I have been here at TFL for quite some time and am also a member of several other firearms related boards on the net as many here are. Of all the firearms related boards out there, my hat is off to TFL as the best overall information board for any firearm question. While other boards specialize...

As much as we all (myself included) talk about accuracy and strive for it, I wonder if we are not to the point of tinkering with something that will not get much better. What motivates us to seek more accuracy? We all want as accurate a rifle as is possible. But, is there really that much...

Well I finally got my tax return back from 1999. Don't ask me to explain that one. :mad: Am wanting to spend it on a nice .22 semi auto (or full auto, quit dreaming) that will be able to shoot shorts, longs and long rifles. I know that some of the older tubular fed models would shoot all of...

I love my Bushmaster Shorty but the trigger needs to be changed. Have read lots of posts which seem to indicate that many of you concur. So the big question is. Can I do the job myself or do I need a gunsmith. If any of you have done it yourself (and you're not a gunsmith) :) please let me...

Am curious to know if anyone reloads .223 and if so do you reload for 1. cost or 2. accuracy? I reload all of my pistol calibers but have not done the .223 or 7.62x39 as they seem so cheap as it is. Thanks for the information. sks

What caliber did Tom Selleck use in Quigly Down Under and is the thing really that accurate? sks

Well today was the day to take the plunge. Got a brand spanking new Bushy XM15 E2S Shorty 16" with the Trijicon ACOG TA01. :D Also got 2 - 40 round mags, 10 - 30 rounders and 2 - 10 round mags along with 500 rounds of ammo. :D Am ready to have some fun. Probably won't be able to hit the range...

A local gun store has a Colt AR H-Bar National Match "shorty" with the detachable handle. Price $1,100. Is this a good deal? Thanks, sks

While I've read all of the manufacturers wonderful wording about what their muzzle brakes and flash suppressors will do I would like some first hand experience from those that know. Do you recommend the AR style setup with the muzzle brake or flash suppressor? Do you recommend against this...

Just curious as to which caliber of these two would be considered better suited to varmit hunting. The .243 looks to have somewhat better ballistics as far as higher fps both at muzzle and out to 500 yards. While it also retains much more of it's energy in ft. lbs. again at muzzle and out to 500...

When bolt action rifles are catagorized as "short action" or "long action" what is this referring to specifically? Thanks, SKS

What are any of your experiences with the Galil? Is this rifle available to civilians? Thanks, sks

I know that it is illegal to purchase a new folding stock for a post-ban Mini-14 or 10/22. However, can this be done with a pre-ban folding stock on a new weapon? Or is it the weapon itself that makes the difference? The reason I ask is that I've seen some "pre-ban" stocks being sold and was...

Does anyone know if the Gemtech supprressed barrels for the 10/22 are for civilian purchase or LEO/Military only? Thanks.

For those of you who own or have owned the AR and it's various variants what are the best brands and why?

Are all mags for H&K handguns interchangeable? I've located some 15 round 9mm mags here for $ 50.00 which doesn't seem too bad to me. These are original H&K, not copies. Will these fit all H&K 9mm pistols? Thanks, sks

Does anyone know if civilians can (legally) own the H&K MP5K that has been modified to only shoot semi auto and not 3 round bursts? Thanks, sks

Anyone getting a new gun for Christmas or giving one perhaps? I'm getting money to purchase one. Or two. :D Will get a Win. Model 70 and a handgun. Currently I don't own any 1911s but am leaning that way. Have shot my Dad's Colt GCNM and really like it. Any suggestions on 1911s? What a dumb...

All of the stuff aside about the S&W agreement, does anyone really like Sigma pistols? Personally I've held several and shot a few but was never pleased with them. In fact I don't know of anyone who owns one and I don't see many advertise in magazines. Is it just me or are there lots of Sigmas...

Some may already be aware but if not, here is an interesting article. http://www.foxnews.com/national/121900/gunsuit_fnc.sml Apparently S&W is continuing with it's sellout of American gun owners. :mad: :mad: I recently got my January / February issue of American Handgunner and was appalled...
