Earlier this year I bought a WASR-10, which is more-or-less the same thing as the Romanian SAR-1. It's been a ton of fun to shoot, and practically a "must buy" for $300. Anyway, this weekend I brought it along for some outside practice at the farm some friends and I hunt. We shot about 300...

Let's say you were headed to the woods for the next 10 years, and you could only bring one rifle. Sonething in the .270 to .30-06 range. No replacement gun, 'smiths, or parts, for the whole 10 years. What model would you take, for maximum durability and reliability? Accuracy would be nice...

My brother's birthday is coming up in about two weeks. It pains me to admit that he is probably a better all-around hunter than I am (geese, pheasants, ducks, deer). He does not, however, own a good all-around knife for cleaning game, camping, and whatever. So, I'd like to get him one. I've...

I enjoy collecting knives, and I suspect that a majority of TFL members are also interested in knives. There have been a number of times I would have liked to ask a knife question to the group, but have avoided doing so because it would be off-topic. Still, I've got the nagging feeling I'm...

Okay--I'm embarassed. The safety on my Browning Buckmark (basic model) was too tight, so I took it apart to "fix" it. So far so good. Now comes reassembly time. I put it all back together, and I got it wrong. The slide didn't just go straight back, as it should, it wanted to go back and up...

In the past, I may have mentioned, once or twice, and very politely of course, that I thought you were too quick to close down some posts. So now, just to be fair, I have to admit and acknowledge that you've allowed the "Oh No!!" thread to continue in the General Discussion forum. Is it...

Okay, everyone knows you're supposed to "push patches" until they come out clean. But once the patches are clean, guess what? If you push yet another solvent-soaked patch through, it will come out with some more crud on it (at least mine do). Then wait a few minutes and the dry patches you...

My son and I are planning to take a road trip next month. We're planning to do some exploring, hiking, and prospecting in several National Forests in northern Wyoming and southwest Montana. Does anyone know the laws about possessing and carrying firearms in these areas? I'd like to open-carry...

For years I've heard and read about Shotgun News, but I've never bothered to pick one up because, well, I guess the name turned me off--I wasn't really looking for a shotgun. Today a buddy gave me his issue. Um, for those of you who have been as ignorant as I have been, this thing is really...

I target shoot handguns at an indoor range. About half the time--especially with jacketed bullets at slower speeds--I'm positive I can see the bullet traveling down to targets at the 25-yard range. It's easiest to see if you put your head back a few inches from normal, with both eyes open, and...

Ordered a dreaded "assault weapon" this weekend I own a few rifles, shotguns, and handguns, but over the weekend I ordered an AK (SAR-1). Finally decided it would be a lot of fun to shoot, and a nice backup in case things get ugly. I went with the AK because it cost half as much as an AR, and...

Okay, I've got all of 6 posts to my credit, so I don't expect to carry much weight around here. But I still feel like I've got to speak out on this. I was reading a thread about the media's reaction to the movie "Black Hawk Down." The author's point, right or wrong, was that our devotion to...
