    Very disappointing range day.

    Well I took my new-to-me Glock 30 to the range today with some bad results. I have shot it once before, only 50 rounds though with no problems. The first time I was shooting Winchester JHP Silvertip 185 gr. No problems with those 50 rounds. Today I was shooting Winchester FMJ flat nose 185 gr...

    Help. Marlin 60 bolt stuck open.

    I just bought this rifle from a gentleman a couple weeks ago so it is not brand new. However it does look it, and he said he only shot 100 or so rounds through it. So today is the first time I brought it out to the range. First 20 or so shot were great. No problems and It was super accurate. I...

    Does this seem fair? I'm kind of ticked at my local range.

    Ok, so the pistol range price is $19.00 for all day as long as you spend $10.00 on ammo. That is not half bad. The rifle range on the other hand is $28.00 per hour no matter what. Same price if you buy ammo from them or not, and there is no all-day deal. So I call them and ask if I have to pay...

    Steyr Scout or Sprinfield M1A Scout Squad

    I am looking at these two rifles for my next purchase. Does anyone have an opinion on which is a better rifle? Are they both completely different machines or are they equal as far as their purposeful use(magazine capacity aside)? They both seem to be high quality firearms. I am leaning heavily...

    Limited range report: P22/Mosquito

    I recently purchased both of these pistols. I know there are a lot of people out there wondering which is better. I can give you my opinion thus far. Today I brought them both to the range. I shot 200 rounds through each one. It is a limited range report as I only used CCI Mini Mags. Both...

    Geez, how back-stabbing are some people?

    It can't be just me that gets annoyed when I see and ad for an AR or any other EBR that reads something like this: "NIB stock AR15, blah, blah, blah, this and that- $1,600. Complain about the price now or pay 3K when they are banned." Um, is that a threat?? Cause crap like that really...

    What value would you place on this rifle?

    I recently acquired this rifle, really not my cup of tea at the moment. I want to possibly sell to finance another project. I hope someone could place a fair value on this rifle. It is a Remington 700 PSS in .308. It has a Millet Buck Gold 4-16x56 scope. It has a Harris bi-pod, and what looks...

    Is it ok to ship ammo loaded in magazines?

    I am shipping some ammo out today. Some of the ammo is loose. The person I am selling to also bought some magazines from me. I am sending enough magazines to put the loose ammo in. Would it be legal to send this ammo loaded in the magazines? Thanks for you help-

    Take a kid to the range, our RKBA depends on it.

    Just bringing a kid to the range one time can make a big impact on how they precieve firearms. They have hollywood movie scenes ingrained in their heads. Bring them to the range and they will see there is a sport in firearms. And it is the best sport in the world. My wife and I are good friends...

    question about ammo going bad

    As you can see I live in the great state of IL so I can't leave a loaded gun in my car or on my person. It's Irrelevant, just throwing it out there. Anyway I do keep a gun in my car. It is in a case along with a loaded magazine. Both stand alone of course. I was wondering does ammo go bad When...

    More than anything, it annoys me when...

    ...someone asks for advice on a good rifle for a particular application. They might state they have never shot a rifle before but want to start out with a .223 or a .308 or whatever. They may want to hunt or just target practice. This person then gets ripped because, duh, you HAVE to start with...

    Anyone shot this through an AR or know if it is a reload?

    I'm buying it pretty cheap $8.00 a box. I'm not sure if it is a reload, the box doesn't say. Will it shoot ok in my AR? Thanks for the help.

    AR newb: How do I use these sights correctly?

    Here is the picture of my sights. My question is how would I line up the sights to hit exactly where I want to hit. This my sound like a dumb question, but I am really just use to a rear sight with a notch cut in it. The way I've been doing it is lining up the bottom of the rear sight with the...

    My first .22, my grandfather handed it down to me yesterday.

    It is my first .22. I've been wanting one for a while now due to ammo costs but never brought myself to buy one. Larger caliber rifles tend to catch my eye at the gun shop. Anyway this one is a Remington Target Master model 510. I did a quick refinish job on the furniture. It turned out pretty...

    Anyone familiar with IL buying and selling laws please help.

    I want to sell one of my firearms in the buy/sell section. I see some people from IL say 'face to face' only. I am assuming they don't want to deal with the cost of FFL transfers. My question is whether or not this is legal.
