I recently picked up a Raven Concealment Phantom holster for my XD 40 to attend a training class. I'm planning to go back for some low light classes in the near future but need a light for the gun and a holster to carry everything. Unfortunatly Raven doesn't seem to make anything light...

I recently picked up a Raven Concealment Phantom holster for my 4" XD 40 to attend a tactical pistol class, they wouldn't allow anything with "push button" for the first class. Must say that I'm surprised at how much I like it, far more comfortable than I thought it would be. I'm planning on...

another pic with the bayonet in place

I understand that, but when I look at the gun, the front sight post appears to be attached to a "sleeve" that is pinned in place on the barrel. About 2 inches back from the front sight post I can see marks from a grinder that was used to remove the bayonet mounting lug, both the front sight...

This may seem like an odd question, but I am wondering if it is possible/legal to swap the "front sight block" on an SKS to mount a bayonet. And if so were can I get a replacement "sight block" that still has the bayonet lug on it (the one on my gun was removed).

I just got done trying to load my first batch of .308 rounds and there is a major issue that stopped me in my tracks. When seating the bullets into the cases the bullet fits so loosely that I can remove it by hand. I've taken measurements of the inside diameter of several cases which come to...

I need help. I recently started reloading and just finished batch of .223 Remington. I am using CFE 223 powder (26.5 gn) and 50 gn Nosler Ballistic Tip Varmint bullets. The load data I have says the OAL should be 2.210, I have maxed out the adjustment for my seater die (I am using Lee dies)...

I don't know whether or not anyone else has seen this, but I found it to be quite interesting so I thought I would share it. I have been wanting to see someone put an XD through its paces like many Glocks have been, to prove or disprove the idea of the XD being a wanna be Glock. I found this...

I have been browsing through some of my old threads from a year or two ago and came across something that kind of interested me. I had made a post asking about a good deal on a Benelli. While reading through it there was a person that made a comment that I should look into some of the Stoeger...

What would you guys value a civilian legal Colt M4 at? A guy I work with has one that was given to him to settle a debt before he moved up here about three or four weeks ago. He says he has no use for it and therefore no desire to keep it. And he's willing so it to me for the amount he was...

I finally got my 9mm Cougar to the range.:D It wasn't as long of a range session as I would have liked (only put 200 rounds through it), but I got a good feel for the new Cougar. It seems to be pretty accurate (kept the shots within a few inches at about 15 yards), and pretty consistent...

I was talking with a guy I work with last night who said he would never own or even shoot a Beretta or anything using a similar design. His reasoning was that the slides on most Berettas are prone to breaking in half, which would send the back half of the slide into your face causing sever...

I'm trying to dig up some personal info on a Smith & Wesson Sigma (9mm) for a friend of mine. I basically want to know whether or not they're a good gun as far as accuracy, reliability, and overall quality. My friend knows a guy that he works with that recently moved to Kansas from Iowa (were...

I've been talking about getting a semi auto handgun for quite some time now and finally kicked myself into gear and got one. I picked up a 9mm Stoeger Cougar at a gun show in Wichita KS this past weekend for $375 (new in box with tax included). I think I'm going to be very happy with it...

A friend of mine recently told me about a new handgun that is bieng produced by Stoeger called the Cougar 8000. I looked it up on their website and it looks like it should be a very nice gun, especially for the price they're suggesting ($370 new). I don't know how long it's ben available or if...

Thanks to the House and Senate Kansas is now the 47 state to have some kind of CCW law if I remember the news article correctly. Which causes me to ask the following question. Would a 45 ACP XD be a decent carry gun as far as concealment? And if so what would be the best method (hip, behind...

My handgun debate over an XD or a 1911 is over, Springfield Armory now has a 45 ACP in their XD line. But I am curious as to how much they cost. I know the have come out with them quite recently (the gun shop here in town can only estimate them to be between $500 and $600), they actually tried...

I have a Simmons scope mounted on a Savage Model 10 .308 Win which seems to have a very short eye relief. It occasionaly feels as if I have to put my eye right up against the scope to look through it. It had hit me above the eye twice and whacked a friend of mine on the bridge of his nose today...

I just got my Remington 1100 out for bird season last week and noticed a serious problem. My dad has had it stored in a closet he has in his shop [which is not the best place for it obviously], and it has developed a large amount of small rust spots around the chamber on both sides. He had a...

I live in Salina KS and am planing to buy an AK variant in the near future. I am curious as to whether or not anyone prefers the synthetic furniture compared to the wood furniture that is normaly installed on the AK's. I myself am a slight fan of the synthetic furniture simply because I...
