      Is this old .22 ammo collectible?

      I got my hands on some old .22 ammo and am trying to figure out if I should squirrel it away, sell it or shoot it. I don't have the slightest bit of knowledge about collectible ammunition. 4 full and 1 partial brick of Montgomery Wards high speed 22 lr. My research indicates that this...

      AK triggers, I'm confused.

      I am the happy, proud new owner of a milled Arsenal sam7R. My first overall impression is a good one, but the trigger leaves something to be desired. As it has some creep and quite a bit of over travel. I'm new to the AK world (this is my first) and poking around on the magic Bing machine has...

      Converted VEPR, good buy?

      Ok, I'm new to the AK world and I'm going to get one here before October. Perusing Atlantic's website I found a very nice looking converted VEPR, that pretty much fits the bill for exactly what I want cosmetically- wood stock (preferably red) and a side scope mounting bracket to leave myself...

      Glock knuckle home remedy

      ... A dremel tool after a bottle of liquid confidence. With the upcoming MAG 40 that I'm attending, I decided to remove the uncomfortable bump on the underside of the trigger guard on my G19. At this point I'm almost done with the contour, I think I'm going to radius it just a tad more and...

      1911 not going into battery

      I have a 2008 vintage RIA GI 1911 that is occasionally failing to properly grab the cartridge in the extractor and push it into the chamber. For some reason the cartridge is being released early and the extractor won't snap over the rim (I know that's not how it's supposed to work in the first...

      Crimson Trace has awesome customer service

      Title says it all. I had a broken battery terminal on my J frame lasergrips, sent it to them to evaluate for repair, they found it unrepairable and are sending me a new set. Backstory that makes this amazing to me: I am not the original purchaser (came on a used S&W I bought) and the ones I...

      Headed to NC this weekend, what do I need to know?

      As stated, I'm heading to NC this weekend for our first family vacation (yet to be seen how relaxing it will be with a baby and 2 dogs). I'm reading up on handgunlaw.us and plan on linking over to NC's firearms code as well, it all seems fairly straightforward, I was just wondering if there were...

      Report gun crime anonymously

      http://www.businessreviewusa.com/press_releases/targeting-gun-crime Apparently they've put up billboards with the number of a hotline in Baltimore and PGCO. Think I'd get in trouble if I called in and reported that the Feds were smuggling guns to Mexican cartels? ;)

      Surefire G2X

      I just got my surefire g2x tactical for my AR today from the big brown truck of fun. First impressions are that's it's a seriously bright lil bugger and pretty solid, as it better be because I paid the surefire tax, again. I've got it mounted in a Daniel Defense 6000 offset mount and it's a...

      Grendel P12 .380

      Anybody know anything about these pistols? It seems they've been discontinued for some years and didn't cost much to begin with, and don't have much of a reputation. Well my father in law has one and brought it to me to fix it (broken hammer spring). Seems like parts for these are few and far...

      Fox news article on safe gun storage at home

      http://www.foxnews.com/leisure/2012/01/21/tips-for-firearm-storage-at-home/ Good for them, even if it is an opinion piece. It's nice to see the MSM post stuff like this in a positive light.

      Anybody hunt deer with a .223? (AR15)

      I'm sure I'm gonna get some flak for this one but here it goes... After finishing my AR build, in which hunting was not in my realm of concern for it, I heard a few discussions about hunting whitetails with .223. The one I heard and believe is the most credible was on Tom Gresham's show last...

      Interesting AR quirk. Is this normal?

      So yesterday while showing my rifle to some friends and pushing them toward building ARs for themselves I noticed an issue... While setting the rifle down to lean it against the wall, with the bolt locked open, when I set the stock on the floor it was enough of a jar to unlock and close the...

      Counterboring a muzzle loader???

      I have an octagonal barreled TC hawken rifle that was not cleaned well before sitting for years before I was given it. The 2 inches of the bore closest to the muzzle have pretty severe rust and pitting and I can't get it to shoot consistently. I've been thinking about counterboring this rifle...

      AR build- gas blocks

      So for those of you who have already been through this, set screw or clamp on? I just got my lower to build up my first AR and noticed that when you buy an upper with a front sight gas block it's pinned in place, can this be done with a low profile gas block by a gunsmith? Maybe by Brownells if...

      Rocket launch tonight in VA

      Not outdoor sports or guns but NASA is shooting something... I just learned today that NASA has a launch facility just south of chincoteague island right on the ocean called Wallops island. Tonight at 828 they are launching a Minotaur rocket with a satellite for the DoD that was scheduled for...

      Billet AR receivers worth it?

      I searched the site but didn't find what I was looking for (but the fact that i may have just missed it is quite possible). Anyway I've decided to jump right in and build my first AR and was wondering about the billet receivers. Has anyone had any experience with them? Are they worth it or just...

      Reintroduction from Bowie

      Greetings once again! I've been a member some time now but only ever made a few posts and it's been quite a while since I've done that. Now I've got one of those newfangled smart phones and got the forum on it so I'll be on much more regularly.

      "New" J frame

      Managed to pick up this beauty on the used market for a great price. Not sure what year but I do know that its an older S&W 649, when they were .38 only. Came with Crimson Trace grips already on it, excellent bore and chambers, very little signs of wear and came with a leather pocket holster...

      Reloading bench

      Just finished building my new reloading bench and wanted to show off the fruits of my labor and see what other people had set up for more ideas. Managed to acquire all the reloading tools VERY inexpensively (30 years old, new in the box). the top surface is maple butcher block that I found...
