    Winchester Ballistics Calculator- scope view?

    I know this may be better placed in the Optics or accessories forums, but this section gets read more. I'm trying to find a way to get the app to work as it used to; it used to have a "Scope View" that would easily/quickly show bullet drop based on zero and actual target distance. It would let...

    Astra A80/A90/A100 38 Super, magazine question

    Hi, I recently picked up an Astra A90 in very good condition, in 45acp with one mag (and the original Interarms box). I have also added an A100 slide, 9mm recoil spring, 2 magazines for 9mm, and barrels for 9mm and 38 Super (this one from an A80). The A80, A90 and A100 slides interchange, and...

    Seller shipped to buyer, not FFL. What to do?

    I bought some handguns on Ward's Collectibles. After winning, they had me contact my receiving FFL. Afterwards both parties acknowledged they were in contact and exchanged info. Today I get my UPS tracking info, and UPS says it is shipping to my address tomorrow (at least the email I received...

    So, changes being implemented starting today with firearms transfers?

    I'm putting this in Legal, since I'm commenting on the new laws going into effect. I bought an upper and lower (AR-10 platform) online almost a month ago, didn't ship for a couple weeks. Came in Monday, shop was closed doing inhouse paperwork, wouldn't do the transfer for me when I called. I...

    Anyone with any hand's on experience with BCA AR-10/LR-308?

    I'm looking around at this platform (AR in 308), and this has piqued my curiosity. I did a price check, and you can get a complete lower ($299) and complete upper (somewhere in the $300's) from them, and get a complete rifle for under $700. I understand it's not a widely respected brand, but...

    Another question concerning the Red Flag laws

    I know, I've seen a couple of these threads, and they get closed because people don't know yet; they are researching things still. That's fine, I just have something I'd like examined when you look it all over. The scope of the Red Flag laws, is that going to be limited to people you know, or...

    Geco/Norma ammo recall, 9mm

    I got this email the other day. I had ordered a case of Geco 124gr FMJ loose in an ammo can, I just checked and mine is one of the ones in question. For those curious, this was a deal for a case at $300, which would have appealed to many. They list both Geco and Norma, if you bought it...

    Looking for range case options about 30 inches...

    Hi, trying to find some inexpensive carrying options to bring some firearms to the range. I have plenty of cheap rifle cases, both soft and hard. Handgun cases too. We've got a few AR pistols (10.5" barrel), with red dot and/or reflex sites on them. The cases I own, one gun fits but leaves an...

    Russian ammo- corrosive?

    I remember a time when it was considered a rule of thumb that Russian, Berdan-primed ammo was going to have corrosive primers. I think most of that was surplus, but I think that was part of the reason that stuff was considered a bit on the no-go side. I've shot 'modern' Russian steel for years...

    Any reviews of these new/unknown ammo brands?

    I know this is technically an ammo thread and not a firearm question, but I wanted to put it out somewhere to get responses. Prior to the panic shortages, we all had our favorite brands, and usually a pecking order of best to worst. For me, mostly in 9mm, I would buy Sellier & Bellot first...

    Extraction issues with a C308 (Cetme)?

    This isn't a complaint, it's an observation and I'm wondering if someone might have insight into what's happening; I picked up a Century C308 with wood furniture just before Covid tore our lives apart. Decent price, $600. Here's what I've noticed about the rifle in the past couple years- front...

    Any updates on the brace situation?

    I know the deadline has passed to comment/complain about the proposed new interpretation. Is there any timeframe on this? Do we just sit tight and wait, to see if many of us are now in possession of a SBR per the ATF?

    This "Russian Ammo Ban"... what does it mean for collectors?

    We've got threads discussing the effects of losing access to cheap Russian ammo. That isn't the purpose of this thread, but rather, another possible effect of this. This condition: My emphasis with the bold text. My question- Mausers, Walthers, Star Model B's, and any other weapons employed...

    Is there a list of "good" pistol lower/brace setups?

    So, I have 1 AR pistol, and I'm just curious about this new proposed ATF brace rule. I know they have the form available, but I was wondering if anyone has started grouping potential combos and giving the "starting points". For example, mine is a pistol lower from Palmetto State Armory, with a...

    so my range membership is coming up for renewal...

    I'm paying for a family plan for an indoor place near the house. They've allowed me to keep this after my son technically outgrew the age, since we started while he was still under. I'm strongly considering letting it lapse, for the following reasons: It's $15 a day per person, now up to $500...

    Ammo predictions (5/6/21)?

    I know this is a touchy subject, threads get whacked a lot as we veer off topic, and the topic itself does get repeated and beaten to death. If this belongs in a different forum group, mods please move it... So that said, within the last month I've noticed a HUGE increase in my email inbox...

    What was the gun that seeded your hobby?

    I don't mean your first gun, I mean the one that started you down the road to owning "quite a few", and pushed you to become active at the range, etc. My first gun was a Norinco T-54, in 9mm. I still have it, and still like it. But it directly didn't lead to my collection tendencies; although...

    How to clean a PISTOL after shooting corrosive ammo?

    I figure I'd ask this here, in the hopes someone with more experience than I can give me a few pointers. I'm good with cleaning a bolt action rifle, that's pretty straight-forward. Boiling water down the pipe, followed by a couple patches with ballistol. But given the current ammo crunch...

    "Easily" converted pistols; what are the options?

    In a normal world, 9x19mm Parabellum is the cheapest and most common centerfire ammo around, and you can grab a lot of guns in that caliber. And ammo is easy to come by. Things aren't normal. Ammo is scarce and expensive, and some of the other, more obscure ammo is more available and currently...

    Converted my Norinco T-54 from 9mm to 7.62 Tok...

    I just completed this little project, something I'd thought about doing but had never gotten around to it. Due to current ammo shortages and prices, I decided it was finally time. Brief background- I have a Norinco T-54 that I got NIB at a gunshow decades ago; it was my first purchased...
