Is there a way to tell the difference between the sounds of fireworks vs firearms?

Say for example, firecracker vs small handgun?

Help! LEFT HANDED 7BC build.

2 Upvotes

Currently no one besides Savage manufactures a 7BC in left hand besides some freakishly expensive companies.

I am looking to build one for around 1500$
I currently hunt with a ROUGHTECH Tx3 .300

I have never built a bolt action.
I was wondering if anyone has a build sheet for something like this!
Ideally 16 ish inch barrel. I’m in the thick woods of north Idaho

Colt 22 thread/adapter

I just got a can for my colt M4 22 LR , but the thread on the end of the barrel doesn’t match the GEM tech GM 22 can I just bought. Is there an adapter I can buy or do I need to switch out the barrel?

Want to replace the Sig for Carry

4 Upvotes

Yes, that Sig. I'm trying to find a handgun chambered in .45 acp that has a rail which will fit my laser / light (Streamlight TLR-8). I was looking at a Springfield XD 45 Compact but then I seen people complaining about it and I don't really know a whole lot about guns, so I haven't been able to find a good alternative. Ideally, I'd like it to be obtainable for around $500 but I'm open to going higher than that in case I decide to save up for a pricy one

Is it normal to get pretty hot after a few mins of use? It's not HOT HOT but very warm.

Taurus 856 concealed hammer is a good choice?

6 Upvotes

I already know about other brands like S&W but here in Honduras Only Taurus are available in the "revolver" category, and the crime rate here is pretty bad. I need a concealable little gun to use in my 5.11 pants pockets with my tactical knife.

Found some cool old ammo at a thrift shop today. 1870s 41 Swiss rimfire, a civil war era 32 cal teat-fire cartridge, a box of late 1800s/early 1900s 38 S&W, a partial box of 1880s 32 short rimfire, and a box of vintage 22cal tear gas cartridges made in West Germany.

The GP100 isnt named, but it seems odd to have it left over. It is one of the few revolvers good for uspsa anymore which may be why.

Advice for removing these scratches?

Post image
57 Upvotes

This is a new to me Interarms Walther PPK/S .380. It has these very shallow scratches around the Interarms logo. Shallow enough I don't feel them with my fingernail. Can I safely polish this off without damaging the logo? Will it be an obnoxious amount of work for it to still look blended in with the rest of the slide?

Also, there's what looks like weld marks on both sides of the chamber, which can be seen on one side through the ejection port. Can I safely polish that as well? Should I?

Any advice is appreciated. I don't want to do anything stupid to it and make it look any worse.

.45 +p training rounds?

0 Upvotes

Thinking about carrying .45 over pressured hollow points but I’d like to shoot some at the range to get a feel of the difference. I can only find hollow points which are obviously more expensive. Anyone know of any cheaper rounds I can use at the range?

Distraught at the changes Ruger is making

83 Upvotes

Ruger is Discontinuing a huge chunk of their legacy models. Most of their Revolvers, most of the PC series. My PC Carbine is a great gun. 9mm 16 barrel carbine that looks like a traditional hunting rifle, has a top and bottom pic rail, has great iron sights,takes down into 2, and takes glock mags. I mean there aren't really that many pickings there, at least aesthetically. It's nice to have the option to get a PCC that's not trying to be a mini ar or an mp5.

And Ruger is just gutting their revolver lines. Pretty soon the smith 642/442 will be the only real player in the conceal carry revolver market. With the LCR getting the axe, Smith will have no reason to keep making the bodyguard 38. I don't think other companies offer anything as light weight and in the same price class as the 642 except Ruger with the LCR.

Ig Ruger is just gonna sell LCP's, max 9s, securities,RXM's and mini 14's lol.

Taurus and +P

0 Upvotes

Hello,

So I have a 9mm Taurus G2S that I customized with a new recoil spring etc etc.

I have two magazines. I have one filled with Hornady Critical Defense, and the other with Critical Duty.

It says in the manual that +P is okay in it. Not +P+ but the Hornady Critical duty +P is apparently okay.

For basic self defense walking around town most always.

I’d appreciate all of your input and suggestions if you have a moment.

Thank you!

Can I get a decent hunting scope for around $500?

Looking into purchasing my first hunting rifle this fall, I am planning on a Tikka T3x .308. I am in California and will mostly be doing public-land hunting for pigs and mule deer. Any recommendations for a scope that will have the appropriate magnification that won't break the bank?
