    How many guns and rounds for a typical range session

    I am just curious about how many guns and rounds of ammunition you use in a typical range session. Also, how often do you get to the range? In my last range session: Six Guns LR308 (7.62 NATO and .308 Win), AR 7.62x39, Remington 7615 (5.56 NATO and .223 Rem), Hi-Point 995TS (9mm NATO...

    AR 7.62x39 Range Report

    This is my second 80% build. I decided to do an 80% lower build-on-the-cheap in 7.62x39. I built it from a kit from Daytona Tactical http://daytonatactical.com/collections/7-62x39-parts/products/7-62-x-39-ar-rifle-kit-10-quadrail-1-x-10-upper-assembled-without-80-lower and a raw finish lower...

    LR308 from 80% lower range report

    I finally took my built-on-the-cheap LR308 out to the range for testing last week. This is the one with the bolt catch problem on assembly as discussed in this thread: http://thefiringline.com/forums/showthread.php?t=579146 So after several safety and function checks at home it was time to hit...

    LR308 bolt catch buffer and spring

    I built my first LR-308 this last weekend. After cleaning the stripped receiver I made the error of not running a drill bit in each and every hole in the receiver. As a result, there was some hidden crud in the bolt catch spring hole. Now the spring and bolt catch buffer are stuck in the...

    California new FSC requirement

    I just heard about California requiring a Firearms Safety Certificate (FSC) to purchase or transfer (receive) long guns as of 1/01/2015. This will replace the HSC (Handgun Safety Certificate) and can also be used for purchasing Handguns. I cannot find any study materials on the California DOJ...

    Bi Focals and focusing on front sight...

    For all you experienced shooters, I am 54 and wear bi-focal glasses. My sight without glasses is 20/400 so I must wear glasses when shooting handguns. With scoped rifles, I can remove the glasses and focus the scope for my eyes, so no problems. So, when I look at the target through the...

    Getting gun out of retention holster

    So, I got my first retention holster for my Bersa Thunder 380. It is a Fobus and holds the gun quite well. However, how do I draw from the holster? If I grab the gun and pull straight up the entire holster and my belt try to take my pants along with them. I know there is a method to properly...

    Backyard Practice

    I am a newbie to Cowboy Action Shooting. Just tried it at one of the free "new shooters" clinic and fell in love with the sport. However, living in California, it can be difficult to get started. First, since we can only purchase one handgun every 30 days :barf:, it takes a couple of months...

    One Scope, Two Shooters?

    I have never used a scope so have a newbie question. I will be putting a scope on my Remington 7615 that is used by two different shooters. Being new to scopes, my question is: will the scope need to be re-zeroed for each shooter, or is it specific to the rifle so one setting works for all...

    Pump Shotgun for Skeet, Trap, or Sporting Clays?

    Just wondering if any of you use a pump shotgun for Skeet, Trap or Sporting Clays. I have a Remington 870 Express Magnum that I don't shoot because no place around seems to allow such a shotgun on their range. Yet, just 5 minutes from work is a wonderful Skeet, Trap and Sporting clays club...
