    mini 14 vs. socom 16

    Regardless, I still wouldn't buy one right now, I think it's less likely to get banned because it doesn't have scary features. Well, aside from being semi-automatic… and I doubt they'll ban all semi-autos. Canada will, but the US won't for a long time.

    mini 14 vs. socom 16

    When RatDrall? If it was in the last month it's a stupendous deal! The mad rush on “Assault rifles” it's pretty hard to find anything for bellow MSRP. $670 is considerably lower than the very lowest model's current MSRP of $872.00. But it depends how many a dealer bought and how long ago.

    mini 14 vs. socom 16

    You can find used Mini-14s for $650 for sure, but it's a "young man's gun" which means it's a bit like buying a used Mustang… If you want to go used, you can still find various M1As and Norinco M-14S/M305 rifles for around $800, however the pre-import-ban Chinese rifles are sketchy and I...

    mini 14 vs. socom 16

    These two guns really aren't even close to each other, it's not Apples to Oranges it's Apples to Eggplants. Never mind the fact that the SOCOM is currently selling for more than twice the price ($2,100 vs $900), they fill completely different roles with different rounds. What do you plan to...

    M1A carbine in .460 SW Magnum?

    I don't see a clear advantage to this idea… Why spend all that time and money developing (or presumably having someone else develop) a gas operated semi-auto to fire ~300 grain bullets such that they would generate 3,800J of energy. It's been done. If you want a soup can throwing semi-auto...

    Shotguns under $200

    I ended up getting an H&R Pardner in 12 gauge and cutting the barrel down to 20" It's got quite a spray but I'll be just fine for the sub 30' grouse hunting and defense. It weighs just 5.2lbs. I'm thinking I might pick up a synthetic pistol grip stock and a 20 gauge barrel for it.

    Shotguns under $200

    Drama is more fun; besides if you guys tighten up your gun laws we'll go tighter, that's how it works.

    cheap scope question..

    People were shooting at stuff 500 yards away long before today's fancy optics. Only they accepted they might miss! Sure now we expect to be able to sight in a scope for 500 yards and land rounds on target with reasonable accuracy. Heck some people even hunt out at 500 yards (I don't think it's...

    Shotguns under $200

    BLARG! And the next big trip to the US is to Hawaii and it's in Feb so I won't even be able to stock up then and send them back! (via an exporting FFL of course) of course by then Obama could be in office or McCain that leftist RiNO even so prices will go up because people will be stocking up...

    Shotguns under $200

    We aren't lucky enough to have Dick's Sporting Goods stores up here :( I can take the light weight single shot, hell I'm considering the 10ga so I can load some 1.5oz rounds. I'm built like a brick shh... something ;)

    Shotguns under $200

    I don't really want a pump gun even under $200 I'd rather save up for a nice OA for my next shotgun or maybe a Benelli

    Shotguns under $200

    The used market up here sucks because of the paperwork involved in transferring guns. Heck it sucks buying new guns! In city with a population of a million (well some suburbs in there too) we only have a handful of gun shops, I think there are actually about 6 but I'd only say 3 or 4 are "real"...

    Shotguns under $200

    I'm looking for a cheap shotgun to blast some paper with, maybe take birding and to keep around the house. However I'm broke. I also really like single shot break action auto ejectors so I've got some options. Obviously for $200 I'm not getting anything nice, or even reliable probably a New...

    Serbu Super Shorty Question

    There's no reason you can't go hogging with it, you've just got to have big brass balls to get close enough hah

    Is this a legit FFL?

    I'd say it's probably legit, there are TONS of FFLs run out of other businesses, perhaps the dentist is really into firearms and wanted to be able to buy easier or maybe the dentist office is a cover and it's really a gun shop but they claim to be a dentist shop to get Novocain hehe

    cheap scope question..

    Let's be realistic here, cheap scopes are FINE for cheap rifles shooting at cheap targets. The buck isn't getting away when the buck is a pop bottle. You should be lucky scopes are so cheap in the US, up here in Canada we can't even buy many brands and models and when we can they're 50-100%...

    Advice on improving *my* accuracy (the gun is fine)

    Thanks for the good advice guys, I'm limited to the 40 yard range as the nearest 100 yard range is a good hour outside of town and I'm not a member ($80). Right now I have a Bushnell 3-9x42mm scope on there, the iron sights were too hard for my eyes to make good use of, I'm terrible with low...

    Advice on improving *my* accuracy (the gun is fine)

    The rifle isn't bad for being the most bargain basement 10/22 they had, it's a synthetic stocked 10/22 carbine, I took the barrel clamp off and shaved out the synthetic stock and it's doing pretty good. It'll shoot a 1.25-1.5" group at 40 Yards, down from as bad as 5"! The problem I suck. Sure...

    Academy sucks (open carry story)

    shoving someone doesn't qualify as assault in most places, generally there has to be some kind of temporary or lasting injury. Harassment at best and it's not likely to see a court. However he should be fired for touching a customer in a hostile manor
