    30 Carbine Lever Action AR.... Hmmm.

    So, as usual, I was daydreaming about guns today and the thought of a 30 Carbine lever action drifted across my mind. It'd be a weird and probably pointless venture to create one, but I wanted to see if anyone had ever tried. So I googled it and found this little creation... It...

    This is absurd. Tell me what you think...

    This is from our local paper the other day, and I really don't know what to make of it. http://www.knoxnews.com/news/2010/nov/06/gun-rights-advocates-demand-citizenship-for/?partner=popular It's obviously a fake, and serves no purpose but to make fun of gun owners. I know the media is...

    I'm stuck on a scope magnification decision. Input, anyone?

    So awhile back I started a "this scope vs. that scope" thread and settled on a Nikon Monarch. The problem is that I'm not too sure which one I want between the 3-12x42 and the 4-16x42. I've always been an iron sight guy, or a really low magnification guy, now I'm wanting something with a bit...

    Optics hunt... Advice needed....

    I have a dilemma. I'm stuck between a few scopes. I'd like to hear from some of you guys who have some experience with these scopes. I had started out planning on getting a Vortex Viper 4-12x40 for $250. I still think I'd be quite happy with the Viper, but there are a couple of others I'm...

    Why is it so hard to find a good $200-$400 scope with a gloss finish?

    I just purchased a new CZ 550 American .308, and now I need some glass. Problem is, I don't want to put a matte scope on top of my glossy blued rifle. I'm normally very practical when it comes to "looks vs function" decisions, but I'm pretty much set on having this gun and scope match. So, do...

    How is Winchester/FN customer service?

    I'm still tossing around ideas on my new rifle purchase, but I'm really leaning towards the M70 (or maybe Cz550). I'm curious as to if anyone has dealt with Winchester CS since FN took over. If so, I like to hear your experience. A company that stands by their product will always have a...

    Price check: LNIB Stoeger American Eagle Luger

    Title says it all. What would a LNIB 9mm Stoeger American Eagle Luger be worth. I have a shot at one (at what I think is a good price), but I want to find out the actual value before I go for it. There's no real beneficial (to me) info on the value of these guns online. If what I'm seeing is...

    Let's talk about the new production Win. 70's, Ruger M77's and Rem. 700's...

    So, I'm somewhat out of the loop on new production bolt actions. When it comes to most guns, I know exactly what I want when I'm looking to buy. Unfortunately, for once in my life, I know what type of gun I want, but not the exact gun. I'm even in between on the caliber. I'ts between .308 and...

    Soot on the rim/extraction groove (.45acp)?

    So I just recently started loading for .45acp, and I've been looking for that perfect load for a 230 LRN (MBC). I've worked up to 5.5gr of HP-38 and I'm definitely getting the best accuracy out of this load, but I have a question about an interesting observation... I know that this load is...

    My age group...

    Lately, something has really been bugging me... All too often, I'll be at one of the ranges that I frequent and I'll encounter groups of guys around my age (20-30) who are almost unbearable to shoot around. Obviously, it's not everyone in my age group. There are a ton of great guys around my...

    Anybody have a copy of the SP101 IBOK they could send me?

    I have spent waaaaay too much time trying to find IOWEGAN's Book of Knowledge for the SP101 tonight. Does anybody have a copy the .pdf that they could email me? I've been fixing up my SP101 lately and I'm really mad at myself for not getting a copy when I could. I always just figured I'd do...

    Ok fellas, take a look at this and tell me if it's bad....

    I loaded up a batch of this exact same type yesterday and didn't encounter anything of this sort, so the problem (?) just occurred today. I noticed about halfway through a session that several of my newly loaded .38's looked like this... I've seen this before on factory rounds...

    Cleaning brass without a tumbler.

    So. I'm up and running finally. I shot my first reloads today, and I still have all my fingers. However, what I don't have is a tumbler. I think I'm getting one for Father's Day, so I'm holding off on buying one. So far, I have had good results with a little method I've been using. I read that...

    A scenario that has me thinking...

    Ok, to just to clarify from the get go, I know this will be vague. However, I don't think it really matters in this case. After all, I'm just asking for a little armchair speculation on a subject that has me thinking. I'm normally not too big on imaginary scenario threads, but this is something...

    Best powder for beginner reloading .38sp?

    Well, I have the press, the bench is built, I got some dies, but I've got no components. I was originally planning on starting with .45, but I ended up picking up some .38sp dies instead. I'm about to start buying components and I have a quick question... What's a good powder for light target...

    Could someone explain the to me the Kahr/Moonie issue?

    I did a search, but didn't get what I was looking for. Can someone just simply explain why a ton of folks feel disdain for Kahr Arms in relation to the "Moonies". I was talking about Kahr to a fellow at the range when he burst into this whole racist rant about his hate for Kahr Arms and the...

    Bullet question...

    So as I order components for my first ever batch of reloads, I have some questions. Is all lead created equal? When I see a load for a .38sp 158gr LSWC, I wonder if I'm missing something here. It just doesn't seem like this would be so simple that they were all created to the same specs. Am...

    Just picked up my first reloading steup... Tips?

    Well, I just made the jump today. The wife and I found a decent deal on the Lee Deluxe Turret Kit that I've been eying, and Father's Day came early. I've been shooting for years, but reloading is a new ballgame. We were at Bass Pro today and I was toting around about $60 worth of .303 Brit...

    M&P45c Owners: A question for you...

    I have had my 45c for a little over a year now, and I love the thing. However, it is just now finding it's way into my carry rotation. I've put a few boxes of various JHPs through it, but not enough of any one type to prove utter reliability. I'm a big fan of Gold Dot 230 grainers (I typically...

    What do you think the future holds for guns in America?

    So over the past few years we've had some interesting changes in gun laws and mentalities. I often hear people say that we are moving in the right direction, and we have certainly seen some victories in recently. OTOH, it's more common to hear of the inevitable bans and regulations (though, most...
