    Vang Comp vs. Scattergun Technologies

    These two firms seem to both produce excellent Rem 870's for police tactical and home defense use. Any opinions on the best company? Anyone have experience with both so they can contrast the differences?

    Eagle International Magazines

    I've got some mini-14 and 10/22 hi-cap mag's made by a company called 'Eagle International'. I'll be taking the mini-14 mag's to a gun show for trade this weekend (don't need 'em), and I've never used those for the 10/22. These are black plastic - they don't look too solid. Anyone familar with...

    Flip Covers for Weaver Scope

    I've got a Ruger 10/22 with a Weaver scope (marked V-22A). Arizona can be pretty dusty, and the scope gets its share. I've seen scopes with covers that flip up. Are these integral with the scope, or do they make aftermarket covers to retrofit a scope like this Weaver? Thanks.

    Magazines - the kinds we read

    I've always been able to learn a great deal about my current interests by finding the right magazine(s). For computers it was PC Magazine, it was Hot Rod for cars, and it was Playboy for ... well, anyway - what magazine(s) could you recommend for guns? I want to improve my knowledge of pistols...

    Scattergun Technologies

    Anyone done business with these folks? I read an article this weekend in 'Guns & Weapons for Law Enforcement', and it was complimentary about the modifications these folks can make to a Rem 870 for tactical / home defense use. Their web site is http://www.scattergun.com/ Thanks.

    Treating and working a leather holster

    I was at a gun show sometime back, and a vendor was explaining the process he used to work a leather holster. I've got a cheapo leather holster that I've had for years. Seems well built, but the loops on the belt have gotten too large to reliably hold the rounds, and the holster doesn't really...

    Alec Baldwin

    Did any of you see the clip of Alec Baldwin on Conan O'Brien's show 12/17? The jerk actually called for Henry Hyde to be 'stoned to death' and after Hyde is stoned to death, Baldwin suggests going to Hyde's home and murdering his wife and children!! What a disgusting display. While he is...

    Abbreviations

    Probably sounds pretty ignorant, but I can't always figure out all of the abbreviations I'm reading. Perhaps you could add a small list of common abbreviations in your FAQ's? The standard abbreviations included, such as BTW (by the way) and so on. I still don't get IMHO! Just learned AD...

    Shorter Barrel on Rem 870

    Just purchased super magnum 870, and I'd like to make sure it is as handy as possible for home defense. Bought this due to recommendations from friends re: dependability, versatility, etc. I gather the first modification should be barrel length. I thought that would be an easy change, but I...
