I am curious, but for the biggest part of the weekend, TFL was not working. Everytime I went to thefiringline.com or www.thefiringline.com nothing would happen, and everything would time out. Can someone provide me some insight as to what was going on. Thanks, INGunGuy

I am going to buy a Mosin Nagant and have been doing research on what to look for when I purchase one. I may even purchase a couple of them since they are so cheap. Anyway, my question is not about the firearm itself, but on reloading for it. I am going to purchase a few of those 440 round...

I was just looking over some CCW laws around the county, and from what I can read, it is against the law for anyone to CCW in IL. Is that true? INGunGUy

Hello, I have been going thru some older ammunition that I have around here. I have found some bullets for my .243 that have some sort of corrosion on the lead tips. I was looking thru my oldest .22 hornet and .243 Winchester ammo, and some looks to have this same kind of corrosion. Is this...

I am wondering, we have been having a discussion here at work about magazines, and whether or not to leave them loaded or not. I have heard that the springs will wear out if you leave the magazine loaded. How true is this, and what should be done to mitigate magazine springs getting weak? I...

Ok, this may sound stupid, but here goes. I live in Indiana, and because I do, I had to get a "Carry Permit" to carry my handgun whether in my car, truck, or my person. If I am going to the gunsmith, the range, or just walking down the street. In Indiana it is not a Concealed Carry Permit, it...

I am curious, but does tumbling brass clean the inside of the brass also? I have noticed that when I reload my .40 S/W the gun get's really filthy shooting second and third loads. I dont clean my cases other than a wipedown. Maybe I should do something more, I am not looking for NEW looking...

OK, I have a dumb question, I belong to a shooting club, and they allow ANY pistol caliber but ONLY rimfire rifle's. What is wierd is that I can take my .357 mag S/W and shoot it all day, but I can NOT take my .357 mag Winchester rifle and shoot it. Just like I cant take my .223 AR-15 and...

OK, before we get into a you cant do this or do that legally, all I need to know is can I convert my Ruger 10 22 to full auto and register it as a FA firearm with the BATF. I understand about the $200 and background checks, etc, etc, etc, but before I undertake this endeavor, I need to know if...
