      Why do I need a suppressor?

      Alright MDS, why do I need a suppressor for a 5.56 home defense rifle? Convince me. I have read every online article about the subject. Most boil down to "Because they are amazeballs and you can stick it to the ATF by paying them to approve you to have one!" I value the real world...

      Optic placement

      Talking about the placement of a non magnified red dot on a rifle.... Does the placement on the rails matter at all? (Far forward towards the muzzle, far back closer to the shooter's eye) I see some people have them way of front. Others have them all the way back. Is it just a preference?

      Kid wants to get into archery

      So I am new to archery. (Got a bow off the classified here last month and fell right in love with it. Made a nice safe back yard target. Having a blast! Loving how you can buy 1 arrow and shoot it many times as opposed to single use bullets) My 9 year old wants to try it. She got into it at...

      Fixing a pellet rifle

      I found this old Crossman pellet rifle in my old stuff It used to work great but has been neglected for 25 years. I still remember taking the stock off and doing a full refinishing of it when I was like 10 (Stock looks brand new!) I am guessing there is a seal broken because when I pump it I...

      Moving guns into PA

      Maryland may finally be too much for me. I am thinking about moving North of the Mason Dixon line. Preliminary thinking for now. I am just doing my homework. Is there any hassle to move guns into PA? I am talking registered handguns and a few unregulated long guns (per MD law). Nothing...

      Apple and Google violating anti trust laws for anti gun reasons?

      A gun auction site has an app on iPhone and Android Suddenly both platforms block bidding on the apps, making them useless Obviously this was done because Google and Apple hate guns. But it's funny they both did it at the same time If you could prove coordination between Google and...

      1911 spring

      Is the spring on a 1911 a wear part that should be replaced every so often? Or only if it shows specific signs of damage? Mine looks okay. But it is 21 years old. Are they like washing machine hoses that should be replaced every few years before they fail spectacularly?

      Anyone know of a place in Central PA that has the older style metal AR mags? And at reasonable prices? I like Magpuls but it's nice to have a variety. I don't feel like calling all the stores and asking. I figured someone would just know. (Bass Pro in Harrisburg does not have them. I...

      Winchester 70 value?

      I have a Winchester model 70, 30-06 I have had it for 20 some odd years. I don't get to fire it much but it shoots well when I do. It's in good shape. No rust or other blemishes. Today I started wondering what it's worth and found a HUGE range in price tags on the model 70 What makes...

      Ammo forum?

      Just a suggestion for a forum specifically about ammo and the variations on it Would fit right in with the group of forums on different types of guns (rifles, handguns, etc) (If there already is one and I'm too blind to see it, please commence the hazing. I understand.)
