    Need help with holster, belt, etc.

    I'm getting into a Handgun Action League this year and need some suggestions on equipment. I will be shooting a 1911 and at times will reload 4 times. From the one time I shot last year I used my concealed carry holster and my normal work belt, which as you can guess didn't work very well. I...

    Question about threading a barrel.

    So I'm a month into waiting for my first suppressor and I got to talking to my local, (non NFA) dealer about threading a Ruger MKIII barrel. He said he had done a couple and then was told by somebody with a badge that he maybe shouldn't be doing that. He thought that by having the papers from...

    Going to an Auction With a Friend

    I was just wondering what strategy, if any, you employ when at an auction with a friend? Especially one who is interested in the same items as you. To compound the problem, the friend is not so finacially burdened as you. Do you take turns? Discuss the item you want the worst so he doesn't bid...

    Opinions needed on Sightron, Leupold or any other Scope

    I'm in the market for a scope for my HK91. Although I feel fairly confident in my pursuit of rifles and handguns, I have no clue about the quality and or craftmanship of scopes. Right now I'm looking at a Sightron SIII in 6x24x50. It has the mil-dot recticle and a 30mm tube. My factory HK claw...

    Pricing Help on an H&K 91

    I'm contemplating the purchase of a very nice condition H&K 91A2. It has a factory bipod that is near the mag well and swivels somewhat, the dealer said that it is like a G3 type bipod. Other than that, it is very good condition. As you can tell, I'm fairly clueless about this other than I like...

    S&W 1006 Ammo Choices

    I have been given a NIB S&W 1006 for services rendered in lieu of cash money. :D I haven't decided whether to shoot it...or trade it/sell it for something with a little pony on the side.

    Differences between a Trust and CLEO sign off?

    Hello, I'm getting closer to buying my first NFA, possibly a Mac in 9mm or maybe an UZI. My question is, the dealer here who I have been talking too, mentions both methods of a transfer. Getting the CLEO here to sign off on it...or going the Trust way. To me, it sounds easier to go the Trust...

    After a long dry spell in regards to buying long guns, I recently picked up a Winchester Model 97 Riot Shotgun, complete with US markings and flaming bombs by the way...woohoo! :) Anyways, I always get a little anxious when I remove the butt plate, thinking I might find something in the bored...

    Do You Worry About a Gun Ban?

    Every now and then I worry about some sort of gun ban, one that either attempts to take away everything I have or makes it illegal to sell or transfer them. Part of my fear is that I look at my guns as an investment, something to sell on down the road if I need to, or at least be able to...

    Suggestions on a Winchester 97 Riot. (again)

    Well here I am again. Some of you may remember my post awhile back on the Winchester 97 Riot I was considering. My dealer friend finally gave me a price and I bought it, or I guess I should say, put it on a payment plan. I should have it by the end of next month. I've been able to figure out...

    Colt 1909 and/or 1917 questions.

    I profess to knowing very little about Colt revolvers but, since I haven't seen any good 1911 stuff lately I've managed to confuse myself even further by looking at some older revolvers here. The latest is a very nice Colt 1909. From what I can figure out, other than a few cosmetic differences...
