      Cant put a price on this

      I went to FL to see my Dad and brought these home. Bottom is a Daisy bb gun, first "gun" I ever shot. Next one is a Russell Arms Co. double barrel. This one is a wall hanger, as Dad would not let us shoot it. Said it wasn't safe for us kids, and it still isn't, lol. Next one up is a Harrington...

      RMR question

      I dont know much about the rmr, but my eyes are telling me its time to learn. I know trijicon is as close to bullet-proof as there is. But are there models to avoid? They have battery versions and dual illuminated. Should I look at one more than the other? Thanks.

      dealing with injury

      My wife fell last Friday and fractured both leg bones at her left ankle. This has had me thinking about how an accident/injury would change my tactics/mindset. She has severe osteo arthritis and relapsing MS, so whenever we go out, she is already in a wheelchair or electric scooter. So her...

      Howa HCR

      So lately I have been hankering for a longer range bolt gun. I like the look, and price of the HCR. It seems to have good reviews, but thought I would ask for real world opinions. I dont hunt anymore, so this would be a low volume, range gun. I also have not decided between 308 or 6.5 creedmoor...

      Ruger American

      I got an email from Rural King, they have a Ruger American .308 for $269.00. I have no idea if this is a good deal, or a good rifle, but thought I would pass it along.

      advice for my son

      I got a text from my oldest son saying he is going to get a handgun and his license. He wants advice on the gun. My advice was a handgun safe, as he has 4 of my grand kids in the house. Training on gun safety/gun handling, as he has 4 of my grand kids in the house. Find a shop where he can...

      build or buy

      I bought my first ar a couple of years ago. I built an ar pistol later, and after I built it, found I did not care about the rifle anymore. I traded the rifle on a handgun. Now I am debating on building a rifle. It would be a range gun mainly. My current debate is whether to start the build...

      Wally-world knives

      I was doing my usual walk through at wally world and noticed they have a okc rat1 and a crkt fossil. Any experience/ advice from ingoers more blade savvy than myself on these? The rat looks more utilitarian, the fossil caught my eye because of its look.

      recommend a 22 rifle

      I have been thinking about a 22 rifle. My wife is disabled and kinda scared of the ar pistol. We also have 17 grandkids, some of which are plenty old enough to shoot one. I fondly remember my Dad's Mossberg, except when he found out I shot the wind vane on top of the barn, lol. What...

      finally ready

      One of my goals for this year is to take some handgun training. Medical issues with my wife put those plans on hold for awhile. We hit the out of pocket max on the medical insurance early last month, so the latest overtime will let me sign up for some handgun training. I also traded for a M&P 9...

      Too much?

      So the wife and I were in the courtyard area at the hotel tonight. I mention that I have six mags loaded on me. She asked why so much, I replied that the cargo shorts have plenty of pocket space, and we are in the Detroit area. I thought that was reason enough. Guess I wont tell her why I used...

      sharpen a double edged hawk bill?

      I recently got a Shrade karambit/hawkbill. I have been debating the process to use for when I need to sharpen it. The only thing I currently have is a piece of pvc that I can wrap sandpaper around. Since I am not in a big hurry to Rhinoize myself, (no offense to Rhino intended), I thought I...

      need help from the experts

      My most prized gun is a Range Officer 9mm. I know it is nothing special to alot of you, but it was a gift from my wife with part of her inheritance after her Dad passed. It is a safe queen other than trips to the range, too much sentimental value to me to consider carrying it. I have been...

      two guns for training

      As I am starting to look into handgun training, I am seeing alot of places saying to bring two guns. One as the primary and one in case of failure. I have a M&P 9C and a 9mm Range Officer. I understand the logic behind having a backup gun for classes. My problem is, I really dont want to use the...

      9mm revolver?

      So I have been toying with the idea of getting a revolver, as we do not have one in the house. My only experience with revolvers was as a kid, shooting Dads S&W 38 special. This gun would primarily be a, just because, this is still 'merica, and I can, purchase. Secondly, I am hoping the Boss...

      first range trip

      So I made it out today to run the first 2 mags through my ar pistol. I built this pistol, maybe assembled would be a better term. Other than operator error in babying the bolt when chambering the first round, everything functioned suprisingly well.:ar15:So far I am pleased with the end result.

      First parts on the way.

      One of my goals for this year is to build an ar pistol. I happened to catch a daily deal at Palmetto, and ordered a lower kit with pistol brace. Got an email saying it has shipped. As much as doing an 80% lower appeals to me, I think I will go to Vision Defense, where my rifle was built, and buy...

      2017 project

      Not sure if this is the right place for this, so mods feel free to move it if it is not. I have been wanting to assemble an ar pistol and hope to do it this year. My plan is to use it as my primary HD gun. I am still trying to decide between 5.56 and 300 blackout. I have a 5.56 rifle, so I...

      Hello from NE Indiana

      Hi, my name is Randy. I live in Kendallville, about 25 miles north of Ft. Wayne. I switched jobs about 2 yrs. ago and had to start working night shift. The wife did not like being alone at night so we started looking at guns. I grew up around guns, but she had never seen one in person, let alone...
