Fellow Shooters, I used the search engine to check threads on Gunsmithing schools and didn't really find anything with correspondence type courses. Although I do qualify for the Vocational Rehab program from the VA, I do not want to move my entire family...wife +4 kids to attend a gunsmithing...

No...I don't have one for sale, I just bought one for that price! :D Today I put some money down on a new rifle, an Enfield #4 Mk 1 in .303. I was told it was a Canadian "longbranch" . From what I could see the bore and bolt was extremely good and it was supposed to be a factory refurb. The...

Fellow Shooters, While visiting a local gunstore I came across several Enfields chambered for .410 shotgun shell. I believe he wanted $150 for them. The idea intreagued me because most likely you could shoot .410 and .45 colt out of the weapon. Either way, I think it would be a neat novelty...

Fellow shooters, After much whining and pleading I convinced the wife that I really needed a Makarov. Well, actually I put the money down for it and pleaded for my life when the wife found the receipt:D But needless to say, It's a done deal!! I pick up my new baby payday!!:D The new one is a...

I've noticed on several other places that they have a chat room area such as GT and AR15.com. Do we have one here and I have missed it all this time? Or is there not enough interest to get one started? I for one think it would be a great way to talk with some of the TFL members and get to...

Fellow Shooters, I purchased some Winchester USA 115gr JHP 9mm Luger ammo at the local Wallyworld last night. The bullet is copper colored with 6 serrations in the nose of the bullet to allow for expansion. I checked some of the specs on it and it is loaded to 1225 fps instead of 1190 for the...

Fellow Shooters, I have seen a lot of places that advertise 30rd Browning Hi Power Magazines in addition to the standard 13rd Hi Caps. I was wondering if anyone has any of these mags and what are your experiences concerning reliability? I thought it might be a neat item to have just for fun...

I was wondering how many of you people have noticed when someone is carrying a weapon, even to the point where it becomes comical. Here are some of the things I've noticed. 1. The undie puller. He constantly fidgets and does a funny twitch with an IWB Holster. 2. The Refuser. This is the guy...

I am trying to find out some information on the Standard Arms 9mm pistol. It looks somewhat like the Kel Tec, but at 14 oz, supposedly the lightest 9mm available. http://www.standardgun.com/ My father recently purchased one at a Gun Show and I had the opportunity to examine it, but we have...

Fellow Shooters, I decided to use Brownells teflon gun finish, the bake type you do in the oven and wonder if anyone has any experiences with this product. I am refinishing the frame on my FM Hi Power to an OD Green color and leaving the slide black. I think the contrast will be interesting...

I'm not sure this is the exact place to address this issue, but I'm curious, does anyone out there have freinds and relatives that own or borrow guns that are complete idiots when it comes to safety? I think back to my Bro-in- law during Deer Season. He had borrowed a bolt action rifle to hunt...

Fellow Shooters, I have always purchased factory Glock magazines for use in my pistols, but I have seen aftermarket mags that are made of metal. I have heard of some people saying that the metal mags will "eat" at your magazine catch. 1. Is this True? 2. Is there an aftermarket metallic mag...

Ok Guys. I gotta know, maybe I'm a wimp. Perhaps I'm too short. Could it be possibly that I dress funny? I just gotta know...how the heck do a lot of guys get away at what seems to kill me. Carrying a full size .45 1911 in the heat of summer with just a T Shirt over? Carrying a Glock 27 in...

Fellow Shooters, I just recently purchased a new FM HI-Power and would like to know is this is a reasonably reliable clone of the Browning HP. On the slide is stamped FM-HI POWER INDUSTRIA ARGENTINA. Serial Numbers on the slide, frame and Barrel are identical and it is chambered for the 9mm...
