    I have been shopping around for a good CCW gun for the past month or so. I looked at alot of different guns and decided to focus on a smaller frame 9mm in the $600 - $700 range which I had set aside. I already have a Glock 23 that is a great carry gun, but the ammo is a bit pricey and I wanted...

    Springfield 1903

    I had a chance to take a look at my Uncle's 1903 Springfield this weekend. Very neat rifle! It has never been fired and the chamber was still caked in grease. I had never seen one up close and I just remember thinking that lugging that thing around on the battlefield would be a bit of a...

    10/22 Stock Mod

    I came across a thread for a "$20 Stock Mod" at RFC and thought I'd give it a shot... Keep in mind that I have VERY little wood working skills and limited access to tools, but I used what I had. Took me about four weeks of sawing, sanding, Bondo-ing, and gluing. I think it turned out pretty...

    Im looking for my next gun...

    I need some guidance. Right now I have a G23 as my CCW. Let me first say that I love this gun. However... the ammo ( 40S&W ) is a bit pricey, the size isnt the best for CCW, and "curb appeal" leaves much to be desired. I would like to find a gun that meets the following criteria and Im not...

    AR Parts?

    Ok... so I finally bit the bullet (literally) and bought my first AR 15. I have to say that I couldnt be happier with it's looks and performance so far. It is a new Bushmaster M4 type O.R.C. It came with a quad rail, fore grip, and a good red dot sight (Bushnell Holosight). I have since...

    Grandpa's Remington 572

    My Grandfather recently gave me an old Remington 572 "fieldmaster" that has been in storage for years. He is not exactly sure how old it is, but he did tell me that this particular model was not that popular at the time. I think he told me it was one of the first "lightweight" rifle designs...

    Scope prices?

    I am very new to rifles in general, soooo it shouldnt be a suprise that I know very little (or nothing) about choosing a decent scope :confused: For casual use (range plinking or occasional small game hunting) does it make much sense to drop a large amount of $$$ for a "top of the line" scope...
