I am about to trade a gun or two online. At least one of these will be with an out of state individual. I have bought and sold guns online in the past, but never traded. Nor have I ever acquired a used gun without observing it in person. I'm looking for advice from folks who have traded in the...

Ok, so I'm new to the reloading game, and I have never loaded any lead. I just picked up some .38sp dies and I have a quick question. If I order some bullets from, say, Missouri Bullet (or any other lead bullet supplier), can I assume that the load in Lymans 49th will work for that bullet? To...

I just stumbled across this little number while looking into campus carry stuff. I'm a college student. However, I'm not an idealistic 18 year old binge drinker living on daddy's bill. I'm a regular guy who is married with a kid, working full time, and attending school full time for Nuclear...

Ok this Sig 226 is my ol' faithful. It has never skipped a beat. It was submerged in salt water for over a week after hurricane katrina and has still eaten everything I've fed it (after a little TLC of course). If there has ever been a die hard testimony to how much of a beating a Sig 226 can...

Well boys, I'm starting to feel my newest itch, but I'm not quite sure how to scratch it. I have a big gap in my collection... no lever actions. I think I need to fix this with something of the .44 mag denomination, but I might end up going with a 30-30. I'm leaning towards the .44 because I'm...

I was planning on buying a Crossbreed Supertuck, but it seems that Kholster is quite a bit cheaper. I could get two Kholsters for the price of one Supertuck. Anybody have both? Is the Supertuck worth the extra cash?

If I install the Yankee Hill 1/2" riser on my M4, will it co-witness at all w/ an Eotech 510/11? I know that most Eotech style risers are 1/3" for the "lower third" co-witness, but will it still be possible with a 1/2" riser? It's not a big deal to me if not. When I want to shoot with my...

I just finished up doing my initial clean on my new M&P15, and it got me to thinking about starting up this thread about cleaning and lubing tips, tricks, tools and products. Got any signature tips or tricks? What do you think the best solvents and lubes are? Have you found any interesting...

I guess the title says it all. I have a 510 on the way and I'd love some of those GG&G lens covers, but they don't list the 510 as a compatible model. It seems like one of the other models' lens covers would work. Anybody know? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I know there are a thousand thread on here regarding this topic, it's basically the same as the ol' "What gun for my wife" and "Advice please, new 9mm" threads. I searched through the archive, but just couldn't get the answers I needed and I will probably have further questions. So I apologize...

Well I did the Heggis flip and it didn't work. While reviewing the pics in the step by step, I noticed that mine looks different than his (behind the sear spring is just a simple slant, no ledge). So I switched it back, and it's even worse now! So, now the hammer is stuck up. When I push it...

So does anybody here have experience with the "sear spring flip trick"/Heggis Flip for the Buckmark? I like the sound of a 20 minute DIY project that lightens the trigger by 50%. The only thing I would be concerned about here is overtravel. It's a really simple procedure that is easily...

I have just found a good deal on a mid 80's blued Colt Government Model .380 NIB absolutely perfect condition, never been shot. I'm probably going to buy it. What are your opinions on it? Should I jump on a good deal? And most importantly... What would you pay for this a this gun?

First off let me say, I'm not a member of the 1911 cult. I love the look, the feel, and the history, but I don't own one. Sometime soon this needs to change. I don't feel that I need a $2000 Wilson. I just want an entry level 1911. I've heard a bunch of good reviews for RI, and a couple of...

I just thought I'd share this in case anyone else might be interested. I was never much for the in drawer/on the table methods of bedside storage. I did some experimenting with ways to store my firearm out of view but with easy access. The pics below are of the method I that I settled on. It...

I'm really thinking about getting a NAA mini for BUG/Pocket purposes. I've already settled on the fact that I want the 1 1/8" bbl and the grip holster, but I'm still undecided between the 22lr and the 22mag versions. I'm leaning towards the 22mag, but I still have some questions. I'd like to...

I am heading to San Fransisco in the morning for a week. I actually used to live in El Cerrito (eastbay) years ago, so I know my way around the city pretty well. This trip is actually our belated honeymoon (I was in school at the time of our wedding on June 20th). So needless to say we will be...

This seems like a great deal on a great gun. I own one and love it. I paid about $100 more for mine and I think it was worth every penny. It's never had even a single hiccup. I just thought I'd let people know they are currently on sale...

Ok, so this has been on my mind for some time now and seeing it mentioned in passing by another TFL member inspired me to start a thread. I feel like this is a very important topic for internet gun forum members. I did a couple of searches and they didn't yield too much info on the subject...

I was recently introduced to this online poster generator @ http://diy.despair.com/motivator.php On another forum, there was a thread where members were making their own posters, and they were pretty great. I think TFL members have a good overall sense of humor, so I wanted to see some of...
