Totals for National Ammo Day are pitiful--fewer than 1,000 people have reported buying ammo. It's days like this that make me want to save time and mental anguish by just turning in my guns now. The level of apathy among gun owners is truly incredible. We're talking about a trip to the local...

Happened this morning with the Winchester USA 100 round bulk packed 9mm ammo from WalMart. Out of 50 rounds, two empty cases were left in the chamber and the gun jammed trying to feed a fresh round. In both cases, after the jam was cleared, I dropped the slide, the extractor picked up the case...

Decent twists and turns but doesn't ever leave you feeling lost or confused. Believable, likable characters and good plot. Moves right along with no noticeable slow spots. Excellent SANE child/gun safety spot worked smoothly into the middle of the movie. No obvious gun mistakes (I didn't see...

I was reading another thread and this came to mind--thought all TFLers should think about it. It is to be hoped that all of us protect our eyes while shooting--but don't forget that shooters do other things that can be hazardous to visual health. I'm talking about cleaning guns. There have...

I've got a KVAR mount for my VEPR II rifle. Problem is, the front scope bell won't quite clear the rear sight on the rifle. I could buy a different scope or different rings--I figure the rings will be cheaper. BUT... I have no idea whether the rings I have are Low, Medium or High rings...

I haven't found a factory load that will group a cylinder full of rounds under 5" at 50 yards with my Super Redhawk. That's using a rest. There are no obvious problems that I can see with the gun... 1. Am I expecting too much? 2. Am I not trying the right load? Suggestions welcome. 3. Will...

I've got some rimfire shooting to do this weekend so I dug my 5" bull barrel, blued 22/45 out of the safe. It was slightly grungy from the last time I shot it so I did a quick cleaning job. The bore in this pistol is VERY smooth and after only a couple of patches and a pass or two with the...

If you haven't seen "Signs" don't bother... It's not TOO bad while you're actually watching it, but if you think about it at all afterwards, it gets more and more stupid. If you want more info, I'll put it in the next post on this thread. WARNING! The next post on this thread...

Also equipped with a nice looking (walnut?) stock with sling swivels and no front barrel band. Very nice looking gun for $214. I had the chance to get one for $160 but I was too honest to take advantage of their pricing error. Dopey me!!! :( Problems. 1. The metal parts look much...

Besides the grip frame and the frame extension, what are the differences between the Redhawk and the Super Redhawk? Any differences in strength or frame size (other than as mentioned above)? What about cylinder length, accuracy, etc.? I posted awhile back about modifying a Super, but I'm...

I like my Super RedHawk in .44 Mag, but I think it looks like someone put a rifle barrel on it by mistake... I've been tossing around the idea of having a custom barrel made for it that would blend the contour of the frame extension into a full underlug barrel. In otherwords turn it into a...

I'm looking at putting a peep sight on my 10/22. I've had good luck with Williams Foolproof apertures in the past, but don't know how they will work/fit on a 10/22. Does anyone have any experience with these or other peep sights that they would recommend for this rifle? Thanks, John

I recently bought a stainless steel/synthetic T/C Encore rifle with a 26" heavy .223 barrel. I mounted a 3x9x42 scope which seems to work quite well although the gun is probably a bit underscoped. This is a neat little gun. Trigger is just over 3 lbs and is nice and crisp. There's an...

Hey guys, I just bought a Thompson Encore with a heavy .223 bbl. and would like to try it @ 300yds. Does anyone know what the minimum spotting scope quality and power I'll need to see .223" holes at that distance? Any input is appreciated! John

I see a lot of women walking alone (unaccompanied by another person.) but with dogs for security. This practice distresses me since the dog is invariably very large. All the better for her security, I guess, but she would be completely unable to control it if it decided to take off or attack...

Just a quick rant. The typical question posted is: "I want to buy a pistol in caliber X that has feature Y." More than half of the responses are: Buy a pistol in caliber Z. You'll like it. Never mind feature Y. OR Buy a pistol in calber Z. It has feature Y. The rest actually answer...
