Bought a RRA LAR-8. It uses both FAL metric and UK L1A1 inch mags. I failed to do due diligence, assuming both types would be readily available. NOT! Locally all I can find is essentially trash. Believe it or not no mags are available from the RRA online store (at least not the last time I...

Who's got an LAR-8 standard model manufactured within the last 6 months? I ask because it is my understanding that RRA had some serious problems with the LAR-8 when they originally came out with it back in 2008. Prtoblems fixed? Finding reviews online for anything new has been a no-go for...

NOTE: Please don't turn this into a discussion of the merits of OC vs CCW. There's enough threads covering that issue already. Oklahoma just passed open carry. Right now it's just for those of us with a CCW license but it is a good first step. Waiting for the Gov to sign it (he's got 5 days...

A friend at work and my boss - also a friend are about to make a deal. The friend is a reloader - big time. My boss wants to buy some 9mm from him. On a regular basis. I can see buying 50 or so rounds 3 or 4 times a year from him being copacetic - kinda like a face to face gun sale 3 or 4...

That is the question... See subject. Thinking real hard about getting one. .357 Magnum power in a semi-auto gun. It wouldn't be for carry or anything. Just one of those "I got one kind'a things". A range gun for sure. They run around $1360 or so here in Oklahoma City and cost really isn't...

Saw an ad for the Springfield Armory EMP in the last issue of American Rifleman. Thought thats cool. Light. Would make a good carry gun and would fit in a number of IWB holsters I've already got. AND! To make it even better it's a 1911 that comes in .40S&W (my favorite handgun caliber for...

The lum-tec thread and a post there got me to thinking about night sigts vs flashlights and what situations either is appropriate. For me night sights is the only way to go. If I'm at home and a break in occurs at night then night sights it is. I know my home way better than the burglar and I...

...a sawed off shotgun? I'm a rifle/pistol guy. Though I own a couple of shotguns, one for HD and one for CAS I don't know jack about them. You hear about sawed off shotguns in movies, on TV and even the news media occassionally. Sawed off SG's must be really evil though because they are...

I'm in the large & heavy camp when it comes to choosing a bullet for SD and hunting. Been reloading .45ACP with 230gr XTP's and 230gr Ball for years. Both perform very well at all velocities and loads from a mouse phart 780 to a 1010 FPS +P screamer using HS-6. Lately I've been considering...

There was a time when I actually considered donating to GOA - not any more. They're taking credit for the Heller decision. :cuss: OR at least giving themselves more credit for influence than I believe they actually have. :rolleyes: I've seen arrogance in my time but this is just too much.

Currently my pocket gun is a S&W 638. 5 shots of .38 Spl +P. Will do the trick. Though I can fire it single action quite well I cannot fire it double action worth a hoot and in most SD situations DA would probably be the necessary trigger to use. That wouldn't do me much good though since I...

Milt Sparks - Versa Max 2 They're taking orders now for NOV delivery. I'm in the market for an IWB holster for my SIG P220. Currently use a Don Hume - works but isn't terribly comfortable and with just one clip tends to wobble around on my belt. I've heard good things about the VM2. Is it...

Sounds right to me but what do I know... What do y'all think?

Bonus time coming up in a few weeks. 90% of it is earmarked for the ole retirement savings account (don't wanna eat cat food when I'm old) but there'll be a thousand or two left over to buy new toys. Emphasis on TOYS! I'm looking for something different from the same ole same ole. Sooooo...

Too bad we'll never be allowed to own one of these. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p4ebtj1jR7c

My boss sent me this pic. Claims a friend of his had his modded. Maybe... But even so this is pretty cool. :D

A (for lack of a better term - so forgive me C&R holders) real FFL holder can ship handguns using the US Mail. Can one with a C&R FFL ship handguns via US Mail?

I got a Savage M93 in .17HMR for Christmas along with some 20 gr ammo. I was wondering if I can shoot my steel targets I have for .22LR with it without punching holes in them. Not sure of the steel's thickness but they're the standard spinners and I imagine are 1/4" or so. What say you...

My wife is horrible at keeping secrets and hiding Christmas presents. ;) So I know that what's gonna be under the tree for me on Christmas day is a Savage 93R17-GV. What can I expect from this rifle accuracy wise? Never owned a Savage before and wonder about the accutrigger it comes with...

A local gunshop has a CZ-452 American in .17HMR and I'm considering buying it. I have a CZ-452 LUX in .22LR. Very fine rifle. Very accurate. Very nice wood so the fact that the .17 is a CZ is a big plus. I've no experience with .17HMR at all but I think it would be a nice addition to the...
