This is a question I have been wondering. Why is it that so many companies can make AR15 rifles and sell them for profit? Is there no patent on the design? Does it have something to do with the fact that the military adopted the design and it becomes "Public Domain"? Is this why 1911...

Something that just struck me, is not the sunset of the AWB the first nonviolent return of gun rights to the people from the government in history? Maybe this democracy thing works after all :D

If the assault weapons ban sunsets, what will the term for classifying black rifles produced from 1994-2004 be? Right now it is Pre-ban vs Post-ban, but if the ban sunsets those terms are not going to make much sense. I propose Pre 1994 = "Pre-Ban" 1994-2004 = "Ban-Era" 2004-???? = "Post...

Read the article here: http://www.alligator.org/edit/news/issues/stories/040421speaker.html This character is coming all the way to my hometown to talk about "gun security." I am sure you guys from California know this guy considering the legislation he is credited with - mandator gun locks...

The SHTF. Hordes of wasps have invaded my carport area. I have counted 25 little nests being built. I have no idea why the wasps love my carport so much but that high traffic area is not rental space for stinging insects. Surveying my arsenal of chemical attack weapons I find I am...

The University of Florida Pistol and Rifle club had a fun range meet today at the Lake City Osceola forest gun range. Since a couple of us are THR members I figured it worthy of posting here. Shot a lot of ammo at a lot of stuff, not much more to say than that...

Is this guy just fooling himself or is he trying to fool me? When I read the line about felons I lost it. Either he is an idiot or he thinks I am. Felons are not allowed to own any firearms. The Assault Weapons Ban has nothing to do with Felons ownership of guns. Is this guy salvageable...

What is the difference between a 30$ Tasco 3x9x40 and a $270 Leupold 3x9x40? I am extremely cheap and apparently have very little knowledge or understanding for finer things.

The University of Florida has nearly 600 student organizations. None of them have anything to do with shooting sports. I went to the student activities center and perused the archives and found that there was indeed a shooting club back in 1996. I am going to try to start it back up. I got a...

A friend of mine is looking to get another 22 caliber rifle. He has a 22 bolt action breech loading (because he lost the clip) "Savage NRA Match" rifle that he uses. He wants to get a semiautomatic 22 rifle to plink with. He says he wants one that looks "WW2 Military" whatever that means...

A friend of mine has a new kel tec sub 2000 rifle. He bought some ammo today, we are checking it out before we hit the range tomorrow and there is a problem. It is a 40 cal version, using Glock mags. Using the 10 round mag the rifle came with we attempted to feed a cartridge and it does not...

Went to the range this morning with a friend to shoot the 22s and centerfire rifles. This is a public range, with no range officers or other supervisory staff there. There are three seperate ranges, each separated by dirt berms. We had one lane preety much all to ourselves for 3 hours and a...

I just got my first gun safe, and after putting the sucker in place I noticed that it came with two pouches of silica gel inside it to keep the internal carpeting dry. I was about to toss them out when I realized that maybe leaving them inside was not a bad idea. Would leaving a dessicant...

I just got a brand new POSP 8x42 scope for my SAR 1. I have it mounted and I am planning to hit the range this afternoon. It looks pretty much to work the same as any other rifle scope, but I was wondering if anyone else had any experience with these scopes and if they had any advice for me...

A friend of mine came by and showed me this super-keen army field manual regarding the North Korean military. It had an extensive listing of small arms used by the N.K.s as well as information on their military structure, armored vehicles, etc. There are a whole series of field manuals like...

I just picked up my SAR 1 and it came with the pill shaped cleaning kit. What are these thingies that come within the metal tube? I figured out the brush, but the other three mystify me.

I am interested in getting a GPS for use hunting and backpacking, but I do not know very much about them. I am interested in getting something on the low end of the 100-200$ range that will be reliable and rugged enough for outdoor use. Any help is appreciated.

I have a 22 I like to use for plinking and I want to mount a bipod on it. I have already tapped sling mounts for it and I am interested if there are any affordable bipods that would mount to a sling mount and would not look out of scale on a Savage 64FV

I have a Norinco SKS and would really like to put a bipod on it, specifically one of those neat looking ones that uses the bayonet lug to mount since I do not have a bayonet for it. What is the legality of this?

I have been looking into buying a good bolt action deer/fun rifle for some time and saw a brand new Winchester model 70 30-06 with a 3-9x40 simmons scope for 400$. Looking over on the winchester website I see that it was the "Black Shadow" variant. I almost walked out the door with it but...
