I've seen some Steyr M-95/30s that seem to be cut down versions of the M-95 longrifle. Are these cut down versions inferior or substandard in any way to regular M-95/30 carbines? Is there any reason to avoid them?

After waiting for about 65 days, the state finally got my concealed carry license to me. On my lunch break I shot over to Cabelas and picked up a IWB Bianchi holster. Naturally, the concern on my mind right now is whether or not anyone else at work can tell that I'm carrying, and when I...

We're having a family reunion in a week by the Jordanelle Reservoir. One morning I get to take the older kids and any interested adults shooting, but I need to know were we can go shoot that is close by. It can be a public use area with a dirt embankment or a place with benches and posts for...

Who has one? I'm interested in some hearing about first hand experience using these. I'm considering one for my M48 and I want to know what others think of them. How's the cheek weld when using one of these?

I'm looking to mount a scope on my M48 and I'm hoping for some advice about good scope mount options. I prefer a standard eye relief scope option, so scout mounts are out. I've heard of Iron Elite and looked them up. A little expensive, but I'm sure it would work. Are there other good...

I've got an itch to get an M24/47. I already have an M48, which is a similar rifle. So I'm curious what y'all think. Personal experiences? My M48 is a solid enough rifle, but I'll have to either scope it or put on some Mojo sights if I want to hit anything with it. The stock sights are so...

A long time ago I remember seeing a website that showed what the current rifle sales were at Big5. Does anyone here know about this site and where I could find it again?

from all this talk of, "anything less than a .45/.40/.50AE/155mm artillery isn't enough of a manstopper." So last night I had a dream that two men boldly approached me and my wife threatening to do terrible things to my sweet wife. Naturally I drew my gun. When they kept approaching and...

I have a CZ83 and am concerned about getting adequate penetration. I've read a little about this Santa Barbara ammo and want to ask a few questions. 1. I understand that SB ammo is a little hotter than average .380 ammo. Will it damage the CZ83? 2. With SB ammo, will I have to worry...

My eyesight isn't the greatest, and while I shoot fine with the 39 (I love that rifle), I'd love to have a little help to see what she can really do at 100 yards. So I'm wondering which would be better, a fixed 4 power rimfire scope, or an adjustable 3-7 power scope? Is there any real...

I have a CZ83 .380 that I currently use as my self defense pistol. Why? Well, it fits my hand well, the safety, trigger, etc have good ergonomics for me, it points real naturally, and I can hit what I aim at with it. So, given that I'm using this .380 pistol (so we can save the "get a...

Woah! After reading some threads about CA laws, I have questions now. I know someone who lives in CA and was a US Deputy Marshal officer over 20 years ago. He still has several revolvers that he acquired from that period of his life (unless he lost them in a boating accident ;) ). I don't...

I was chatting with a visiting coworker yesterday. He's visiting from our Chicago office and while very good-hearted, is extremely Liberal in his political views. Anyway, during our conversation, it comes out that my hobby is shooting firearms. Immediately after hearing this, he says to...

I've recently found that Silver Bear makes "hollow fmj" handgun ammo. How would hollow fmj perform in accuracy, wounding potential, etc., compared to solid FMJ ammunition?

While browsing at the local Big5, I saw a rather worn Swiss K31. After reading so much about them, I decided to ask to look at it. Long story short...they had another back in the safe, and it was in very good condition. Blueing was very good, rifling excellent, wood had a nice deep amber...

Saw one at Big5 the other day. Seemed to be in pretty good condition, other than a little stock wear. Action was very smooth, bore looked great, and balance seemed good too. So I'm wondering what the consensus is from my fellow Highroaders on these rifles? Are they good shooters? Fairly...

I've got the itch to get a K31, and I'm wondering where I can find some good ones for a decent price (between $100 and $160). Big5 seems to have some for $100, but the one I saw at my local Big5 looked awefully beat up. I'm hoping to find one a in a little better condition and I'm willing to...

My neighbor told me that he was looking for a .22 caliber 1911 pistol. Other than "conversion kits" for normal 1911's (like Kimber), are there any 1911's made in .22?

Well, this year is going to be the year of firearm accessories for me. I've had my Saiga rifle for a year, and I've decided it needs two things: A low powered scope and a pistol grip conversion. My eyes aren't the greatest, and it's a strain for me to aim at small targets beyond 60-70 yards...

I know that in the past there've been some discussions bashing gun shops. I certainly know of a gun store in town where I don't shop because the manager is an arrogant jerk who has lied to me. Anyway, I thought I'd start a topic for those who are pleased with gun shops they know. There's...
