Hey y'all, I've been out of touch for a while. Other things took priority in my life over guns for a few years, and I'm finally back to the point where I am able to balance things and be an enthusiast again... I know, shame on me for staying gone for so long... Now, on to the question at...

Does anyone know if any company makes a handheld GPS unit that also has an emergency function to notify the GEOS International Emergency Response Center? I'm back in Alaska finally and one of the main things that kept me close to the road system was my inability to notify someone if I or my...

Alright folks, I've been out of touch lately, but I need to call in a favor. I'm wanting to make my Dad a nice sling for Christmas, but I don't know what length.... It's for his Winchester Model 70, .30/06. If anyone could measure the distance between sling swivel studs on their long action...

While not directly related to the Second Amendment, it is directly related to the "no-knock warrant, wrong house" debate we often have here on TFL. Basic storyline is a former Miss Nevada and her boyfriend resided in apartment A of an apartment complex... L.A. County Sheriff's Office had a...

I challenge all of you to read and share this information. I'm willing to bet that over 75% of Americans have no idea why we have the freedoms we do... This paper explains a lot of the history behind our freedoms. Please take the time to read it. You'll likely learn something, I did. My...

Sorry if this has been asked and answered, but I didn't see anything about it... I couldn't access TFL from about 0900 yesterday morning until at least 2200 last night. Was it a problem with the site? Or did something go wrong on my end? (all other websites I frequent worked fine)

No, it's not a "what gun would you choose?" thread... I will likely transfer next year, so it's time to start looking at the possibility that I might have to go to a non-RKBA-friendly state... So, worst case scenario (if I don't get to transfer back to Alaska), which of these states would be...

***THIS WILL NOT BE A THREAD DEBATING WHAT IS AND IS NOT A DECENT BEAR DEFENSE GUN!!! IF THE DISCUSSION TURNS TOWARDS THAT, THE THREAD WILL BE CLOSED. THERE'S ENOUGH "BEAR GUN" DEBATES THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN HASHED OUT HERE ON TFL, FIND THEM USING THE SEARCH FUNCTION*** Now, seein as how that's...

There's a few press releases out, I'm sure your google-fu is strong enough to find them if you want, but the gist of the story that I've gathered from my friends and shipmates up there is this; Two people were found dead this morning at Communications Station Kodiak, one a Coastie, the other a...

I guess it was bound to happen sooner or later... No, I'm not making this up... http://www.mossberg.com/products/default.asp?id=45&display=feat

What's up with the ads? Is this the new TFL cash cow? Don't get me wrong, I'm all about people making money in whatever way they legally and ethically can. I'm just curious about the new ads that keep popping up when I scroll my mouse icon over certain words....

We have threads every couple of days asking about this or that lube... Well, let's have us a popularity contest that one can actually look at and see the numbers plainly, without having to sift through a dozen pages of opinions. So, here's the poll. If your pet lube isn't listed, please select...

I'm new to Michigan, living in the Port Huron area. I'm looking for any hunting clubs within 100 miles or so. Looking to hunt mainly deer and hogs, but I'm open to hunting almost anything I can fill the freezer with. I've never been too fond of public land near heavily populated areas, never...

I know... You're all :eek::rolleyes::mad: and stuff... But I just can't get over how much I despise the .270 Win. No, I've never had any type of traumatic experiences with it, nor did the .270 I had many years ago ever fail for me... I have no idea why, but in my mind I have vehemently...

Simple concept, take .300 WSM brass and neck it down to 6.5mm... I don't think the rifle conversion would be much more difficult or expensive to convert than a .30/06 to 6.5/06. I'm thinking of a 140gr SGK or SMK at about 3500fps??? Or are my estimations a bit unreasonable? I'm just seeing...

I've gotten a wild hair and I'm thinking about having a semi-custom gun built. I'm thinking about a Marlin 1895 in .45/70 (maybe .457 Wild West Magnum if I'm feeling really frisky), not too crazy right? Wrong... I want it to look like this: With a slightly smaller lever loop of course... Am...

At least in my opinion. I picked up a Kimber 84M Select Grade chambered in .260 Rem for $500 yesterday. It has a Bushnell Banner 3-9x40mm scope mounted on it for the moment, I may wind up swapping it out soon. Though I'll wait until I get it to the range and see how it does. It has some very...

- Has anyone been? - What courses did you take? - Can you give an overview of what you learned? - Approximate cost of the course/s? - I see that special ammo is required for many classes, what do the prices look like at Epping for their special ammo? Thanks for any and all info.

I just found a website for Patriot Ordnance Factory (POF-USA) and I must say... Wow! I'm specifically looking at the P415 Recon and these guns seem to be almost bullet-proof. Can anyone give me a reason not to start saving my pennies for one of these sweet puppies?

Went and had some fun at the range today, conditions weren't that great as I had to pick my shots carefully with the wind kicking up. All in all it was a good day though. Browning X-Bolt Varmint Stalker - .308 Win Vortex 4-16x50mm Load: 165gr Hornady Interlock BTSP 43.5gr Hogdon Varget Federal...
