    Burris Speed Bead

    Greetings, I'm considering adding one of these to a HD/Tactical 870 Remington. Anyone own one? Google Images I want to know if they are good for quick pickup and medium distance shots (25-50 yd. w/slug). How durable are they? Would they stand up to daily bump-and-grind? Thanks

    Question about gun shipping.

    This is a curiosity question... I know its illegal to send a gun directly to an individual in another state without an FFL being involved in the transaction. However, let's say one of us was selling a fine rifle at a local gun show and came across an individual interested who didn't have cash...

    I hate winter!

    GRRRR... Ordered a PSL from J&G while they're cheap and not banned yet.:uhoh: Placed my order in the middle of last week -- was coming UPS. I figured it'd be here by Monday. Nope. Tuesday, called my gun shop and still no package. I had to leave to go to Kentucky for work. They called me...

    J&G Sales ship time?

    To anyone who has ordered from J&G sales before: How was the shipping time? I'm impatient and waiting on a Romanian PSL.:neener:

    Oh boy. Another active anti-gunner in a position of power.

    About to dive in

    Going to take the plunge and buy my first shotgun this week. I'm looking at the Riot-Gun trade-ins that Bud's has on sale. Remington 870 4+1 with 20" barrel, Speedfeed stock, rifle sights. Anything I should look for in particular on a used Remington 870?

    Ammo in East TN

    If you're like me and have been looking for .22LR for a long time around here, Dick's in Kingsport has boxes of .22LR for between $18 and $25 for a brick. They had quite a bit of other stuff, too... pretty good prices as well. Stopped by there today and picked up a couple boxes; I was...

    Price check on AR-10...

    What would you all call a fair price on an AR-10? There is a new Armalite for sale locally, 20 inch barrel, green stock, flat top. What is fair for it?

    Thought I would relay this -- Smith & Wesson Model 41

    GREAT little target .22; my dad has had one since the '80's. He picked it up NIB for $150 back then. They now go for about $1300 direct from S&W. We went shooting this weekend; dad is a firm believer in RKBA and enjoys shooting, but he's far from a "gunny." He doesn't shoot very often. He...

    SIG Mosquito?

    Opinions? I'm thinking about picking one up soon for plinking and practice. Plus, everyone needs a good .22 pistol, and I don't care for a .22 revolver.

    Grrrrr....

    :cuss::cuss::cuss::cuss::cuss: Had an accidental discharge tonight. Checking some new .22LR ammo I bought for my plinker. Loaded two rounds to see how the bolt would cycle them (it's picky about ammo, and I wanted to see if the round-nose I bought would do ok). Well, I had a slamfire on...

    So much for sleeping tonight.

    Well, I'm turning in around 11:30 tonight, when I get a knock on the door. I say "just a sec" and put on some jeans, tuck my 1911 (8+1) into my pants and toss a shirt on, go over to the door in my motel room. I figure it's probably the clerk or something (doesn't occur to me that no one has...

    Opinions? What would you do?

    I bought a Taurus PT1911 a while back and have really enjoyed it much more than my Glock 17 I used to carry (still have it). Wife has a S&W 9mm for her house gun, she's confident with it and likes how it fits her hand better than the Glock. I also have a black powder replica Colt 1861 navy...

    Ignorance spouted once again from the Memphis Commercial Appeal...

    http://www.knoxnews.com/news/2009/mar/14/dozens-with-violent-history/ My personal favorite: Tennessee's "shall-issue" permit rules don't allow discretion to root out applicants such as Sims, gun-control activists say. "It forces officials to issue (permits) to almost anyone," said the...

    Taurus PT1911 grips

    I've recently acquired a new Taurus 1911 -- I have a set of Pachmayr ALS grips coming in the mail that will replace the factory plastic ones. I was thinking about taking the factory grips and painting them with some left over 383 green (CARC camo green on military vehicles) from my M35A2...

    PSL vs. Mosin Nagant build

    Ok... The 7.62x54R is my favorite cartridge. I cut my long-range teeth building a Mosin Nagant 91/30, and I changed a numbers-matching but counterbored '42 Izzy from 4" high and left from POA at 50 yards to a 6" grouping dead on at 400 yards. I've come across the opportunity to purchase a...

    Opinions on the handling of a minor "confrontation."

    The wife and I were in Nashville a while back, and we had reservations at a hotel we did not realize was in a somewhat "undesirable" area of town. We had been out most of the day, and were doing some shopping, etc. We headed back to the hotel, dropped our stuff we had gotten that afternoon...

    Taurus PT1911

    I've fallen in love with this gun. I like the way it looks, love the feel of a good 1911, and I like the 8+1 capacity. I've found a new blued one with the straight-8 sights for $520 + FFL costs. Does this seem reasonable? I can't say I've researched much into them -- if you own one, would...

    New Member -- Winchester 74 question

    New member here, and I have an old Winchester 74 in .22LR from 1948 that was a gift to me several years ago. It was in rough shape -- the stock had holes in it from a failed attempt to mount a scope by the previous owner, and it looked like it had never been cleaned since it was new. I've...
