Looking for a economical Holographic Sight. Maximum price is around $450-475. Realistically speaking, a reliable, durable sight that will be used almost exclusively for range shooting and close range hunting, what would be the best buy in that price range.

Just picked up a Mosin Nagant, 80 rounds of surplus, the "kit" and a bayonet for $112 OTD. The bad thins is that the gun came with about 13 and a half pounds of Cosmoline as well. Has anyone tried the dishwasher method for removing this stuff? What would you recommend for cleaning the cosmoline...

I guess you could call it "building". I pretty much just put the parts in the lower and then attached the pre-built upper. It was actually exceptionally easy. Far easier than working on a 1911. I'm pretty satisfied with my $600.00 rifle, although it's apparent that it's a 600 dollar AR, and not...

I have a Doublestar lower that will soon be mated to an M&A Parts upper kit, but for now I have been shopping for magazines and sights. Obvious choice for a magazine was a Magpul PMag, however my PMag does not seem to function correctly with the Lower. It must be forced in and out of the...

A friend has a Remington 798 .270Win. w/scope. It has had less than a box of ammo through it. He wants to trade even to my XD40 Bi-Tone. This is one of the first run XD's and has had thousands of rounds put through it, and has always been reliable. Worth the trade from a monetary standpoint?

Just had an LEO attempt to convince myself and a friend that by getting your C&R license, that it would then be completely legal to purchase modern fully automatic weapons, namely the Glock 18C, which IIRC, isn't even legal to have in the country unless your a specially commissioned LEO...

I've been bitten by the infamous EBR bug. Was playing at my local gun shop and fondled a S&W M&P 15T rifle. I also fondled a Ruger SR556. My initial observations They are very, very similar, with Troy Industries littered everywhere, and the one major difference is the SR556 has the gas piston...

I have been checking out J-frames lately, looking for a good pocket carry. A member of this site mentioned how he didn't care for the trigger pull, and when I started actually checking out the triggers on NEW J-frames, I had to agree. They feel rough. Notchy, and a pretty tough pull. Anyway to...

Pics have been a while coming, and these suck, but here are some shots.

A coworker's son was shot a few days ago at a Gasoline Station. A couple of "thugs" walked up and bothered him and his wife for money, which they didn't have, frustrated one of them shot at his chest, but hit him in the left arm twice. At first they thought he was going to lose his arm, but...

I am debating purchasing a 642 or a 442, any pros or cons to either finish? I can get the 442 without the lock (which I prefer). I shot a Chief's Special (637) version of the gun yesterday, and was amazed at how low recoil actually was, I expected much more. (I also saw a guy crack himself in...

So, perusing the local pawn shops I stumble across an older, well worn SIGSauer P226, two tone. I asked a buddy of mine, David the Gnome, about it and he urged me to buy it. His words were "if you don't, tell me where it is, so I can" With that advice, or threat, as it were, I went back and...

I just installed a Wilson Combat Competition Match Trigger in my Rock Island Armory 1911. I have complaints. It looks like crap for one, protrudes much farther out into the trigger guard, so far that the pinning holes are visible where the trigger is pinned to the bow, and the fit is horrible...

Delete please, double post and in the wrong section. Thanks

Looking at each in .45 Colt. Want the most authentic (looking) piece I can get, however, I want the gun to be able to handle the hottest .45 Colt loads out there (Buffalo Bore?) Which of the three would you folks recommend? Thanks!

So, my Brother is looking at pistols to purchase. He has been looking pretty closely at the AR 24 series pistols. Does anyone have any first hand input on them? Looking for educated input with real experiences and good reasoning for positive or negative opinions. Thanks!

My Father handed down his Mk 2 (he also bought a new 10/22 for me) for Christmas this year. It was totally unexpected, but he knew that I had been wanting one and planning on purchasing one early next year, he decided that he didn't use it enough to matter, so he gave it to me. The pistol is in...

New Ruger 10/22 Stainless/Synthetic, and my Father handed down his Mk 2 pistol. Anyone suggest any upgrades? I don't want to go wild with this rifle, was thinking some fiber sights and maybe the Hogue Overmolded Stock?

Are .38Special +P's more powerful/less safe to shoot than a .357 Magnum? I've seen a few .357Magnum owners asking about the reliability of shooting the +P .38 loads, and was curious. I would think the .357 would be more powerful, but I'm not very fluent in revolver chamberings.

I had said in a different thread that I would either have pics, or a sad story. Well, after some financial finagling, I have pics! 686-4 6" This is my first revolver, any comments? Suggestions? Upgrades? I gave $480.00 for her. Sorry about the crappy pics, I'm no photographer.
