When buying a used military rifle such as a Mosin Nagant from one of your major retailers, could you assume it to be better quality than what you buy at the gun show? Are these rifles inspected to some degree before they are sold at the retailers? I know a bore inspection would be essential, but these ones seem in tip top shape. Or could they possibly sell complete junk and your failure of proper inspection could lead to a bad purchase? No mom and pop shop, Gander Mountain, Cabelas, etc.

I’m leaving for Iraq in a few months and I want to get my mom a gun for home protection while i’m gone. My mom is about 5’4 and not exactly very strong so she can’t really handle something like a Desert Eagle but is there something that’s reasonably easy to handle yet lightweight that I can look up for her? Thanks

I realize I asked this in the military section, but I assumed that the people in this section may have more experience with firearms than anybody answering in the other categories..

I heard that they have a list of approved guns for people who want to do this. Well I want to bring a S&W 1911 instead of using their 9mm beretta. I’m pretty sure they’ll let me considering they used to use Colt 1911s not too long ago.

Well the 1911 shoots 45ACP rounds, and I’m pretty sure the military doesn’t have any weapons that shoot this, so how are they going to supply me with ammo? Do I have to call my mom and tell her to go out and buy 8 cases of 45ACP rounds and send them to Iraq?

today at my step-dads funeral. When they fired their shots, I saw them empty their guns and shells came out but then it looked like they shot so closely to us that they could’ve shot us.
No, I didn’t know Jerry D., I am going to call my Mom right now. Thank you.

Hi YA!

I just got back from my summer camp, and I took a liking to riflery. With the .22 cals there (They are really crappy, Anshutz rifles), I was shooting 90′s and 91′s on 50 ft competition targets, but I was shooting them at 75ft. (25m).

For someone that has never shot before, the people there (all ex military) thought I was a great shot. I even made the team and shot with kids 3 years older than me. (And yes I shot freehand, bipods are for wimps). I made it from Pro Marksman to Expert (and almost Dist. Expert) in 1 month.

So… One of the instructors emailed my parents and suggested I get an air rifle to train with so I can get better. My dad is cool with the idea, and my mom thinks its a good idea to have a unique sport for college, but 1 set of my grandparents are NRA haters and are really opposed to the idea, and the other set is also opposed because of the idiotic stuff my uncle did with his BB gun as a kid.

I’m just wondering how I should convince my parents. They know that I am very mature and would exercise extreme caution, and only shoot it when they are around, but it is still not enough.

Anybody know any other ways to convince them? I have already offered to buy it and the ammo with my own money. Ohh and this is an air rifle (supped up BB gun, not a real rifle).

P.S: I’m 13

Thanks!

My younger brother is 16 and has always been fascinated with everything military. especially planes. he watches the military channel all the time, and makes ghille suits in our backyard, and likes to learn about guns and crap like that. he’s a really brave, tough kid who can endure almost anything. i’m afraid he might join after he graduates high school. i have asked him but he just shrugs. and my dad and mom won’t talk to him about it. how can i tell if he’s really interested? it upsets me.

My fiance is 21 and has his Bachelor’s degree in Political Science with a minor in Economics. He isn’t sure what he wants to do for a career but is drawn to the Army’s commissioned officer program. His mom is concerned that the Army is too dangerous to go into, but he enjoys camping, rock climbing, and firearms training and thinks he’ll get to do this most in the Army. He is interested in military intelligence, but dreams of being a professional rock climber. Any suggestions from those who have insight on multiple branches of the US military?

My mom wants to get my dad an AR-15 for christmas but we cant because
1. It costs 1300 dollars
2. The name check thing might take to long.

But i was wondering how long the name check is for an assault rifle, is it any different than any other gun?
