I am at the SHOT Show this weekend and I was looking in the New Products Section. I was also walking the aisles meeting with people who were introducing new product to the market. I manufacture in China and I work with several companies in the Shooting/Hunting Sector already and have been...

I am looking to thin out my handgun collection to make room for some long guns. I have a Kimber Custom Eclipse II which shoots beautifully and I also have an H&K 45 USPC. I love the Kimber as a target gun and it is super accurate. I enjoy shooting target with the gun. I was wondering whether...

I am considering buying a long gun. I kind of like the idea of a lever gun. I am new to long guns and am wondering the relative advantages/disadvantages of bolt over lever or vice/versa. I see most guns in bolt. For my first gun, a semi-auto is not being considered. Thanks in advance for...

Last night after a lot of procrastination (sound familiar, anyone ?), I decided to clean my guns. I usually do this before I travel (I don't know why) and I am off to the Far East tomorrow night. My boys were upstairs on their computers. My seven (and 5/6:) ) year old daughter came down the...

I couldn't help thinking when I saw pictures of the snipers that they didn't look like particularly vicious or deranged people. They looked like ordinary Joes. Of course, to do what they did, they had to be sick people, but... What made them do it? What was their reason? Do you think we will...

I am sure that more than a few of you on this forum can relate to this post. I started shooting last year. My wife was always pretty negative about my shooting and my guns (she having a West Coast upbringing, being Vegetarian and a UC Berkely grad) but I was able to convince her that my having...

Last night I did something I hope was O.K. for my guns. Try as I might, I never was able to get the copper fouling out of my barrels using Hoppes on patches and bore brushes. I bought a bottle of Shooter's Choice (as I was told this was good to get copper fouling out) and was told not to leave...

I am considering selling some of my guns. In your opinion, what is the best way to sell them? NA26

I have a full size Custom Eclipse II. No problems till about 1700 rounds. All of a sudden I began experiencing FTGTB's. I read all the posts on Kimber FTGTB's and the Series II Safety threads and felt lucky that my gun was immune. In speaking to some people on the subject and in some...

2nd Part of Post Why I Stand. As I said, I do not, and I will not, support the Palestinian cause. Why not? I have a number of reasons, and here they are: 1. You have made it clear beyond any shadow of doubt that you intend to destroy Israel and kill or drive out its Jewish population...

THIS IS A LONG ARTICLE. IT MAKES A LOT OF SENSE. IT WILL TAKE ABOUT 5 MINUTES TO READ. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE JEWISH TO UNDERSTAND WHAT IS GOING ON Outstanding Open Letter A LETTER TO THE PALESTINIANS FROM NEW ZEALAND An outstanding piece of writing from a man in New Zealand who claims...

I searched the forums for Hydra Shok's reliability to feed in semi-automatics and didn't come up with much (which is strange because I do recall seeing some threads on this in the past). My questions is this: I see a lot of people extolling the virtues of Hydra Shoks. I bought some and am...

Please check this out. I was deepy saddened to see this, however not surprised that it happened in California. http://www.frontpagemagazine.com/guestcolumnists2002/zoloth05-13-02.htm I do not know what else to say except I am disgusted. NA26

Works perfectly and is accurate as anything I have ever shot (once you learn the gun). Feels great and looks sweet. Easy as anything to clean and is a perfect carry size. Price tag is right. Could I ask for more? NA26

Saw this thread on another Forum (1911) and thought it was interesting, entertaining and funny. What does your user name mean? There are lots of unusual handles here and I would love to know how they came about. I am sure the stories are worth sharing. Here's what I posted on the other...

The U.N. is backing off of it's demand to investigate the alleged massacre in Jenin, supposedly due to Israeli refusal to let them in. I don't blame the Israelis for not wanting to play against a stacked deck. There are reports of the PA digging up a poor man who was 2 years dead to add to the...

I took new my CE II apart twice to clean it since I got it. I had a rough time getting the recoil spring plug back into the slide and the bushing down on top of it to get the gun back together. I finally managed it but I sweated a river and took a lot of time doing it. How many of you are...

Just got a new S & W 686. I have been shooting a borrowed revolver for the first few months. I'm taking it down to the range for the first time on Wednesday. On semi-automatic guns I read that they need to be broken in by firing a few hundred rounds through them. Do revolvers need this break...

I did a search on gun cleaning on TFL and I got a lot of good info. I am looking for websites that break down into basics what's needed to do in order to clean semi-autos and revolvers, real basic. Sites with pictures or drawings of the parts of the guns, the names of the parts and how to...
