      Public lands and Hunting. Declining numbers of hunters

      Thanks for the advice. I have an Excalibur Micro Suppressor which meets those specs. I'll keep an eye out for the bow hunter class. I didn't know there was one!

      Public lands and Hunting. Declining numbers of hunters

      Whitetail with a crossbow, primarily. I have a M1a Scout in .308 and ARs in .223, among other guns, but admittedly neither are "traditional" bolt action hunting rifles. I'd be open to anything, really, but I don't have a shotgun. Yet.

      Public lands and Hunting. Declining numbers of hunters

      I'm in the boat of having a father who didn't hunt so I never learned as a kid. Now I'm in my mid-30s and looking to get in to the sport. I've completed Hunter Ed, have a license but missed the MD Mentored Hunt Program this season. Any tips for finding someone willing to take a newbie out of...

      Surplus M2 Ball ammo?

      Try www.ammogarand.com. I've purchased from them in the past with good results. Supplies and offerings ebb and flow.

      new AR zero

      They have good customer service and the rep I spoke with about free-floating their HBAR varmint rifle was a friendly guy who you could tell liked to chat about guns. They have a good warranty. I also find their email newsletters full of useful information from their gunsmith on how to modify a...

      Online purchase

      If you're looking to buy new, try calling other gun shops. Many can order what you want from their distributors. I've found that buying a gun online and then having to pay a LGS the transfer fee didn't really save me that much money in the long run. Especially if the seller is on Gunbroker...

      WV or PA for retirement?

      I have a colleague who retired in WV but regrets it and said PA would have been better because, "Pennsylvania is one of only two states to exclude virtually every type of retirement income from taxation according to Kiplinger. Public and private pensions, railroad retirement benefits and all...

      Ruger Mini-14

      I find I shoot my Mini as much as my ARs. Yes, Minis are indeed fun. I agree with everything that has already been said. It is enjoyable to own and shoot but ARs outperform it in many ways, mainly ergonomics, changing magazines and accuracy. I'd say the Mini is more tolerant of use and...

      Kudos to Criterion Barrels

      I was working on an AR-15 build and spent weeks looking for a specific barrel before I came across it on Criterion Barrels’ website. It is a 16” HBAR, mid-length gas, chrome lined, parkerized finish, 1:8 twist, threaded muzzle, chambered in .223 Wylde. Normally they sell barrels through...

      I'd get a L t-shirt or two. Preferably not white. Thanks!

      Appleseed Maryland 2015 Thread

      Thanks! I bought a bunch of targets from Fred's to practice. I also repeatedly watched old army training videos on YouTube and endured the mockery from my wife.

      Appleseed Maryland 2015 Thread

      I went to my first Appleseed yesterday and had a great time. I learned a lot thanks to the excellent instructors and my shooting improved throughout the day as I applied their lessons and feedback. I earned my Rifleman patch, which was my New Year’s resolution after learning about the program...
