So I own my own home (fiance and I) and we have 2 roommates. These guys are great friends, people I've known since my freshman year of school and trust completely. They both know I have guns, love guns, carry, and will defend my home by any means necessary. I've educated them on why I lock my...

So I thought I'd submit an event for the review of the forum, let the guys here Armchair Quarterback and tell me if I done good or overreacted. Wednesday, 24 DEC 2008 at approximately 8:30PM. I'm exiting my girlfriends house, about to take (4) friends with me to go look at Christmas lights...

So I'm debating the idea of joining the Nat'l Guard in my state. Is there anyone who can speak from direct experience (ranking NCO, former Guard'smen) who can answer the following: Will being a Weekend Warrior in my state's National Guard affect, regulate, remove, hinder or otherwise screw up...

So a Scheels just opened here in Reno, and it's pretty neat because it's the first store with all the rifles out in the open, ready to fondle. I handled one of the new BAR's with a chrome looking action, and it felt smooth and super easy. I can slide it with my pinky for heaven's sake!!! Made...

Just saw it. She's at a range with several enlisted men, plinking away in full auto with an M16 and some sort of red dot apparatus.... Comments about accuracy are very positive from the range officer, and her attitude shows she's not afraid of it at all, very into the experience. There is a...

Hi all, I'm looking for advice to cleaning the front of the cylinders as well as the angle right above the entrance to the barrel. I've been trying a nylon brush with some hopps on it, but it doesn't remove what appears to be a set in "stain" in the metal. Any thoughts?

I started laughing about this when I heard it on Fox News Radio. New York actually wants to pay $200 for each "illegal" gun you turn in (apparently including BB guns according to the radio). Sounds to me like they're positive that the Heller decision will affect them and want to get guns off...

Ok, maybe not the exact fastest, but pretty darn quick. The catcher is he trained himself to do it with the weapon upside down in a holster. :cool: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RwhLpvyXO1M

So I'm fairly disappointed in the lack of support for left handed bolt action rifles. I understand my segment of the population is very small, so demand is low. It just sucks that neat, affordable (aka cheap) rifle/scope combos like the Mossberg 4x4 or some of the Savages aren't available left...

Hey guys, I just picked up a New Glock 27 in .40SW, and I can't insert a fully loaded 9 round magazine with the slide closed. When open, it'll lock forward and grab the round, no problems. But when I tried to top off the mag, it took quite a bit of force to re-insert the mag. If I insert the...

Any thoughts for running sub-forums for each state? Something similar to Glocktalk's site. I've tried using the one there, but know that this board offers so much more (number and quality of members) that I'd like to be able to locate locals on here. Local forums can be used to coordinate...

So I went out yesterday to test out the new slide I had purchased for my G17 frame (.357 Sig is FUN, I don't care who you are :p ), and took my little snub out with me. I've only put about 50 rounds through her prior to this, and wanted to test function a bit more. I was disappointed... After...

Theory: A Glock 17 9mm and the Glock 22 .40AUTO appear to have the exact same dimensions on paper. 7.32in long and 1.18in wide, according to their website. I've also noticed that some 'value priced' after market magazines claim to be for 9mm/.40 cal Glock. Question: Can I put a G22 slide...

I'm sort of unclear on what exactly I can have shipped directly to a private address. I'm under the impression I could have every part of a firearm shipped to me direct, unless it is part of the chamber. For example, I can have a pistol frame w/o slide, an AR-15 lower, etc. shipped to me. But...

I have a friend, let's call him 321yerfj, who wanted to find out if a .38 Special could fire a .357 Magnum, but he's not sure if it's a stupid question or not. :confused: lol. Ok, so I'm curious if it's possible. In my head, unless the .357 Magnum cylinder is longer than the .38 Special, it...

Thought I was smart enough to take the side off my revolver (SW Model 637), and... well... Apparently I'm not. Of course, I had a small pin pop out... Using this diagram, I've identified it as a "hammer block", #034 In my searching, I've found this picture as well, and it doesn't have...

Hello, Got a couple questions regarding one of these that I own. FWIW, it is capable of magnum conversion and has a barrel that slides back to absorb recoil... not sure if that is standard for all models. -How can I tell the difference between a Belgium made or a Japanese made? -I've seen...

With all the misinformation we can receive from the internet, I decided to ask the candidate a question regarding issues that concern me: firearms policies. I asked for specific answers regarding: CCW permits, hi capacity magazines, sportsman's rights, pistol laws and rifle laws. I received...

Hey all, I've been noodling this through for a few days, and not coming up with much on my own based on my lack of experience. Among the list of rifles and other ccw pieces I want, I've got an itch for a "range queen". Something not for carry, but rather something that is a bit unique and...

(TYPO: Option 2 should read "Gun ready") Hey folks, This is a response to two threads, one going in this forum about interrupting a robbery in progress, and one in the general discussion regarding a woman with children being forced at knife point into her vehicle. I voted in the robbery...
