      Biden Closes Gun Show Loophole.

      <humor> Look on the bright side. Have you ever said or heard someone else say "I wish I had never sold that gun"? Now we have an even better reason to keep them! </humor>

      AR Lower?

      Yes. If we have good weather on Friday, I will likely have my AR22 at the 100yd line @ Bridgeview.

      AR Lower?

      Yes, I am using the 21" match barrel. If by "sub MOA", you mean less than an inch at 100 yards, then you might be a little disappointed. I'm not sure why Borebuddy went with the 1-12″ twist rate but it is a bit fast for my normally very accurate 22lr match ammo. As mentioned earlier, I'm...

      AR Lower?

      I see you mention using this build in competitions. I have a Borebuddy build to practice for high power competitions. While it is reliable, it is not as accurate as my Ruger 10/22 with a target barrel & Volquartsen hammer. FYI, my Borebuddy barrel likes the heavier 22 ammo. I'm getting the...

      Want to get better at long range shooting

      I'm biased but would recommend service rifle competitions. There is a monthly match at the sheriff's range behind Cabelas in Gonzales. Those matches are 200 yards for service rifle and 300 yards for f-class. Service rifle shooters are a friendly group and are always willing to help a new...

      You guys ever get together

      There was also a group of us that would meet for build parties. We called ourselves the SLAKERs (South Louisiana AK ERectors). Once again, I've lost touch with all those members.

      You guys ever get together

      Back in the early days of BayouShooter (circa 2008), we would meet at Sherborne WMA for some shooting & camaraderie. Some of the Baton Rouge crowd would also meetup for lunch but I've lost touch with everyone. There was also a riff between the original owner of BS and some members. All I...

      S&W model 36

      For S&W collectors, they value things such as: pinned barrel, recessed cylinder, minimal scratches, original grips, original box, original papers. Collectors also seem to like the earlier versions of a model so a "no dash" might be valued higher than a "-4". For someone looking to carry &...

      38 snub ammo

      Here is my carry ammo for my pocket 38 revolvers. "best" is subjective but I avoid the +p ammo for the small 5 shot revolvers.

      CHP vs. Veteran CC question

      https://legis.la.gov/legis/ViewDocument.aspx?d=1290223 Back in August 2022, the linked bill signed by Gov. Edwards went into effect. The bill credentials honorably discharged veterans and active duty military to carry a concealed weapon without the need to obtain a permit from the LA State...

      Shot Show 2024: Anything interesting?

      I am curious about the trend of companies jumping into the lever gun market. It looks like S&W, Stag, and Aero Precision are releasing lever rifles in 2024. Perhaps this is a hedge against another AWB or similar?

      Shot Show 2024: Anything interesting?

      Anyone seeing anything interesting in the Shot Show 2024 videos or posts? I watch the Backfire & TFBTV channels on YouTube but haven't seen anything that makes me want to spend money. The S&W lever rifle looks cool but not for $2k.
