I’ve been trying to make up my mind on replacing the scope on one of my main hunting rifles. Up until this year the scope currently on this rifle has been 100% adequate for the never-more-than-75 to 100 yard shots where I typically hunt but it simply does not cut it now I’ve got access to a...

Here are a few questions for TFLers who have actually ordered a rifle from the CMP-Anniston, AL in the last 60-120 days. 1.How long did it take for the rifle to arrive from the time your ordered? 2.Was it a carbine or Garand and would that make a difference in turn-around time in your...

With ammo price increases over the last year or so I've seen many recommend replacing some of the certerfire inventory that has been historically popular at the range with a new or rediscovered rimfire. I know I've made that recommendation to several of my shooting friends in the last year or...

I have about 100 spent 20 ga shells I'd like to reload at some point but thanks to the fact they are covered with a mix of dust, dirt and various types of sunflower field trash they sure aren't ready for the press without some kind of cleaning. They're basically Win AA type hulls. How can I...

While digging through my box-o-gun-junk I happened to come across what I feel pretty sure is a magazine cap for a Remington 870 with the sling swivel stud already attached. Since I just acquired a 20 ga 870 and since it needed a sling I decided to see if the mag cap I found would fit. It did.:)...

Ladies and Gentlemen, I happened on a news item that may be of interest if you live in NC. There is an online petition you may want look at and participate in having to do with establishing a Castle Doctrine law/legislation in NC: http://www.petitiononline.com/law4nc/petition.html Please...

http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/afp/20040908/ts_alt_afp/us_vote_poll_bush_kerry_040908164913 :) Sorry to say but I just found this cutting edge report on Drudge and when all the undecided voters in the US hear this, Bush is sunk. No way he can be re-elected with so many intellectuals...

Well the AWB is going for now. Monday I dropped in a local shop that has a rep for being pricey and all their hi cap rifle mags were creaper than they were 2 weeks ago. I'd say by 20-30%. They had all their AR variants out and some had modest discounts as well. All-in-all I took this as a...

I should have bought a torque wrench years ago but they always seemed like a spendy tool and I needed the $$ for more important gun-related toys. I would be very interested in any suggestions you might have regarding a good quality torque wrench that can handle the kinds of issues that come up...

I was just listening to a discussion of RFID systems which is basically barcoding taken to two or three orders of magnitude more power. From the sound of it, this technology may make it cheaply possible to ID, trace and track individual items like specific firearms and rnds of ammo and who...

An interesting story from Drudge http://apnews.myway.com/article/20040520/D82M9B400.html I read this story this morning and thought some here might be interested as it is, IMHO, civil rights related but also WOT related. Mods As always, if this is not acceptable please clobber the thread...

Given the outcome of the election yesterday, what will this mean for the sunset of laws that control hi-cap mag? What about the importation controls on some items that are currently banned from the US. (like Norinco 45 ACP 1911 copies) Will either just "go away"? Take care S-

I have never fired a full auto firearm however I have a shooting pal that just began the process/paperwork for getting an automatic MAC and it's got me thinking. For those of you that have knowledege in this area what is a good starter gun. It will have to be a 9mm as I could never afford to...

I heard this weekend that the Administration will begin the process of vaccinating emergency workers for Small Pox and that a plan is being released today describing how everyone in the US will be innoculated within 5 days if a case of actual SP shows up. Supposedly the plan is 100 pages long...

Meat has a great idea for a poll on most overrated guns. How many of you have an "underdog" that "just don't get no respect? Why is this firearm underrated? S-

Meat has a great poll on over rated pistols which made me think many of us that have a beloved "underdog" auto or wheel gun that just "don't get no respect". What do you think?

First, to all that responded to my recent post on the 22/45 versus Buckmark thanks. After owning several MK IIs and not ever having felt I shot any of them well, low and behold I wound up walking out with a 22/45. Dang that Ruger Company. Went to the range today and gave her a whirl with a few...

After owning 4 (or is it 5) Rugers (MK IIs) over the years I decided I wanted to look at something a little different. What's your take on the Ruger 22/45. Also has anyone seem one of the Beretta Neos (U22) pistols yet. The arti in the American Rifleman made it sound like a pretty nice unit...
