I am helping a friend with a special gift for her significant other. She wants to get him a Steyr Aug type rifle. From what I have found there seem to be three oprions: 1 A real Aug for insane money. 2 MSAR STG 556 3 LPD AXR From reading here and other places, I am understanding...

I am going to do some refinishing of a few of my rifles. I want a really tough durable finish, probably in a matte black. I know there are a lot of choices out there. I was wondering if anyone has any preferences or experience with any. My main desire is for durability and all weather...

Anyone used one? I was at the store yesterday, and saw a couple. One had a rail and the other did not. They looked very nice, and were pretty well fit. Very nice trigger, too. I was just windering if anyone knew how they are. I probably wont be getting one any time soon, at $1000, but they...

Well, I am very proud. This was the first year for my 9 and 7 year old sons. They both took and passed hunter education, and practiced with the Mossberg ATR 100 Super Bantam in .243 that I got for them. I took the 7 year old out first, and after about 3 hours a small group of whitetails...

Well, this year will be my two oldest boys' first deer hunt. They are 7 and 9, and are familiar with firearms, and have and shoot a Henry Mini-Bolt .22 quite well. I am trying to decide the best route for taking a deer. Of my rifles the most appropriate one is a Winchester Model 70...

Ok. I bought some surplus ammo for my .308. I don't know what country it is from, but it is in a green "battle pack" with a lable that says "140 RD 7.62X51 BALL M1A2." They are in cardboard boxes of 20 rnds each. The headstamp does not have the NATO mark, it just has "12" and "84." Now...

http://www.militaryspot.com/classifieds/showproduct.php?product=618 I have never heard of this one, but it looks like it is well made. I did some searching, and they seem to be on a bunch of airsoft sites.

Anybody have night vision experience? I am starting to try an educate myself on the pros and cons of the different types. I have never used or even looked through any at all, and know nothing at this point. I think I want a monocular type. It will be used for patrol at night for things...

Ok, I know that the EO Tech is the top of the evolutionary tree for red dot sights. I agree with that. But, the Bushnell is almost identical, and looks the same when looking through it. However, the Bushnell is a fair bit cheaper. I am looking for a sight to put on my patrol carbine for...

I am considering the Streamlight M3 or M3X with a rail adapter for my duty 870 as an alternative to the Surefire integral forend. My idea is that I could then carry a fairly small light on my belt, and be able to use on both my shotgun and Glock, plus it could be used alone as a small light...

I need to get a light for my patrol shotgun, a Remington 870. I would love to hear any preferences you all have. I like the idea of the integral forends like the Surefire. They are spendy though! But I want something good.

I have never used one before, but I need one for my patrol shotgun and have to buy it myself. It's an 870 Police model. Are they all designed the same, or are there different types? I want a good one that will not want to tangle all up or be restrictive and that I can quickly drop the...

A friend has a Kimber full size .45 ACP. He has found that if he cleans it the night before range day, it works fine. But, if it has been a week or so since cleaning it, (no shooting) it will only feed the last round about halfway. You can push on the slide and it will chamber the rest of the...

Seen one? Used one? I like the way they look and I like how thick the blade is. They "appear" to be very rugged. If anyone has any knowledge about them I would love to hear it. Mostly about the folders.

I think it turned out pretty cool. My dad made up this little clip. We were visiting, and all the cousins were there and wanted to shoot my son's Henry. I told him he would have to recite the safety rules to them, and then I gave them all a "why we follow the rules, and what can happen if you...

This is just too cool! I did have another link to a longer video showing it firing multiple rounds while flying, but that was on a site that turned out to not be very pg. But this one gives a decent idea. http://www.guzer.com/videos/rc_chopper_gun.php

Ok. I argued with a friend to no end on this. He just had to have an M-4gery. And, it had to have a 14.5" barrel, with permanent flash hider. And I see it all the time. Everyone wants the 14.5" barrel. WHY???? My argument is, you still have to have a total length of 16", so why give up...

Just talked to a buddy I used to work with and he is looking at an AR. He's asking me if it is a good price, and I thought I'd get some extra input. It is a Bushmaster with a flat top upper. He said it has a heavy 22" free floated stainless fluted barrel. He thinks it was a JT barrel. It has a...

I was talking to a guy with the sheriffs dept here, and I was asking him about what kind of gun they can carry. He said they can carry pretty much anything they want, if it passes inspection by their firearms guy. But get this! He said most guys just carry what they are issued, because if you...
