I was helping my uncle clean out a closet yesterday and we came across a small box filled with .22lr ammo.
It's been there a long time.
$ .84 cents from an E.J Korvettes store that he worked part time at in the early 70's.
I get asked a lot of questions about thermal optic recommendations, so I thought I would do a short tutorial about what you get for your dollar with the three current scopes I have at the moment.
My current Primary scope is an Nvision Halo X50 and my backup scope is an AGM Rattler TS25-384...
I'm on call this weekend, the weather sucks and my thermion XG50 is at pulsar getting a checkup, so yesterday I decided to dive right into seeing if I could remove the barrel extension, so I can rebarrel my rifle with a lightweight CF barrel.
After removing the .243 barrel with the extension, I...
I wanted to start out 2022 better than 2021.
After a lengthy search, I found a safe queen Rem 7400 .243 semi auto to add to the stable.
I didn't want to build a neutered AR10 chambered in 243, so this was the next best SAFE act legal semi auto choice for me.
I picked it up this afternoon...
Just got my Impulse fluted barrel back, duracoated it with three coats of matte black and two coats of matte clear.
It weighs 11 pounds topped with the Thermion XP38 and a loaded five round steel AI magazine, the way I carry it in the field.
Bipod is on just for pics.
It's still a little barrel...
I want to have my savage impulse barrel spiral fluted.
The smith in Texas that I usually use is real busy.
Does anyone have a smith they can recommend around the tri state area ?
Thanks,

I'm looking for a mid sized wheel gun for those days that I'm not going to carry around my large framed 444UL's.
I have a mdl 37 snubby, but want something lightweight with a longer barrel and +p rated.
I searched around and found the Taurus 856 defender ultra-lite with a 3" barrel, night sight...
Finally got my hands on the Impulse Predator in 243.
My initial impression ;
It's a nice straight pull rifle, but if your expecting Blaser like quality for less than what a Blaser barrel costs, your dreaming.
Unlike the blaser, where the bolt assy rides on two rails, the Impulse bolt rides on...
Here's some short videos and specs of my newest AGM thermal spotter that I purchased after tying their other models last year.
I was impressed with the 160 and 384 unit's so much, that when I found out they were going to have a 2021 model with better specs, I pre ordered one.
For less than...
I have 2 lbs each of Re25 and Bullseye powder on hand, but just opened my last pound of 4198.
I'd like to trade pound for pound.
I'm located in southern NY(Rockland cty), but travel frequently up to the Oneonta area.
FTF only, no shipping, not for sale and I only need any manufacturer of 4198...
Since Heir Cuomo is so concerned about his serfs being a threat to all of the Criminals that can't afford bail and he let out of prison, are there any new SAFE act restrictions coming down the pike in 2021 ?
I just finished building a blaser R8 rifle chambered in 300 WSM.
While I've built short magnum chambered rifles for friends, I just never had the urge to build one for myself.
For this build, I wanted to use a caliber I've never used before and I found a real good deal on the WSM barrel, so WSM...
Got a New compliant 308 rifle with this stock, didn't like the feel of the grip, so I bought the gen III thordsen with 308 spacer to fit my big mitts.
This is just going to collect covid dust, so it must go.
Never seen use. Doesn't come with the End plate adapter, but has the bolt, kept in place...
I just did a lot of work on my 22/45 and am fully prepared to use it for steel challenge this year, except that I'd like to test it with coated bullets as a comparison to bare lead.
I would like to know if anyone's has had any issues using the CCI Clean Red/Green HV Ammo in their rim fire...

Since there's a lot of interest in PRS style comps, but new shooters can get a bit overwhelmed at their first match without a mentor or friend to show them the ropes, I inquired about running an intro to PRS style comps with the general at sheepdog warrior range.
Of course they said no problem...
So I had this idea in my head to build a 30-06 remage rifle for a backup PRS rifle this year, with the receiver from my first left hand Rem 700 rifle I bought back in the mid 80's.
I bought a long action Magpul Hunter stock with bottom metal (I'm going to convert to LH), AICS 10 rd mags, 20 moa...

I'm looking for an SCR lower.
I found them Online for around $500, but would rather give my money to a local NY firearms enthusiast or business first, before buying out of state.
Thanks,

I sold the 8" 500 and now I'm looking for a 4" version.
None of the shops in my area have a 4" version for me to buy and I'd like to give my money to support a NY gun shop, so I'm asking here if anyone knows of a shop in NY that has a used 4" S&W 500 for sale ?
Thanks,
SJC

Hello All,
Looking to trade my 8" S&W 500 for a shorter barreled version.
Mine has only fired 350 grain Hornady factory loads and not a lot of them.
I changed the front sight to a gold bead and it'll also come with a used but good leather holster.
I have the Factory front sight, box and...
Hello All,
I had high hopes of getting used to a Semi Auto to shoot steel plate matches, but I'm a wheel gunner at heart, so I'm selling my cajunized CZ P09 and everything to compete in steel challenge or other pistol games.
Has an 8lb DA pull and a 3lb SA pull.
I sent the barrel to a smith who...
Anyone heard anything on these Kel-Tecs ?
If available and work's, I think it would be a great rifle to shoot in steel challenge and for predators too.

I have a friend who needs a Lawyer for a firearm related incident.
He's a first responder that was denied medical treatment.
He was on his way to work and was carrying his sidearm, when he needed medical services.
He contacted the NRA, but the NRA has lawyers in Manhattan and they said they'll...
I gave my lever 45-70 to a friend and now I'm looking for a bigger left hand big bore rifle to fill the gap and accompany my 500 S&W revolver hunting.
I have a preference for a 458 win mag.
I've been visiting gun shops in my area and no big bores, especially left handed big bores are to be...

Hello,
I have a lot of brass that's doing nothing but collecting dust.
Since I've been shooting a lot more 9mm lately, I figured I trade some of the brass I've accumulated over the years for brass I'm actually going to use.
600+ ct of Nickel 357 mag
1,000 + 45Acp Nickel + Brass
1,000 + 38 spcl...
Just left the ship as the waves were breaking the bow, looked over the rail and found the nygunforums life boat in the water close by. Now Hopefully we can get back to the business of reminding King Cuomo We're over here now and aren't going away ! !
