    6.5 x 284, Build or Rechamber?

    I've decided I'd like to have a long range bolt gun for Pennsylvania Ground Hogs. My fav place to hunt has the ability for 500 yard shots (God knows I don't though!) So I'd like to have a gun that can do that, hoping someday I can as well. I've read every thread I could find on this cartridge...

    Personal Firearm while in Military?

    My Nephew is returning from MP Duty in South Korea; spending a few days at home, and then going to New Mexico to finish his tour. I have promised him a pistol since he is now 21. I am going to buy it for him while he is home. Can he take it to New Mexico with him? 1) Does the Army allow this...

    Something to keep the shells from flying out of my auto-loader?

    I have a Beretta 391-A Urika. I love shooting trap with it, but am always worried about hitting the guy to my right with the ejecting shell. The short term solution has been to put my Brother on my right, therby erasing any guilty feeling when he gets hit with one :D . One of the regulars...

    Darnit! Can't find the Balrog thread!

    Can anyone send me a link to the thread that I believe George Hill started back in Sept, 01 that was titled something like "What weapon would you fight the Balrog with?" I've done a bunch of searches, and I'm striking out. I need some humor this morning!

    .50 AE vs .454 Casull

    What's the difference on these two Ballistically speaking? I don't really care for the .50AE, and am hoping to impress a friend of mine tonight when he shoots my Ruger .454 I'm assuming the .454 is more powerful, but I've noticed whenever I assume something, anything goes!

    Where can I buy a quality integral Tac-Lite/Pump handle for my Mossberg 590?

    I saw one listed in Guns & Ammo (or similar Magazine) once, but can't seem to find anything like it from Wilson, Brownells, etc. The one I saw had the light molded into the pump handle, it wasn't a clamp on. Any help mucho appreciated!

    How is TFL Funded?

    Here's the reason I ask this; I get more information and learn more about firearms from this sight than any of the magazines I subscribe to, plus the members here are great! My reasoning is as follows, I send a good chunk of money to the NRA, and probably spend $100 a year in magazine...

    Used 686, ROBAR?

    Howdy all, I just picked up an older used 686, I couldn't pass it up for the price and the action is even smoother than my vintage 586. Here's my dilemma; the surfaces have a few scratches and scuffs, nothing major, it just looks like the gun was used a lot. Is there anything I can do to buff...

    Kimber's Service Dept is AWESOME!

    Ok, it's only one man's opinion... Here's the story; the windage screw on the rear sight of my Custom Eclipse II sheared of during firing (Which was a bummer, to say the least). So I overnighted the slide to Kimber on Monday 1-14-02. I came home from work yesterday, and low and behold, a box...

    Are Most Military Members Pro-Gun?

    I had always thought the answer to this question was yes, but my nephew (a 1st year MP currently in South Korea) said via e-mail to me that he was surprised that a few of the guys in his company are for gun control. I think I have formed my opinion on the assumption that if you love guns, the...

    Anyone own a Kimber 84M or a Super America .22?

    I am about to go pick mine up from my local dealer, and wanted to see what TFL thought of these guns? I've been waiting quite a while for them, I think I ordered them in late September. I got the 84M in .308

    Mounting my Trius One Step

    I had seen somewhere in a previous post about a spare tire mount for the Trius One Step. Is there a mounting system you can buy for this? Or is it something you have to rig yourself? Any pointers would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

    Scope too Low?

    Hi all, I just put a Springfield Armory Gov't Model 4-14 x 56mm on a Ruger Varmint Target .308. I have just enough space between the objective lens and the barrel to see daylight between them. Is that too close? If so, what are my options for raising the scope? I would have to use non-ruger...

    Is my AK receiver milled or stamped?

    Howdy all, In my never ending quest to be as Politically Incorrect as possible, I purchased my first AK-47 yesterday. I picked up a pre-ban Norinco. My question is is the receiver milled or stamped? I would like to purchase polymer furniture for it from KVAR, so I need to how the receiver is...

    Tricking out a 10-22

    Hi folks, I'm interested in buying a 10-22 and jazzing it up. I did some thread searches on TFL but didn't find much. Can any of you point me to a specific thread? Are there any other forums dedicated to the 10-22? I'd like to hear from anyone who has modified their 10-22's; any and all info...

    Loads for Trap

    I'm looking for advice on what the right size load is for trap. 1oz or 1 1/8oz? I bought 500 rounds of 1 1/8 loads that were designated for sporting clays, so I'm not sure they are the right medicine for Trap (at 16 yards). I use a Beretta Urika 391A (30" Bbl) I am going to reload, and am...
