    I just paid too damn much for a gun.

    But...being in California where an FFL from another state cannot sell to another FFL in California unless the gun is on the "approved" list (which it isn't) and the fact that I made up my mind that I wouldn't buy it if the trigger wasn't good and it turned out....SUPER...on a snap cap and that...

    NO Rugers approved for sale in California?

    I'm looking at the DOJ "approved" list from the DOJ website. http://justice.doj.ca.gov/safeguns/safeguns.asp They have a pulldown menu of the guns approved and the menu has NO Rugers listed. Is this real or just normal mismanagement of a government boondoggle? :confused:

    BRAVO! For Barrett!

    In their American Rifleman ad this month, they are carrying the message that due to California's banning of the .50 BMG for citizens, Barrett will no longer sell to or SERVICE guns from any.......GOVERNMENT AGENCY.... in California. I wish they made a lot of other stuff so I could buy it to say...

    How to lose interest in guns.

    Give your daughter a nice gun. In fact, have TWO 20 ga. 870's and make one REALLY nice one from the best parts of the two. Then go see that she (after previously reminiscing about how she remembers making it so neat) has let her hubby use it and put it away all bloody and now it's pitted and...

    Who has their Browning Hi-Power mag safety disconnected?

    I had a trigger job done and told em to take out the mag safety. Yesterday I put it back in. The pull before break is much harder, but the actual break after takeup is just as good. WITHOUT the mag safety, it is much faster to shoot multiple targets. Seems to even lighten the pull a bit. But...

    Why do shotgun blasts have two syllables?

    I notice that from a distance, shotguns often make a different sound from rifles or pistols. A "Ta-pop" or "ka-wap" whereas the rifles and pistol shots from a distance are a uniform single pop or blast. Anyone know why? :confused:

    Short stocked shotguns..where'd they go?

    I just noticed. I haven't seen any short stocked shotguns lately. Did a law get passed? Are they still legal? Like the old "Snake Charmer" or a Topper with the stock cut down. :confused:

    If you have never seen it, be sure to tape "My Name is Nobody" on Turner Classic Movies (TCM) tonight. This rarely plays and my old copy is about worn out from needin a "fix" every few months. Think it came out in 74 or so. Terence Hill and Henry Fonda ......spoofing...... spaghetti westerns...

    S&W 66 bolt engagement

    My 66 is a .....bit..... sloppy in battery. Wondering..... seems like the bolt engagement in the cylinder cut is not real deep. Could the depth of the engagement have any effect on lockup in battery? IF.. I stoned the TOP ONLY of the part of the bolt that is INSIDE the frame (NOT the top of...

    Anyone remember Philip Marlowe on TV

    He had a 1959 Ford Galaxy (so did I) ....but....HIS had a gun compartment in the dash. He would push a button and it would slide out and down. In it were a 6 inch M10 (for shootin bad guys on the horizon) And a 2 incher (also think it was a M10......fer close work) He never CARRIED a gun as...

    Would someone like to MAKE a gun for me?

    Probably have to be adept with CAD/CAM machines and have FFL. I would like to have a "trapdoor" .38 spl. octagon barrel, external hammer, full stocked, single shot, dueling type pistol with nice sights. I would like to finish the stock myself. I think that would be one "bidgin" neat gun. Or...

    Are ..22's generally LESS accurate since the .22 WMR was introduced?

    Just hit me the other day. ALL my really superbly accurate .22's predate the WMR. I ....used to have.... a Ruger Single Six that would group less than half inch at 25 yards. My K22 (vintage 1960) is a hot setup also. I just wondered if the mfrs are boring ALL .22 barrels to handle the mag...

    Since I'm sick and tired of 9mm vs. 45 mumbo jumbo

    And WHICH 1911 is best, I would like to see some objective tests run on REVOLVERS vs. autos for accuracy, power, and general user-friendliness. I am REALLY REALLY thinkin hard of dumping my 1911 Series 70 Colt Gold Cup and getting a M25 S&W. I bet the recoil would be less and the accuracy as...
