The brother and I went to the range today with a couple of guns, and hoping to rent the Ruger Super Redhawk snubbie in .454 they have... but they had just run out of ammo for it. So we browsed through their rentals and decided to just go with a Glock 20. After shooting my S&W 4006 for awhile, I...

Just thought it would be interesting to know what everyones most powerful rifle is, since I'm a fan of guns that go boom with authority :D. Since I only have a small collection as of now, mine would be my Mosin Nagant M91/30.

Does anybody know if the Russian military still uses the AK47 at all? I know that the AK74 is pretty much their main rifle now, but is the AK47 still being used by any particular units? I have wondered this for a while but never got to finding out the answer, so it would be an interesting thing...

Just curious to how loud a Mosin Nagant, or any comparable rifle is without any hearing protection? Its not like i'll be shooting it without hearing protection often, but if I go hunting with it someday i'd at least like to know what to expect.

When I was working on refinishing my mosin M91/30's stock today, I decided to try and remove the barrel band retainer springs from the stock. I started with the rear one, and well it snapped... Didn't think it would break that easy. Where can I find a new one? Also does anyone know an easy way...

Recently I bought a mosin at my local gunshop, I couldn't resist getting one seeing as they had an entire box of them all for $135. I picked the one that I thought had the smoothest bolt and decent wood. The employee who sold it to me also informed me that it had never been issued, which is a...

For the longest time I've been interested in the .300 winchester magnum cartridge, probably mostly because I'm pretty young and have the idea that the bigger the cartridge the more fun and interesting it is. Of course I love my .22 rifle, but there's just something I like about the bigger...

I was just curious if the US military uses the .22LR cartridge for anything, like possibly target practice? Its just such a popular cartridge I just wondered if it had any use by the military. If they do use it, what do they call it? What I mean by that is you know how they call say the 7.62x51...

How much different, or alike, are these two cartridges? I am thinking about getting a Colt Delta Elite someday, but I have never fired a 10MM nor do I know much about the cartridge. I do have a .40 cal (S&W 4006) and I don't find the recoil bad at all, maybe because the 4006 is fairly heavy, but...

Does anyone here own a Sig M400, or have at least fired one? I have a brother that works at Sig Sauer in Exeter NH, and recently I was talking to him about how I would like to own an AR15 type rifle someday. He told me about Sig's new M400, and since he works there, he said he could get me one...

Does anyone know how to make ballistic gel at home using gelatin? I thought it would be interesting to shoot a few .40 S&W's into some out of pure curiosity as to what happens to different types of bullets.

Hey im obviously new to thefiringline, so as my first post I would like to ask a question that i've always wanted to ask more experienced hunters. I am currently 18, and someday i'd like to go deer hunting, when I get the proper rifle to do so. From what i've heard, it seems pretty fun... but at...
