    Best place to get Cav-15 lowers?

    I know Cav Arms is going away, and I want to snag a lower for a .45acp build before they get all rare and spendy-like. Looking around I've found some stripped lowers for $125, anyone know a better price or some place selling assembled lowers...

    Pistol caliber AR question

    I've been looking to get a .45acp AR, ideally one that'll take unmodified grease gun mags, and there aren't too many options. Oly Arms which use some funky magazine, a small company called Bazooka Brothers, a guy selling incomplete CNC lowers, Cav Arms Mk-II but I have no idea how or where to...

    Anyone making a good .45acp AR?

    I've been thinking a plain jane .45acp carbine that takes (relatively) inexpensive subgun mags (grease gun, perhaps?) would be a great little gun. Anyone know of a company making something like that?

    Having trouble finding what I'm looking for

    I've been browsing about trying to find a shotgun that fits a few critieria, and I'm not having much luck. I'm looking for: SxS 12ga, internal hammers, double triggers, with ejectors. So far the internal hammer models tend to have single triggers, and most of them lack ejectors. I don't care...

    Griffon distributor in the US?

    According to this website new Griffon 1911's are still being imported from South Africa. I have an email in to them asking for a dealer list, and/or if my FFL can order one directly from them. Anyone know of a dealer State side that carries them?

    Double check my order

    I'm about to order up my first set of reloading gear, and I just had a few questions about the specific gear I'm getting. I'll be reloading for both pistol (to start) and rifle. I have a caliper and a funnel, but that's it. Lee Classic 4 Hole Turret Press Either Auto Disk or Pro Auto Disk...

    Your favorite gun daydream

    Ever get to thinking or talking about gun stuff and find yourself dreaming about something that is wildly unrealistic? Here are a few recent ones from me. Costco selling case lots of Russian manufactured but brass cased and Boxer primed ammo. Mmmmm, cheap pallets of reloadable 7.62x54R...

    Picture request: compare and contrast .357's

    Planning on purchasing a .357 revolver, but I'm having trouble finding a good side by side comparison of the models I'm thinking of. Could anyone post side by side pictures of an SP101 and a Speed/Security/Service Six? If a Md 66 and 640 could find their way in there that'd be even better. :D...

    Cowboy logistics for .45 acp?

    Lately I've been thinking a lot about cowboy logistisc as I try to consolidate my caliber footprint. The big problem with this, is that my wife (and myself to a lesser extent) prefer autoshuckers, esp 1911's. I know, I know Marlin Camp Carbine. It's certainly in my thoughts, but I want to know...

    Diversity vs consolidation: an internal debate

    I recently bought a sportered Swede M96. Beautiful gun, more accurate than I am and a blast to shoot. But the more time goes by, the less happy I am about owning it. Why is that? It adds another caliber to my collection. I love guns. Given unlimited space and money, I'd have one of...

    Switching to a wheelgun for carry

    For a long time I've been considering changing up my carry gun. I have a Springfield XD .45 that I love, but it's just a pain to carry. It was ok (if a little awkward) at first, but I have some nerve damage in my spine that causes occasional severe back spasms. After an episode of those I just...

    interesting optic: Russian scope, German glass

    I was looking at POSP's at Kalinka today when I saw this intriguing little piece. http://www.kalinkaoptics.com/detail.aspx?ID=895 1.5-4.5x20 made by FED. Supposed a Russian design made with glass from the Zeiss factory? Anyone have experience with these?

    Low power scopes: rifle vs shotgun models

    Looking to get a decent scope in the 1-4 or so range. I'm confused about the difference between low power "rifle" scopes and "shotgun/muzzleloader" ones. Just using Leupold as an example, we see the "UltimateSlam" and generic VX-1 shotgun/muzzleloader scopes and the VX-II rifle scope. Is there...

    Springfield XD-45 question

    Hello all, I recently purchased a Springfield XD; .45 with the 5in barrel and short grip. I love it to death, but I have a small question about loading it. I've often heard that one should not directly chamber a round in a 1911 platform. By "directly chamber" I mean insert a single round...

    Reboring an older Marlin

    Hello all, I'm considering buying a Marlin/Glenfield Model 30A. It seems to be a good price and I don't like cross bolt safeties. However, when I get a .30-30 I'd like to be able to rebore it to the Ackley Improved version. Doubtless I've just spent too much time in the Wildcat section of...

    Giving a gun presentation, need help!

    Ok, so I'm going to be doing a firearms training session for a group I'm involved with at church. Super basic stuff; four rules, differences in action types (pistol vs revolver and bolt vs semi vs lever etc), and a few things like that. I need two kinds of help with this, neither of which is...

    Please help me find a WA FFL

    As some of you may recall, I recently EAS'ed from the Marine Corps and moved to W. WA. Things were a bit tight at first, but now that the VA has approved my disability I have a bit of gun money. Not a lot, but some. I want to get a couple surplus rifles before they are all gone, but I don't...

    Bye bye Marine Corps, hello WA!

    A while ago I posted this thread on Armed Polite Society about my discharge from the Marine Corps. I am finally getting somewhere with the process, and God Willing I'll be getting out in the next month or so. I just thought I'd let some of my friends here know what was going on. I got my CDL...

    Colt vs S&W snubs: looking for info

    Since I'll be getting out of the Marine Corps and moving to a CCW friendly state, I've been pondering what carry gun to get. I've settled on a .38 snubby, but I'm trying to get a feel for the pro's and con's of the various designs. You know, Colt's have an extra round but Smith's are more common...
