The waiting is over, zombie apocalypse / TEOTWAWKI / WROL / SHTF has happened.
Situation requires that you keep your (one) rifle/carbine with you at all times: at home, in the vehicle, while conducting "missions", throughout your Area of Operations.
All the other rifles you own were lost /...
While observing the mad scramble of nearly everyone to gather food, supplies, ammo and guns because of this COVID19 pandemic, I have been pondering what is fundamentally different between those that have been preparing for potential food (other forms of) insecurity, and those that live...
Indiana generally feels like a “free” state of liberty minded rugged individualists. But in several cases our laws and government seem to indicate that we are not quite so fully free. Red flag law comes to mind, as does our utility-favoring solar generation law. But when I realized that 16...
For sale is Wolf 9x19 ammo, 115 gr projectile, steel case with gray polymer coating. New and unopened. 2012 vintage.
1850 rounds, only asking $6 per 50 round box, or $220 cash for all of it. Cheap.
Full disclosure: this does not feed well in my Glock magazines. If you have good...
Today Sept 01 I bought a Glock 19 Gen 5 at Phoenix Guns in Columbus.
They always have a great inventory and had several on hand this week.
It clearly is a natural evolution of all previous generations, with many improvements you've probably read about.
Some of the better features...
I came across this local (to Columbus IN) radio station interview of the proprietor of Phoenix Guns in Columbus. While Obummer's redefinition of who is in the gun business could drive profitable business to the FFLs, Mike Hatfield seems to put the interests of gun ownership ahead of business...
I know that complete SBRs are available for sale with NFA paperwork, but do dealers sell bare SBR lowers also? about how much should one expect to pay for a bare SBR lower, plus of course the $200 tax stamp.
Well 22LR is still hard to find for cheap, but I did come across a great deal on Winchester primers. WLR, WLP, WSP. Also some CCIs. $25 and change per 1k, plus IN sales tax, no shipping or HazMat fees.
The deal is at Phoenix Guns in Columbus, IN. 812.378.5727. See owners Mike and Carolyn...
It seems that this forum has hit the summer doldrums so I will attempt to liven it up.
Since life works something like this: you prepare > things happen > you react > consequences, I propose to descripe a situation, and let others comment on their reactions. I will choose one of the reactions...
These Ruger GSR rifles in 308 WIN seem like excellent hosts for suppressors (short barrel, no gas blow back with bolt action,) and for use with subsonic ammo (fast twist and you don't have to worry about action cycling). They have been hard to find. I was at Phoenix Guns in Columbus...
I hunted with a 458 socom last year, and it is MORE than enough gun for whitetail. Since IN passed the hunting with suppressor law, I am reconsidering caliber, rifle, and now suppressor. Combination recommendations? Looking for accuracy and quietness.
Can for the 458?
Ruger 77/44 with screw...
In case you haven't been there, they have great inventory of AR15s and 22LR ammo. A well stocked store, I've seen some deals there lately.
At most stores, all indications are gun prices and availability are returning to normal, however ammo still seems in short supply.
Since the mad rush of the last few months, I've been passing through several area shops to see what firearms and ammo are available. The best inventory I've seen lately, of both black rifles and 22LR ammo, is Phoenix gun store just south east of Columbus. They have great inventory and are...
I am interested in a combination of a 10.5" barreled AR upper and a suppressor to total a 16" OAL. How to proceed?
- Certainly the suppressor purchase is straightforward: $200 NFA stamp, etc.
- Do i just buy a 10.5" upper or do i need a stamp or something? Can i legally possess it before i get...
I need the advice of experienced can users. What is the best pistol and suppressor combination? I am intereted in centrrfire, seems like 45 ACP is a good slow choice, which brand and model pistol? Which can?
For sale is my Marlin Camp 45, in 45 ACP. These are getting hard to find and this one is in good condition. Shoots great / works fine. Just installed a new plastic buffer from Brownells. No obvious marks, blemishes, gouges, rust, etc. Uses standard 1911 mags, one Marlin brand mag included...
As I write this, it has been almost exactly 100 years since the Model 1911 pistol was designated as the standard service pistol for U.S. armed forces. When introduced, the John M. Browning designed pistol was absolutely state-of –the art. In fact semi-automatic pistols had only been around for...
