A buddy purchased a Colt/Umarex AR15 in .22 lr and it did not perform well at all and so he purchased the S&W version and it ran great, so I had to have one. I purchased it along with 600 rounds of Remington Shurshot 36 gr. high velocity ammo. I removed the aluminum "iron" sights and replaced...

I have asked this question at two different gun schools, to a few other instructors, and to at least a couple of dozen shooters of various backgrounds and pretty much never gotten the same answer twice. I am hoping somebody here might actually have the correct engineering background to answer...

Here is the background. A buddy of mine is looking into getting a good flashlight that will serve as a part time flashlight and part time night hunting light on his rifle. He likes my Olight Warrior M20 Premium (250 lumens, 1" body tube, various brightness settings) as it seems to fit the job...

For those who believe that concealed carry CAUSES a reduction in crime, here is some sobering information. Texas instituted its CHL program in 1996 and crime went down. In fact, crime had been dropping for several years preceding 1996 and so the fact that crime went down can't be attributed to...

In looking at a small sample of Colt AR15 rifles made in the last few years, a buddy of mine and I noticed that they all had M4 feed ramps. One was an M4, but the others were not. So my question is whether M4 feed ramps are a standard feature on Colt AR15 rifles or not? If I order a Colt...

Does anybody have manuals that show or state that the slide control is a slide STOP and not to be used as a slide RELEASE? I know that supposedly this is the case for Glocks, but I haven't seen it in a manual. I realize that some makers call the control a slide STOP regardless of how it is to...

So I am trying to find a Casepro 100 resizer and the Casepro people haven't answered their phone or emails since before Christmas. Now I found their number has been disconnected. Anybody know what happened to them? http://www.casepro100.com/index.html More importantly, anyone know where I...

Hello, Well, y'all asked me to note any glitches after being admitted to Law and Civil Rights. I am no longer able to post images and I no longer have mail privileges. In fact, I was going to do an note to TheBluesMan to let him know my problem, only I am now allowed ZERO messages in my mail...

I have noticed there comes a time for many that after seeing Playboypenguin's toys, folks have a need for their own particularly unique items. My time has arrived. Folks have complained forever about the tiny sights of the NAA Mini. I thought I would bypass the problem by getting mine with a...

And does anyone know if they are available anywhere online? I have tried Cabela's, Brownell's, Midway, and a couple of other big dealers, but no luck.

This is a repost and update from the other 1000 round match thread over on THR...http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=310567 Given that it was buried on page 5, I thought I would repost the upcoming match announcement here. No discussion is necessary as we are just announcing the...

I have read the threads about how gun folks assume anyone with a fanny pack is carrying a gun. I work in Fair Park, Dallas, which is where the Texas State Fair is hosted. I am sure some of y'all have gotten the update from the TSRA saying that the same policy is in effect that if you are...
