    Typical # of guns you'd bring to the range for a 1-2 hour trip

    See topic. I usually bring 2-3 guns pretty much every time (with my 22LR pistol or rifle in there every time). When I bring out a guest I may take that # up to 4 or 5. This is for a 60-90 minute indoor session, fwiw, and I only make it to the range 1-2x a month. When I go alone, there have...

    Green Lasers a Tactical No-no?

    See title. As I ponder a RED or GREEN laser for my upcoming LWRC M6A3 (AR15 style, piston based) I spent a good deal of time checking out ViridianLaser.com 's lineup. One thing I noticed (and this has been repeated in user comments elsewhere, including on this board) is that unlike it's RED...

    Black Rifle Goodies

    So, as I eagerly await my LWRC M6A3 rifle (in 6.8), I've been going over the various goodies available for the AR platform and trying to decide what to get. Items I already have include: -Eotech XPS3-0 Red Dot Sight (well, it's on order, due imminently; I've been in line on this thing since...

    Ordered an LWRC Int'l M6A3 in 6.8 SPC

    http://lwrci.com/Products/M6A3/tabid/83/Default.aspx Hooray! I ordered a LWRC M6A3 in 6.8 SPC with 16" barrel today (had to order it direct to get a New Jersey compliant build). It should be done in 4-6 weeks for around $2375 (it's a piston build). (1) Can anyone suggest a particular ammo...

    LWRC AR-style... make it easy for me, please

    LWRC AR-style... make it easy for me, please Assume I want to buy a piston based LWRC made AR rifle. FULLY BUILT (except optics perhaps). Can someone give me a simple link to the site or a SKU or something other than a parts list? I want to buy a WHOLE rifle, fully built. I don't know...

    What gun type (& finish) is best for the BATHROOM?

    Assume for a moment I wanted to store a gun in my master bathroom. It happens to be the quasi-safe room in our house. What type & finish is best -- assume that it would be exposed to the elements (i.e. daily steam from the shower, etc.). On a second level, if leaving it fully exposed is too...

    Israel -- pro-gun or pro-control?

    Co-workers and I have been wondering, is Israel a pro-gun or pro-gun control country? If pro-gun, just how much so? Full auto okay? Gun ownership encouraged?

    New Jersey & Bipods

    So, while I await my (very) backordered Walther G22 rifle (22LR), I was thinking of ordering the accessories which are probably also hard to get. One of those items I'm considering is a BIPOD. New Jersey is pretty bad, so I figured I wouldn't take anything for granted... so... without further...

    Walther G22 -- heresy or simple fun?

    See title. One out of dozens of posts on more common rifles mentioned the little space gun (aka Walther G22) and I remain a bit smitten by it. Now, don't jump all over me. I still REALLY like the bolt action rifle setup and will likely get just that in a 308 Win or 30-06 setup when I can...

    New Shotgun OWNER... starter questions

    Well, as noted in my prior "help me pick a shotgun", I ended up going with and getting a Benelli Super Sport (pictures to follow on update, I promise!). Previously, I have not had any long guns, though I do have 5 semi-auto handguns and a high powered revolver. Anywho, when I got each of my...

    FFL Transfer Purchases

    Anyone feel odd about having their local gunshop just act as an FFL for receiving purchases made elsewhere (say, budsgunshop.com)? I find that I can get better AND quicker pricing on buds than I get from my local shop. I feel a little odd about not letting them have a shot at competing, but...

    Airsoft for indoor/at home training

    What does everyone think of Airsoft guns for indoor/at home training? I'm referring mainly to items such as unholstering/holstering, trigger pulls (i.e. in lieu of dry firing), etc. I picked up a Walther PPS airsoft that looks and feels VERY much like my real Walther PPS, and even snaps into...

    Looking for a current, good lookin' 22LR Rifle

    See subject. I have a 22LR handgun that I really enjoy, and with ammo costs skyrocketing, I'd like to also switch things up a bit and get a nice 22LR rifle for my shooting pleasure. [I have no other rifles at this point, but will likely get a .308Win sometime in the next few months.] I don't...

    Nearly empty range today... Ammo rationing

    Scenario 1: About a month ago I went to the range and it was PACKED. The number of shooters had been ramping up for months, mostly do to all the new people buying guns. Ammo was getting more and more expensive at the range, but they had plenty of it. They were charging $27 per 100 of 9mm...

    Heller & SCOTUS -- who voted which way?

    See subject. Try as I might, my googling skills are failing me. Anyone have the list of who voted which way on Heller (at the SCOTUS level)? I ask with particular interest in whether or not Souter's retirement would have made any difference if it happened prior to the Heller decision. Thank you.

    New to Shotguns, seeking opinion on which to buy

    I've been a handgunner for a little while now and would like to expand my collection by adding in a shotgun and rifle. [I'll save the rifle talk for the other forum; thinking 308 Win for that.] The choices seem overwhelming, so perhaps I should just stick with something middle-of-the-road and...

    MR762 & MR556 - HK's 416/417 Civilian Versions

    MR762 & MR556 - HK's 416/417 Civilian Versions Is anyone else as excited about these two as I am? I refer to HK's MR556 and MR762 rifles which are due in the USA in late 2009. These are the civvy versions of the HK416/417 series. I have given up trying to find an AR-15 (in NJ). When I first...

    Having someone ELSE buy you ammo (Pennsylvania)

    If I had a relative in Pennsylvania buy ammo at Walmart, assuming that person has no guns of their own, no licenses either, is that an issue? I know in NJ it's harder now for a non-FPID holder to buy ammo, but I think it's still okay in PA, no? [I'd go to PA to get it from them, I would not...

    What's your typical range trip (#guns/#rounds/time/skills worked on)?

    # guns: 2-3 # rounds: 250-400 time per trip: 90 minutes frequency: once a month I shoot at an indoor range that is in the back of a gun shop. I usually start off slowly at 10-15 yds. Eventually, I run the target all the way back (25yds) and occasionally switch to one handed shooting...

    Ammo -- 9mm -- gone gone gone (ONLINE BULK)

    I've been buying ammo online in decent quantities. [I know Walmarts are all the rage on here, but I prefer to buy in QTY and my Walmart doesn't ever carry ammo anyway.] After this past weekend at the range (and hearing THEY were running low, even at overpriced prices), I went online. There is...
