I live in WV and own a AR-15 Bushmaster, Tactical .12 ga Mossburg & other weapons. How do I sell them legally? I have a military spinal cord injury and can no longer enjoy shooting sports and hunting. Most are long guns, but I also have a Colt 1991-A1 .45 semi. and a Rossi S & W J frame Stainless Steel .38. All are like new condition and well cared for. Do I need to have a dealer sell them and give up a commission?
I am an Air Force ROTC cadet/ college student and I am interested in learning how to shoot… the right way. I’m very familiar with firearms as I have grown up doing lots of hunting but I have never received any formal instruction or lessons.
I have an old Colt AR-15 at my disposal I want to know the best ways to learn about it, train with it, and learn the proper range procedures in hopes I can use it to practice qualifying with it as if it were an M-4. As I am in the Air Force, people know tons about air power but not really anything about marksmanship.
Would it be best if I purchased Marine Corps and Army marksmanship manuals and a Colt factory manual and just try to figure it our on my own or would it be better or even ethical to hire one of the NCOs from the local Marine garrison to tutor me at the local rifle range in his free time? I know the AR-15 is the civilian precursor to the modern M-4, but how similar are they mechanically and performance-wise?
I have never received any formal marksmanship or firearms training EXCEPT for a Hunter Education course.
Today at work I over heard 3 guys talk about guns in reference to hunting and recreation shooting. We are in the military too. Well a civilian who had her young children present asked the 3 guys to talk about something else because her children were present. They all looked at her like she was crazy but they said sorry and moved their conversation further away. Why would this lady find their conversation so offensive?
By this I mean stats and information on the operation of Handguns, Rifles, and Shotguns: Military, Hunting and Citizen Owned. I already know the basics of firearms but would like to learn more about specific guns themselves. And any other books on Firearms would be greatly appreciated if listed! Thank you!
Muzzle loaders, Self reloading, Military rifles, Shotguns don’t count. I’m talking about legal hunting/shooting rifles for civilian use with store bought cartridges.
I just want your opinion not the exact 100% hands down correct answer. Keep your thumbs down to yourself its an open forum.
i just think it be cool to go hunting or target practice with one of those
k thanks guys, BTW im not using it to shoot people
Hey, i was just wondering if one would need a permit for a semi automatic "assault" rifle for hunting, or if only a clean criminal record is needed (18 years old too, of course). If you do need a permit, how much do they cost? I live in Wisconsin, and i’ve looked, but i can’t find the laws for here on the ‘net anywhere. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
can you buy any of them or use sniper rifles in australia for hunting?
I know some people will put on a synthetic stock on so they don’t scratch up there nice wood stocks while hunting. even as much as it kills me I have a synthetic stock on my Finnish upgrade Mosin Nagant because the original wood is much to bad of a condition to be usable. So I’m buying a wall hanger Mosin Nagant to switch out the stock and maybe use for parts. The people I’m talking about will get a M44 and put on a synthetic stock with a Scope mount, Bi-Pod, Laser and all the Tacti-Cool stuff. I’ve actually seen a mosin like that. The worst was when I was in a gun shop and a guy came in and said he had a old M1903 in original condition his Father left him. When me and a gun shop employee asked more about it. He said sportorized it, Synthetic Stock, Bi-pod and drilled and taped for a scope. I was biting my tongue. I was just at complete aw some one would kill such a beautiful Rifle. Not like it was a 18 year old video game nerd this guy looked in his late twenties. So, any thoughts on why are willing to take away the history of these old rifles?
A couple of friends and myself want to get our firearms license. One of my friends and I are prior military and have used firearms as part of our training. But we never thought about the civilian license until recently. Unfortunately, any information I can gather from the Internet is geared toward hunting and youth. If anyone knows a place thats offers courses and training in Minnesota (preferably Dakota County), it would be much appreciated.
Fighting boredom here.
Okay, here’s the scenario. The DOD has been reading your answers on the hunting section of YA and they were so impressed that they decided to hire you as their small arms consultant to completely redo their small arms inventory based on your recommendation.
So, what do you tell them? What rifle, handgun and calibers do they get? Don’t worry about money because Ben Bernanke said he will print whatever is needed. He’s got your back on this.
Great stuff everyone, and yes, if you think the current inventory is tops then let’s hear it.
im just curious. my friend is really into hunting and likes to talk about rifles so i figured id research some sniper rifles like they use in the marines and swat. please list as many as you can
sometimes i think people just join because its cool using the guns rather than pride for their country, lol. not saying anyone could buy them but say like a gun collector or maybe having a permit or license like how owning a handgun or shotgun is for hunting and things like that? i wouldnt even care if the assault rifle was loaded or not i would just be happy having the real thing. is it possible? thanks.
Does anyone know any good sites to post and share pictures of your hunting or sniper rifle? If you know any sites at all please list them. Also if you know any good sniper websites.
What are some military rifles old or new, any country, bolt action or semi auto that are accurate and could be used for hunting.
