    so what's not to like about a pump rifle?

    Just curious. Many think the pump shotgun is the cat's a$$ but when suggesting a pump rifle = eeewww! What's up with that? I think maybe mostly is that not many have even shot one. I know I'm that way with a lever as I've shot a .30-30 once - just didn't care for it, but many do. A pump's...

    problem sizing .270 Win brass

    Well, sizing it goes OK enough, but some don't chamber nearly as easily as most others. Feels almost like I've the bullet seated out a tad too far & am hard engarving into the rifling. Problem is - I haven't seated the bullets yet. All brass is w/in +/-.002" OAL (at 2.535"), primers all...

    Australian firearms destruction pictures?

    Had a request from a bud about Austrailian firearms destruction pictures - you know, those ones we've all seen on the NRA-sponsored Saturday AM pieces. Anybody got a lead towards something on the 'net? I've already tried several searches through google's pix search - nada I could use ...

    States' forum?

    I really don't see how anything extra-TFL could be much better than what we've aready got, but how could we better tie into our various states' issues & make a bigger impact at that & national level by incorporating all the energy here? We've a huge amount of great ideas & comitment .... it's...

    maybe just a quick barb .... are we as effective as we could be?

    We've an incredible network of political activist types within the TFL ranks. Are we connected within our states to make the best of our efforts, or are we all sorta floundering around making what hay we might & with just our own efforts? Maybe unite a tad within state boundaries & use that...

    is your western big game area still there? - forest fires

    Colorado currently has nine forest fires. The Hayman fire (SW of Denver) & has "eaten" 87,000+ acres (136 square miles!) & is only 5% contained. (largest CO fire previously was 17K acres ... ) Our fave elk area (eastside Flattops Wilderness in the White River Nat'l Forest) is threatened by...

    1911-style grip "safety" - why, oh why!?

    Recent "newby/I need a 9mm" thread brings this up again. Why does the 1911-style still have that antiquated grip "safety"-thing? Yeah, yeah, I know "in case you fall off yer horse"-thing. But other than that ....? In all seriousness, what could be more functional/elegant, than the BHP-style...

    .45 ACP headspaces off of brass face, so ... (wildcat question)

    .... how is it the .460 Roland cartridge (~.1" longer) can effectively shoot the .45 ACP interchangably - in the same barrel? I've also heard that the .45 ACP-class "headspaces" off of the extractor ... Which is it? No matter either way, I'm just curious as I've heard both "reasonings."

    a way to get "news" reporters on our side?

    From a CO SAS e-mail .... I've mention too many times to count that we should attempt to cultivate the newsie-folk to at the least understand our way of thinking - take 'em shooting, & if nothing else, buy 'em lunch & discuss the issues at a very personal level & (if nothing else - cheap...

    (CO) court goes off the deep end? (re open carry in Denver)

    Regardless of my own take on Stanley's (uhm) motives (&/or) reasonings, appears that at least one CO judge has gone over the top (again). I'll wait 'n see (again) as to what antics are provided by each side. From a ColoradoRKBA e-mail: "Denver County Court Judge Patterson is right out of...

    interesting - I "fight" more with our own "pro-freedom"-folk than w/antis

    I've been involved with the political apparatus/process for the last 3 years or so – did get quite a bit serious then – dabbled only beforehand. My most vociferous debates have been with those on "our side," attempting them to regain the reasoning behind the Bill of Rights & that of free will...

    (CO) EMERGENCY ALERT - revived CCW bill

    Still trying to make full sense of this (other than the political coverage/manuverings). Apparently, HB1410 has been tacked onto SB229 .... nasty backroom dealings on this one, folks. I strongly urge y'all (CO folk) to get on the horn & CALL the below Senators. KILL THIS BILL! From RMGO...
