    Thinking of selling my FAL...advice?

    First off, DO NOT tell me not to sell, that is my decision. Now that that's behind us, here's the deal. It is an STG-58, with a SUIT and bipod. All has been refinished by Mac's, with metal in black and furniture in Forest Green. Looks great. Problem: in my limited attempts at shooting it...

    Just picked up a Sig 220, how'd I do?

    A friend/gunsmith had a 220 .45 acp just in from a factory rebuild (looks like a new frame). The finish on the slide and barrel is pretty worn, but the barrel interior looks fine and the gun so far seems to work fine. Gun came with an extra mag. I paid him $330 even. How'd I do?

    Sights for lever action?

    A friend is looking at getting a dark timber gun for elk and asked me about sights. I saw some at Wild West but I wanted to give him some more options. I told him a ghost or somewhat larger aperture would be best (shots should not be over 100 yards ever). Prices should be less than $100 if...

    FAR-15 experiences?

    I'm really getting an itch for a super light AR and the Oly FAR-15 is really looking good. does anyone have any experiences with them?

    My Father's Rifle.

    Those who know me know that I could care less about nostalgia. I want something that works perfectly for its intended purpose, looks or "feelings" be damned. That changed last week. Back in June, I put an order into the CMP for a Danish Garand. I didn't have some weird fascination about them...

    Help! I screwed up! Need help ASAP!

    I'm out with the wife visiting the local library. Like the TFL addict that I am, I logged on from here. Now the TFL website is logging me on here automatically, and I can't delete the cookies on this computer. I don't want to walk away from here because TFL is in the drop down menu. All...

    LBV thread offshoot.

    Ok, after reading the LBV thread, I have a question. If one were to go to an Urban Rifle class at Thunder Ranch, would an LBV be appropriate, or would somthing else be better? Thanks!

    Home defense wake-up call

    The wife and I had a wake-up call recently. Not a big one, no drama, but we learned a few things. I went to bed about an hour after my wife did, at roughly 11pm. Sometime in the night, I hear the house alarm giving its "warning" beeps and I wake up and settle it down with my remote, wary of...
