    Can anyone recommend a gunsmith in Polk County area?

    I have an old Remington Model 514 .22 cal bolt action rifle. Unfortunately, the extractor doesn't work so I have to pull the spent casing out by hand. Can anyone recommend a gunsmith who is good and reasonably priced?

    late at night..flashlight or natural night vision

    This came to my mind after reading an article about "things that go bump in the night". The author heard something in the middle of the night. He grabbed his gun and flashlight and went to the top of the stairs. Now, I only speak for myself. But in the middle of the night, when I've been...

    Home at last!

    Finally! My Rock Island Armory 1911A1 is home! I've been going through some tough financial times recently and had to bring my RIA .45 and my Ruger SR9 to the pawn shop. Today, after 3 months of being unarmed, I was able to pick them both up. The .45 is my EDC and I've really missed her. I...

    I'm unarmed now.

    Well, since I've been out of work for so long, I've had to bring both my 9mm and my .45 to the pawn shop. It really feels strange to be going out armed with only a knife.

    New Gun Store in Tampa

    this was the front page story in the Sunday paper yesterday. It wasn't a BAD article, except for the writer calling magazines "clips", but overall, it was pretty fair. Link Removed I'm looking forward to checking this place out soon.

    Taxes came in...My newest purchase

    I got my taxes back so, of course, I went to the LGS and this is what I came home with. Link Removed .45 cal, 7+1, only 1 magazine though. The grips are also a little fatter than I'm used to, but I love it. Gonna go out in my back yard and burn up a couple hundred rounds today.

    Florida Strawberry Festival

    I just got a flyer for the Florida Strawberry Festival and right in the middle it says in bold lettering " No illegal drugs or firearms". Darn it! I wanted to bring my illegal firearms. I guess now I can only bring my legal ones.

    Home Defense shotgun round suggestions?

    One of the guns in my arsenal is a Mossberg 12 ga. I currently have a variety of shell types for it, from slugs to turkey loads to OO buckshot. Any suggestions from the group on what is the best for home defense. I live in a semi-rural area and the nearest neighbor is about 100 feet away from...
