After almost ten years of wishing and wanting, I finally got my "unicorn". A stainless steel Springfield Armory range officer in 9mm. I've had a couple 1911s in the past but they've always been .45. 9mm versions are pretty rare around here and the local shops always wanted an arm and a leg to...

The wife got herself a new 9mm ruger LCR and really likes it, but we are having a problem with bullets pulling loose from the cases. The fifth round in the cylinder will sometimes walk out of the case, locking the gun up. So far, we've tried federal and blazer 115 grain. Today, out of 25...

Just curious how much ammo a modern US soldier using a shotgun would carry and what type? Are shotguns issued as primary weapons? Example: For the M4 the ammo count (from my reading) is 7 mags or 210 rounds of M855 or M193.

Hitting a plate at 800 yards in a crosswind? Shaving a few tenths off your draw time? Making sure that tin can knows you mean BUSINESS? Or is it just the noise?:evil: We all have that little thing(s) that keep us coming back for more. For me, there's nothing better than shooting a nice...

I finally got around to shooting my Savage Mark II BTV at 100 yards with some good ammo. I've been shooting plates in my backyard at 93 yards for a little while now but I always use cheap ammo and my old picnic table shooting bench isn't the sturdiest. Here's the rifle, a Savage Mark II BTV...

My Grandfather, 94, has recently had to give up living on his own and move into an assisted living facility. My mom and her brother were going through his house getting everything accounted for and cleaned up so my cousin can renovate the house for his family. So my mom calls me the other...

With all the "what's your" and "show me" threads, I thought i fall in with the trend. Do you shoot in your backyard? Out your back door? In the woods behind Grandma's house? Let's see it! Now before we get started, let's not turn this into a pissing contest about safety and bullet...

My EBR disease is in full swing now and I've been working on my rifle a good bit lately. It started as a 16" A2 from Del-ton. Most recently, I swapped the A2 upper for a flat top and replaced the YHM 2 piece quad rail with a Daniel Defense EZ CAR 7.0; of course safely protected behind Magpul...

Throughout my perusing here and other sites, I've seen a lot of talk about the ar15 "tier system" of quality and which brands are the "it" brands to have for duty, carbine courses, etc. In particular, I hear about whether or not a rifle will stand up to a carbine course. I've never taken a...

I thought it was funny! Got a new upper receiver to swap out my A2 for. Can't get it changed out until this weekend though, so I put my optics and BCG/CH in it and put it on my lower just for fun. Just had a thought: If I stuck the conversion in the new upper, it seems it would function with...

Just wanted to see which aperture was preferred on BUIS.

I'm going to be swapping my A2 upper receiver for a flattop. That's the receiver only, not the entire upper. All other parts with the exception of the FA and the dustcover will be re-used. Do I need to headspace after the switch?

I posted in the deals section a while back a link to get windowed PMAGS for $12 each. The only catch: they were only available in OD green. Now being the budget minded buyer I am, color didn't matter much when the price was good. I ended up with 7 of them all together. The green mags looked a...

I want to put a Millett SP2 30mm red dot on my AR15. Can anyone tell me what height rings I'd use to mount it to co witness with a standard A2 front sight?

I finally got a chance to take my mom shooting today! She's gone with me once before but didn't really shoot much. We've been having some nice weather so I made the drive to her house; her neighbor has a range in his backyard, how convenient! She's been talking about getting a gun for SD...

CMMG recommends only using high velocity ammo in their AR .22 conversion kits to prevent misfires, doubling, etc. Remington subsonics always cycled my 10/22 and the bolt assemblies look very similar, so I gave it a try. I only had one FTF which will be attributed to the ammo. There was a...

I shoot cameras. It's raining for the next couple days, so I'm doing some photography and playing around with my editing software. I'm waiting for everything to re-charge and was going through some of my other photos. Came up with this after a little tinkering and random button mashing...

Can someone explain USBR scoring for me? I'm shooting the 10 bull target used over on rimfirecentral.com and I know how to score it, but I'm unsure how the scoring system works. Example: Who wins? 99-0x or 98-1x 95-1x or 92-2x Basically, what value do the X's hold? Or are...

I was playing around with the camera and ended up with these: Thought they were pretty cool and worth sharing.

Using my new Savage Mark II BTV with Bushnell 3-9Xsomething (came with it, dying to replace it) I shot my best group ever today! I've been into shooting groups for a while now, but I've always shot mainly at 25 yards. The Savage was doing pretty well at 25 in spite of the parallax irritating...
