Hello Everyone, It's been a while. I was discussing with a friend of mine the circumstances of the Oslo attacks. I said that anyone who wants to discuss the merits and detriments of the Second Amendment can line up at my door: A responsible CCW license holding citizen could have saved...

Howdy, I did a search already but only found good info on 1:9 twist barrels. I have a 6920 Colt AR with a 1:7 twist in a 16" barrel Please recommend a recipe. Powder? Primer? Bullet? Thanks much. I appreciate it. :)

Looking for a little help here. I'm down to two on the progressive press front: Dillon 550B or Hornady Lock N Load. I'll add that I would love to ALSO have a Harrell press dedicated to rifle, BUT my checkbook has other ideas :rolleyes: Soooooo...I can only afford one progressive loader for...

My friend has a Ruger M77 in 7mm. He has had it glass-bedded professionally and also tuned and lightened the trigger professionally. He has a Leupold Vari-X III scope on it and has kept the rifle clean and cased since he purchased it new. He cannot get the rifle to group better than 2-2.5 MOA...

I already have a Colt 6920. I like it OK, but honestly I'm not that impressed. It's fussy about ammunition and not all that accurate (3 - 3.5 MOA off the bench). It's light and a well-built AR but I'm looking for another 556/223 as my go-to-guy. I like the trigger on the Sig and I like the...

Looking for a good long range scope and I like Nikon - I feel they are underrated. To that end, I'm looking at the Buckmaster and the Monarch but I am not finding much literature to help me distinguish between the two. I know that you get what you pay for, but a lot of people swear by the...

Like the title suggested, I'm thinking of putting a Knoxx stock on a Remington 700 (possibly a Sendero). My hope is to reduce recoil to the point that I can practice with it enough to improve acccuracy over loooooong distances. At this point, ten shots of .300 win mag and the bad habits creep...

Does anyone know a site or resource for decoding the 'features' on the sides of S&W boxes that come with the revolvers. As an example: 06-A2-MD-GR-BF-SW-SR-FS-CS-ZS on the side of the box of my new 686. Some of them I can figure out: SB=square butt, RB=round butt, RR=red ramp, but some are...

Does anyone know the type of revolver that Clarence (Christian Slater) uses in this movie? I have tried imdb but they don't have it. I used to own it so I would try myself but an envious roommate made off with it. From memory, it looks like a full-frame Smith in 2-3" barrel length. Any...

Looking for experiences to help me decide my next purchase. It will likely be my only .380 and I've narrowed it down to these two. I like the Walther's trigger but the Sig 'points' really well. The Walther is a little more compact but the Sig has a nice feel. This will be exclusively for...

I'm currently entranced with a 6" Colt Anaconda in .45 Colt. I've never shot the round and I'm wondering what you all think of it. Should I hold out until a .44 mag comes along? Thanks

I'm looking for new grips for my new stainless S&W .41 revolver :D I've seen several examples of cocbolo and like some of them. I've also looked at some kingwood grips (and really like them) but only in catalogs (where I presume only the finest examples are shown). Does anyone out there...

In reponse to KyJim's purchase advice for aSW 686 Snub: http://www.thefiringline.com/forums/showthread.php?t=282975 I stated that the 686 was not always stainless. After further consulting numerous and various sources I would like to say loud and clear: I WAS WRONG KyJim: The 686 IS A...

Help I'm in love with the wrong type of gun. A beautiful 686 2.5" for a steal of a price. It's pre-lock and no MIM. :(BUT IT'S NICKEL:( Is there a safe way to remove it? I'm dubious of glass-beading (wouldn't want those little suckers to mess up that beautiful S&W action) and buffing on a...

Help me out here. I want a carry pistol. I have read the great reviews about the XD's and I own two SA's and love them both. Is the XD 40 as good a shooter as the XD 9. Is there something more I should know. Althought I know that I also need to make a big decision about the caliber (9 vs...

Just got back from the range yesterday and the surprise of the day was how accurate my new CZ P-01 is. The gun fills my hand really nicely and is a natural 'pointer'. There are something about the grips that just 'feel right.' My buddy who has hands like catcher's mitts (mine are merely...

I have a lead on a used stainless Champion for $550. I don't know the round count. Externally, I would place the piece at around 95-97 percent. I know that NIB is $800-850. And I've seen slightly used for around $720. Is $550 too good to be true? What should I look for (as far as damage)...

I admit that I'm a newb with larger caliber rifle rounds. I'd like a 'reach-out-and-touch-something' .308. Before someone tries to steer this post another direction let me state emphatically that I am not interested in 30-06. I'd like to be able to make 2" groups at 500 yards. I'd like to...

I've got a chance at a Colt Anaconda .44 magnum 6" stainless for $950 (used but not abused). I've checked around and this price seems really competitive. I'm currently saving for an AR. Do I delay the AR and get the Colt? At this price I don't think the Colt will last. HELP! RP

I am in the market for my first AR and my local gunshop has a W.C. for $1250. Friends tell me that's a good price - maybe too good. Does anyone have experience with this firearm. Right now I'm trying to decide between Colt, Armalite, and LMT. The S&W MP15 is also in the running. Any...
