What is a stock M1A going for these days? My platoon leader asked me yesterday, but I haven't priced one because I am an AR kind of guy. Thanks in advance.

He left Governor Rick Perry in charge. Of course this does mean that I'll have to wait until Sept. 1st to apply for my Texas CHL since I'm cheap. ;)

Okay folks, I'm picking up two Kimbers next month, a Desert Warrior and an Eclipse Custom II in 10mm. I've read both good and bad things about MIM parts on the forum, but so far, no one has listed which parts in these guns are MIM vs. real steel. Can someone tell me which Kimber parts are MIM...

I was thinking after reading a thread earlier about guns that have been stolen that maybe we should have a Be On the LookOut forum on the site. If people's guns are stolen, they can post the model and serial number so members can look up guns they want to buy through a private sale before...

Some background: I went to the gun show this weekend and they only had regular ball ammo from Winchester in 124 gr. that was marked 9mm NATO. Everything else was JHP or frangible. So is there any difference in pressure between 9mm NATO and 9mm Luger? You know, like the difference between...

Denny and Rich, thanks for the articles in this month's issue. I had been wanting a Kimber TLE/RL II for awhile, but after reading the article on the Kimber Warrior, I have decided to put that on my "to-buy" list instead. Same goes for the ACOG. I had wanted a TA31F, but now that I know that...

I recently cleaned my Mossberg 590A1. Now the shell follower is getting stuck about two rounds from the breech. Any suggestions? Anyone know how to take off the magazine tube and disassemble it?

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,156612,00.html First, they publish a story without corroboration, then they admit after 16 people have been killed that they were relying on a report that came from a detainee's mouth. The original source has now backtracked from his original statement. In...

Well, the urge has struck again. As some of you may know from other posts I have made, I recently bought four Sigs, the P226R, the P228, the P239, and the P245. Now I want a P220. Whatever shall I do? :D BTW, does anyone know if Sig made a P220 in 9mm with the American-style magazine...

I went to Colt's website to try and check out some 1911s, but www.colt.com now goes to a solely military/LE site with no pistols. Anybody know their new web address for civilian products?

This new range that I have been going to won't allow the use of FMJ ammo on the rifle range due to concerns over ricochets. They will allow ballistic tips, hollow points, and soft points. What is the cheapest, American-made, non-FMJ .223 round that is over 60 grains? I have a 1:7 twist so I...

Okay, I am sick of everyone posting about M16 ineffectiveness and soldiers using AKs instead of their issue weapons when this is all based on rumors and innuendo they have heard. So, to those who have fought in combat (Vietnam, Urgent Fury, Just Cause, Desert Storm, Enduring Freedom, Iraqi...

Has anyone purchased one of the Kimber Eclipse 10mm pistols yet? I would like a 10mm to round out my collection and was thinking of a Delta Elite, but I saw the article on the 10mm on Kimber's website and it got me thinking. The setup that I wanted for the Delta Elite was going to require a...

Fellow TFLers, I just wanted to thank you for providing me a place to discuss my favorite topic when I wasn't working here in Iraq. I have received a lot of moral support from many of you and I appreciate it deeply. I will be leaving Baghdad for Kuwait within the next two days, so I might not...

Does anyone have a Beretta Neos carbine conversion kit yet? If so, how does it shoot? Am I better off buying one of those for my Neos or a Ruger 10/22 rifle?

I want to buy something new when I get home in three and a half months (fingers crossed), but I want to try something different. I have two full size Berettas (a M9 and a 96G), a Beretta U22, and a HK USP45 Expert. I used to have a Glock 23, but I didn't like the way that the trigger guard...

I live in the Killeen area and I used to go to Minuteman Rifle Range (on Hwy 195) all the time. While I was home on leave, I went there and it looked closed. A friend confirmed that it hadn't been open in awhile. I have been to Yankee Gunsmith's range and didn't like the confined shooting...

I have a 590A1 with the factory installed ghost ring sights. Are there night sights available that won't require a lot of gunsmithing to install on this? I have seen a few night sights that are glued over the bead, but that won't help me out. Any advice would be appreciated.
