I'd like to carry in a shoulder holster. I've bought a couple and been disappointed. I'm fairly slender, so a lot of guns stick out like a sore thumb. I'm looking to carry a 1911, Tokarev, or 4" K frame Smith and Wesson. I'd like a quality holster where the straps don't show in front (ie. no...

My friend bought a brand new Taurus 27/7 G2C in .40 S&W today. We took it out, and it jams every once in a while. The slide locks back and won't go forward even when you press the release. :cuss: We took it to a gunsmith I know, and he looked at the inside of the slide and found scoring and...

I've been working with a friend's H&R Topper 12 gauge single shot. The gun light strikes at least half of the time, and I'm at the end of my rope with it. I've tried Winchester cheap bulk ammo, I've tried buckshot, and I've tried Herter's #4 shot in it, and all perform the same. I've also...

About a week and a half ago I posted a thread about Midway and their lack of Postal Service shipping options in the last year. I had sent them emails earlier in the fall, and I sent them one just after Christmas, and received no reply. I also had a couple of my friends send emails, and one of...

A friend of mine had an experience with a potential hold-up a few weeks ago, and I thought I might write about what he told me and the things he learned. He went shopping late at night (2am). He's been through a divorce this last year, so he was in a bad mood, and went out to clear his mind...

About a month ago, a friend of mine bought this book: http://www.amazon.com/Jack-Hinsons-One-Man-Civil-Sniper/dp/1589806409 I managed to borrow it from him for a bit, and it's been an interesting read. To sum it up - A farmer's two sons are executed in the Civil War by Union soldiers. He...

In the past, I've gotten decent service from Midway. I've been a customer with them for almost ten years as I've moved from state to state. They used to have fast shipping and great rates. Not anymore. :mad: This year, they have dropped their old USPS shipping option. I like the Postal...

Just picked up an old Marlin 49DL .22 for cheap and it has an irritating problem. For those not familiar, it's basically a Marlin 60, but a tad older. I've cleaned it, oiled it, and it still won't shoot right. If it fires a round (which it usually takes two hammer strikes to do it) the...

I'm curious about wildcatting, and how to do it. I'd like a 1911, that shoots a round with a 10mm-derived case. I know about .357 Sig and 9x25 Dillon. So, what else has been done with 10mm? Anyone neck it down to .32 or .308? What about .22? Also, what resources are out there about...

I've seen photos of heavy barrel benchrest slug guns used at matches like Friendship, but I can't find much info about them. Does anyone on here have one? I'd love to see more pictures, but from what I can tell they are quite rare. Thinking about having a heavy barrel .50 made out of an...

I came across the concept of instinct shooting introduced by Lucky McDaniel in the 1950's. Seems kinda neat, and I'd like to try it out. I've got a couple of old BB guns with easy to remove sights, and probably about 30,000 BB's just laying around. Since ammo is so expensive, maybe I can use...

Obama keeps talking about how "90%" of the people support what he wants to do against the second amendment. How could we go about showing the rest of the nation how big the actual "10%" really is? I'm thinking kind of along the lines of the "1%" outlaw biker patches you used to see. What...

Disclaimer: This thread is about something strange, silly, and possibly dangerous. Please don't take anything posted here as an actual recommendation to go and try this stuff. Late night pizza and discussions yield strange ideas. I was chatting with a friend about reloading her .50 bmg in...

My buddy and I were shooting her .50 bmg the other day, and we started talking about reloading. She mentioned that one of her big turn-offs to the idea of reloading the .50 bmg is that it uses special powders unlike the regular powder she uses to reload .30-06 etc... and therefore her local...

OK ladies and gentlemen, I need some help with my new obsession. I want a stainless AR-15. Stainless lower, stainless upper, stainless barrel. Bright shiny magazine (if possible). I want it with a 1911 grip, since I know they make these. I want to equip it with wood furniture, as I have...

I inherited a Remington 700 BDL .243 rifle from my grandpa's estate last year. The stock, receiver, and exterior are in pristine shape, but he used it so much that the barrel's interior is not in good condition. In order to be able to use this rifle and honor his memory, I'd like to rebarrel...

How probable do you think it is that in the year 2013 we see a successful law passed to restrict magazine capacity? (as in passed by both house and senate, and signed by the president) Just trying to figure out the level of anxiety in the room.... BTW - if you rank in the "highly likely"...

A little background on this thread.... I saw an MVP at a local gun shop and I'm intrigued by its use of AR-15 magazines. I currently have a Ruger Mini 14 for use when I'm out in the country for shooting varmints, casual plinking, etc. I have AR-15's (plural) and only one Mini 14. So, I'm...

I'm slobbering over a pic that BHP FAN posted in a BP CCW thread. Anyway, he mentioned that I could buy the thunderer grip frame for an Uberti cattleman on VTIgunparts. Is this a drop-in fit? If not, what fitting is required? Is there a size difference between the bird's head grip frame that...

This thread comes off of a discussion I had with a friend. We all know that military folks carry a good amount of ammo and gear with them. Military snipers who use a .308 bolt action will quite obviously carry extra ammo, a sidearm, and whatever other supplies are necessary for the mission...
