    Is "VihtaVuori" worth the money?

    It looks like its got energy but it also costs a lot more than other powders. I don't think I've seen much reference to this powder on TFL. Does anyone use it? I am thinking about getting the N340 for 9mm and 45acp but I'd like to hear some feedback on it if anyone uses it.

    Anti-Depressants,Ritalin, and the Draft

    I've been thinking about all this a lot lately...........If America had to enact the draft in this country, I seriously doubt more than 20% of My friends age 23-27 could go. I have become severely disturbed by the number of people I know (draft age) that are on anti-depressants. That...

    Does anyone have any FAL recipes?

    Would you accept a New World Order if it adopted our Constitution?

    If the UN passed a Constitution identical to our own... would you accept it? Why couldn't a world government work? If we think of the USA as a State compared to the rest of the world, just like Pennsylvania, is a state within the USA, why wouldn't it work? I realize China and Russia probable...

    Whatever happened to the F111 fighter bomber?

    I remember we used these when we bombed Libya in '86. Do we still use these things? I don't remember seeing them used in the Persian Gulf War or in Afganistan. Seems like thise Fighter/Bomber must be a relic or something. What happened to it?

    Are all Match HP rounds not for hunting?

    I know the Federal Gold Match 168gr don't act like Hollow Points, and they are only HP because of the way they are made. I just picked up a box of Sierra 175gr HPBT Match bullets for some accuracy tests, but I wasn't sure if its the same deal. I'd like to use these for precision shooting and...

    Two questions for S.W.A.T. Magazine (one Ruger and one G36)

    Is there anyway you can use the power of S.W.A.T. Magazine to get a response from Sturm/Ruger on why they agreed to the 94 ban but won't make a 10rd mag for the Mini 14? It's a hot topic and a lot of us would like to get an answer from Bill Ruger Jr. Also, someone here made reference to the...

    I think every Forum on TFL now has references to the SHTF

    So now I have to ask a question............. Do you think America is a socially stable country? 100yrs ago people rang the church bell to call the people for an emergency. People ran into town to find out where the fire was or who needed to be helped. People lined up passing buckets of water...

    Something we rarely touch on when debating the .223vs.308 effectiveness

    How much recoil I rifleman can take before he loses his ability to shoot straight. I remember when I looked at 3 empty boxes of 30/06 and couldn't believe I made it that far. 60rds of 180gr threw a Model 70 was about all I could take before I started to twitch and yank when I pulled the trigger...

    "Carbine Manipulation Tips" aren't they a hazard?

    According to the author "not" but The picture on page 6 is something I always thought was something to "not" do. It says "He is pulling his SIG551 back into his shoulder with both hands." The mag well on an AR is longer and in all of the AR pictures in the article, the support hand is never more...

    Is "Soldier of Fortune" magazine any good?

    I'm kinda strapped for money right now, but I am kinda interested in hearing first hand accounts of what's going on right now, on the battlefield. Does this magazine get into guys complaining about "equipment" or "crappy weapons?" Or is it another gun rag with war stories?

    Does your local gun shop shoot itself in the foot?

    I go to My local gun shop for gun smithing or gun cleaning stuff. I NEVER buy ammo or reloading components because it's a rip-off. The owner of the gun shop was going off the other day about how gun shows are doing in the local shops. Of all the gun shops in My area, I don't think any of them...

My Cat started doing the old weerroooowwww weerooooow and then out of know where a fox darted out of My garden and about 15yds in front of me. I thought it was My cat, at...

    How much do "REAL" FNFAL rifles go for?

    I saw one on Gunbroker for under $3000. Is that normal? That's about half of what I would think they cost. I thought the AC556 was one of the only $3000 and under F/A's around?

    I just got in a conversation with My Dad about the status of the Democratic party and how its so left. He said "most of the liberal issues are gone" and "most of the Democrats left are moderates." And Soda says "But Dad, Ed Rendell is a flamming liberal." "He's another one of those NEW GUN...
