question
A question is an utterance which typically functions as a request for information, which is expected to be provided in the form of an answer. Questions can thus be understood as a kind of illocutionary act in the field of pragmatics or as special kinds of propositions in frameworks of formal semantics such as alternative semantics or inquisitive semantics. Questions are often conflated with interrogatives, which are the grammatical forms typically used to achieve them. Rhetorical questions, for example, are interrogative in form but may not be considered true questions as they are not expected to be answered.
What is appropriate group to join to get involved?
Is there a Western Wash. range that has distances to say 1,400 yards?
Where is a good place to shop/buy the gun to use as a beginner?
Thank you for your help.
I’ve got a trip planned for big bear country this year. I believe I’ve settled on carrying my S&W69 44Magnum. I load my own for that gun and two of my loads I’m looking at are a Laser Cast SWC 240grain or a 240grain XTP hollow point. Both have their merits and I shoot both well out of this gun...
Long story short, we needed a new roof so I hired someone I used to work with because I knew he needed the job.
He seemed to be in a huge rush at the end and this part just looks weird to me. Is this a normal way to split the direction of the shingles at the end of a ridge?
There also appears...
Does SB 941 REQUIRE a 4473 on ALL sales ?
On another forum an Oregon member was trying to explain SB 941 and that it DOES NOT state that a 4473 needs to be done, but it does require a background check be done on all sales new or used, and the 'old gun show law' of selling used guns with a state...
I have an early Armalite AR-10B w/ the early style bolt catch. It only works reliably with the early magazines (where the follower has a plunger in the back). Unfortunately being new to Armalite, I did not know there were Gen I and Gen II magazines. I stupidly bought several of the later type...
I'm bringing a 721 270 back to life and have a question. When the rifle is cocked, returning the safety to safe is pretty stiff. I noticed that the firing pin head moves outward a tad when returned to safe. The safety is having to overcome a bit of main spring tension. Is this normal?
They all came in boxes like this and I was wondering if anyone knows if they are reloads or old production ammo? All appear to be 357 hollow points or 38 with nickle case(?). I've shot this ammo with my grandpa every time I shot his 357 and recently he gave me all the ammo and I just realized...

I have been a permanent resident for almost 10 years now and finally I am applying for US Citizenship. If you have recently received your US Citizenship, please send me a message and I need to ask you about one of the questions in the application. I do not want to make this a public forum...
Seeking a little bit more information on my RIA 45 and 9mm officer models and their extractors:
They are a series 70 I take it. Extractor was stiff to extract without pushing the claw inward to which I could then pull out. I noticed once I had removed it that it was purposely bent or “angled”...
I was digging through some bins out in the garage and came across some 20rd Hungarian AK mags.
I know that typically there is the half moon w/ face stamp or some variation of zeros and twos.
These mags, with the exception of one, only have a circle with an M stamped on the spine. Ever seen...

I have one family car that me and my wife both drive. We both are on the title and registration.
If I apply for a conceal carry permit, the details will get added to my license plate record as well since I have my name on the title. So, if my wife is driving the car and a cop pulls her over...
If purchasing a new firearm and purchasing one from an individual, can you use the same/single background check at a local FFL dealer if doing the deal at the same time?
I've been tasked with making a sub-sonic load for a rifle with a can on it. Does the can add velocity like barrel length does? My gut level instinct says no because the gasses are venting into the can. What say you all with greater experience in such matters. I plan on getting the CV Arms single...
With all the new recently passed firearms laws, is there anything new that makes it illegal to have a fore grip on an AR??
Time sensitive question and any help is appreciated.
I'm looking for the model number for an Uncle Mikes, OWB Pancake Holster what will fit a S&W M&P 2.0 in .45 or 10MM.
I have not been able to find a "fit guide" for Uncle Mikes, if you know where I find that, I'd appreciate the URL
I have both a Model #12 & #16, neither fits the M&P Gen 2...
Hello, Revolver Experts:
Can a S&W K-38 (circa. approx. 1980) handle modern +P loads?
Your attention to this matter is greatly appreciated.
Best Regards,
