    Local Ar15 price check = depression

    *sigh* My birthday is coming up, along with Christmas, so I thought I'd be good to myself this year and get an AR15. Never had one, but it would look good in the safe next to the FN-Fal and AK (gotta complete that collection, ya know). I was just going to use it for target shooting aka...

    Amusing statistics

    http://wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=29257 Read down to the FTC part.... Wow, I need to get one of those 'at a distance' rifles, cause mine are only good for clubbing a deer up-side the head. :p

    Price gouging?

    In the past here in Florida, we've been subjected to price gouging on building supplies when hurricanes threaten. With the shootings in VA/MD/DC, the media has focused on the dreaded .223 assault weapons. Do you think this will cause price gouging on ARs, especially if the threat is to ban...

    Research project: backyard indoor gun range

    I own a few acres. However it is considered 'in town' because the city incorporates the entire county. I do have neighbors to the left and right, but behind is a few acres of woods. I'm resigned that anything open air is out of the question. So, I have three questions: 1) Where would be a...

    Something cute: Molon Labe on Cartoon Network

    Was watch Samurai Jack tonight with my son, and there is a version of the battle of the pass of Thermopylae, right down the the exact count of 300 men. Just something interesting of note.

    Holster Advice: Between seat and console in car

    Carry laws aside, I would like to see if there is a good holster for carrying between the seat and console in a car. Something that won't go flying if you hit the brakes, it'll stay in place when you draw, etc. Could be for a revolver or semi-auto, haven't decided on that yet. Thanks!

    New to revolvers. S&W M65 reloading.

    My dad recently gave me a S&W M65-3 that he had. He's never used it. It looks to be in excellent condition. I have never owned a revolver before, but used the 'how to check over a revolver' guid posted here to verify it was in sound working condition. My question is what is good to keep ammo...

    Large people, backup weapons.

    I'm a fat guy, so for CCW, its IWB carry. However, I have been considering a backup weapon as well. Right now, I haven't decided on the weapon itself, but it would be small. Most people I know with backups carry at the ankle. I don't think that would be as accessible as I would like it to...

    US mulls Military's domestic role

    I didn't know if anyone had seen this one yet or not. It got a 'SCARY' tag over at fark.com, and with good reason. Looks like they want to revise or get rid of posse comitatus. http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story2&cid=1086&ncid=716&e=2&u=/ap/20020721/ap_on_go_pr_wh/homeland_security_6

    Garand clip not ejecting when empty.

    Took my Garand out to the range for the first time today. Everything ran smoothly, except the en-bloc doesn't eject. Rounds feed fine, no failures to extract or anything, its just after the 8th rnd, no 'ping' of the clip. It just sits down at the bottom of the receiver when empty. Turn the...

    concealed car carrying

    How do you carry in your car? Do you have it in the glovebox, on your person, beside you in the seat, etc? I know that rules and regs differ per state (I'm in Florida), but I'm trying to see what people find the most comfortable, yet easily accessible carry. Thanks!

    pocket carry recommendation.

    I was looking into getting a pocket carry weapon. From what I've read, the Keltec P32 comes most highly recommended. My question is how does it fit in the hand? I am a large guy (6'3, 300#). My most comfortable grip handgun is my Beretta 96, but it is quite large to be carrying around in the...

    CCW first timer. Need advice how to carry.

    Greetings. Just got my Fla. CCW license today. I need some advice on what to get to carry what I have. I have a Glock 21, a Beretta 96fs, and a Sistema 1911. (I need to get shopping for a more concealable weapon). With these large autos, and given my large size, it looks like inside the...

    Garand enbloc clip ejection question

    This is more for personal curiosity than anything else. Friend of mine just got a CMP issued Garand. Great rifle. However, looking at the 'innards' of it, I have to wonder: What exactly causes the empty enbloc clip to eject? Does this only happen during shooting, or will it happen with manual...

    Semi-Auto M249 to be produced?

    Dunno if this should go in General or Rifle, so I'll stick it in General. Checking out my current (Dec. 10) issue of Shotgun News, there are some pictures from Knob Creek. One picture is of a M249, the caption reading that U.S. Ordinance has recv'd BATF approval to produce M249s in semi-auto...
