    7.62 x 39 vs. 7.82 x 51 (.308)

    Perhaps I'm just dense but I don't why anyone would want the 7.62 x 39 instead of the .308 EXCEPT that they want an AK.:rolleyes: When you are talking 0.2 of a mm in bullet diameter less but you also give up 12 mm of case length for powder, it doesn't make sense to me. Now, if is because "I...

    Any ideas for a parts source

    I have a T/C Classic .22 in need of a new extractor. I have tried T/C (now S & W). They say they don't have the part but I should send it in to their gunsmiths to be checked. I don't want to do this as I've been told S & W will say it isn't repairable and offer me an alternative gun (one of...

    Why do politicians think they are above the law?

    This relates to guns! When the Missouri CCW law was passed and signed into law, it contained (and still does) a provision that information related to CCW holders is NOT public record and is NOT to be shared with agencies outside the state of Missouri. The MO Highway Patrol has admitted that...

    I worked for 10 years in Missouri state government. The last 5 I worked with many state senators and representatives reviewing, writing, and editing legislation. There was one long term Senator who had a favorite and very truthful expression: "There are two things you just can't legislate...
