      In search of Ruger LCRx 38 cal 3 inch barrel front sight wisdom

      I recently was able to lay my hands on a NIB Ruger LCRx 38 cal with a 3 inch barrel, after waiting a long time. While I have a ways to go before I'm anywhere close to mastering it -- this is my first experience with a light weight wheel gun and my first with less than a 4 inch barrel -- so far...

      Must have been a heck of a boating accident -- TWO 50 cal Barretts!?!?!

      This must have been one hell of a "boating accident" . . . . The Kid and Grandpa reeled in TWO 50 cal Barretts!! https://www.newsweek.com/florida-boy-reels-sniper-rifles-magnet-fishing-grandpa-1674879

      Curved or Flat Trigger, Which to Choose . . . .

      So, after saving up my pandemic pennies, I'm thinking about picking up a Sig 9 mil, I'm still researching the options, so I don't know which model yet, but I'm thinking it will be full size -- I've got big hands and fingers and no reason to go CCW -- probably not a striker fire, and I'm not...

      CZ 75B Omega Safety Installation Question

      I have replaced the factory installed decocker on my CZ 75B Omega with the safety setup as provided out-of-the-box. I watched a couple of YouTube videos before making the installation. The safety side lever appears to be sitting flush, or as flush as appears to be possible. The safety works...

      To muzzle brake my 308 or not, that is the question.

      Thanks to the good advice that I received on an earlier post regarding budget level bolt action .308s, I picked up a Ruger American Predator, 18 inches, with a threaded barrel. I'm a newbie when it comes to bolt actions and to 308s. I took it to an indoor range last weekend to sight it in, and...

      Bolt Action .308 Buying Advice

      So I'm thinking of adding a .308 bolt action rifle, 18 to 22 inch barrel, to my collection. And I'm on a tight budget. I'm thinking about either a Remington 700, Remington 783, Savage Arms Axis II XP, or Ruger American. Your thoughts, the good, the bad, and the ugly?

      Ruger 10/22LR Stovepiping Help!

      I just returned from the indoor range with my brand new 10/22LR (base model), shooting it for the first time. Yesterday, I ran a patch through the barrel and lightly oiled the bolt action. I ran 100 rounds through it today and had three stove piping incidents. WTH?!?!?!? I used Fiocchi...

      A question about scopes, parallax settins, and a Ruger 10/22LR

      So, I'm shopping around for a scope to mount on a Ruger 10/22LR. And I'm wondering whether I'm better off going with a scope with fixed parallax setting at 50 yards or a scope fixed with a parallax setting at 100 yards. Your thoughts? And I'd also appreciate hearing thoughts/experiences...

      Has anyone been having glitches with the NICS 4473 process lately?

      I'm frustrated and confused. In early December of last year, I picked up a Remington 870, submitted the 4473, it flew through, and I walked out happy, total of half-an-hour. My first long gun purchase in a very, very, very long time. On February 17th, I went back to pick up a Ruger 10/22...

      Mature Egg Laying (Chicken) Hens & Coyotes Question

      Is there any chance anyone knows where I might be able to lay my hands on a bunch of mature (chicken) egg laying hens? Long story short, a good friend and work colleague of mine lives with his family on a small farm outside of Frederick, MD. And unfortunately, a couple of coyotes got into...

      Has anyone been having issues with the NICS system lately?

      Here is the back story. I picked up my Remington 870 Express 12 gauge in late November/early December, did the electronic Form 4473 thing, and got the approval back within between 15 and 30 minutes, walked out of the shop happy. I went back early during the recent Federal Government...

      All politics aside, Damn this Federal Government Shutdown . . . .

      I'm a furloughed (read "laid off" without a paycheck) Federal Government employee. With some time on my hands and some "spare change" still jingling around in my pocket, thinking that this would be a good time to get to know it, with all of the free time on my hands. I went this morning to...

      Remington 870 Express 12 gauge modifications question

      Greetings all. I just picked up a Remington 870 Express 12 gauge, and it has been ages since I've handled a pump action shotgun. I intend to use it for trap shooting and waterfowl and upland game hunting. I'm interested in hearing about any modifications that you might have made to yours...

      MoCo Police Dept. Firarms Task Force

      I'm embarrased to have to ask, but I'm wondering if anyone has had any experience with the MoCo Police Department's Firearms Task Force. Long story short, several weeks ago I was involved in a minor fender bender on my way back home from the range. A police officer who happened to be passing...

      Beretta Discontinuing the M9A1 Already???

      Greetings, I'm a newbie to the board, and want to throw out my first question. So, I was at a local gun shop the other day looking at Berettas and the proprietor said that he was offering a great deal on his M9A1s -- a whopping $25 below MSRP :bannana:-- because he had received more of them...
