I recently gave away my only 30/06 rifle; a Remington 700BDL. Now, I'm thinking I need to replace it. Was offered a Remington 700BDL "Mountain" rifle yesterday for $499.00. I kind of like the looks of this model but have read about some problems involving the detachable magazine. My question...

It seems odd to me, but I tend not to carry what I shoot. My IDPA guns of choice are the 1911, Glock, S&W 3913. Most of the time I find myself carrying a Colt Cobra with a speed strip reload. The Colt, with Barami hip grips just seems to work well with all clothing choices, while the other guns...

I've been trying to think of a way to make this post firearms related. Am not sure that I can, except to say we all hope that our lives are long and fulfilling; and that we can enjoy our hobbies for a good long time. With that rather weak premise stated, I will continue. Guys; get a physical...

I recently readjusted my Dillion 550B to reload 200 gr lead swc in .45acp. Have checked the seating depth,case belling, powder charge, changed out the bullet seater plug to the swc configuration. Everything appears to be correctly set up. Problem is, on about every fifth round, the seater die...

There were more product recalls announced today. As I understand it several million infant cribs are involved as are Barbie doll sunglasses. It strikes me that with the government's eagerness to save us from any harm, we shooters might be able to use the system. We all know that shooting can...

I have a Colt AR with a 1/7 twist barrel. Would like to try soft points in it but have read they don't work well with that fast of a spin. Have any of you found any loaded soft point ammunition which does work in your 1/7 twist Barreled rifle?

I've looked at various "for sale" sites on the web, Shotgun News, and Leupold's web site; no luck. Am looking for the value of a Leupold M-8, 8 power scope in near new condition. It has a dot reticle and an adjustment on the front of the tube for parallex. The seller wants $200.00; make take...

My step son is an outstanding, hard working thirty-something year old family man. If I were to point to an individual I'd like my biological sons to emulate, it would be Jeff. That said, Jeff wants a "skinning knife" for Christ- mas. He told his mother he would rather she let me select it...

I am having problems with MecGar brand 1911 .45acp magazines. To date four of them have cracked at the left rear top where the metal curves over the follower. This has only happened with MecGar mags, but has happened to four of the six I own. All of them are seven rounders. I've found the...

There is a thread on http://www.glocktalk.com about the legal problems Cor-Bon is now facing. Log on to G.T., then link the "Non-Glocking" forum. It appears BATF is at it again.

On November 22nd, the Tennessee State Supreme Court ruled that off duty LEOs do not have a responsibility to enforce the laws. The ruling came out of a case involving an off duty LEO acting as private security for A drug store. In its finding, the court wrote" "...We can find no corresponding...

I'm beginning to plan which three classes to take next year. One I'm considering the the three day Advanced Combative Pistol/Shotgun class taught by Gabe Suarez. Have any of you taken this class? What is your assessment? Thanks.

A couple of month ago I asked for, and received permission from Rich Lucibella to tap into TFL as a resource for my radio programs. One of those programs is "The World of Ducks Unlimited". It's a three minute daily show heard on some 340 radio stations nationwide. Each January I do an essay...

It's a little after 4 a.m. In an hour I'll meet my hunting partner and we'll spend the mornng deer hunting on his property. At around noon, we'll load the duck blind onto the boat and get it set out for the upcoming season. Later this afternoon we'll head back to my place and deer hunt some...

Since the Green Party's message is resonating with between two and eight per cent of the electorate, I decided to read the party's platform. If you can find an hour to spare, I would encourage you to do the same. At the risk of offending any Greens on this board, I must say what they have in...

During my morning radio program today, I mentioned that Democrats might want to wait until Wednesday to vote due to the predicted long lines. It was a joke. My more liberal listeners were not amused. Even the Election Commissioner called...she Wanted to set the record straight that election day...

I notice some interest about Hi-Powers on this board. I would like to get my old Inglis HP set up for IDPA/carry. It's currently at the 'smith getting a fiber optic front sight and a wider rear notch. I have removed the mag disconnector to lighten the trigger-( I know about the potential...

I was checking out the sight configurations at yesterday's IDPA match. No black on black sights to be found. It wasn't too many years ago that plain black was THE preferred set up by most of the gun writers..Colonel Cooper, Elmer Keith, Skeeter Skelton,and others wrote at length about their...

Several of us went together and purchased primers in bulk. I just took delivery of my share (ten thousand). It turns out they are CCI. As we know, Dillon recommends against the use of CCI primers. Problem is, I can't return them. I've searched the archives here and have read posts from those...
