    Alaska's State Gun

    Utah wants to make the M-1911 as its state gun. Now a law is introduced in Alaska to make the pre '64 Model 70 Winchester in 30-06 as its state gun. Excellent choice in my opinion. With 22 years living and hunting in Alaska I think its a good choice. I'd like to see Wyoming pick the Model 70...

    Kids at Gun Shows.

    I just spent the day running the door of our club's local gun show. Taking money, checking and putting tie raps on guns. I've never noticed before (because I didn't pay attention) how many people bring their young kids with them to gun shows. I was impress, I don't recall ever seeing that...

    Surplus Rifle Sight Tips

    Over time there have been several post about surplus rifles shooting high. Many were used with the bayonet attached and sights adjusted accordingly so I thought I would provide tips for correcting this problem. In the Spring 2011 Issue of the Grand Collectors Assn Journal there is an article...

    New Ideal for a Match

    I just came back from warming up my tractor for some mail box harvesting. About a foot of fresh snow, "0" degrees and 15 MPH Wind. Got me thinking of Stalingrad or the Winter War. There are lots of Mosins and Mauser's out there, I'm thinking on putting on a match with conditions like today...

    Wyoming- It's getting closer

    Wyoming State House moves Constitutional Carry closer to final passage 48 to 8 (that't the No Permit Required for CCW). That vote was the first reading, the 48-8 vote moves it to a second and final reading. After that vote, it passes the house. The senate already passed it. I'm sure our...

    The Truth about CMP Garands

    What is a GOOD GARAND???, how can you tell??? To determine the quality (we are talking function, not looks) we want a rifle that functions. Meaning you can load the clips into the rifle, and it will keep firing, and the action will keep functioning as long as you feed it ammo and do the proper...

    A little story on 1911a1s

    The 1911/1911a1, more so then any USGI gun I know of is made so as the parts are completely interchangeable. What you can do is compare the slide (make) to the serial number of the frame to see if they match as different companies were assigned different serial numbers. Here is the problem...

    OK I've seen it all now

    A HR 218 Badge (LEOSA). I thought you just needed your retired ID Card ( I do have a Retired Badge that came with my ID card when I retired). But NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, a HR 218 badge is now available. I'm afraid if I got ask for an ID and presented this badge, I'd probably wished I filed...

    How can you have a loaded 1911a1??

    Didn't want to step on one of the topics below, but how can one call a loaded 1911 "STYLE" pistol a 1911a1. A 1911a1 isn't loaded, its basic. (As seen in the picture below). I have a Series 70 Gold Cup, I don't even consider it a 1911, its not, it's a Gold Cup. A 1911a1 is just that, a...

    Beretta M9 or 92 ?????????

    They say there is no dumb question.........this is probably the exception. I never fired the Beretta, When the Army (in my case the National Guard) came up with the Beretta I was in a position where I could keep my 1911a1 and no one would dare questioned me. (I was old school and resented the...

    Concealed is Concealed

    I guess I'm doing something right. For Christmas my step-daughter's boy friend got her a little Ruger LCP for Christmas. She brought it out so I could get her started shooting it. After a while, I mentioned she should get a CT Laser sight to help her with her dry firing. To demonstrate I...

    Reciprocity - There is hope

    If we do our job. Sen Thume (SD) & others attempted to get an amendment in the 2009 Defense Authorization Bill that would allow for reciprocity for CC permitees to carry in any state that allows CC permits. The vote was 58-39 or two votes short of the 60 needed to allow the amendment to come...
