Hunter may use Bruen to beat gun rap. https://www.aol.com/news/us-supreme-court-ruling-may-100220300.html Seems his lawyers are going to use the Bruen decision so Hunter Biden probably won't face prosecution for his possession of a firearm while using drugs or in possession of drugs. Makes me...

Bloomberg was here in AZ stumping for Mark Kelly and his run for the oval office. Shortly after leaving the democrats post an extremely nasty gun control bill. The video pretty much has the details. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bp-742Fge7M Paul B.

It seems to me that the word "weapon" is used somewhat indiscriminately on the various message boards. :( I'm not all that sure we should be using that terminology when referring to our sporting firearms. As I see it, a weapon is a device, be it gun, knife, baseball bat, whatever used either in...

Wouldn't it be great? About as likely as pushing gas prices down by using our muscles (walking more?) Think About This One!!! A Car Company can move it's factories to Mexico and claim it's a free market. A Toy Company can out source to a Chinese subcontractor and...

This probably should be in Political, but does this scenario anger anyone but me? Paul B. New York Times September 8, 2005 http://www.nytimes.com/2005/09/08/national/nationalspecial/08cnd-storm.html?hp&ex=1126238400&en=efe0a58b7fc8e12c&ei=5094&partner=homepage New Orleans Begins Confiscating...

I'm looking to load some 7.62x39 with sabots and a 22 caliber bullet. has anyone gtried this or have any ideas? The rifle has a .308" bore. Paul B.

Does anyone have the address and phone number of the place that repairs origing (American made) Weaver scopes? TIA. Paul B.

Has anyone had problems with this powder by Winchester? I loaded some .300 Win. Mag. ammo last year in July with temps running in the 100 to 110 degree range. Loads were safe. When I retested them in September at 82 degrees, they gave signs of very high pressure, stiff bolt lift, shiny ejector...

While at my local gunshop yesterday, I was talking to one of the few knowledgeable clerks there, and he said that Winchester triggers are no longer adjustable. Has anyone heard anything about this? He said that this has been so since about 1980 something, but the last two Mod. 70's I bought had...

How many here shoot .35 caliber rifle cartridges other than the .35 Remington. The Remington round is popular, while the .358 Winchester is for all practical purposes, dead in the water, and the .35 Whelan is slowly going down for the third time. What the status of the .358 Norma mag. is, I...

Let me see. Lon Horiachi (sp) was absolved of any wrongdoing for shooting Vickie Weaver. He was "Just doing his job." Ok. How many Germans were "Just doing their job" and were executed for it after WW-2? The government "Did no wrong at Waco." Uh huh! If the American people believe all this...

I recently picked up a Mauser 98 (1912-61) that had been converted for Chile to 7.62 Nato. It has a two groove barrel with weird rifling. If you look at it head on, one side looks like conventional rifling, but the other side fades into the bore. Looks like an isocolese (sp) triangle. Slugging...

Randy. You and I have discussed methods for heat treating bullets before. You said that you sized bullets after the quench. Now what I have read on the subject, that is supposed to be a no-no. My question is this. Do you wait until the bullet has hardened several days later? Or do you do it...

Usually, I have no problem making a rifle shoot decent groups. However, I have a Winchester Model 70 Featherweight in 7x57 Mauser that absolutely refuses to shoot less than 6 in groups on the average. I have shimmed the action, (poor mans free float, this has worked numerous time as a test to...

Went to the range yesterday. Rangemaster warned me of invasion of rattlesnakes and Gila Monsters. Saw no snakes. One Gila Monster. He was sleeping in the shade of one of the benchs. he'd wake up, move to the other end of the line of benches, sack out for a while there, and then move back...

George. I hear that after sometime in November, all firearms brought in for repair must be subject to a background check. Not the guns, the owners. Is this true? Paul B.

Went to the range day before yesterday to chrongraph some loads. The 06 gave 2770 fps with a 180 gr. bullet. Powder unknown. Got 9 pounds of the stuff for free. It was though to be H-4831. Figured I'd be safe and used IMR-4831 data, as it is faster burning. Hit what appears to be max...
