Just recently I was involved in a major vehicle collision with a teenage driver who ran a stop sign at full speed. My wife and I are fortunate and blessed to have survived with relatively minor injuries, not counting a broken wrist needing surgery. We were travelling home from a great visit...

Fellow Shooters, I was fortunate enough to be chosen along with 6 other disabled veterans for the Blackwater River State Forest Operation Outdoor Freedom hunt, located in NW Florida. This hunt and similar hunts conducted throughout the state of Florida are authorized by the State Legislature and...

My wife and I visited Pebble Hill Plantation, just outside of Thomasville, GA recently and had the opportunity to tour the house. The guide stated that the armory was located in the basement of the kitchen, however, visitors were not allowed in that area. I did notice some inexpensive black...

I spent an hour and 15 minutes waiting for my background check to go through. The other three in line with me had the same waiting times. Apparently this has been going on for a some time now as the dealer is complaining that it is hurting sales. Is this a recent problem?

I occasionally browse the trading post from time to time looking for a deal or two, but lately it seems rather dismal. Instead of one to two full pages of sellers, you now only see a few posts. I do have my preferences set for post within the last couple of days, but then I've always kept the...

Just curious, does anyone know why rifle ammo is packaged in 20rd boxes and pistol/rimfire ammo in 50 Rd boxes? Who started this standard? It seems that our military weapons designers may have thought of this when designing the magazine capacity for the M14 and early M16 mags. Things were...

Ok..I was watching the episode where one of the sons (the one with the leather jacket that has got to make even the most hardcore bikers colors smell fresh) shooting a deer with a rifle with scope mount, no scope and no sights. What the heck...I imagine you could use a rifles barrel as a...

I primarily hunt Tyndall AFB here in NW Fl and was seriously considering purchasing a Savage 220 f 20 ga slug gun. Enough so that I have already started to buy ammo at $12.00+ a box of 5. Once sighted in I will most likely only shoot it again at live game. The high price of ammo got me to...

Just wondering. Do you think BMF and Bumpfire triggers are unsafe? Would you be ok with the shooter in the next lane using one? On another note, I saw an article today advertising the BMF trigger activators. It is an attachment to the trigger guard that pulls the trigger 4 times for each...

Nothing super special. Just the run of the mill Tula 91/30 that has been counterbored. Definite signs of issue, but otherwise in great condition. The wow part came when shooting the 200 and 300 yard plates using a rifle from 1938 and old milsurp ammo. I received a satisfying ring with every...

To make a long story short, I noticed a range regular with a new rifle. I casually ask about it and he states " It's new, but I had it in the safe for 12 years and finally took it out." What??? I can't stand a week, but 12 years. Really? longest I've ever waited was 3 months, and that's...

Our last Semi Auto panic-- I over payed $250 for a RR lower. Ammunition Panic- I refused to buy any that was marked up from normal, but I have lost a lot of time wasted checking stores for silly .22s. Magazine panic- Paid $30 for a $13 PMag. My big loss- Not selling a Scar 17 FDE at a...

My wife and I are headed to Baton Rouge and New Orleans this weekend. I know that LA is a reciprocal state, but are there any local restrictions in New Orleans or Baton Rouge? also where can i get some good cracklins while en route to Baton Rouge?

Has anyone here read "Misfire" by William H. Hallahan? Any reviews from here? I vaguely remember reading the book at one time. If I'm not mistaken, it was a real eye opener!

I got lucky today at the Panama City Beach Dick's Sporting Good and my wife and I took home 16 50rd boxes of .22 (8 boxes each customer limit). I happy that I even got a few as they just recieved 27000 rounds the day before and they only had 16 50rd boxes left after my purchase. While checking...

Ok...from what I understand, PAY Pal has a somewhat anti gun stance, yet I can renew my NRA membership with Paypal. Did paypal change their position or does NRA not care??

Thumbs up! A sub $10 part made a huge difference! My mags now drop free, trigger pull feels better and I can fire without the mag. Plus the takedown is easier since you don't have to reinsert the mag during the sequence. Just make sure you watch the youtube video by the company as the the...

I just ordered a new Ruger 22/45 with the replaceable grips from an online source. My dealer said it was fine, so long as it isn't Bud's Guns online as he does not do business with them nor did he elaborate why. Go figure. Anyone have a clue as to why a dealer would be reluctant? And yes, I...

First... I'm not advocating that private sales should be regulated as I enjoy the freedom of being able to buy and sell as I please. My question is that would you use a dealers services if he offered a relatively low cost service $10.00 to facilitate a transfer for "peace of mind"? I know...

It's been years since I've hunted Tyndall AFB in Florida and decided to get a permit this year. It is interesting how this "war on terror" has affecte hunting on military installations as I had to get a background check (non DOD) before being eligible to purchase a permit. Has anyone hunted...
