I just installed a sidesaddle on my Win 1300. Its grip on shells in the middle 2 holders is TIGHT, whereas the outermost are useable. The inner ones are so tight that I could probably lift my weight holding onto the shell :) No way can I get those out in a hurry. I realize this thing will...

They just had some bit on the news where they showed a poll of students. X % said they had lied to their parents. Y % said they had cheated on a test Z % said that they had done <substitute reprehensible thing I can't remember> 49% said they had access to a gun. Clever, CNN, clever...

I don't know the term; but the screw on the side of the trigger group as seen with it removed - seems to hold down the long strip that holds the shell in the tube. . . . I found it loose, then tightened it. . . then wondering if it SHOULD be loose, I loosened it again. Tight or loose? If...

As mentioned in a prior post, I got my shotgun VERY wet. So I pulled it down and wiped ALL oil/water from it. I oiled most of the gun when putting it back together. Where I did NOT put oil was the magazine tube, or the (now dry) mag spring. I noticed now it makes a scrapy/creaky noise that...

I live in a city - my only experience with my Win 1300 defender was shooting slugs (all they allow) at an indoor range. Only really bought the thing "because I can". Went to an outdoor range today with a couple of friends shooting pistol. I went off to the shotgun area (isolated) to pattern...

It's hard where I live to shoot anywhere where they let you shoot shotgun (without slugs). I was going to take my 18" Win 1300 to this range outside of town. They have an outdoor area with a skeet/trap/whatever launcher, and LOTS of shells lying on the ground. They said I can prop up a box...

I've tried out my Win1300 defender (full stock, 18" barrel) at an indoor range that only lets me shoot slugs. I was doing quite well at 25 yards, and the range attendant got a hit at 100 yards on paper (human chest sized paper - I thought he was FOS when he said he could do it with my little...

Is this for REAL? http://www.realammo.com/realammo2.html I'm pro-gun and like "assault rifles"; but this is just downright scary! Does there seem to be any risk associated with experimenting with these? Battler.

A few months ago someone posted some EXCELLENT personal defense tips they had obtained from a trainer. Awareness, etc. were all covered (it was not gun specific). It was very long, pages. I lost my copy of it. Someone here posted of rapes occurring in broad daylight in a populated area where...

I've seen people post that there is a zooming addon for Aimpoint red dot Comp M scopes. I've seen mention of a 4x in a couple of places. Is this true? Or just a rumor started because there HAPPENS to be a 2x aimpoint out there. I have one ordered/on the way, I bought it for what it already...

(You'll all think I'm nuts). My rifle experience is mainly with scary-looking military style autoloaders. My experience with true "rifle calibers" is limited to a 308 FAL. I could try to coax a scope onto it; but that's probably a waste of time. I usually purchase from the "soon to be...

There are sites online selling surplus 308 AP BULLETS. Now, I heard that 308 is considered a pistol caliber (waiting for the concealed carry revolver, myself :) :) ) and making AP ammo for it is verboten. However, are the BULLETS grandfathered? Is assembling them into ammo illegal? I'm not...

Boy they're stoopid sometimes. True, they handle more than defense of the 2nd amendment; but I don't pay my dues for that. They've spent about my membership dues sending me crap requesting money. Assuming NOONE sent them extra donations. . . . 4 million members x $25 (minimum reg. fee) or...

Are there any good M1 resources online? A devoted web forum maybe? Been thinking of getting an M1/M1A of some sort, want to arm myself with the info first, though. thanks, Battler.

I am fairly new to shooting. I'm better with pistols than rifles (e.g. as far as is average performance with each). I have strong prescription glasses - I can't see 3 inches in front of my face (although as a young man with the right lenses in front I see fine). They are high index glass (to...

A friend of mine just unearthed (in a deceased relative's stuff) some old rifles, including (he claims) a bolt-action detatchable magagazine-fed 410 smoothbore. Any idea what this is? thanks, Battler. [This message has been edited by Battler (edited August 13, 2000).]

Dean Cain, Jennifer Beals - a movie where washed up actors go to die. It was very disturbing - they showed someone who considers and disccuses the second amendment - basically as we do - in a very poor light. The ATF agents were good and noble, although they did some things that were more...

I did everything everyone said. I CAN move the bolt stop; but I pull it down and it bounces back - there's something springloaded that's blocking it in place. Bolt is forward, gun IS dryfired, what am I doing wrong? I tried it with AND without pulling trigger, as well as orienting gun every...

http://www.vpc.org/press/0008ltk.htm You can get to the rest off of their main page. You can get these stats off the DPS site - they're the crime rates of the odd 200,000-ish people who have CHLs. Even though most of us know that the arrest rate is WAY lower than the general public...
