I just joined a local Gun Club for the private use of their range facilities and the general gun-related hobnobbing that goes around at such clubs. Up until now, I've been shooting mainly at public ranges, paying an annual membership instead of a per-visit charge. I joined because the club...

I know...another AR-related thread, but since it's the Flavor of the Month these days: As for many folks, the stock grips on my AR are just too thin -- and I have smallish hands already. I saw some Magpul MIADs at the local gun shop the other day and decided to pick them up after reading about...

My local range's gun store was having a fire sale and I came across a one gallon Ziploc bag bulging with .45ACP range pickups for $12. :D A bunch of the brass has the head stamp of WCC 77 which I understand to be Western Cartridge Co. (Winchester). The question I have is about the markings made...

And now the wait begins for my Service Grade HRA M1 Garand from the CMP. Until then, any pics, advice, tips or other info Garandophiles care to share to tide me (and others who are, no doubt, also waiting) over? :D

Alrighty! Not too long a wait. About 6 weeks and change for my new Stag Model 2 to come in. ARs are still pretty hard to come by here in CT. Of course, by Law of Murphy, I was traveling when I got the call from my gun dealer. Had to wait an extra 4 days to pick it up. I haven't traveled for work...

:D Local Wal-Mart was all out of hand sanitizer, as was every pharmacy and grocery store near me, but I managed to score one lonely box of .223 today.

In case you're not on their email list, I got the following email this morning:

Was at Hoffman's today on the Berlin Turnpike, Newington. As of 4:30p ET 4/20/09, they had 6 LCPs left from about a large order of about 100 they received the other day. Get 'em while you can, folks...

Took my friend gun shopping today, making the rounds of all the local gunstores. Looking for a compact 9mm to carry, he settled on the new CZ P-07 Duty. I had read little about them so when I saw and handled it, I was quite impressed. Very nice fit and finish for its price point. And the most...

Hey guys and gals, By far, it was the best $70 I have spent on anything! :D True to New England fashion, I think we made 8 (maybe 9?) rifleman out of 36 shooters throughout the weekend. It could have been more, I don't have the exact numbers. But the point is that our group was hungry to...

Another day, another shooting. :barf: http://www.cnn.com/2009/CRIME/04/03/binghampton.shooting/index.html The bad guys are coming out of the woodworks these days. And they are getting more brazen it seems to me. What do you all think is going on here? So far no one's died, but four wounded...

So I've got my Lee Classic Turret set up with the Safety Prime and Pro Autodisk powder dispenser. I cranked out about 250 rounds of .45ACP today. Nice and quick. Only issue: I've got the Pro Autodisk on one Autodisk riser, but it's not clearing the Safety Prime entirely on every go around. No...

Saw a P220 Match SAO today in very good to excellent condition. Dealer was asking $645 for it. Seemed a little steep to me. What do you all opine? [EDIT] My bad. Wrong Forum. Mods, please move at your convenience...

Thought I'd share my latest impulse purchase... Went to the local sporting goods store the other day and they had one Ruger 10/22 Carbine sitting on the shelf all lonely and saying "take me home." $200 and some paperwork later, it was mine. These have been hard to come by around here so I had...

Well, bad time to get into the AR-15 market, I know. With that out of the way, I'm considering the purchase of either a Bushy M4 or a custom-built AR-15 from Fulton Armory. If I can find one, the Bushmaster M4 will probably go for MSRP ($1300!!) or more. It is what it is. If I go the Fulton...

Hey all, Aside from the usual cleaning, what do you do, if anything, for preventative maintenance on your autoloaders and the frequency? For e.g., do you replace the recoil spring and how often? etc...etc.. CJ

This happened not too far from where I live. I often go to this Wendy's for lunch. What's so surprising is that this happened in broad daylight, on a street with tons of traffic. Just a reminder that things happen anytime, anywhere. Stay alert and be safe... Link to Article

How about a mobile version of TFL for those of us who need to be on here all the time. :D

Been thinking about one of these lately to add to my collection. Should I consider new or should I try to find a nice used Belgian-made one? Any significant differences in design, function, trigger, etc. between new and used? Pros and cons? Thanks, CJ

So in researching .45ACP loads, I often come across folks who say they use mixed brass in their batches. All the manuals recommend you sort brass at least by head stamp (if not by lot) and by number of times fired. But if you're inspecting cases as the normal part of reloading, I can see how...
