    Remington 742 Opinions Please

    My local dealer has a very nice Remington model 742 rifle in .308 on his rack. It's clean and comes with a Weaver Challenger (?) 4X scope with a superb view. I have been looking for a .308 and am wondering if this would be a good acquisition. Does anyone have any comments on this rifle. Is...

    First MA for a Child

    I am curious what people think would be the "best" first Martial Art for a child. Assume for a moment that there are qualified instructors in all common styles who can work with children. What do you think would be the best introduction? My first MA was Judo (in college), then some Karate...

    New Mexico Gun Laws - Help!

    I am hoping that some TFL members in New Mexico can help me and a family friend. He left Massachusetts several years ago to live in NM. He left a shotgun behind with family and is now looking to get it shipped out to him. To make a long story short, he is giving the shotgun to me to hold for...

    BHP Detective

    I just saw a new BHP Detective on my local gun dealer's wall. It has a heavy but rather nice trigger. What is the deal on these pistols, are they any good? Does anyone have any experience with them? Recommendations? Thanks. Frosty MOLON LABE

    British Police Raid Birthday Party

    Anti-gun paranoia is, sadly, alive and well in England. Just the mere fear of a gun seems to be reason to crash a birthday party and haul an 11-year off for questionning. http://www.icNewcastle.com Whoops! Try this...

    Boston's Gun Bible

    Has anyone else here seen and bought the book, "Boston's Gun Bible" by "Boston T. Party"? When I first heard of it I thought it was like the Blue Book of Gun Values, but after getting it at a gun show, I found that it is an in-depth discussion of guns, gun policies, etc. A lot of work went...

    Browning HP Mag Problem

    Two of the magazines I got with my Browning 9mm HP will not lock the slide back reliably. I took them apart tonight and discovered the problem. The magazine follower seems to bind against the inside rear of the magazine, keeping the follower from rising high enough to engage the slide lock...

    Flattop AR-15

    I have the opportunity to trade my Colt Match Target, 1 in 7 twist, with the regular carrying handle for a flattop Match Target, 1 in 9 twist. It has a few options which make it a good deal but i am more concerned about the flattop itself. Are there any problems I should be made aware of...

    I saw a nice older .22 the other day. It is a Stevens Model 416, a VERY heavy rifle with a bolt action. It is marked "U. S. Property" and has a Lyman scope. The scope is adjusted by set screws contained in a ring around the outside the scope tube and seem to move the whole scope. Anyone ever...
