    NE PA car shoot

    Yes, I know this isn't a TFL shoot but some people have requested notification of the northeastern Pennsylvania ak-47.net car shoot on this board. I am therefore going to do this ONCE and one time only -- check the ak-47.net board in the future for these events. They're generally held May and...

    What is an E&E bag?

    What is the purpose of an "Escape and Evasion" bag? I see these in the Blackhawk Industries catalogs. Is for when things go south in a hurry, you have to dump all your gear -- except for one little bag which contains life's essentials? Justin

    Omega SPS shotguns

    Picture stolen shamelessly from ak-47.net. Looks neat. Supposedly made by Norinco (China), which is not always a good thing. Ghost ring sights are a plus over the comparable Saiga magazine-fed sporters. Unfortunately, the one on the far right with the pistol grip is LEO/military only...

    RIP Mark Penman (laissezfirearm)

    Reports from rec.guns and attackcartoons.com indicate that Mark Penman, the author of the Laissez Firearm web site, recently took his own life. Mark posted infrequently to TFL's shotgun forum under the user name "laissezfirearm". I referred many a person to Mark's excellent page which...

    Ten round drum, MSRP $185

    Just got the latest Shotgun News. I wish I had the ad in front of me, but there is an advertisement for a Sidewinder 10 round drum for the Mossberg pump guns. MSRP is $185 (ouch!). I had not heard of this drum before, only the version that TacStar is supposedly introducing later this year...

    Moral: check your settings before you start loading

    Well I dusted off the old Dillon 550B last night to load ammo for the PSA Shootout (http://www.psashootout.com). I produced ~350 rounds of 155 grain FMJTC .40 S&W reloads using 5.7-5.8 grains of Win 231 in about 2 hours. Bullets were Star Manufacturing 155 grain bullets, brass was once-fired...

    Waterproof oxfords

    The previous thread on Danner boots got me thinking. Some of us are blessed with "casual" dress codes at work instead of business attire. Anyone who has worn a suit can tell you that dress shoes are slippery as all @#$! and don't provide much traction or water resistance. We are "business...

    Leather shooting gloves

    This animal may not exist, but here goes. Anyone know where I can get my hands on black leather shooting gloves with Gore-Tex (or similar waterproof & breathable material) lining -- withOUT insulation? Closest I've seen is Cabela's calfskin shooting gloves -- they are available in black or...

    Benelli's new ghost rings?

    New Benelli ghost rings? The above picture is from Benelli's website. My Benelli M1S90 Tactical is an older import, as it still has the Heckler & Koch import markings. I noticed that the ghost ring "ears" on the rear sight appear different than my gun's sights. I'll see if I can't dig up a...

    Posters (gun-related and more)

    I'm in the process of refurnishing my apartment after a recent move. I threw out a lot of my old stuff when I moved a few months ago, including posters, coffee tables and the like. I've got a good number of poster frames (black metal and pine wood, about 30x40") but no posters. Anyone got any...

    Refinishing/anodizing SIG P226 frame

    Hey all. Just got a used P226 but I need to refinish/anodize the frame. While the vast majority of the finish on the frame looks good, it looks like the previous owner dropped the gun into pavement at one point. Yes, I know I could use touch-up bluing but I hate the way it looks -- so in that...

    My first case failures - .38 Spl

    Brass was from 3D remanufactured rounds (I should have known, eh?), loaded three times by me. Load is 4.8-4.9 grains of Winchester 231 under a 125 grain Star JHP bullet, Remington small pistol primers. These cases did not show any other overpressure signs (primers not flat, no flowback, etc.)...

    Pre-ban Ruger Mini-14 questions

    Hey all, A buddy of mine is going to sell his pre-ban, blue, non-Ranch Mini-14, along with five PMI pre-ban 30 round magazines. His Ruger does not have the factory folding stock, it's a Ramline (?) stock. I believe he's going to use the proceeds to buy a Bushmaster carbine. Our questions...
