    Where are women's shooting classes in Ohio?

    I would like to find a place for my special lady friend to take a shooting class that has a female instructor. I know they are out there but I don't know where. Pistol or carbine or both.

    Bathroom guns

    In the conversations we have here, some claim to carry 24/7. There are others who keep one or more guns in their home for defensive purposes. I just recalled reading an article where the author claimed to keep four Charter Arms Bulldog .44 specials hidden around the house, including one in...

    Want a wood birds head grip for 590.

    Before any one asks "why" the answer is "because that's what I want" Before anyone mentions law, the gun in question is registered with the ATF as a short barreled shotgun. So, I have a 14" 590 that I want to put wood furniture on with a birds head grip for a "classic sawed off" look...

    Disarming the elderly

    A good friend of mine lives with and cares for his grandmother. Her issues are numerous and she spends most of her time watching western movies on TV and waiting for her next meal. Some months ago my friend brought his grandmother's .22 pistol and rifle to me asking that I keep them in my...

    Cooling off a can

    I have gone to the local indoor range a few times lately. At the end of my shooting session I have a dirty SCAR and a suppressor that will melt anything it touches. So I am stuck standing around waiting for my silencer to cool off enough that I can put it in my gun case. Waiting in a room...

    stupid m1a stock question

    What is the use of this? It seems to be a (dare I say it?) shoulder thing... that goes up. No really, what is it for?

    Glocks malfunctioning with flashlights

    I have seen people refer to particular Glocks (.40) malfunctioning when equipped with a flashlight. Is this a generation related problem? Spring problem? Unknown cause or cure? Internet hyped BS? Real issue?

    HD rifles

    I know I know I know people will be tripping over themselves to nay say the use of a rife as a HD weapon. To them I say, duly noted. When I was young my father kept a 03-A3 loaded with JHP hadloads for his house gun. He explained to me once that the rifle could be used as a very effective...

    Planting flowers with a shotgun

    http://www.flowershell.com/ An interesting idea to say the least. Reduced power shells filled with flower seeds rather than bird shot. I was going to buy some for my Aunt to use around her cabin till I saw the price tag.

    suppressing a .410

    I was given an old H&R .410. I don't have much use for it but I started toying with the idea of porting the barrel and making a suppressor that would go over the barrel, kinda like a MP5SD. Have any of you ever done such a thing?

    Browning Light-12 for a slug gun?

    I have a Light-12 with a 28" barrel. It was made in '53 and as far as I can tell it is in pretty good shape mechanically. Only thing wrong is the wood. Forend has a crack that goes about half way up it and the stock has some black spots like it was set to close to a fire. (It was like that...

    Ultrasonic cleaners, anyone use them?

    The name says it all. I am thinking about buying a small parts cleaner for rifle bolts/carriers, pistol barrels, suppressor baffles. I am in the position of not knowing enough to know what I don't know. Ultrasonics are supposed to get things cleaner faster, or so I have been told. Are they...

    What's the difference between M1A and BM-69

    I didn't want to hijack the "holy grail gun" thread with this question. I walked away from a BM69 at a gunshow last year. Partly because I was looking for a FN FAL and partly because there weren't enough dollars in my wallet for the BM. The seller swore up and down that it was the greatest...

    Ohio Dangerous Ordnance licence (31 round law)

    http://codes.ohio.gov/orc/2923.18 Has anyone applied for this licence to posses dangerous ordnance? A centerfire firearm with a capacity of more than 31 rounds is considered dangerous ordinance. Is there a form that the sheriff would have for this?

    Thinking about a cartridge conversion repro

    Ok, I will admit it, this all started with watching to much television. I was reminded how much I like the look of those old open top Colts. One thing led to another and I found myself looking at this particular Cimarron model Are these guns well made? Will they hold up to being shot...

    Cleaning a precision rifle barrel

    I bought a nice used Remington 700 D.D. Ross rifle. When I arrived home after shooting it for the first time I couldn't believe all the copper fouling in it. It took several careful hours to get it all out. I told the previous owner I couldn't believe how fowled he let that rifle get he...

    Money pit rifles

    A good friend and I were out shooting last weekend. We both had our Noveske AR15s out. Mine has a EOtech on a Dominator II mount, Troy Ind. rail, and vertical grip... His is a 10" SBR with a AAC M42K. It also wears a Daniel Defense rail with some kind of Surefire flashlight and a AFG. An...

    M48 Mauser doesn't like JSP ammo

    I have a very nice M48. The problem with it is that it doesn't feed jacketed soft point ammo very well. (works great with FMJs) When feeding from the left side of the magazine the exposed lead point of the bullet will catch on the edge of the chamber and get hung up. I can push hard on the...

    Garand bolt dragging.

    The bolt in my Garand hangs up on the hammer when the rifle is fully assembled. If I swing the trigger guard down but leave the trigger in place the bolt moves freely. If I swing the trigger guard up close to where it will latch the action gets so tight the bolt won't move. What do I need to...

    FN SCAR with Mini4 first impressions.

    (those are tactical Birkenstocks) I decided on the Mini4 over the M42K based on weight and length. I was wanting to keep the center of gravity close to the mag well. I didn't want the overall length of the rifle/can to be longer than my 20" A2 AR-15. Also by the db ratings at the shooter's...
