    Smithy in DC/MD

    Hi All, I am looking for a smith in the DC MD area that can help me with a SA 1911A1 Milspec. In short the gun is about 11 years old and has been slightly modified. I ended up having a smith tune it nice with a 3.5 lb trigger. After awhile I decided I didn't like the trigger because it...

    Confessions of a non rifleman...

    Not steel vs. poly...really...well

    Hi all, Not much luck on a search. Just wanted to ask the readers about the longevity of the polymer pistols. Not so much round count and use, but more the effects of time. Glock's been around since the early to mid 80's and my understanding is that H&K has had plastic guns in circulation...

    A matter of time for ammo prices to drop?

    Hi All, Probably kidding myself but do any of you think we'll see lower ammo prices like a few years back? ie: 50 round box of S&B 9mm for $4.99, .45 ACP for $5.99... I know I keep hearing that prices are dropping but $13.00 for Wolf 9mm (Natchez) isn't really cutting it.. Best -Coop

    leapers or barska?

    Hi All, Posted this on ar15.com but no replies... Just a quick question. I wanted to pick up an inexpensive range scope and was looking at the Barska electro and the Leapers golden image.... Both of these mount on the handle and look similar. It'll be on a bush m4 with carry handle. Is...

    Ithaca 37 Defense?

    http://ithacagun.com/ Ithaca's back up with their 37 defense model. Looks nice for a traditional hd gun. Any experience with their products? I keep an 870P loaded, but thought the 37 might be a bit lighter to work with. Best, -Coop

    Levergun for bad eyes...

    Hi All, Had my Marlin 336 (30-30) converted awhile back into a Cowboy. Real nice looking now with a 24" octagonal barrel and all. Anyway, I must come to the conclusion and finally admit that I do not shoot well with iron sights. Despite practice, I just plain don't shoot as well as I do with...

    Non "assault" assault rifle for DC?

    This may fit better in the rifle forum but since it's rights related I'll start here. As a good, law abiding LEO and resident of DC I decided to take my Bushy down to headquarters to have it test fired and registered and submit photos, etc. because I do the right thing. Within the last week...

    Brandishing VS. Threat? Friend (female) is at Best Buy in Northern VA. While she's waiting in the return line, a guy behind her starts whining about only needing to return a simple item and that he shouldn't have to wait.... He becomes agitated and continues to whine that things are moving...
