Pump action AR15 and straight-pull Manlichers gave me an idea...for those places which ban semi-autos (defined as reload without manual assistance), have a gas or recoil operated gun which would open the bolt and eject....and lock the bolt back after every shot (similar to PTRD anti-tank rifle)...

Yesterday, a friend stopped by to review a Russian translation of an American math textbook which wrote. After we got done with proofreading, I noticed an interesting aspect of the Introduction in that book. It read Next time anyone wants to rant about the academia being against us, consider...

From naziwrestlinghackersforjesus I won't bother communicating with that crowd but I thought their parody was more concrete than the original :)

What does that design do better than the Browning tilting barrel?

I might be getting a revolver which looks like someone used it for a hoe. The internals are smooth nd the gun is accurate but bluing is mostly gone, and grips are raggedy. I have not decided if I would restore it yet. It might be a nice gun for winning bets ("I bet your UberHandCannon can't...

A friend is researching for a new varminting rifle in 22-250 or .243 (open to suggestions, 6.5 Swede is an option). He's not on line, so I check for him. Curious if anyone makes variable twist barrels (similar to older Carcanos, 20mm Swiss rifles)...

While in Minnesota, I visited my favorite gun store and what did I find...6.5mm Carcano ammo on 5-round stipper clips (?), looking new and shiny. Headstamps said "50" and "*", I think. Laquer-sealed. They had just under a hundred rounds (also had a 6.5 carbine minus its bayonet). Any idea as to...

I've been trying to find a paddle holster for a 4" SW10 and have had no luck so far. Any suggestions? Please post exact URL as I can't find it at the recommended site.

Where in America was carry of firearms (open or concealed) regulated in 1902? 1919? 1934? I am trying to find out if a person living in NYC, or San Francisco or Smalltown, Iowa could carry legally back then.

The first time I fired a 12ga pump shotgun with buckshot, I got hurt. The gun, a Mossberg 590A1, flipped up on recoil and bruised my cheek, in addition to hurting my shoulder. I made up my mind to avoid 12ga pumps, since even this large and heavy one kicked so viciously. Years later, I had a...

Where could one buy a brace to connect a Tac-star 3-shot extension to the 870 barrel? For now, the extension cants down, away from the barrel and looks weird.

A little pedantic but should be useful for on-line discussions. Suggestions welcome.

This image, tacked up at runt's workplace, provided the inspiration. I think the cartoon is a bit more effective...maybe fine-tuning of the captions would help.

I am considering sending couple of older Glocks in for updating parts. What sort of turnaround can I expect?

Old poster played off an anti soundbyte. I didn't like the typography much, so I tried to re-make it. Caption has evolved a bit. Comments and suggestions are welcome: I am not sure if this image would supercede the old one, run concurrently with it or require further editing. (The file is...

I decided to update this image for two reasons. For one, the term vermin brings up connotations of the "final solution". I hope that goblin would better evoke an actively menacing creature. The other part of the update would require re-taking the image (Marko, want to star in it?) to remove the...

Seems that the first round or two always slip right out of the magazine if it is inserted all the way into a magazine pouch. Has anyone figured out a solution that would keep the mag from dislodging the top cartridge?

Finally, with much help from my friends, my site has been updated. I've tried to make the intro a little more subtle for the benefit of the newbies and fencesitters. Because of the volume of the new material, I can't even hope to get it all right at once. 1.Some images present on the old site...

Older image : I don't care for the graphic and the lack of readability. OTOH, it did and does express my sentiments clearly. A re-make ended up veering off the original topic, let's see if it is any good. Target audience would be gun owners who view ATF as a reasonable institution, also people...

Old version Larger Main reason for the re-make: wire didn't look right, the whole layout was pretty sparse. Early 1980s Colt wasn't quite right for the late 1930s-early 1940s reference. I hope that the colors would carry the message even without a triangle.
