    Does anyone have any idea where to find powder?

    I mean, come on...this is getting absolutely ridiculous! NO powder, anywhere! Has anyone heard anything? What about the Accurate Arms and Ramshot powders? Alliant? Anything at all? I'm specifically interested in the Pacific Northwest.

    On AR15 Barrels...I need one!

    I am about to build an AR15. It will not be for duty, contingency or anything serious at all. Not for competition, either. This will be a pure fun gun, something to punch holes in paper with. As for components, I'm not too picky. I'll use Colt parts for the small stuff--a RRA 2 stage...

    About to pull the trigger..

    ..on a new shotgun. I have been bitten hard by the 3-gun bug...and I want a new shotgun! Actually, I have two serviceable pump shotguns--a Winchester 1300 and a Remington 870. Both are smooth and work well--but I want a good semiauto. So, out of the shotguns noted, which would you...

    New Practices...?

    Here's a question for all fellow shooters.... I noted at the range a little while back a young man with an AR15 pattern carbine. The carbine had a dot sight mounted on the top rail---AND stationed on a side rail (90 degrees out) was ANOTHER dot sight. Every now and then, the young...

    So, how do I go about this???

    What a nightmare! Recently, I attempted to ship some ammunition back to a powder manufacturer to attempt troubleshooting of a pressure problem. I attempted to ship the ammunition via UPS. I was told that I had to be on some list of authorized shippers, and otherwise could NOT ship...

    I have to get two Pythons fixed...

    and I'm stumped. Is there anywhere to send these two pistols? I'm looking for either a Colt authorized repair center--or someone with an excellent reputation. Can someone point me in the right direction? BTW, I'm in Western Washington.

    Arrrgh! Frustration!!!! Someone help me out here...

    So, there I was out at the range for some quality practice time. I had my duty rifle with me--Savage 10FP-LE2A, in .308. I had some load recipes that duplicated the ballistics of the Federal GM Match .308 round--which is the round that we're issued for duty. It functions flawlessly out of...

    Here it comes---I can't wait!

    A while ago, I was looking about at various platforms from which to launch lead. I found myself recently in a most favorable position--I finally got the guns that I wanted! The gun safe is comfortably full. So, what next? I found myself reading various articles about black powder rifles. I...

    Info needed on Black Powder Cartridge Rifles

    Hi, all! I have been bitten hard by the BPCR bug. Specifically, I want a Sharps. I want one badly....and I will get one! The only thing I am stuck on is caliber--and of course, the durability and capability of the rifle. Why do I want one? For stress relief! Anything that roars...

    Thoughts on a target pistol...

    Well, I'm back from Camp Perry. I went to shoot in the Nationals--and I am VERY upset, to say the least. My scores exactly reflected my levels of preparedness--with all the OT I had to pull from August to April, it was kinda low, as you might expect. Thus, I got mad--and now, I'm seriously...

    Most reliable black rifle?

    I need to have answers--as many as possible. This concerns our favorite black rifle. Pass it along, and relay as many experiences as possible. Here's the question: Have you EVER seen a Colt AR-15, M16 or other AR-pattern Colt rifle fail? By this, I mean stuff like mechanical failure...

    It's coming. Are you ready?

    Note well, the gradual sidling up to the plate of our two democratic darlings, Hillary and Obama. Does anyone NOT think that they will run for office--more than likely as a President/Vice President ticket? Oh, yes they will. So, I know that there are a LOT of people who will declare...

    Need some help here, folks! Someone point me in the right direction, or let me know if you have any for sale. I need the bottom metal (trigger guard, and hinged floorplate) for a Winchester Model 70 long action. (NOT Magnum). A friend of mine has been trying to find some with no success...

    Yet one more question...

    I need your opinions concerning IOR Valdada scopes, paticularly the high magnification ones (4-14, 6-24, 9-36). Experiences? Pros? Cons? Anything will be helpful.

    Burris Xtreme or Nikon Tactical?

    Just when I think I have it pinned down, more information pops up to confuse me. I just read up on the Burris Xtreme, and I am impressed to say the least. I am even more impressed with the review I read about the Nikon Tactical scope--one guy says that quality wise, it falls squarely between...

    Time to choose....

    Folks, I am saving up for a scope. I need one to replace the scope on my precision rifle (duty gun). I have a Kahles 3-12x56, but it's not what I want or need for the job. After much research (and determining that I cannot afford US Optics or a Schmidt & Bender ) I have narrowed it down to...
