Got this from the NRA: On Friday, January 18 at 8:00 a.m. the Senate Courts of Justice Committee will hold a meeting on several bills of interest to Virginia gun owners, sportsmen and Second Amendment supporters. A majority of these bills are anti-gun, and pose a serious threat to your Right...

Got this from the NRA (I've also included a link at the end so you can find your representatives): Virginia: House Militia, Police and Public Safety Subcommittee #1 Will Hear Several Firearm Bills Tomorrow On Thursday, January 17 at 5:00 p.m. the House Militia, Police and Public Safety...

Got a new LCP for the wife (#375-series) and took it to the range today. Use Win white box 95-grain flat-nosed ammo. It ran fine and didn't recoil as harshly as we had expected. However, the brass ejects nearly straight up. I'm guessing 80-degree angle to the right and 80-degree angle to the...

This is my first time installing a flash hider, and I have run into some problems. I am installing an A2 hider with crush washer onto a Bushmaster 16" superlight barrel. I also have the aluminum vise blocks. I put a strip of rubber (piece of bicycle tire tube) over the barrel to protect from...

Does anyone know where I can get fully checkered holly 1911 grips? The only ones I have found are smooth grips. Thanks.

Can I retrofit a new-series Mini rear sight to my 196-series Mini-30 with the old-style flip up disc rear sight? The attachment screw seems to be in the same spot, but there's a pin on the new one, which makes me think a conversion will require a permanent alteration (and which I'd rather not...

My wife wants to check out some small pistols before we buy one. She's very small, and the Ruger LCP is the one she's most interested in right now. However, she's interesting in anything of a similar nature, even the smallest Glocks. Are there any places in the Atlanta area where we can rent...

Where do you guys get your replacement magazine springs for 20-round curved mags? I'm finding lots of 30-round springs, but 20-round springs are a bit scarce. Thanks.

Kudos to Wildalaska for the Colt Commander I just got from him. It's a sweet piece of stainless steel art. Took only 3 days to get and the best price around! Dry check looks great. Live-fire check this coming Saturday is mucho anticipated. Happy happy! P.S. Ken, you look good in green ...

How many people plan to donate at least $10 to a pro-gun rights organization or politician of their choice, now that Heller has been decided?

Recently in San Francisco, Obama said the following about small town Americans: “And it's not surprising then that they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their...

Here's the story: http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=080201141120.x8hzrof7&show_article=1 Sounds like a good idea, but I suspect the anti-gun crowd will panic at the thought. What do you want to bet that they'll oppose the bill by claiming the program would encourage children to use...

For a home-defense situation involving ranges from 3 feet to 50 yards, what does 68+ grain ammo from a 16" AR do that 55-68 grain doesn't? I'm curious because everything I've found for favoring heavier-grain ammo has to do with longer range shooting. Given my particular HD situation, there...

I'm installing a barrel to my upper, and I'm running into a problem. When I tighten the barrel nut, the wave washer and snap ring get out of alignment with the gas tube hole. By using a small piece of rod, I can wiggle the wash washer into alignment, but moving the snap ring is a no-go. I...

When the bolt carrier stops in its forward movement, what causes the bolt causes the bolt to cam forward and lock into the barrel extension? Is it just momentum? Thanks in advance.

I'm building an AR, and Kuleck and McKee recommend lubing the buffer spring in their book, The AR-15 Complete Assembly Guide. However, they are the only ones I know who recommend lubing the buffer spring. Also, I have never seen an AR from the factory that has had a lubed buffer spring. I'm...

Does anyone sell Bushmaster barrel assemblies other than Bushmaster? Most companies use distributors, so if you buy from the company the prices are usually higher than through the distributors so as to make it worthwhile for the distributors to sell the products. I haven't yet found anyone who...

Who makes a quality A2 upper with M4 feedramps? I'm planning to build a general purpose 16" carbine, and I see a lot of uppers out there, but the online descriptions usually don't help much. Thanks in advance.

I posted this question on another forum but received no answers. Basically, I'd like to get some opinons on the quality of the parts I'm thinking about using. I have two ARs and have decided it's time to build my own. What I plan to build is a general purpose 16" AR in 5.56 with good parts but...

Does anyone know of some outdoor rifle ranges in the Athens area? Thanks in advance.
