    I dont want to TAPCO, but I might

    I dont want to TAPCO or 'bubba' my SKS but after another range trip and two hundred rounds with it I'm still not fully comfortable and still not that accurate. It stings, which concerns me seeing as I can use my 12 gauge without any problem whatesoever. I'm thinking I should just get a sight...

    Why do people fail at articulating a 10/22?

    I'm not saying they can't use the gun, but it seems like everyone outside the experienced core user group [10/22 addicts] can never get their heads around pulling the bolt back and pressing the bolt lock. And then when they try to close the bolt they fail on the bolt lock without retracting the...

    Mk.23 Impressions

    got some time with a Mk.23 Mod 0 "Socom" today and all I can say is "wow." It was ridiculously accurate, suprisingly lightweight and not as a difficult to handle as I expected. It did seem abnormally "snappy" for .45 but it didnt matter, I got solid groupings at 25 yards. The bulkiness was a...

    Can Shotguns be called "accurate"

    Slug related answers not withstanding Can shotguns ever be compared in terms of accuracy? I ask this because someone queried this on one of my photos. I dont think "accurate" is the word to be used, as in my mind it comes down to choke, distance and the patterning of the shot. Yes? As in, I...

    CMMG Lowers?

    Getting the permit[MN]for now, so, looking into an AR15. I have found a CMMG .223 lower with internals for $200. This will be my first AR, and I want to do it right. I don't need anything super milspec like Colt or Knights, but is there anything wrong with CMMGs?

    "Pencil" AR Barrels

    I finally got around to snagging the paperwork for Minnesota's stupid military style rifle permit. So I'm deliberating doing a home defense shotgun project, fixing that SKS [which I dont want to] and an AR15 build now. I've heard some negative outcomes of having thinner barrels on an AR, but at...

    The Obvious about Youtube

    Youtube; It's full of some very, very,very dumb people.. I just need to say that. I post firearms videos, then some little punk who knows only videogames comes and says something stupid or malicious. I remove their comments without any quarrel, and then THEY come and rate down the video. this...

    Are Colt 1911s Really All That?

    I just got a comment on one of my recent range videos I told him that Colt was not the original, as Browning designed it. and I got to thinking. Given all the great options these days, Kimber, Para, Springfield, S&W, Dan Wesson, Willson Combat and all the others, are Colts really the cream of...

    Museing on a First Handgun Part II

    Okay, I got some more range time with some potential first handguns today and now I have more revelations to take into consideration, and again some feedback is appreciated. 1. I shoot 1911s about as well as I do Glocks, which is great. 2. Taurus has lost my business. 3. Single Stack Magazines...

    Another Museing On A First Handgun.

    At 20 years old I legally can not get a handgun yet in the state of Minnesota. Bummer. I keep getting trigger time with different handguns, trying to find one that fits. But I keep finding newer and better options, coupled with some revaltions which are: 1. It will be a .45, it's effective and...

    10mm auto as woods gun?

    Some people have said it makes a great range gun and not much else, some people have said it makes a good carry and not much else. But that power is some serious stuff... I'd think that carrying it in the woods [granted I could do it safely] would be a great option, enough for things smaller...

    Marvel Percision Unit 2 Conversion

    I had some trigger time with a poor abused gun today that I hope is not indiciative of a well maintained one. As with all conversion and non factory alterations with guns, I expect some quirks with the functionality. But not like this, on a 1911 Sig Sauer frame no less.Using CCI Standard...

    Airsoft transgressions

    I am really sick and tired of the attitude. I have nothing against airsoft as an industry or sport, what bugs me is the attitude displayed by [some] airsofters. I understand full well that airsoft exists because in alot of asian and european countires, gun laws are extremely tight, and outside...

    Decent Howa/Weatherby Prices?

    At the recent show I passed up a nearly new (probably was NIB) Howa 1500 in .223 Rem. I ended up coming home with an SKS but that's another story. They wanted $600 for the Howa, and seeing as it was'nt in the caliber I wanted (.308) I did'nt think it was worth it to TO ME. Is this a normal price?

    12 guage skeet gun needed

    A friend of mine, an accomplished trap shooter, is in an odd spot. The team has started to do skeet shooting as well, and he only has an older semi, that cannot take chokes. We hunted around at a recent show and couldnt find anything definitive. He says he wants a shorter barrel, supposedly...
