    The Left and Cindy Sheehan

    JON CARROLL - Jon Carroll Friday, February 3, 2006 I do admire Cindy Sheehan. I like the way she used her moral authority to focus the attention on a single story of needless sacrifice, a single victim of the Bush administration's profligate and inept invasion of Iraq. Her standing as the...

    Montana Gold bullets

    Anyone tried them? They refer to the bullets as jacketed, but in quantity they are cheaper than West Coast Bullets' prices under the new ownership of AccuraBullet. I have been told they are "the best around". Is that just one man's opinion?

    "Building" a Garand

    Is there any cost/effort benefit to purchasing one of the CMP Garands and building it up with new stock, barrel or whatever (not familiar with semi-auto rifles or Garands)? Costs? What is best left to a gunsmith? Which to start with, maybe rack grade Danish or Greek?

    16 Ga?

    I didn't want to hijack the 20 GA thread, though I see all numbers being thrown about except 16 GA. I know it was on the wane some 30 years ago during my first period of firearms involvement, but do not know the history in between.

    Green stuff oozing out of PD 627

    Well, not quite. However, several times I have found what appears to be the bright blue of copper oxidation seeping out onto the top of the trigger in oil or Hoppe's #9 that had been in the works. Any idea what this might be? I am not aware of copper internal parts.
