      CCW Recommendations for Mom

      Good morning, all. I am looking for recommendations for a good all around defense gun for my mother. She is recently widowed, but still quite spry at 71 years of age, and still looking to set out in her RV on her own. The interwebs are loaded with Top 5's of this and that, but thought I'd see...

      Utah Permit Renewal... WTH??

      So, I received my Utah Permit Renewal in the mail the other day, and it states that due to a rules change in 2011, that if I hold a nonresident Utah Permit, I must hold a Permit in my state of residence in order to renew. I've seen where others have renewed with no issue as of April of this...

      On NPR this morning;

      Yeah, Yeah... I know... it's NPR. For the record, I listen here and there to hear what "the other side" says about things. I found it interesting that they reported that Carry Permits being up 3 fold on a National Level, and didn't even put a negative spin on it. While I know it is a...

      In search of competition ammo.

      I'm looking for ammo for my step-son that shoots competitively, and is required to have a certain load. Does anyone know where I can find a flat of 2 3/4" 12 ga. #7.5 Lead, 7/8 Ounce, with a higher velocity, 1350 preferable. It's hard enough to find online, but thought maybe some of you guys...

      Question on AR15 Function Check.

      I recently married a new Rock River Lower with a new CMMG Upper. This is my first time running through the checks as described in Walt Kuleck's AR15 Complete Assembly Guide. One of the tests reads as follows: "Cycle the bolt (again). The safety should rotate and click into place from...

      Upper Receiver Mfg.

      Hey all. I've been doing some reading, and according to Apone's Sticky on AR builds, he states that many Lowers are made by the same manufacturer, then sent off to wherever to get their brand stamp on them. Does the same hold true for Uppers? If so, which brands are likely to have the same...

      Nation's Gun Shown July 30 - Aug 1st

      Just wondering... have any of you ever gone down to this show on the opening day (Friday)? It says it opens at 3 pm, and I'm wondering if all vendors are required to be there by then, or would there be a better selection on Saturday & Sunday?

      AR Upper Questions

      I'm shopping for an AR Upper, and have a couple of questions. Should I look for a Chrome/Moly barrel, or a Chrome lined barrel? What is preferred in terms of chambering? .223/5.56, or 5.56 NATO? From what I've read, a 5.56NATO can shoot whatever ammo you want, while a .223/5.56 canno shoot...

      SR556 Carrier Tilt?

      I've been back and forth so many times debating whether to pick up one of Ruger's Evil Black Rifles. One of my main concerns is the rumored carrier tilt issue with them. I've read on several other forums that this is an issue, but have yet to get an official read, or article about it. I know...

      Choice B/W 2 12's...

      A coworker of mine has 2 12 gauge Mossbergs he's selling, and I'm torn between the two. Both are relatively the same age, with same amount of wear as far as the stock goes, both are pump action 3" mags. What I like about the one is that it has a BB sight at the muzzle, and another about 1/2...

      Recommended AR Books

      Does anybody recommend any good reads on ARs? I'm looking for a good familiarization book, not necessarily how to build one.

      AR Scopes

      Just wondering...what do you guys with AR's like for scopes? I've heard eosights are pretty nice, but expensive, so I was just searching for a decent quality scope to start out with, and maybe grow into a little. I don't mind paying a little extra for quality, but I don't want to have to ask the...

      My 'O' Face

      Well, guys. You all stated it wouldn't be long after my initial purchase of the GP100 that I'd be wanting another. I had been on the fence about getting me a special gun to play with. After coming home from work the other day (after a stop by the gun connection), I opened my mailbox only to...

      NRA Magazines

      Hey all. I was thinking of joining the NRA, and saw that they offered a choice of 3 different magazines. Just wondered which one you guys prefer. The descriptions are kinda vague.

      Send Help.

      Ok, guys. I'm like a love-sick teen here. I was all set to put a deposit on a GP100 (or a 686), as I was completely sold on the reliability of a wheel gun. However, I had the opportunity to handle a co-worker's XD45 on Friday...that thing is friggin' sweet. I can't believe the balance, and...

      GP100 Laser Grips

      Does anyone have them, and what are your thoughts? If I were to order directly from Ruger, it looks like they're around $200. Do you think they are worth the cost? Thanks.
