So my oldest son is turning 6 in April and I feel he is ready for a Ruger 10/22 of his own. Lord knows he's had more than his fair share of experience with mine and I think he's clearly ready for an autoloader of his own now to go with his bolt action. Problem is we really enjoy our reactive...

Yup, today was my oldest son's 5th birthday and he is now the proud owner of my old rifle Daisy Legacy). He already knew he was getting it, but he still at least acted excited. Of course we went out and tested it out. I made sure the scope was dialed in so he would hit everything he aimed at...

I know this is a forum for firearms, but I think it's safe to say a good majority of TFL members (myself included) are also involved in non-firearm shooting. Such as airguns, archery, knife throwing, etc. I was thinking maybe a section dedicated to them may be a good thing for this forum.

I haven't posted much here, but was going to post in an old thread of mine, but got a message saying the thread was old and asking me if I really feel the need to bump it. Is that a bannable offense or just a simple heads up? I know this is an odd question, but I just don't want to do anything...

Just got a new air rifle and of course I read the manual and see how you are suppose to line up the front sight in between the rear sight. Okay, it's safe to say we all know that already, but there's something that's bugging me. It always shows to position the lined up sights so they are right...

Today is my 20th birthday and I certainly had fun today. Big bore handgun fun that is! Got the day off today and got a surprise wake up call from my older brother and his friends. I knew there was going to be shooting involved because of the tone in his voice. Anyways, he came with his...

So I am just thinking a bit out loud here and wondering is match grade rimfire ammo really as good as it claims to be? I own 2 rimfire rifles and have done LOTS of rimfire shooting and have shot both match and cheapo ammo and have virtually noticed no real change. I normally try an keep my...

So a shooting buddy and I were talking about the Liberator pistol from WW2 and both of us are fans of WW2 era firearms and we were talking about how it would be a cool conversation piece to own. Anyways, our question is that seeing as it's a C&R nowadays, would it still have to be registered as...

My son just had his 3rd birthday last month and I started shooting when I was his age and I think he is ready to start getting some real trigger time because he sees me plink with my friends in my backyard with my airgun and you can just tell from his face he wants to get into it like his daddy...

Ok so last night my brother and I were all alone at home and we both were in my room. All of a sudden I hear a bunch of noise outside and I didn't really think much of it because of all the feral cats that roam around. But the sounds were loud and definitely not something a cat would make. So I...

I was wondering what exactly would need to be done to a coach gun to make it permanently non-operational. The reason I ask is because I been chatting with friends all day about a new movie we are making and we were toying with the idea of having a sawed off coach gun in the movie. One of my...

Well, it's certainly starting to heat up a lot here in my area of Cali and I am going to be getting some spare time due to cut hours at work and I was thinking about getting out and shooting more often. However, I have always had a real problem with shooting on hot days. I'm not going to lie...

I know there's good law abiding citizens out there who hunt with NFA guns, but why don't they ever include hunts like that in hunting shows or magazine? I'm not saying hunting with a FA, but rather varmint hunting with a suppressed rifle or an SBR. I just think it would make a more positive...

Ok, the Pancho Villa thread I made earlier got me thinking a bit that I need to learn more about cartridge history so I don't make myself look like a fool anymore. Does anyone here know of any good sites where I can learn the history of all cartridges?

Yes, moderators this is firearms related. Just a quick question for the history buffs here. What cartridges are being worn in the bandoilers that Pancho Villa is wearing. I can't really tell. From the looks of them it looks like either .45-70 or .444 Marlin.

Just a quick question for all the NFA buffs here who know way more than I do. I popped in a random DVD earlier and it was The Mummy. Not sure if I asked this question a long time ago and didn't get an answer because this certain gun is always on my mind when I see that movie. The machine gun...

Lately I have been toying with the idea of dusting off my 24" fully rifled 12 gauge barrel and get back into long range shotgun shooting. Only problem that I had before was the cost of the ammo. Unlike rifled slugs, I can't find any good bulk deals on sabot slugs and those are what I need. I...

Post pics of your very first rifle. Mine is a Daisy Legacy I got from my older brother when I was about 7.

If the .25ACP cartridge were to just disappear all together? I tend to bring this topic up a lot at other gun sites and the responses are always cool to read. In all fairness, it is a cool little plinking cartridge and probly VERY cheap to shoot if you're a reloader. I just have to wonder why...
