I'm done with them. May they fold up and fade away. Yhis policy includes a "Safer Tomorrow"fund,which grants money to anti-gun groups Teaming up with Bloomberg to form Everytown Business Leaders for Gun Safety,and more...

There is a story in the news.This might be worth its own thread. Anti-gun activists have been buying up firearms stock to vote in shareholder meetings. Apparently a group of nuns has acquired enough Ruger to have an influence. I would not blame Ruger,all this stuff has rules...

News is in South Dakota the Ultramax Ammo plant caught fire and is a total loss. http://rapidcityjournal.com/news/local/update-evacuation-order-lifted-for-businesses-near-box-elder-ammo/article_2e40c6be-966f-5742-87de-f49d3c629046.html

Denver Redfield used to make a nice 3/4 in tube 22 scope. I have an original with no reticle. These show up on e-bay generally in the $200 to $300 range.Keep in mind its for a used .22 scope made in the 70's,approx. The objective and ocular bells are enlarged,I'd guess about 22 mm lenses.Maybe...

I found a youth sized Marlin 15 Y single shot bolt .22 at the pawn shop the other day. I'm a Grandpa kind of guy. The kids are involved in 4-H. I'd like to set it up with something resembling the classic 1907 military sling. At least a sling to learn to shoot with. No,I can't answer the obvious...

I just read an E-mail from Starline. They are producing .455 Webley brass.

I came across this testimony to what appears to be Congress by Suzanna Gratia-Hupp ,who was just having a meal ay Luby's with her parents one day in 1991. IMO,she sends a clear and powerful message that IMO,we need to be reminded of today. Its a very personal message from her. She believed in...

I'm making no comments about the merits of the case. Folks occasionally ask if its lawful or a good idea to sell handloads. According to this article,this man is in trouble for loading some of the ammo the Las Vegas murderer used .His fingerprints were on the ammo. This would be food for...

I'll put this here for max exposure. A good friend of my brother is rather dismayed. A preventable bummer. He has been doing some competitive longer range shooting. The rifle is an Accuracy International in 6.5 x 47. It has 2000 rounds through it. Up front,I'll say it seems he did something...

A young woman friend of mine(30's) lost her life to a house fire several weeks ago. It was a really unnecessary tragedy. The story is some contractors oil stained the wooden deck and did not properly contain the rags. The spontaneous combustion thing is real.She was asleep in an upstairs bedroom...

No need to rehash the handloads vs Factory loads for carry. I accept that factory loads have the advantage in court. If I were to choose BuffaloBore or Cor-Bon,etc as carry ammo,would I still have the same forensic evidence advantage in court that handloads lack? How does it work if I have my...

Life changing. That hand looks bad. IMO,its just incidental it happens to be a Glock. IMO,its not about Glocks. I don't know anything more than the post. The value is in the image.The real deal. 1) Pushing the envelope. ? 9 mm Giant Killers? 2) Wrong powder? Double charge? etc 3)Brass...

Forgive me for not posing and composing the pic. I already had this shot in my computer. This is the half bassed bubba hack job I made from an AIM receiver. I just don't care what anyone thinks .I like shooting it. The scope is a Lyman Alaskan . Post and crosshair. Its a CMP legal scope. The...

Once again,a bunch of argument and passion over NOTHING!! Why don't we argue the meaning of "IS" Back in the 1700's,a set of flintlock dueling pistols was most certainly designed for at least one of two people to get a hole blown in them. And they may have been carved,engraved,inlaid with...

This discussion could easily go wrong.Please don't be "that guy". The "wisdom" version of what to do after a self defense use of force is "Call the police and don't run" OK,good. My question does not target any race,creed,color,ethnicity,or orientation.Whatever we can imagine,can be reversed 180...

If a commercially available AR-15 lower,marked "Multi" is manufactured so the rotational travel stops for the selector are postioned to allow 180 deg of travel,is that a problem for a non FFA,legal semi-auto build? Some lowers have the selector "stop" lugs postioned for 90 deg rotation,which...

OK,the OP did say up front he was sleeping on a cot. :-) I stand by the Merino woolsox and the map and compass. The ensolite butt pad,too.This pic taken just under 9000 ft in the Flattops Wilderness.We backpacked in.Camp was on dry ground when we went to bed.That fell overnight.Lots of...

Maybe so,Hawg. But this was the second rifle I built,maybe 35 years ago. + or -I used Bairds book,and a set of Cherry Corners blueprints taken off Mariano Medina's rifle. Hat tip to the late Ron K,who had something to do with Cherry Corners. Then hat tip to The Flintlocker,Ken K,who mentored my...

Back when I was into BP and Muzzle loaders,I worked in the R+D dept for an outfit that made hand held shower heads and oral irrigators. So,the Hawken Water Flosser was inevitable. The handle portion of a shower was sawed off.A long piece(barrel plus ) length of brass tubing was epoxied into...

I read a long and adamant thread on this topic from 2014. Very knowledgeable people,including several moderators,advised it may be a bad idea in a post-SD shooting courtroom to have aftermarket trigger parts. I'm paying attention. I have some 1911's.One is an old Randall Raider Commander style...
