    Springfield XD .45 Compact

    I hate to add another XD thread but I just got my new compact .45 today and I am blown away by it. The ergonomics are superb, like it belongs in my hand and the ambidextrous magazine release is a plus. To anyone that is trying to pick between an XD compact .45 or a Glock 30 the XD gets my vote...

    Beretta 92 Problem?

    I was function testing my Beretta after I cleaned it today. I pulled the slide back on a fully inserted empty mag. The slide stayed back. I hit the slide release and the slide went forward along with the hammer. The safety was off and I did not touch the trigger. I did the same thing again and...

    .45 shoots through hotel

    This is a pretty crazy video taken by a friend while they were in Chicago over the 4th. Apparently there was a gang shooting a few blocks down from their hotel room. It's not exciting but it definatly illustrates the energy of a slow moving heavy projectile. video

    CMP High Power Shooters?

    I shot my first high power match last September and despite my poor shooting :rolleyes: I enjoyed it greatly. The range master let me use one of the club guns, a Bushy HBAR. I finally have the time to get back into shooting and I plan on getting involved in some matches this spring. Right now I...

    Russian SKS: Deal or No Deal?

    I just picked up a Russian SKS from the local pawn for $260 out the door. My understanding is that it is a very late production '55 or '56. It is stamped with a star on the left side of the receiver. The receiver cover only has the rearsenal stamp [/] on it. The bore is bright and the rifling...

    Remington 552 .22LR takedown

    I have a Remington 552 Speedmaster .22LR. This nice little rifle hasn't been cleaned in years and is completely filthy. I found the takedown instructions here. The instructions say that the barrel can be removed from the receiver. For the life of me I can not figure out how this is done. Does...

    800 yard target gun on a college budget

    I am fortunate enough to have a great piece of land where I can safely shoot 800 yard shots. The only problem is I am a poor college kid with a yugo SKS and a Tikka M595 in .223 with a 1 in 12 twist. Both are GREAT guns but I will never put a scope on my SKS and I can't shoot heavy .223 rounds...

    SKS gas shut off valve

    Alright, does anyone know if the yugo SKS model 59 has the same gas shut off valve as the model 59/66? I want to get one or the other while they're still cheap. I don't particularly care for the extra grenade launcher and sight, but the gas valve is interesting. Does anyone have any experience...
