Hello all. I donate platelets every 2 weeks at the local Red Cross. I was carrying yesterday when I went and noticed a placard on the door stating the facility was off limits to concealed carry (with or without a license). I went back over the State web page and CCW class booklet and I can't...

Hi All. Walmart wants $560 for a model 7 laminate here in Durham, NC. Anyone know if this is reasonable. Also, the Savage Scout isn't showing in their catalog, so I have a question in w/ the factory to see if they are still producing it. As related to a previous post, I have decided to go w/...

Please ignore the other post, like this one, that I accidently posted as a reply somewhere else... What a day. I've been trying to decide between 2 rifles as my first long gun. A Marlin 336 in 30-30 or the Savage Scout in .308. I am looking for a good all around take with me rifle that will...

In response to a previous post looking for a scout type rifle, I have been looking at some Marlin lever guns in 30-30. Does anyone know where I could get info on this cartridge in terms of camparing it to more modern ones such as the .308 Win? Thanks, -Coop

Good morning all. A grad student where I work has asked if he could come with me to my range and try out a couple of my guns. He has never held a gun before, probably never saw one in person either. This would be his first experience. I am rather excited because I work in Academia, that far...

Looking to purchase my first rifle and am really leaning towards the 700VS/PSS. Because I am very poor this time of year, I am thinking about purchasing piecemeal. So, I am considering first buying the barrel/receiver for now, then shopping around for a stock at a later time. I have been...

Hoping one of you could give a newbie some advice. My 870 Police Magnum is equiped with rifle sights which I real like. The problem is that in low light or w/out my specs on, the white dot on the front sight is hard to pick up. I thought about hitting it with some paint, but think that white is...

I recently purchased a new 11-87 Police model. It has ghost ring sights, bead front from Gunworks? Both the bead and the rear ap. have wings ("It's got wings!" ;) The rear wing/ghost ring assembly is silver soldered? to the receiver. Now, it was soldered crooked, a little to the right. The...

I am looking to purchase my first Glock. I was originally looking at a USP but it is too expensive for me. So, the 17 or the 21. I have a 1911-A1 FS, and am thinking I should stick with 45ACP for ease of ordering ammo supplies, etc. But I've heard great things about the 17. I've handled...

Just ran across a full tube of Oster electric clipper grease in an old drawer. Anyone want to comment on whether or not I could use this as slide grease? It's more like very thick oil than grease... Thanks, -Coop

Good morning, hope you can give me an idea... I just picked up my first SG, an 870 Police 18" with rifle sights. I am having a hard time seeing the front sight. It has the white dot. Do you know of any way to brighten this up? Fluorescent paint? I can't afford tritium at this time, but...

Could you elaborate on what exactly safe rooms are? Are they bedroom closets and the like? Also, If you could give me an idea of how to convert/design one that would be great. Regards, -Coop

Just bought an 870 Police model 18", mag ext., Giles sling, side saddle, pistol grip stock, sights... Very happy. Just thought I'd share. Regards -Coop

Anybody know if gunrag.com will ever put out a 3rd issue???

Good morning to all and Happy Holidays. I had a question about the 40 and all the Kb stories I keep hearing about. First off, it appears to be mostly in Glocks. Is this because of the unsupported chamber or simply because there are so many Glocks out there? Wouldn't all Glocks face this...

Does anyone know if I can ship a SLIDE ONLY back to Springfield Armory for a repair? The USPS website says it's ok to ship to factory for repair but them goes on to say it's not??? Also, isn't only the receiver of a handgun considered a "gun?" Thanks for your time, -Coop

Good morning folks. I posted this in another forum and wanted to get some more opinions about a loose front sight. After running 400 total rounds through my new Milspec (100 today) I noticed that the front sight is loose and wobbles a bit. Not much, so I am thinking about leaving it for a...

Good morning all, Wanted to get some opinions on mounting a holster in my car. I carry strong side IWB and sitting in my car for more than 15 seconds causing extreme discomfort(as well as not being all that great for the holster). I was thinking about mounting a cheap foam(Uncle Mike's)...

What is a reasonable price for a new 700 VS in the North Carolina region? The action is aluminum bedded, so if I throw a scope on it would it be pretty much as accurate as can be, save a lightened triggey? Thanks, -Coop
