So I have wanted one of these for a long time to go with my other short barreled shotguns. The Shockwave however doesn't require a $200 tax stamp. I picked it up for $500. The first trip to the range with it was a little underwhelming. Actually aiming the thing seems sketchy. I was...

I recently bought 2 more suppressors. They arrived at my dealer's shop 2 weeks ago. They have a Silencer Shop kiosk in the store. He tried to log onto the silencer shop page to certify my form 4's with ATF and all we got was a loading screen. I've been back 4 times in the last 2 weeks...

I am planning on getting another barrel for my TC Encore next year. I am torn between 45/70 and .444. The best (hottest) loads for 45/70 are just knocking on the door of what .444 does. The .444 gets 200 or so FPS higher velocities for similar bullets. But the thing is .444 ammo is...

I want to get a .44 mag barrel for my Encore rifle with a suppressor. an integral would be really cool. I do not want a ported barrel because I want to fire full velocity rounds for hunting. (If you are going to say something about the super sonic crack, stop now. I KNOW!) Match Grade...

I am in the market for a new spotting scope. I need something that I can see .22 cal holes at 300 yards. My current scope is not very good. It's 20-60 power but will not focus much past 100 yards making spotting shots at much more than close range shooting impossible. I am currently...

I picked up a case of this stuff recently simply because it was less than a dollar a shell. I put 50 shells through my new Benelli M1014. Went home to clean it and had never in my life see such fowling in the barrel. Thick black crud. I ran wet patches and it barely touched it. Patches...

I have a PTR 9CT (It's a SBR but it started life as a pistol) It shoots great. Very fun, accurate, low recoil. But the thing is I love to shoot suppressed and most 147 grain sub sonic ammo has a flat nose bullet profile. When shooting these types of bullets I get a failure to feed on the...

I have a few thousand rounds of M855 that I bought back during the "Trump slump." But I have been wondering if it is worth buying any more. These days M855 is more expensive than M193. M193 typically has better fragmentation performance. From what I've seen, M855 won't penetrate a level 3...

I went into Dick's with a friend so he could get a new rifle case. I saw they had a Benelli on the shelf. Talked to the gun counter guy. He said they had it for over a year and it just wasn't selling so they had marked it down to get rid of it. $1800 + tax. Mind you this is the neutered...

I am selling a silencer that is registered to my trust. How should I fill out the form 4? I don't want to make a mistake and get the form sent back making the transfer take longer than it already does.

I take a first aid class every year for work. It's basically a CPR class. Most of the day is focused on chest compressions, rescue breaths, and how to use a AED. At the end of the class we practice wrapping gauze pads on a partner to simulate covering a cut. I would like to find a class...

This is more about factory ammo but primers specifically so I put it here. Years ago Winchester was selling "super unleaded" ammo. It boasted lead free primers and fully encapsulated bullets. Many people on forums claimed that the ammo would only have a 5 year shelf life because of the...

My line of work takes me to many different facilities through the year. Most of our customers have strict no firearms on premises rules. Getting caught violating these rules will usually result in a lifetime ban from said property. In some cases, depending on the customer, it could result...

I bought a used 686. The cylinder locks up nice and tight when closed. No front to back movement. No side to side rotation when the hammer is cocked. But the problem comes when swinging the cylinder out. I push the button all the way forward and I have to push hard on the cylinder to make...

Hi, I have a BCM stainless 18" 1/8 twist rifle gas upper on a Colt HBAR II lower with a Geiselle trigger. I am trying to get as much accuracy out of it as I can. When I put the rifle together the only BCG I had on hand was a Fail Zero. It shoots 1 MOA to 1.5 MOA at 200 yards with 77 grain...

I just picked up a 4" 686. The previous owner had used it to exclusively shoot .38 specials. there are heavy rings of fowling in the chambers. What's the consensus on the best way to get rid of it. I have brushed the chambers by hand with a 357 brush. It knocked some of the crud out but...

I have a Browning A5 Light 12. The wood is in bad shape. There's a long crack in the forend and a burn on the stock from where it was left too close to a campfire by the previous owner. I found the gun to be a jam-o-mattic with normal 2 3/4 shells. However it runs 100% with Remington...

About 10 years ago I stocked up on Winchester Ranger 5.56 with the Nosler bonded solid base 64 grain bullet. I wanted something that would expand but would also deal with barriers like indoor walls, doors, and the like. More recently I became interested in the Mod 262 mk 1 round. The 77...

I have been after one of these for some years. An AKM. Specificly an Arsenal SLR-7. This one just happens to have been worked over by Krebs Custom. It has an Ultimak rail gas tube and a Primary Arms red dot. $2500. I feel I did pretty good because stock SLR rifles are going for that let...

I have owned many .40's in my life. I used to use them to make Major in USPSA. Most of my .40s were polymer striker fired wonderguns. Some ammo makers produce .40 ammo in 135 grain or 155 grain loadings that rival .357 magnum for muzzle energy. And we all know if there is that much...
