Normally, I don't stray into this section of TFL, but just to satisfy personal curiosity, I thought I would ask if anyone has documented, available information of court cases won or lost because of some gun owners firearm type or ammunition selection. I keep hearing "don't use reloads, dont use...

Couple of other threads got me to thinking about this. Since, by treaty, our military is prohibited from using hollowpoint ammo, seems like a non-jacketed, flat point bullet would be the next best thing in handguns. Should even be cheaper to mass produce. Any reasons why not?

So, I have a friend that wants to go deer hunting with me. Cool. I haven't hunted in a few years, and I'm ready to hit the woods again. Problem is, I sold my Tikka a year or so back because I hadn't been hunting, leaving my long gun options 12ga or .223. Great excuse to buy a rifle, but with...

I have an opportunity to pick up a Vanguard in .300 weatherby mag for a great price. Wondering if anyone could fill me on on the ups and downs of this rifle and cartridge.

Anyone have one of these yet. I'm thinking about picking one up for the missus soon, but would like to hear from someone that has one.

I'm thinking I need a big bore rifle, maybe a .45/70, .450 Marlin, .444, something along that line. I'm not overly concerned about the price of the rifle, but I am the ammo. My recent price check on .45/70 ammo was a shock, and I was wondering if there is something that is ballisticly close...

I have a H&R single shot .410 that I bought when I was a kid, and I hardly ever pull it out of the safe anymore. However, I started seeing all these advertisements for the taurus judge, thunder 5, and some of ther other .410/.45 colt pistols, and it got me to wondering if I could use .45 colt...

I have read that HK "variants" are capable of being swapped out easily. Mine is a variant 3 ( right hand version, decocker only). I would like to switch mine to Var. 1, so that the manual of arms is closer to that of my 1911 and witness pistols. Where can one find the parts to facilitate...

Mostly wondering if anyone has experience with these. I started seeing them pretty recently, but the low price kinda kept me away. Anyway, to make a long story short, I was in the gunshop, and they had one for my USP .45 at a price I couldn't turn down. So far, its still a little too stiff...

I hope this is in the right place. I bought a new shooting jacket, and I want some iron on/ sew on patches to put on it. I want patches that represents the brands that I shoot regularly...glock, HK, sig, RRA, etc... I've found random patches online here and there, but to buy each one...

I want a new 10/22, but I want to put my own barrel and stock on it. Is there anywhere to get just the 10/22 action without having to pay extra for the barrel and stock that I'm going to take off immediatly?

My girlfriend has decided that she wants to take the class and start carrying a concealed pistol, and I think thats wonderful. However, she is hung up on the walther p22 because "its cute" and because its a .22 that dosen't offer much recoil. I've tried to talk her into a larger caliber, not...

Me and my girlfriend went on vacation last week. On the way out the door, I remembered that I had a spare box of 9mm HST's in the console of my truck, so before putting my luggage in my g/f's car, I stopped by the truck, took a couple of empty glock magazines, and filled them up. My G19 was in...

My girlfriend is looking at getting a pistol to carry, and both models she likes has interchageable backstraps. I like the idea, but how do they handle after thousands of rounds downrange. I'm worried that they will loosen up and be annoying...is my fear unreasonable?

I've read quite a few threads lately about using pistols to kill snakes. I grew up, and still live in a very wooded area with many snakes, and I have encountered rattlers, copperheads, and many non-poisonous snakes in the woods, and never felt that using a gun was the best option. Usually...

OK, I've been a gun collector for a while, but not till recently did I decide I wanted a suppressor. What guns work well with suppressors, and what caliber should I think about? I'm torn about what I want. Suppressed .22s are really quiet, 9mm's are OK but, but finding subsonic ammo isn't...

There have been several gun buy-back programs in my area recently, and they all irritate me to no end. The local P.D. spent God knows how much on advertising one recently, offering $50 for working handguns, and $100 for working "assault rifles". This did get my capitalistic mind to working...

I'm building my newest AR, a 16" mid length flat-top. I've always been a fan of iron sights, but I've been wanting to mount an EoTech on something, so I decided to build a new AR to put it on. The upper I'm getting (Del-Ton) comes with a flip up YHM front sight, and I intend on putting a GG&G...

I'm building my second AR. My first was a 20" standard A2, but I decided I wanted a little brother for him, so I am building a mid-length 16" carbine. On my 20" rifle, I replaced the origional buffer and spring with a "pneumatic buffer" from olympic arms. As much as I love it, they don't...

I built a 20" A2 rifle a few years ago and its perfect. I'm wanting to build a 16" mid length flattop, but apparently Rock River Arms is months behind and finding one of their lowers has been a pain. Any suggestion on another good lower?
