Hey folks, I'm going to be moving to Georgia, near Kennesaw / Marietta. Are there any outdoor rifle ranges? The only thing I've found is "The Governer's" - something or other. A massive indoor range that will cost around $20 for an hour for pistol or 100 yard rifle. Unless I find something...

I know Aero precision makes a carbine length buffer tube kit (receiver extension, buffer weight, buffer spring... hopefully a castle nut) for their M5 / 308. But is there any advantage to getting a rifle length buffer tube kit rather than an adjustable carbine length buffer tube / spring...

I've got a Fulton Armory / Criterion Barrel in .308 on its way. It needs a 0.936" gas block, and I'm looking for a no-tool adjustable gas block, where I can adjust or switch it without reaching for the Allen key. Does anyone know of any?

Now that hunting season is over, I might get into a straight walled AR cartridge to hunt in Ohio with, as the prices for parts would be lower. When I look these two calibers up, I get posts from a couple years ago saying that projectile availability and brass availability are poor for both, but...

Hey all, wondering if this is normal function. On my 1858 Pietta, when I go to load/reload it, I put it in half-cock. If I spin the cylinder to the next point when the cylinder stop engages, it is actually too far and the built in ram rod can't press into the charging hole because it's...

10+ years ago, I remember being at someone's unattached garage where they were talking about their trusty gun safe. If i remember correctly, they said that before they had an alarm system installed, someone had broken in and tried to open it with a cutting torch and gave up and left. The owner...

Hey all, I recently purchased some used Hornady die sets, before the Zip Pinole design. The center rod of the decapping die seems to be press for into a threaded sleeve, and the expander button it screwed onto the end on the other side. Do I just screw the threaded rod/decapping pin down as...

I have a project pistol I never liked the grip of. It's a Polymer 80 Glock lower. The front strap of the grip is dead flat. As in 90 degrees to the side panels of the grip, not oval. This makes for a very restrictive grip where your hand needs to rotated on the grip to a very specific...

A few months ago, I shot my 1858 Uberti and thought I would be a smarty pants by not taking off the grips when I cleaned it. I'll just be "really careful" not get the grips wet because I'd be holding onto the grips when i clean. Makes perfect sense, see? :rolleyes: So it didn't work that way...

I'm not trying to apply this to myself, mind you. I'm curious as to how far a person who shoots a lot but thoughtlessly, can go. I'm sure you've met people who never read a single article, never received instruction, etc. But loved shooting so much they did it a lot. How well did they...

Just a little concern about the future of this forum. Longevity. If I understand it, the forum is supported by SWAT magazine. My impression is that printed magazines, newspapers, anything not digital has taken a hit over the last decade with the rise of smart phones, tablets, and apps. The...

If you had to choose between purchasing a used set of 340 Weatherby Magnum dies, would you choose between: Used Lyman dies (no picture), or used Hornady New Dimension dies (a little rusty)? The Hornady seems recent, picture shows the current red box with shiny plastic label. Floating...

Some folks advocate switching hands with pistol when "pieing" off a corner or doorway to your left. For the longest time, I'd resisted practicing switching to a left hand dominant 2 handed grip. I thought: it's another chance to drop a firearm, and much faster to just keep my right handed...

I saw a post in the revolver question about the unnecessary empty case space in 38 special. That prompts me to ask the question: Have there been any modern revolvers in calibers less than 38 where they have trimmed down the cylinder for efficiency? For example, Ruger has the LCR in 9mm I...

Hey there, It may just be me, but it seems like people avoid mentioning other forums by name, or mentioning online stores. Like the "big river" online store rather than saying the word that rhymes with... Bamazon. Is there an unspoken rule that I'm unaware of? Considered polite or...

Hey all, I'm wondering if Quickload or something like it can help me fill in pressure data given the other parameters. For example, I've been using a likely Spanish shotgun powder (ETR7) for pistol. If I give it bullet weight, chrono readings, reloading parameters like OAL and charge weight...

Update: supposedly parts support will continue and subcompact parts sales will be through calling Sig, perhaps not on the mainstream market anymore If you found out a modern carry pistol that is on its way to you has just been discontinued, what would you do? I ordered a Sub-Compact Caliber...

What's the lowest profile / slimmest picatinny rail cover you have used? I'm trying to keep the handguard of an AR as slim as possible.

**edit** In case my scientific terminology is off, by BBQ gun, I mean a flamboyant showpiece only worn on special occasions A friend of mine got himself a BBQ gun - a polished stainless commemorative Colt Commander with gold accents (gold plated mainspring housing, gold plated thumb safety and...

I found out that the World's Finest Trimmer was not a 3 way trimmer, and was a little disappointed. But I also found out that the Giraud Tri Way trimmer was only $110 or so. Here I thought it would be several hundred, as people seem to really like them but lament the cost. A World's...
