    Firearm Trust Rule changes

    Another rule change in the works which seems to make the requirements for Trust users the same as those who have been going thru the regular NFA application process. Read more: http://thehill.com/blogs/regwatch/pending-regs/318133-white-house-reviewing-draft-gun-control-rule#ixzz2ch6Zwt7w...

    McMillan stock colors pic request

    Anyone have a camo McMillan stock that can name the colors and pattern used? The site is lacking on the descriptions/images a bit, and Google searches bring up alot of conflicting photo color descriptions. Particularily interested in the Forest Camo pattern and colors, but whatever you have, how...

    S&W 1911 5" joy?

    Sort of thinking about getting one in stainless, people who like them seem to really like them. Am I getting that right? Thinking about the Pro or E series from what I can tell. Have been to a bunch of shops locally, drawing a goose egg on actually handling one. For carry, not the safe. Comments...

    Scopes/extreme temps.

    I have had an issue with a BDC turret on a fairly expensive scope, at least by my standards. In the winter, or indoors, or in the shade, the elevation turret has been fine. Twice now....when out in the heat and hot sun, the turret has lost it's "clicks" or "detents" and gone smooth. Nothing like...

    5.56/,223 brass too short

    I have a bunch of bonafide once fired cases from factory ammo that I've culled from a larger batch of brass, ranging from .002-.010 shorter than my trim to length. Don't know why it's too short straight out of the gate, but the obvious question is....use it?

    Bullet/Powder for 5.56 recommendations needed

    What's a good weight SMK for a 1 in 7 twist AR with a 16 inch barrel? I see some ammos loaded with the 69 grainers...good choice for reloading or too heavy? Powder recommendations for same? Preferably IMR/Alliant/Hodgdon/Winchester, due to availability locally.

    Chiappa 1911-22

    Anyone ever fired one, any comments? Accuracy, cycling, quality...etc. They seem to run 250-300, seems like a decent practicing alternative for me , but if it's a junky thing I'm not really interested. Handled one yesterday for a second, seemed ok for what it is, from the outside. I have no...

    .30-06 & .270 brass resized to .308 question.

    I noticed Garand and M1A use the same extractor. I am guessing the brass will work in that instance, but I'm wondering if there may be other rifles that might not function with the smaller extractor groove in the resized brass. Any particular reason for the different groove that you know of, in...

    Black Bear techniques

    Lot of bear around here....mostly just run them with dogs for the dogs themselves. But this morning since it's 16 degrees, I used an different technique, called warming up the truck. Scared him out of the truck, at 6.30....apparently he was going for a smoke.:) Poked a couple of holes in my...

    Drilling/Vierling sub caliber insert origin, Kreighoff?

    Can anyone tell me if this .22 magnum 12 guage insert was original as a Krieghoff accessory or if it was original to a firearm from maker H. Burgsmuller & Sohne? Or just an accessory sold alone?

    Did or could Russia have asked America to stop importing counterfeit merch?

    Would we comply if asked to stop importing copies of AK type rifles? Is that one of Customs duties? They go after toys and luggage, why not rifles? http://en.rian.ru/mlitary_news/20101114/161327797.html

    Lead Bans and the EPA revisited

    Evidently another suit has been filed regarding Lead ammo and sinkers. Two advocacy groups plus one Project Gutpile?:rolleyes: Any reason to think it will go the other way this time around? It seems they are suing EPA to assert thier supposed authority in all things chemical. So to me it seems...

    .308 and 155 sierra Palma w/ IMR-4064

    Rifle is an older Dragunov styled autoloader rifle with a 24.25 barrel, 1 in 12 twist. I don't like pummeling the rifle when I rarely get it out. Very little loading data for the rifle that I've ever found...so I don't want to beat the bejeezus out of it. First time specifically loading for it...

    What is the Chinese rifle ban about?

    We trade with them like there's no tomorrow. Many of the rifles (AK clones, M14 clones etc are readily available and at first glance just as dangerous:rolleyes:) So why are they taboo? In teenage texting lingo wouldn't they be our MFN?

    NDM-86 7.62x51 firing pin fix

    Have read good and bad things about having this done for the inertia firing pin. I understand the issue but have also read that some repairs are maybe less than desirable. The question...fix, or leave alone?

    Identical guns, different price, gun store question.

    Was looking at a rifle recently, beside it was another....same identical gun. Composite stocks so the wood isn't an issue. Why would one be 200 bux more than the other? Are rifles sorted by any quality at the manufacturers, or it it purely a matter of the shop getting the guns for 2 different...
