Connecticut Preparedness 

Any thoughts on the Ruger 1911 Carry? I love my Sig 1911 and Ive always wanted a Colt, which are the other 1911 carry's im looking at.

I owned a Para S16-40 Limited. NOT the Todd Jarrett Edition. I loved how it felt...when it shot. I had a lot of FTF's and sent it back to Para. They replaced the extractor and polished the feed ramp. I still had FTF's and ended up trading it in. I guess 1911's should really only be in .45. I tried a...

The bike tries to turn over, that's what the clicking noise is. This was happening acouple of weeks ago and then it finally started. The exhaust popped real loud but, I'm pretty sure that was the unused fuel in the engine from when I was twisting the throttle when I was trying to start it. I think m...

So I finally picked up my first AK variant. I decided to grab a Polish Beryl imported by IO. With all the different variants, are there somethings I should be looking for when wanting to change out the furniture. I definitely want to change out the stock and possibly the handrail. Do all aftermarket...

So I was prepping one of my motorcycles for whenever this Spring time decides to comes around. I had my battery charged and even checked the voltage (good to go at 13.5). As soon as I connect the battery to the bike it drops down to right around 8. Is the battery bad or something else draining the b...

Thanks for the info. guys. I have a ton of hobbies (some expensive as crap) basketball, baseball, football, coaching, motorcycles, guns, bowling, most importantly family and so on. My most recent hobby I was trying to get into was airbrushing. I ended up buying everything I needed and so far only wo...

How many rounds per year would you say, you would have to shoot to justify reloading? I want to start reloading because I know it's cheaper but it seems so expensive to get started. How long would it take to make your money back from the initial investment? I don't shoot as much as I want to but, it...

Can I get everyone's opinion on AK manufacturer's? Im looking to get one to add to my collection and have been trying to do research and have found mixed reviews on all manufacturers in every forum I've seen. Im currently eyeing what I thought was an Arsenal but it's actually a Polish Beryl imported...

Not looking to make a profit. I just like shooting and collecting. Right now im looking at an AK (Arsenal) in 5.56/.223. The price is $1099 and I know Arsenal is/has discontinued their 5.56 versions of their AK. If I do plan on buying it, Im only worried about parts and even getting mags. My only re...

How do you guys determine a "Good/Fair" price for a firearm? New or used. I know there is a blue book of gun values you can buy to find out. I tend to buy all my guns new and I usually look at the manufacturer website for an MSRP and then I search prices online and in the local shops. For ...

It's only a Sig P226. Nothing crazy like a full auto or anything with "evil features"

So I was going through all my paperwork for all the guns that I have.......what should I do, if anything, if I legally bought a gun in another state but don't have any paperwork other than a faded sales receipt? I cant find the transfer of ownership or whatever its called. All the sales receipt show...

So he got a new gun from Cabelas and a $500 gift certificate? I think I wanna go to Cabelas and trick them into selling me something Im not supposed to have.

Anyone have one or owned one? This one is on my list for my collection but, I have seen so many bad reviews of the mags jamming and parts coming loose. More bad reviews then good ones. Its one of those guns that's on my list "just to have" but, I cant truly justify buying it if it'll barel...

Ive done google searches for comparisons of these 2 rifles and found a lot of mixed reviews. Theyre both about the same price. These are the 2 rifles im leaning towards. This will be my 3rd bolt action I have owned, I previously owned a Remington 770 (sold it, thought it was crap) and now only have ...
