    DPMS Panther Carbine and 11.5" AR's.

    Hello all, Although I'm not new to AR's I am new to "owning" one. I've shot mostly 20" platforms and usually have some thousand rounds of ball ammo, cleaning kit, dozen or so mags, etc. in my safe. However, I never got around to purchasing one. So I need some advice... A local shop has the...

    Doesn't anyone shoot Winchesters anymore?

    I've asked literally dozens of shooters and not one of them is shooting or would choose to shoot any of the newer Winchester M70's like the Coyote or Stealth. They are all shooting Remington's and Savage's. Even a couple of Ruger's thrown in there too. One or two Sako's and one Kimber in the...

    Question about Mil-Dot scopes?

    Does anyone know which scope manufacturers use the US Army-Style Mildot Reticle where the mils are round circles (as opposed to the oval-shaped USMC style)? Does Leupold or Sightron make one? Thanks, WB

    Winchester Stealth. Looks nice. Is it?

    Still hunting my varmint rig. Been pickin' at a Savage all week at the shop. Noticed a Winchester Stealth in the corner today and got my mits on it. Seemed very well built and fairly heavy. I know nothing about this rifle, though. How does it compare to the Savage 10s and Rem 700s? Looking...

    Is this a good deal on a used O/U?

    Just came across a 12ga. SKB Sporting Clays Model with 30" barrel. This gun has the porting (Magnaport?) and includes IC & M Briley Inter-Chokes. It's in AWESOME condition. Looks like very light use. No scratches on the wood or finish. Bores are pristine. Includes a soft case (gun rug)...

    How do I make my KRD mags reliable in my BHP?

    I'm frustrated as all get out. I have two 17 and two 15 round KRD mags for my BHP and NONE of them will function 100% of the time. Usually on the 5th or 7th round I get an FTF caused by the rounds hanging on the inside face front face of the mag. It's like they've got weak springs or the...

    Need name of book/article about path to civil war.

    Awhile back I caught the tail end of a discussion on the radio about civil war. It wasn't strictly about the American Civil War. Some author or historian had basically studied a variety of cultures world wide and came up with a list of events shared by the cultures (including the U.S.) which...

    Wife not happy with her BHP. Wants a revolver. Now what????

    Hello all, My wife has decided that the BHP is NOT the gun for her. Now to be fair I bought it for myself about a year ago and when I left on my first business trip the BHP suddenly became my wife's bedside gun (my other gun, a Kimber 1911, went with me). Anyway, she has decided a...

    44 special x 5 or 9mm x 10

    Just wondering what you all would consider a better lightweight CCW setup? I realize this is comparing apples to oranges but I have my eye on two lightweight guns. First, a Taurus 445T Total Titanium revovler in 44 special weighing a meek 19.8 oz. in matte blue. Second, a Kel-Tec P-11 9mm...

    44 Special and Total Titanium???

    Just wondering if anyone has shot one of the newer Taurus 445T models. I've always wanted a 44 special and I came across this gun at the shop. Very light-weight and very slick looking. I've shot plenty lightweight .45's with no problem. Just wondering how the 44 special shoots out of a sub 20...

    Life-span of Tritium night-sights?

    Looking to get some night-sights for my Kimber Custom Classic. Would like to get Tritiums of some sort. Don't want the Mepro's since I've heard they burn out quickly. Can anyone tell what useful life-span I can expect of Tritium and where I should go to get them (Wilson, Novak, other, etc.)...

    Need a Buckmark remedy...

    Hello all, I've been casually plinking with my Buckmark Camper for the past few months and decided to today to do a full sigh- in session with the factory sights. Here's the problem - to get P.O.A. to P.O.I. I had to drift the rear sight nearly all the way to the right. Vertical alignment was...

    1911's - Anyone actually prefer...

    1911's - Anyone actually prefer the arched mainspring housing and short trigger combination? I'm thinking of having my stock Kimber changed to this setup along with an Ed Brown beavertail safety to help aid my stubby digits in trigger control. Thanks, Warm Bore

    Does anyone have a "Sniper" smell test???

    Hello all, I have a friend who has a friend who has a friend etc. that is claiming to be an ex-Marine sniper in Vietnam. However, I find his claims to be slightly questionable. I was wondering if there is ONE question to which only ONE answer would be correct, that could be asked of him to...

    Anyone here carry a Kimber Ultra-Carry???

    Should we ever get CCW here in Ohio I would like a small light-weight .45 for the summer months. I've been kicking around between the Glock 30 and the new Taurus PT145. After a recent visit to a local shop a buddy of mine picked up a used Charles Daly Field CS and it is a sweet little gun. I'm...
