    Bushnell Banner Scope- stuck dial

    I am trying to get help with a scope I have mounted on the rifle. The zooming dial is stuck between the 18 and 16 power settings, and will not go any further past 16. The scope is 6X-18 X 50. I am the second owner of the scope, so I don't have the original box or paper work, and I highly doubt...

    Colt Python vs GP 100 and 686

    Hello everyone, I'm new to the wheel gun scene and I'd like to ask a question of you all. I've been saving my pennies during this deployment, and provided the federal budget is worked out before long, I'll have a solid gun fund with which to bless a lucky gun store. I plan on getting a revolver...

    Question for LEO's: Are Glocks the true thug guns?

    Glocks seem to have a reputation as being the weapon of choice among villians and ne'er-do-wells. In your experience as an LEO, are Glocks among the majority of confiscated weapons or being the preferred weapons among criminals?

    A few pictures

    I went to the range today to sight in my scope and refresh my handling with the XD. Two of my coworkers had just bought 1911s that week, one a Colt Combat Commander the other a Para Ordnance. Of the two I liked the Para's sights but preferred the Colt overall. A few other guys brought HKs...

    Old guns you would like back in production

    And I mean rifles, pistols, shotguns, anything. I'd like to see a remake of the M1941 Johnson rifle, 1903 Springfields, and C96 Mausers! But the grand daddy of them all would be the M3 Carbine with working infrared optics. I have a thing for exotic milsurps.

    Need help identifying two old rifles.

    An acquaintance of mine recently came by two new rifles from his uncle. He seems to think one of them is an Enfield, but as for the other, he has no idea. Perhaps the rifle on the left is an Arisaka? The action looks similar. I'm sorry the pictures aren't more detailed, I'll see if any more come...

    Ruger SR9c

    So I had a dream last night where I had an SR9c and I really liked it. Don't know how it got there or where it came from in this dream, but I remember holding it in my hand and feeling happy. Now I'm seriously looking at one. Does anyone have one or shot before. I'm in the Beaufort SC and...

    Saw a killer deal on an Iron Brigade Armory M40A1

    It had a McMillian A1 stock with USMC camo, Leupold Mk4 LRT w/ mil-dot, Harris Bipod, Hart barrel 26", chambered in 300WSM. If it wasn't 4k, and I wasn't in the process of buying a car, I would have snatched it up the day I saw it. Still thinking about it though.

    Negotiating an FFL from Japan... lost in the sauce

    So here it is: bought a 1903 Colt in .32 ACP from Gunbroker, seller needs my FFL and a money order. I'm based in Japan, so my dad is going to be the one who sends the money order and the FFL. He hasn't done this before. The Money order is not the issue, my question is... How does he get the FFL...

    Torn between a collectible and beretta

    Usually I don't like seeing 'this or that' posts, but its now the case with me. I'm looking at a 1903 Colt in .32 on Gunbroker for $400. It's in good condition, the blueing may have been removed or the gun might have come that way, I don't know. The other option would be a slightly used Beretta...

    Oddest post or Oddest location while making a TFL post?

    Where was your strangest place that you have posted or what was your strangest thread? Or something to that effect. I'm in an airplane as of now, about 20000 ft above Spokane, WA.

    Fired a Desert Eagle

    A .44 magnum model, and I found it quite manageable. Kept a nice group at 25 feet. It is not so heavy that you can't keep the sights on the target, its weight kept me from swaying around during my breath cycle. Really enjoyed shooting the gun.

    Winchester Model 70, featherweight .243

    Found one on Parris Island's PX for 650. If I bought it, I'd have to register it and everything, but what a beautiful rifle! Don't want to keep it in the armory, but the rifle seems to call me in my sleep! What do I do?

    Service members and veterans- Anyone checked their private weapons into the armory?

    I'm out of MOS training, and going to a new duty station (MCAS Beaufort). I'd like to bring my guns but I don't know how much to trust the armory especially with the $3,000 of weaponry I own.

    Bought a GSG5 today...

    Still don't have because NICS delayed the transfer (as they so did with my WASR 10) but I can't wait to shoot it. Anybody know what the best ammo is for it?

    Just might get a revolver next week

    Coming home on leave in August for a couple of weeks, I'd like to get a new gun, and the GP100 caught my eye. I really like the 4" model A buddy of mine said that paying the extra 50 or so dollars for the Stainless over the Blued model would be a better investment for ease of care, does anyone...

    Tracking down Romanian AK

    I've had a Century Arms WARS-10 for a few months now, and I'd be interested in finding out a bit of history about my weapon. Is there a source of info I'd be able to use, maybe find out where it was manufactured, and when?

    Cop Layoffs, no end in sight for ammo crunch

    Across the nation, several departments facing deep budget cuts and deficets are forced to lay off large percentages of their staff and officers.... Of course local citizens are doing the right thing and gun sales are surging in these areas as people realize they'll need more than a 9-1-1 call to...
