    The Cold War: who won?

    The Berlin Wall fell, the USSR cut off its satellite contries, and the USSR became Russia. The free world won that battle. Then again, with all the paramilitary police actions and the severe left leanings of all of our schools and media (ensuring ongoing left shifts), did we really win? It...

    Utah CCW questions

    At the Orange County, CA gunshow today, I ran into a man who was passing out flyers regarding Utah CCW. The flyer reads: <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Carry legally With a Utah permit you can carry a concealed firearm in 14 states: AK, AZ, AR, ID, IN, KY...

    Mail order ethics

    Well, my smith finally received the G3 parts kit from InterOrdnance today. I thought I'd buy their "like new" kit and be on the safe side. Here's what a "like new" bore looks like to IO: <IMG SRC="http://albums.photopoint.com/j/View=238699&a=1773670&p=17791707&Sequence=0">"> (not working...

    Czech VZ-24 Mauser

    I've found a CZ-made VZ-24 (K-98 copy) Mauser for $99 at a local shop. Things seem to be in pretty good shape, with the exception of the finish, which is nearly gone. It's in typical 8mm Mauser. What's the story with this rifle? Are most K-98 parts interchangeable with this? What's the general...

    CZ Diagnosis?

    My CZ-75 has a problem. I have, what I believe is, an extractor problem and want to run it by some knowledgeable people. The result of the stoppage is an empty case in the chamber blocking a loaded cartridge that's half-in/half-out of the magazine. Sometimes the empty gets out of the chamber...

    Garand sling how to?

    I just purchased a Turner's Saddlery National Match sling for my Garand and can't figure out the right way to attach it. It has two leather straps, one short with a double hook on one end and a d-ring on the other. The longer strap has two leather keepers, a double hook at only one end, and is...

    ATF church arson task force?

    What the heck? The ATF, of all agencies is in charge of church arsons? Are they investigating or giving instructions? See link and scroll down about half way. http://www.atf.treas.gov/

    Gun parts export question

    Asking this one for an acquaintance. As far as the US ATF/State Departments are concerned, could a Norwgian citizen, either living in or visiting the US, purchse a stripped HK G3 gripframe and ejector and return to Norway with it? I said that as long as it wasn't a receiver, the US government...

    There's Something In My Ice Cream!!! 1/1/0099 Yeech! There's Something In My Ice Cream! Let's crush Ben & Jerry's! by Tom Adkins Last week, I found a nasty surprise in a pint of Ben & Jerry's Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough frozen yogurt. Buried in one of those luscious globs of goo was a...

    New militiaman: Got my CMP Garand...

    It finally arrived today. A Winchester Repeating Arms M1 Garand, made sometime in 1944, according to my literature. The stock has some pretty major dings and gouges, but the metal looks like it was arsenal refinished and stored immediately thereafter. It is the CMP's "Service" grade. I was on...

    Transfers and taxes question

    Here's a question on which I need some good input. I purchased a receiver from an out of state dealer (InterOrdnance) and had it shipped, first to my smith to have it built into a rifle, and now to my local FFL for the standard paperwork, DROS, and whatnot. My local FFL charges $30 for this...

    Gun Sales are up in California

    No kidding. An article in the 18Dec99 Orange County Register, typically a libertarian viewpoint, tackles this gripping story. Actually, the article originated at the Scripps news service. <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Interviews with gun-shop owners and...

    South African HK magazines

    Anybody have any experience with "south african" HK G3 mags, particularly the 30-rnd variety? I just bought one at the Pomona show for $40. Other than being filthy, it looks well made and appears identical to HK steel mags, albeit much longer.

    Rainbow Six: Rogue Spear

    Bought this a week or so ago. It's definitely and improvement over the first R6. You have more control over your different teams, such as when they pause prior to receiving a go-code, you can have them either snipe, defend (360 degrees), or cover (180 degrees) orders so that they don't get...

    3 Killed as Man goes on Rampage, again...

    Yep, it happened again. Some bozo went nuts and killed 3 people and injured 12 others on Wednesday, September 29, 1999. Wonder why you didn't hear about it? Probably because it happened in Japan and the man used a knife, an assault knife presumably. Here's the whole deal, if you care...

    Non-Pistol Grip pistol grip?

    I saw one of these bizare pistol grip replacements at the Big A gun show. It was a very strange looking, but surprisingly comfortable contoured and stippled piece of wood that would make your CA "assault rifle" a non assault rifle. Your thumb rides close to the receiver (thumbholes are taboo...

    Emergency Broadcast System & the Militia

    I've been thinking about this for a bit and decided to throw it out and get some feedback. While listening to the radio in my car a few weeks ago, the broadcast was rudely interrupted by that annoying buzz/beep of the emergency broadcast system, "this is only a test." I began to think that this...

    Postal Match Invitation

    www.makarov.com is holding their second annual postal match. For those of you not familiar, this type of match requires each participant to shoot the match at his/her own convenience and mail (hence "postal") the resulting target to the judges for verification. Obviously, this requires honest...

    HK Receiver

    I saw some pretty HK receivers advertised in SGN about a month ago. These were made by, I believe, FMP in South America (Brazil?) under liscence by HK and had the cocking tube welded in place. I think the asking price was in the neighborhood of $450. Does anyone know if they are still available...

    Access forbidden to ATF's web site?

    I was rooting around for the import criteria for pistols and decided to get it straight from the horse's a**, er that is "mouth" at BATF's web site. Well, I could get as far as the Treasury Dept's listing of bureaus, but when I try the hyperlink to ATF's web site, I get: <BLOCKQUOTE><font...
