    10ga Mini Shells?

    Hey y’all, I could possibly be trading for or purchasing from family a BPS10 that has been cut down to 18.5” and had a ghost ring thrown on it. Its gotten me kicking around some ideas. Does anyone know of a company that would custom make for me a taller shell holder so that I could load 2” or...

    What are Your Firearms Biases?

    I got to thinking about this subject today and reflected back on my own biases, both past and present, and how they've shaped my firearm buying habit over the years. I'd just like to see what kind of opinions TFL members hold about firearms and how they have changed over the years and/or...

    M1A Intervention Needed

    In 2010 I bought an M1A scout, and for two years the worst thing I did to it was put an EOTech on the scout rail. She looked like this But being the dumb human that I am I became unsatisfied and started looking at all the nifty EBR stocks. The Sage and Troy were too heavy and expensive and...

    QD Mounts and Zero

    I had to remove my ACOG yesterday, was a dummy and forgot to take note of its position on the rail. I can't be more than one or two slots off if any. That said, how jacked up is my zero probably?

    Thinking about a Form 1

    So I've found a few of these oil/fuel filter suppressor dealios and since I just bought a house and can't suck it up and drop the coin on a "real" silencer I figured this might be a good way to go for me. I found this...

    Why no modern 7.62x25 Tok?

    The above quote in another thread got me wondering why nobody has made a modern pistol chambered for the 7.62x25. I personally think the cartridge would be much more popular if the only option for shooting it wasn't butt ugly and cheap looking with the ergonomics of a railroad tie. Would it be...

    Learning to Work on 1911s

    Hey there TFL, I've started to do a little of my own light gunsmithing. Just polishing up trigger components and such. I want to go just a little bit further and start working on 1911s. I'm fairly confident I can start working on triggers, haven't tried it yet but with the right tools it looks...

    What to Recommend for My Dad

    My dad bought a Kimber Pro Carry II, against my recommendation. He's a fairly new shooter and got his heart set on a commander sized 1911. I tried to talk him into a steel frame gun, preferably a full size, but he went for the Kimber over a similarly priced Colt Commander and even passed up a DW...

    Which is best for me?

    If I show up at a USPSA or IDPA match with my CZ75 SP01 (safety, not decocker) which class/division will I get put in for either? The pistol is as it came out of the box. I'd like to just show up and shoot while buying as little extra crap as possible and without doing anything to my pistol.

    First Malfunction with CZ SP01

    Today I decided to see how my new CZ75 SP01 would work with my carry ammo, 124gr Federal HSTs (standard pressure). I loaded up 18+1 and proceeded to fire. Can't quite recall but I believe it was round number 3 that took a nose dive in the magazine and created a nasty failure to feed. Stripped...

    Overcoming Training Scars

    Ive been working on a nasty training scar that I've probably had since I was 10 years old. I'm cross dominant and when I shoot handguns I have a tendency to cock my head over to the right or to turn it to the right when I draw and aim instead of bringing the sights to my left eye. I've found...

    CZ75 SRS from CGW

    Hey y'all, recently acquired a CZ75 SP01 9mm after a year of saving up and searching for it. All I can say is dang! Love this gun! Maybe even more than my Colt 1911 (gasp! :eek:). I've only put 100 rounds of WWB through it so far but I am impressed. The only thing I want to improve is the reset...

The rifle is a home build, palmetto upper, Anderson lower, CMC trigger with a 4x32 ACOG and offset MBUS. Pistol is a CZ...

    Canik TP9SA Sight Options

    Hey y'all, I recently picked up a Canik TP9SA and can't find any options for night sights. I was going to put an XS Big Dot on it but after emailing them I found out that they do not now not will they ever offer their sights for the TP9SA. I believe the major hang up is the staked on front...

    Getting Started in 3-Gun

    There's a club nearby that hosts 3GN matches and I'd like to get started. I'd like to get started competing, mostly just for added training but winning would be cool too. One thing I'm a little nervous about is the plethora of rules, it seems like it'd be really easy to screw up and get DQ'd...

    9mm SD ammo: School me

    Hey y'all, recently picked up my first 9mm, wanted to get the HK VP9 but I've been trying to save for months and something always forces me to use my "gun money" so I went and bought a Canik TP9SA in FDE for about $350. Love the gun, trigger is phenomenal, muzzle flip is comparable to a Glock...

    Proper Machinegun Shooting Technique

    It was mentioned in Machinegun Tony's M14 thread that a lot of folks incorrectly assume FA fire is useless and innaccurate because they don't know how to apply proper machine gun shooting technique. In the Marine Corps I was taught only how to accurately fire a belt fed weapon from the prone...
