      Dunham's in Kokomo

      My bad, I thought the minimum age for a handgun in Indiana was 21, which was incorrect. So basically Dunham's was I admit, I was under the mistaken impression that you had to be 21 to own a handgun, but as you said, the situation with federal law and the noise that's been made about straw...

      M&J Firearms Fortville,IN

      Yeah, the owner really impressed me the first time I was in to order a Henry .22 (got a good deal on it there to). We were talking about a recent news story where his store had been broken into, and NO guns were stolen, because he locks them in a safe every night. His comment about it "It's...

      Dunham's in Kokomo

      While I understand your frustration, Dunham's was following the letter of the law.

      The Sad but True Pictures Thread, pt. 2

      I've had multiple times watching broadcast news and realizing that it's all b.s., one of that stands out to me was watching Fox news going on about the Ethiopian Air 737 Max crash, and as they continued to regurgitate the same speculation over and over again (speculating it may have been a...

      Copper plated 22lr vs non plated.

      The main difference I've noted, aside from lead fouling, is that my Ruger 22/45 Mark 3 was more likely to have a FTF with a lead round (and the round usually was mangled and hung up in the gun) the copper ones seemed to feed through it more reliably.

      Who keeps your Business?

      I suspect he does this with intent on cutting down on people coming in to try and buy a gun that don't have a chance of passing a background check, but I'm still not inclined to risk 25% of the purchase price of a gun staying in his pocket if the government messes up. Had a buddy that bought a...

      OK, which of you INGO Gun Smithers put this AK together???

      Ahh, got you, my Sig Sauer AR Tread I just bought last weekend came with a plastic ProMag, it seems thick enough, I'll have to keep an eye on it and see how it performs after I've had it a bit. :::Corection::: The included Magazine was a Magpul PMAG which is apparently different than a ProMag...

      OK, which of you INGO Gun Smithers put this AK together???

      Stupid question of the day, the first problem sign they point out is the fact that it's using a PMAG. As someone who doesn't have any experience with AK or AR platform, why are PMAGs bad?

      Black Aces Tactical

      THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS! I'd seen the Black Aces lever actions and kind of wanted one, you guys probably just saved me from wasting ~$400

      New AR help toss up between..

      Sig 716 Haven't had a chance to get to a range with it yet, but it seems a good solid rifle, every thing is staked properly, nice and solid.

      New AR help toss up between..

      Just as a counter point, I went to buy last weekend and couldn't find an AR-15 to save my life, did find (and purchased) a SIG AR-10 Tread (716), the place I bought it had plenty of .308 ammo on hand, I've also had an easier time finding .308 ammo on line than 5.56 or .223. Just some food for...

      Any recommendations on a good reliable 1911, at an affordable price?

      I know a lot of guys at the range I used to go to liked Rock Islands stuff, I personally have no experience with it. My only 1911 (so far) is a Remington 1911 R1S that I gave just shy of $800 for about 6 years ago, the can be had for cheaper now. It has been a good and reliable handgun, though...

      Indy 1500 Gunshow why you are or are not going.

      Not going because of the crowds, costs, and my experience at the smaller shows was there wasn't much in the way of deals to be had.

      How mad should I be?

      Normally, I'd be inclined to let it slide as a mistake, but public schools seem to be getting pretty high handed about telling people whats right or wrong and disregarding parents instructions these days. With that in mind, I'd lay into them hard on this on G.P.

      22 pistol preference

      I'm going to catch flack for this, but I really enjoy my Heritage Rough Rider pistol, it's a joy to shoot, and I find it to be decently accurate.

      Could you have stopped the evil?

      Could I have done it? Possibly, lot of variables, but I'd sure as hell try. I can accurately shoot my edc that far and hit a target. But as has been pointed out, he's mobile, and got a rifle. No matter how good you are, there is still going be luck involved.
