    When I buy a new gun, is it registered?

    I'm a little confused about this one. If I go buy and new AK-47 from a dealer and fill out the paper work for the background check, does the government now know that I own an AK-47? I know the FFL keeps records, but do the feds keep a record of what models I have with serial numbers? If it came...

    Is anyone else just exhausted?

    With all this gun/magazine ban Crazinness going on, I just can't get away from it. It's all over the news, all over Facebook, and the rest of the Internet. Everywhere I go I overhear someone talking about it or someone is trying to talk to me about it. I know we can't let our gaurd down and we...

    The 'what are you reloading today?' thread

    Though this would be a fun idea. Everyone can just post up what they've been reloading. Maybe someone is loading the same oddball caliber you are! I'll start it off. I'm just cleaning and sorting .40 brass. Boring...

    How do you sort 40 brass?

    I've been picking up my brass for a while now. I have a box here, a half box there, bags of stuff I found on the range ect. With my revolver brass I can keep all of it so I keep it in the original box and reload them 50 at a time and put them back in the original box with load data writen on...

    Underwood ammo?

    Someone suggested it in another thread and I checked it out. Their prices are really low if this is premium ammo. They have 500s&w cheaper than anyone I've found and I might get some SD ammo for my 40 also. Anyone have any experience with them?

    Muzzle flash pic thread!

    I'm sure I'm not alone here when I say that I love big muzzle flash! Post up some of your pics. I know some of you have em, or some cool ones you've found on line. I'll start it off, more cylinder gap flash than muzzle but there sure is some fire! S&W 500

    Old school range report- cobray m11/9

    I've always wanted a "Mac" style gun since I was a kid, I always thought they looked cool in the old hood movies and such. I picked one up at a LGS used for $340 Friday. I didn't know much about them but I guess they don't have the best reputation. I figured it would just be a fun range toy and...

    Opinions of desert eagles from big bore shooters

    I'm think of adding a DE in 50ae to my arsenal. Looking for opinions on reliability, shootabilty, and reloading. As far as shooting goes, how do they compare to magnum revolvers? I have a 500 and I can shoot it just fine, I've also shot 44s with no problem, but never a big semi auto.

    S&W 500- shot some ballistic board, won a bet.

    Yesterday my friend had some 3/4" ballistic board. His dad bet me $100 my 500 wouldn't shoot through it. I said I'd bet him $5 since it stopped a round from my AK last time and I had $5 in my pocket. I believe the rounds were magtech 440gr semi wadcutters @ 1600 IIRC. All five went through an...

    Which wildcat(s) do you wish would catch on?

    Any oddball Calibers that you wish had caught on so you could justify buying one? What caliber do you want AND what gun do you want it in? For me I like firepower, which is one reason I lean towards revolvers, but I'd like to have it in some semi autos also. 460 Rowland- since 45s are pretty...

    What state has the best gun laws?

    I know they all suck(gun laws), but I was just wondering where the best place for a gun nut to live would be. I live in south west MO, and our gun laws are pretty good. My town has 3 class free dealers, we can carry loaded guns in our car with no permit, we can get a CCW permit, we can open...

    For those that carry FMJ in their 380

    What are some "premium" FMJ 380 rounds? Most of the stuff I see is just cheap target ammo which has always worked fine but I'd like to carry some good stuff. Since I'm carrying an lcp, I'm only interested in non +p ammo.

    Put a Mac 11 on layaway

    Yesterday I put a used cobray M11/9 on layaway. I remembered seeing these on old hood movies and I just always thought they were cool. Does anybody else have one of these or any Mac style guns? Any problems I should watch for or expect? I just got this gun for a range toy and for my collection...

    Machining for moonclips?

    Where is the best place to have my cylinder machined for moon clips and buy the moon clips? I've found two different places one milled them and one turned them on a lathe. I'm looking to have this done on a S&W 500 and possibly an SP101.

    Cheapest 40 bullets.

    Where can I find em? I'm looking to buy 500 of them for plinking and action pistol competition so precision accuracy or hollow points are not needed.

    GP100 vs blackhawk accuracy

    Is either gun more accurate than the other? I want both but I'm trying to decide which to get first. Also Which has the strongest frame?

    Before I proceed...

    This is my first day reloading. I'm loading up some hornady 158gr JHP 38s. I'm to the bullet seating step and my brass length was right and my OAL is right but the bullet isn't down to the "ribbed" part where I thought it should be. Also I have a lee 3 die set that has no crimp die. It gave...

    Will you buy a gun without trying the trigger?

    Well its happend twice this week, once at a gun show and once at a sporting goods store. I've been looking at a gun(both 1911s) thinking about a buying them, and I ask "mind if I try the trigger?" guy at the gun show doesn't dry fire so it was a no(maybe provide snap caps?) and at the sporting...

    Padded shooting gloves

    I'm wanting to send more rounds down range with my 500 before the recoil gets to me. Would padded shooting gloves help much? Can anyone recommend some good shooting gloves?
