I have a relative that purchases a used Colt 1911 and just shot it for the first time today. I warned him that the gun looked like it had been tinkered with because it had a non-factory trigger and a full length guide rod. He was aware that when he got it, it would have to be test fired and...

I had to retire a family 16gauge O/U after breaking a part in it and going through a lot of headaches to get a gunsmith to machine a new part for it that I'm afraid of having to go through the same ordeal again on a gun that technically isn't my own. I had a Remington 870 that went from a duck...

I picked this up to teach my nephew how to shoot and was somewhat annoyed at the play in the rear sight. This thing is accurate, but I had to take a pair of plyers to the rear sight to adjust the windage, but the most annoying thing is the rear sight will still flop around. Are there...

You don't want to carry a gun with a manual safety, but 7 out of the last 10 Glock CCW I saw at the range were carrying in a Blackhawk Serpa. I understand the need for locking a pistol in a holster, especially for those of us taking Carbine courses where we're rolling around on the ground, but...

There was a shooting mishap at a local club and we're organizing a support day at the range because this range has had problems with anti-gun groups in the region. I know the NRA has been directly involved with this, but we need more people to come out and support the club. We're hoping to...

I'm taking a few Carbine classes this year, but I'm too poor to buy another Carbine for training. I'd have to bring a different caliber carbine which would bring in other issues. I was thinking about getting the parts to fill one of these since the chances of me breaking something else besides...

I'm working on a magazine design project and need some help in identifying the most common semi-auto pistols in use right now. Only semi-autos please. What are they?

For those of you that are actually registered as Libertarians, have any of you considered registering as a Republican so you can vote in the Primaries for Ron Paul? The reason I ask, I know an enormous number of people that have left the Democrat and Republican Party as far as voter...

I picked up a used Sig 228 with night sights about 3yrs ago and I just pulled it out of the safe and noticed it's at about 10% of what it should be. Sometime in the last few months it died out. Can these be re-done or do they get trashed?

You know... one of those pistols that the little flag pops out of and it says BANG on it? I had one when I was a kid and want one again. I want one for a party coming up and for self defense, especially if a 5yr old tries to rob me. Seriously... where can I get a nice one that doesn't look fake?

Just got another email from Ammoman saying Wolf ammo and others are going up in price. When will the prices level off, or do you predict an actual crisis in the industry? Am I an alarmist? I don't think so, Federal and Wolf ammo has going up 100-200% and some local Police Departments are...

http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/pittsburghtrib/news/breaking/s_504344.html Is that a terroristic threat? I think that was in bad taste and not the way to represent us. I do think we can/should warn Politicians about the consequences of passing UnConstitutional laws, but there are better...

I recently got back two of my 1911s from my gunsmith and both of them are hitting about 10inches low at 25yds (proven with a rest) I'm not too happy with how much drop there is any I'm going to send it back to the smith to get more appropriate sights. Right now I have a .340 rear sight and a...

I'm interested in picking one up, but I have heard absolutely ZERO about them. Are they worth the money or should I just buy something that's not an AR variant?

I use to think it was 9mm, but after talking to all of the neighboring County LEO in my area, NONE of them are using 9mm. Most of them are .40 and .357 Sig. Does anyone have any Stats on this?

I've fired them before but didn't really have much interest in them. I've read of some durability issues with them, but I'd like to hear if its been fixed.

I haven't been over here in awhile, but I thought I'd post this here since this was the board I learned so much about shooting and reloading. The Mini 14 does have a flaw in the barrel design, but I never missed what I am aiming at even when I heat up the barrel. I've often enjoyed reading...

There is a gun shop near me that is selling this gun powder at a discounted price because they are closing down. I've never used it, but I have limited knowledge of these powders and I need to make a decision on this deal asap. What powders are good for .223 and .308 out of these options...
