      Current US Military Rifles; Still Three Round Burst?

      I ran into someone who is telling me that most current US Military rifles are three round bursts and not full auto. Is that true? I thought we went away from the three round burst mode.

      Is Old 22 Long Rifle ok for a bolt gun?

      I ended up inheriting 2 boxes short of a brick of this German ammo, but it is 22 Long, not Long Rifle. Probably would not shoot in the 10/22, but perhaps in my bolt gun or 22 revolver?? What do you guys think?

      New Ruger LCP II

      I just got a Ruger LCP II and had a chance to to shoot 2 boxes with it this past week. It's snappy but not bad compared to (say) a short barrel S&W 44 magnum which I find punishing. Even so - I found myself flinching a lot and my accuracy at 25 yards was not great; it was on the paper and that...

      I used my Vortex Razor HD spotting scope (old model I got on sale) for the first time today. At the 20X setting at 100 yards and could clearly see 17 HMR holes. My other spotting scopes I had to crank up to 60X. Not this one! I was really shocked at the quality of the image. This scope EASILY...

      10 Round Mag won't seat tightly in CZ 457

      So the 5 round mag that came with the CZ 457 fits perfectly and stays locked solidly in place. But the 10 rounder I just got (has CZ branded packaging), it clicks in place, but then it can slip out just by wiggling it. It just does not seem to seat tightly. Looking at it and comparing it to the...

      Another Great Buying Experience from JLowes

      I purchased a rifle, handgun, and a stripped lower today. Very happy with the price; well worth the drive. One thing I really like about JLowes, all fees are included in the price; no add on fees (e.g. MSP fee) like you might see at a Bass Pro or the like. I am of the opinion that if you...

      So I went to order a scope and Amazon had "only 1 left order soon". Well - it was a pretty good deal so I ordered it. So out of curiosity, I go back to see if they are out. Its says "only 2 left order soon" :rolleyes: Course here's the other thing. For me it was $313. It now shows the...

      So the last time I did anything wrt an NFA purchase, I was not required to submit photo and fingerprints. Now that we have to, I was wondering if United still has one of these kiosks? Thanks!

      CZ 455 vs CZ 457; Is the 457 better?

      Sometimes newer is better, sometimes it's not. What do I get with the CZ 457? Is the 455 better made? A lot of gun makers keep cutting corners with newer models.
