range, a wild...

    AR15 (S&W M&P15) Accuracy?

    Went to the range today to shoot my relatively new M&P15FT (16" bull barrel, single stage trigger). Now, I know this is not an accurized benchrest rifle, but from what I've read and by the recommendation at the gunshop, I thought this is a fairly good and accurate example of the AR15 platform...

    Rail cover brand on a S&W M&P?

    Anyone know who makes the rubber rail covers that ship w/ the S&W M&Ps? Now that I've bolted a few things onto mine, I'd like to find some shorter pieces to fill in the gaps on the rails. Thx.

    Anyone watching "Smash Lab" on Discovery?

    The show is similar to Myth Busters, but they try and 'invent' things. In tonight's episode, they're looking to do a bomb-proof building. They're experimenting with using Rhinoliner (the spray-on truck bed lining) to protect against blasts. Though this appears as a solid, they actually tested it...

    Non-resident buying ammo in CT or MA?

    I'm thinking of taking some courses at the S&W Acedemy in Springfield, MA. Can I pick up ammo for class (and maybe to take home) at Cabella's in E. Hartford (ideally), or locally in MA? Or do I need to buy it locally and bring it with me. I ask because I've been told in NY recently that I...

    Silly caliber question....

    For purposes of buying cleaning supplies (boresnake, mops, patches, etc...), is .22 basically equivalent to .223? I just bought a .223 (5.56, actually) rifle, and haven't even had the chance to shoot it yet, but will eventually need to clean it. None of the supplies or kits I've seen mention...

    Why shouldn't you store a gun in a fire safe?

    I recently bought a 1.2 cubic foot fire safe rated for 2 hrs to store my handgun and a few documents. After lugging it (150lbs.) up 3 flights of stairs so I could put it in the bedroom closet, I opened the box, and in the instructions it specifically says not to store firearms in there, but I...
