Like the title says, who makes the best insulated hunting bib? Not only is the insulation important, but the design as well. Personally, I don't care for stretchy suspenders. Also, a decent pocket layout is a must. I went to Bass Pro over the weekend (each time I go there I like it less and...

After lugging around a friends Remington R-25 all Thanksgiving weekend, I strongly desired a lighter .308 AR. I went into a local gun shop yesterday and handled a DPMS LR-308L which comes in at 7.9 lbs. They had an R-25 in stock as well and picking the two up back to back is like night and day...

I'm sure many of you know about the latest Blackhawk crash in Afghanistan which killed 3 Navy SEALs, a NSW member, and 6 Army soldiers. Tonight I found out that one of the Navy SEALs killed was someone that I knew. His name was Brendan Looney. For confidential/secrecy reasons I'm not...

My Grandfather passed away in June, leaving behind a handful of rifles that hadn't been fired in decades. Knowing that I would use them more than anyone, my dad and his brothers gave two of them to me. Both are in absolute MINT condition. The first is a single shot Remington 514 in .22lr...

So annoyed! Full Auto CZ 75 (9mm) CZ Bren 805 A1 (5.56 or 7.62) CZ Bren 895 A2 Carbine (5.56 or 7.62) CZ Scorpion Evo 3 A1 (9mm) Here's a link to the page on their international site so you can drool/ hate your life more...

Does anyone know of a full size holster, under a hundred bucks, that will fit an M&P Pro? There seems to be a lot of holsters that will fit, but the muzzle sticks out about an inch and a half, and I'm looking for something that covers then entire muzzle. I don't have a preference for material...

So I shot a new H&K UMP .45 at the range a couple days ago. A cop walked in that I knew from back in the day and had one. He loaded it up with .45 200 grain +P. OUCH!! I've shot 9mm, .40, .38, .357 Mag, .45 (pistols), 30-30's, .270's, 12 gauge, etc. This gun kicked more than anything I've ever...

The thread started by 351 Winchester "Stranger in the woods" got me thinking about things, and I just wanted to provide some food for thought here: Last year from March 29 through October 6 I hiked the entire 2,178 mile Appalachian Trail, from Georgia to Maine. Most of the trail requires that...

First, I want to apologize in advance if this topic does not have a place on the forum; if deemed necessary, feel free to remove it. To those who are Marines: I am a recent college grad, and am highly considering enlisting as an Officer in the Marine Corps. I have several friends in the...

Hey guys, I'm doing my AR build and the next step is the upper. Now, the two that I'm looking at are: Stag Arms Model 2H found here: http://www.stagarms.com/product_info.php?cPath=14_24&products_id=241 Spikes Tactical M4 LE found here...

My girlfriend and I are going with my buddy and his girlfriend up to his cabin in Maggie Valley, NC, and I want to bring my shotgun and a couple pistols to have some fun, but am wondering where we can go to shoot. Obviously we don't want to trespass on private property, so I'm wondering what...

So I've just picked up a Spike's Tactical stripped lower to build my first AR totally from scratch. I started watching some of the really helpful assembly videos on Brownell's site, and noticed that they frequently use a lower receiver vice block sold on their site. I see how this wonderful...

M&P Barrel Damage?? **UPDATED PICTURES** So I took my new S&W M&P compact 9mm shooting for the first time this weekend, only putting 150 rounds through it. It shot pretty well, but I'm still getting used to the trigger, and shorter sight radius. So I get home and take the gun apart for...

Hey guys and gals, I'm about to go pick up a brand new S&W M&P Compact with thumb safety. While I've shot many pistols, and helped clean them, this will be the first pistol the I've owned. I'm curious about the way I should go about breaking in this particular pistol. What are the first...

Hey guys, Again, in lieu of my Appalachian Trail trip, I was wondering if anyone has a good method for attaching a kydex sheath to a back pack strap? I'm going to have a kydex sheath made, so I'm wondering what the style of the sheath should be. Should I have a MOLLE (I think this is the...

Hey guys, I really need some help finding an outdoor, survival type knife, as I will be leaving in March to hike the Appalachian Trail in its entirety. I'm looking for something tried and true, between five and seven inches. Weight is a limiting factor, as it all adds up pretty quick in a bag...

I bought a Benelli Nova last Christmas, and it came from the factory with three chokes: Improved Cylinder, Modified, and Full. About three months ago I went to screw the Modified choke in for the first time, and it wouldn't go past about a half a turn (the other two chokes go in like butter)...

Ok, while I would typically get a bit defensive if no one responded to a thread I started, as I like to ignite thoughtful and insightful discussions; I won't hold any grudges on this one, as the task I'm asking of you is nearly impossible. About 15 years ago, when I was in maybe 4th or 5th...

A friend passed away yesterday when he took his own life with a gun. We were reasonably good friends (but in different fraternities). He had briefly dated my sister, but they remained close friends and was in my apartment less than a week ago. It was something that came out of nowhere, and...

I handled two 642's back to back today. The first had the stock, short rubber grips on it. The second had a longer set of laser grips on it. I really prefer controllability of the slightly longer (laser) grips, and surprisingly, it feels better in my pocket. Here's the dilemma: I want the...
