I have 2 mosin nagants and a pump shotgun that i left with a friend when i deployed to iraq. Would like to get them back now... but I moved to a different state. (Texas) What's the deal... do i have to have him ship them to an FFL first here? then go pay the transfer fee on my own guns? If...

went shooting my grandpa's M1 that i bought him while i was overseas, and we're havin a bit of trouble. I did a search, but only found an article about this problem happening while charging the weapon... not while firing. The charging handle (op-rod? not sure what terms to use here.) pops...

Just like the title. Due to some retardation on my part, i need a sear spring for my xd45. Anyone know of a shop in the area that might carry it? Or perhaps someone in the area who upgraded theirs have the original spring they'd be willin' to part with. BTW: I'm finally back from iraq and...

Ok, so i got a new toy that you gun nuts will appreciate. https://peosoldier.army.mil/pmweapons/cswcurrentsystems.asp Click on (common remotely operated weapon system in the middle) or here http://www.defensetech.org/archives/001633.html This is the kinda stuff the Army should be spending...

Well, my time in Iraq is finally coming close to the end. I have less than 2 months left, and a good section of that will be sitting around "waiting" to leave once our replacements take over the mission. That said, I'm not returning to the People's Republik of California, I'll be moving to...

Well, someone decided to implement a weapons cleaning "schedule," instead of trusting me to ensure my guys took care of their gear. Today is the day. So this morning, i decided "Well, if we all gotta sit around and clean em, we may as well ensure that they're dirty to begin with," So we...

OK, finally got pics for y'all I'll have a range report from him soon... he's slow on the computer ;-) Anyways, he loves the rifle. I just hope he gets plenty of time to shoot it before the ol' health gets worse. He wrote me a card, which is rare cuz the guy can barely write...

Luckily, i haven't been in a bad enough situation to have to use it as opposed to a longarm, but I have some thoughts about the pistol. First off, it's accuracy and reliability are about what i expected as a prior XD40 owner. It's as accurate as I am, and hasn't had a single malfunction. I...

So, i could post this in "rate transactions..." But I figured the rest of the forum might like to hear it. First of all, stickjockey was a pleasure to deal with. According to grandpa, the rifle was exactly as described, and arrived in a timely fashion. In addition, he threw in extra clips and...

Under sept. 23rd, with the heading "OBVIOUS" :-D

Heres some pics, courtesy of Stickjockey. I've pretty much decided on this gun. He's gonna flip his lid when he sees it :-D He's wanted a garand ever since he got out of the military.

I'd like to give a little response to both Mr. Ross' "Unintended Consequences" and Mr. Bracken's "Enemies Foreign and Domestic." I figure since they both post here, they'd probably read it. The nature of my duty in Iraq means that abou 1% of my time is mayhem, and the other 99% is sheer...

I dont have a birth cert here in iraq, and i'm sure my mother doesnt want to dig thru my stuff to find it. Is a social security card considered proof of citizenship? I've emailed CMP but they have yet to respond Thanks in advance. James

http://www.clarionledger.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060828/NEWS/60828040 I have a friend in Jackson, MS, who says that the two guys were indeed the robbers, and the police say the businessman is well within MS' "castle doctrine" laws, which are new, if i recall correctly Right on!

Hey everyone! I realize I haven't posted in a while, I've been in the big sandbox. I don't mean it to seem like i'm jumping on here just to ask a favor, this is honestly the first chance i've had to post. Anyways, my grandmother has fallen ill, and i seriously doubt she has much longer. In...

What do you get when you put a bunch of soldiers, lots of pyro that isn't on the property book, and a stereo on an outpost in the middle of iraq, with no other US forces (read: field grade officers) for miles? A 4th of july celebrated entirely with star clusters, parachute flares, and non...

Hey all... thought i'd share a couple of observations from "over here" I'm sure Thin Black Line or one of the other guys have some of their own... please share 'em! I heard so many damned horror stories about the M16/M4 and the dust over here, and when my weapon jammed tight in kuwait during a...

Hey guys what's going on? I'm currently "over there" and i have no access to any rifle range right now. I acquired an acog, and i have a borelaser, and I want to verify that it's zeroed. Anyone have a boresight target for an ACOG? Thanks in advance. James

Malone LaVeigh, you raised some interesting questions in a post now closed, and I feel that others may benefit from this. You're a reasonable man, and I'd like to give ya my perspective on things. The hole you speak of in the video of the pentagon was cut out by my fellow search and rescue...

Hey all. Back again. I've got about 3 weeks before I leave for iraq, but couldn't stifle the urge to get this.... http://www.motleycrued.com/photos/thumbnails.php?album=33 Took it to the range today... shoots like a champ. Just like my other XD, only makes a bigger hole. I also shot what...
