    Boyd's Stock on a Ruger American

    Again, not an American but I put a Boyds stock and forend on a Remington 750 semi-auto rifle. The only problem I had was the butt bolt that came with the rifle was not the right size for the Boyds stock but Boyds sent a replacement at no cost. Everything fit right.

    Is this normal?

    My Bersa Thunder does the same thing. I would assume that any gun with the safety as a decocker would do that.

    New LCP here and first post

    Make sure you get a good pocket holster. That thing has no safety and can snag on anything you have in your pocket.

    Mini-14 for Alaska carry?

    Really, when you learn to shoot a single shot 22 you learn to be good at it. I regularly would hit the bottom of a coffee can (about 6 inches in diameter) at over 100 yards with mine and the bear was only 30 feet from him. I would also shoot squirrels, rattlesnakes and even quail with it...

    Min-14 Mag Recommendations

    The 10 round magazines have an issue with not being able to be inserted with 10 rounds and the bolt closed. 9 works. 10 works if the bolt is open.

    Mini-14 for Alaska carry?

    I read a story where a kid killed a grizzly with a 22. The bear got up on his hind legs, just like grizzlies do, and when he roared the kid shot him in the mouth. Right into the brain. A 223 will work just fine if you know how to shoot. The problem is most people think 223s are only for ARs...

    Glock trigger ,on ND,,

    Very simply if everything is controlled by one action on the trigger it is NOT a safety. It prevents a discharge if the gun is dropped and that is it.

    Why no LC380 discussions

    Don't want any Glock leg, thank you.

    Why no LC380 discussions

    From articles I've read the snappy recoil of the LCP is pretty much the same as the LC9 because it is so light. The felt recoil of the LC380 is about half that of either of the others. And in a gun this light recoil translates into accuracy. I have found that even with the Saint Arms trigger...

    Why no LC380 discussions

    The trigger is like the LC9 since it is the same gun except for barrel, recoil spring and magazine. The Saint Arms trigger arm helps a bunch.

    Ruger AR556 Bipod Mount

    Why a bipod with that extra weight hanging on the front. This thing is not a sniper rifle.

    AR556 Front Sight

    Put an inexpensive reflex sight on it. ARs are meant for quick target acquisition and firing, not sighted.

    Question on shot gun set up

    Shotgunning can be a lot of fun but does take a lot of practice. And as mentioned here it is not practice aiming but more practice getting the gun in the same place every time. As I kid I used a single shot 22 nearly every day and got to the point where I could shoot a quail on the fly and a...

    Get Them While They Last . . . .

    The manual says it can be done either way. I bought this rifle for home defense and, therefore, want to keep it loaded. But I don't want to keep a round in the chamber.

    Why no LC380 discussions

    I see a lot of LCP and LC9 discussions but no LC380. Is this just not a popular gun?
