From the liberal bastion of Newsweek, this pretty much says what I've been feeling since the VA-tech shooting happened. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/18161645/site/newsweek/ I think it's important now more than ever to voice support for our cause and to keep in contact with our congress...

Sometimes in the firearms biz there are obvious things you can't believe people don't make, or that they don't make more of, or that no one knows about. What are your products? Here's my list: 1. I can't believe no one makes reproductions of cool or interesting historical guns but...

I have a 12FV in .223 that I really like but due to a strange and disheartening accident the barrel is all but ruined. Short story, a piece of debris lodged ahead of a chambered round, and gouged the chamber/throat in a critical area. It can be reworked, but on a gun costing so little, it's...

I was at my local show this weekend and saw a booth of SASS shooters all duded up in their cowboy suits, handing out literature. Up till now I never gave them much thought, but something struck me about their group and gun owner's reactions to them. For whatever reason, people filed by or...

I was walking around the last show I attended, and wondering what would be a good thing to market and sell to gun owners. Couldn't come up with anything really so I'm laying it out there for the peanut gallery. What would you like to see sold at a gun show that you haven't seen before, or...

Had a neutered 20" Hbar Bushmaster that I bought on a whim a while back. Shot well enough, but was a pretty boring rifle. Had a long couple years to look at it and dream all the setups I could come up with to improve it. In the end, I decided to keep it simple, but still make it unique. What...

Bought a Cx4 Storm and of course I MUST accessorize the thing. So, armed with photoshop and a some product pics I dreamed this up as my ideal setup. Seem like a decent setup? I can get all the stuff to do it, the rails from Beretta, the red dot obviously and the vertical grip, but the...

Let's say you could be R&D, president & marketing for a new gun company. Unlimited tooling & gunsmithing options. What would you design & sell? The caveat is it has to be relatively affordable & legal. Also, a market for it or your design will assuredly fail. Here's mine: All American...

I have been listening for a few months now. While I'm happy there is even a show on the radio about guns, some things definately irk me about this show and I must rant now. First off, while Tom Gresham is a well spoken, fair host and generally pretty good with callers. He tackles RKBA...

Eric Fingerhut, Democrat from Cleveland is introducing legislation to ban "assault weapons" here in Ohio....because as he says the ban is going to sunset so we need to outlaw these dangerous guns. Couldn't let that go so I fired off a letter. Here tis: Senator Fingerhut, Having recently...

Went to the indoor range near me for some pistol time. Normally I shoot at my place but weather was sucky and decided I needed to mingle with other shooters. Shoulda known better! :D Got to the range with my TZ99, P89 & a Taurus PT945, and began shooting - mainly just doing double-taps...

I know how to do it, but it takes a concerted effort on our part. Everytime you buy a gun similar to an HK (Sig pistol, AR, AK, etc.), simply fax or mail a copy of the receipt to H&K's American Corporate headquarters and inform them that this sale was lost to their competitors because they...

Got two new shooting irons lately, thought I'd pass along my experiences for those interested: The first gun I bought was the Kimber Target Rimfire, Kimber's new dedicated .22. It's aluminum, with their conversion slide on a lightweight dedicated .22 frame. The marketing buzz was that this...

Went to my local club for their CMP Match/Clinic and shot the reduced course (100 yards) in 6 stages. This wasn't my first match, but was my first "formal" rifle match (I'm used to pistols) and my first NRA/CMP style event. Unfortunately there were more newbies than experienced shooters, so...

I have a new Kimber Target .22 (the new one, not a conversion). It's light, accurate and very neat, if not a bit overpriced but that's another story. One problem tho... It's only a few days old, and during break-in I'm getting FTF's on the first 4 or 5 rounds of every mag, every brand of ammo...

I have a P17 Enfield I purchased recently with some damage - namely a ringed barrel and a feed ramp that has been gouged and shodily repaired. Other than that, it's a very nice rifle parts and stock wise. I can re-weld and correct the feed ramp no problem, but I haven't done a barrel before...

I think I know the answer to this :( but wanted to make sure I am not missing out on something in my area. I know of very very few rifle ranges period in the Columbus area, but I'm itching to get CMP affiliated and can't find any club or event which will help out. Seems like Northern or...

I just got a new Bushmaster XM15 E2S (A3 upper, 16" barrel). Had a sale going at my local shop and I had a tremendous moment of financial stupidity. Oh well, it's good for this thread if not my marriage! :D Anywho, simultaneously, a guy I work with who has 3 kids showed some interest in...

I was at a public range not long ago shooting my Enfield, doing some fire-forming to my brass. At first I was all alone at the end of the range so I let my brass go, it was landing immediately behind me to the right. It was making a neat pile so I figured I get it when I was done. Mind you, I'm...

I read somewhere that Sig226 mags could be slightly modified to fit a TZ99, then in a search on the old firing line a guy said a S&W mag was interchangeable (sounds unlikely), and yet a third source said Beretta 92 mags worked. ???? Anyone know if any of these are true?
