Simple question, hoping someone knows just off the top of their head. I have both Mec-Gar marked and Sig Sauer only marked 13 round 9mm mags for the 226. I didn't pay attention when disassembling for cleaning, and noticed that one or the other has longer springs. Followers and magazine base...

I'm looking to upgrade to a good FFP scope, still doing my homework on reticles, etc. I used to read this forum nearly every day, for years, but stopped some time ago. Looking to get back into it, and so I've been trying to figure out what makes the most sense for me and what I need, but the...

Looking to add a cheek saddle to a McMillan A3, is there a typical way this is done? Just order the kit from McMillan? Or are there other solid options out there? I have seen the ones that strap on with Velcro, but they are nearly the same price as the aluminum kit from McMillan. Also, what...

Has anybody used old ammo cans to make anything cool? I was given a huge ammo can from the boat-mounted miniguns, but obviously have no use for it for it's intended purpose. Looking for any ideas about turning it into something functional/useful/cool. Man cave stuff, whatver. Unfortunately I do...

Hey guys, I'm having a bit of a hard time trying to find a 3-gun course near the St. Louis area. I haven't done it before, but would love to find a reasonably close course that I could go check out. Especially if it was an open range. There are plenty of indoor pistol ranges, but I haven't found...

Hey guys, I'm looking to pick up a gas mask, but finding a US-made M40 that is affordable isn't the easiest. I'm not a hard core prepper, doomsdayist, or any of that jazz, just a guy who likes to be ready. While in the Corps I was a "gear queer", lol. Anyhow, I'm finding all sorts of Israeli...

Hey guys I've been suckered into helping my buddy Randy promote his new website, - FoodChallenges.com. Over the past few years, he's blown through every food challenge he can find, starting local, then doing close road trips, expanded out to all over the country, and finally even over to Europe...

I recently had my truck broken into outside my apartment, and of course there are no complex security cameras. I'm sifting through online reviews, but figured there may be a few of you on here with some valuable advice/experience, as many of you have some pretty nice cars/gun collections. I'm...

My kid brother is graduating SWCC next month, and I'm trying to figure out a good gift idea. I wanted to get something he can use in the field, but I know those guys have access to everything under the sun. Would appreciate any helpful ideas guys. Thanks.

This is my buddy Randy from high school. He goes all over the midwest completing food challenges, and just had his 27th birthday. The idea was to go to 27 different restaurants, and eat whatever they offered for free. Don't ask me to explain the funny/strange dancing, I have no clue what it is...

I'd heard numerous accounts of reporters/authors misidentifying AK-47's, but this was the first I'd seen myself... "To make sure the NPT can withstand long-term abuse, it was put through military-grade testing. Engineers shot test tires with 50-caliber rounds from an AK-47" Read more...

I like his list of trades he'd consider... Craigslist Ad

So I have been reading some older books on combat shooting with the pistol, and came across an interesting way of training. A former NY Stakeout Unit officer used to cover the rear sight of his student's pistols with tape, to have them hone their instinctual shooting skills. Has anyone done...

Already disappointed by the previews, from seeing Tom Cruise as "Jack Reacher". I've been a fan of these books for quite some time now, and they seem to have missed a big part of the story. In the books, Jack Reacher is 6'5" or so, 230ish, and has a grizzled older man sort of look. He's a...

Very exciting stuff! http://us-infantry.com/dod-to-release-new-5-56-nato-cartridge/

It looks like someone wasn't happy with a purchase? Hahaha... http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=318363786

I'm currently in the market for a used Ruger GP100 in .357, 4 inch barrel. After looking around quite a bit, I'm considering sending it to them (Gemini Customs) for one customizing packages. Has anybody used them, and if so what are your opinions of their work? Everything I've seen from their...

Only NV I ever used was night shoots while in the Corps, never used anything else. When it comes to 1st Gen vs 2nd, 3rd, and 4th. I don't have the money for anything high-end, but I don't want to get junk, either. Are the 1st/2nd generation scopes worth the $500-$700 I can afford to spend...

So this isn't supposed to be a real in depth question, just something I'm curious about the "what if" scenario that's presented by the "good guys" after shootings occur. Basically, how are police going to recognize good vs. bad in these situations? Would be rough luck to try and help out if you...

This may be a fairly basic concept, especially for you reloaders, but I found it fairly informative. http://www.luckygunner.com/labs/5-56-vs-223/
