    Police clerk stealing evidence guns..

    Re: Police clerk stealing evidence guns.. I'm not shocked by this, as we in Memphis TN have had our problems with this type of thing. In fact, we had a problem with our (MPD's) property clerk, resulting in indictments etc. Over a THREE year period, according to our DA, 116.6 Kilograms of...

    Pricing of handguns vs ARs vs bolts

    Re: Pricing of handguns vs ARs vs bolts The US has a protected market, to be sure. Small arms around the world cost a fraction of what they do here, AKs for example (as well as military cased ammo). Think about a new frig in the kitchen, ice maker, super compressor etc., cost less than a...

    New Army Rifle, range 2300meters XM25

    Looks like the Army is going to buy 10,000+ XM25 rifles this year, game changer-big game change for snipers, and all others, it won't be long before others are making their copy, 2000+ feet range,"can't miss" type weapon. I'd like to see at least one per squad.

    260AI or 308 Win

    Re: 260AI or 308 Win 260AI, run at AI loads, I'd be surprised to find you got more than 2000 rounds/tube, my guess would be closer to 1500, somewhere around 1/2 to 1/3 as many as you'll get from a 308. If you really want to get the most out of an "overbore" round, you need to have enough...

    Rifle Scopes Mounting to an AR-15 Carry Handle

    Re: Mounting to an AR-15 Carry Handle In the "old days", before flattops were common, a lot of guys had a second hold drilled in the handle and added a second bolt, the single "thumb screw" just never seemed to hold the mount in place. It is a very easy mod, and really does make the mount...

    Re: leopold 10x fixed power It may be one of the old M3's, premier ret (in the old days)would put the footballs mil-dots in there for you (with leupold's blessing), new generation running things, don't think they'll do it now. BTW the M3's (not with target cross hairs) was orignally on the...

    OZONE GENERATOR

    Re: OZONE GENERATOR Smoke is a solid, not a gas. Ozone electrically charges the particle(s) allowing it to "stick" to the walls, floors etc. If you are smoking in a garage a lot, you may be better served by a high volume fan, pulling the smoke out, before it settles out, then of course, a...

    Is it legal to own optics that Say U.S. Propery?

    Re: Is it legal to own optics that Say U.S. Propery? BTW, Houston Armory has PVS-14s, Milspec that have undergone the certification process for sale $400.00-$500.00, there are others. These things have been around for a while. Rebuild shops etc. for NV are around, in fact, some of the...

    Rifle Scopes weaver scope ??

    Re: weaver scope ?? Is there a chart that shows where all (or most) of the Mfgs. scopes are made? It seems if they are made in China, few want them, they must be junk, this many people can't be wrong! What other, well known scopes MFGs are producing scopes in China? I guess we should all be...

    Is it legal to own optics that Say U.S. Propery?

    Re: Is it legal to own optics that Say U.S. Propery? Yes, it is legal to own them. tens of millions of dollars worth of govt property is sold every year (if not month), contractors often have over runs, and some of their products do not pass final inspection etc., unless it is a "special...

    Rifle Scopes TPS sucks, or maybe jus me.

    Re: TPS sucks, or maybe jus me. Some of the posts on this string are interesting, I've learned something, customer service can suck as long as there are others selling your products that have good customer service. My original take regarding the screeeeching on this board regarding poor...

    Rifle Scopes TPS sucks, or maybe jus me.

    Re: TPS sucks, or maybe jus me. I can only imagine the screeeching if a company such as Leupold, or Zeiss etc treated their customers in the same fashion. A loud call to boycott would be bouncing off the walls here in the hide! When ever a company is talked about, their [the company in...

    Re: TPS sucks, or maybe jus me. This is a weird string!!! I can't count how many times I've read posters going on and on about how important customer service is to them, how important the way they have been treated by a given company etc. Yet, here we find a company that treats a customer...

    Key to accuracy?

    Re: Key to accuracy? Actions are a series of trade offs, to make an action Very Stiff-as in world class, world record setting bench rest, you will limit yourself to a single shot, and heavy. The bigger the magazine opening, generally speaking the less stiff an action is, ie. 700 rem LA vs SA...

    Guns as long term investments

    Re: Guns as long term investments Long term, usually means: more than one year. In order to make money on guns, and they usually do go up in value (as a class), you'll be holding them for more than a year, several years in fact. I see guns for sale (on this site in fact, among others) that...

    FN SPR A5 Dealer?

    Re: FN SPR A5 Dealer? Check out Buds Gunshop, they usually have the lowest price around-and their site actually tells you if it is in stock or not. There are far to many sites that are "dealers" in X, and list it, but they don't seem to stock much, in fact many don't stock 1/10 of what they list.

    Re: "Melonite barrel treatment" (DONE)!!!!

    Re: "Melonite barrel treatment" (DONE)!!!! I think most barrels wear from the throat, but I don't see how this treatment is going to stop barrel wear in the throat. Are they claiming that Melonite has that big an effect on throat wear? It would be like claiming your cutting torch couldn't...
