(Mods, move this if needed) In all the years I have been shooting ARs, I have never had, nor seen what happened to me today. I was at the range, using both handloaded and store bought Ammo and after burning though about 2 or 3 dozen rounds, I hear a 'pop' when I pulled the trigger. Crap, bad...

Happy Mother's Day to all the moms on TFL! Last nite, after we got the kids settled in, the wife and I were lying in bed and I said to her that since today is Mother's Day, we (meaning our kids and I) planned on letting her choose where we were going to take her as a present. She asked if she...

Took my daughter up to the County Clerk's office this morning to drop off her pistol permit application package. She asked the clerk how long it would take to process and we both almost hit the floor when the clerk told us minimum, 5-6 months! I asked her why so long and her response was a...

So, who went to the gun show at the New York State Fairgrounds in Syracuse NY this past weekend? How bout some 'reviews'? We (me, wife and kids) went on Saturday and personally, even though we had a good time, I felt that almost everything, especially ammunition, was way over-priced. There was...

Over the past week, the Letters to the Editor and Blog page of my local newspaper has been burning with letters and blogs about private gun ownership due to an upcoming gu show (this week-end) here in Central New York. There have been posts in favor of ownership and the usual anti-gun garbage...

Is tracer ammo legal for a civilian to own or not? I was told by a friend that if I get caught using the tracer rounds I have here in upstate NY (ordered em legally from Cheaper Than Dirt), I can kiss all of my firearms good bye, get slapped with an un-nice fine and probably end up being a...

A few days ago, my daughter's fiance Billy asked if I would be interested in a .50cal. black powder rifle that someone gave his grandfather about a year ago. The rifle is in excellent shape, and looks like it has never been fired (Billy's grandfather never shot it). After looking at and...

Haven't been around in a while, so hopefully, this is the right board to ask about this. This morning, I opened up my gun safe after about a month of not being in it. Upon inspection of my guns, I noticed 3 of my rifles have developed some surface rust/discoloration on the barrels and...

Tonight, I was watching the movie "Tremors 4 - The legand Begins" and in one of the final scenes, Hiram Gummer (played by Michael Gross), grandfather of Tremors Burt Gummer (also Michael Gross) is armed with a very large strange looking shotgun, which he calls a "Punt Gun". This bizarre...

I just came back from Boston, MA. on a 12 hr roadtrip. On the way into Boston, coming in along the I-90 (Mass. Pike), on the right hand side (I believe it was in the Beacon Hill District) there was a large gun store off the highway I believed was called B & D Reloaders. The sign on the place...

The last few days up here in CNY have been like springtime, so I took advantage of the 60* weather and spent the morning at the range, as did about 6 other club members. Things were going good, we were all playing a little game we play, "Shooter's Poker", where we tack up a few decks of cards...

(If this is the wrong board to ask, my apologies in advanced) A good question came up at the club today that none of us could answer. Let's pretend for a moment and say a nation-wide federal handgun ban was passed into law next week. Would such a ban include LEOs from carrying handguns also...

Had to share my afternoon with ya'all: This afternoon, the wife and I met w/ our realtor to look at a really nice piece of property on the outskirts of our town, 92 acres and a former farm. Asking price is in the low $50s and it is just ideal for where we are looking for to build our new home...

Been seeing alot of adds for this new chemical out called Lifeliner. It is a nano-ceramic fusion gun bore liner made by Otis Technologies and is supposed to be one of the best products out there for protecting and prolonging the life of a heavily fired rifle barrel. Fom what I read, it is a...

My 8 yr old son has a .22 cal Keystone Cricket rifle that he has, over the past summer, become very proficient with using the iron sights. Now, he wants to learn to shoot using a scope. At one time, Keystone made a bracket for mounting a scope on thiese rifles, but, according to 2 dealers I...

I just picked up the new edition (Nov. 2008) of Soldier Of Fortune magazine, and on pages 42/43, there is a photo of a Russian soldier sitting on top of a Russian BTR (armored transporter) guarding 3 blindfolded Georgian soldiers. The Russian is holding what appears to be a suppressed AK-47. The...

Was chatting with my bro-in-law online tonight about the current state of things and as usual, our conversation turned to guns and gun laws. He presented a good question that made me think: What would happen if the Federal Gov't. "took over" the gun laws and instead of having a million...

I am currently in the market for a new hunting rifle and am ivery nterested in the DPMS LR series and the Remington R-15. I can't find much written material on them except for articles that tend to 'sell' the rifles. What I am looking for is info from anyone who already owns one and their...

This afternoon, I went to a local nation wide Pro Shop (who's name I won't mention) that specializes in hunting and fishing gear to check out the new Remington R-15 and the DPMS Panther LR Series of AR platformed hunting rifles. I approached the salesman behind the firearms counter, who was an...
