    Any truth to this rumor about tennessee taxing gunowners?

    My exterminator told me this morning that Tennessee is going to require a person to list all of his guns on the income tax form so he can be taxed for owning guns. This has got to be viral but I wanted to know if anyone can confirm or deny this rumor. I did a google search and couldnt find...

    Rave on the Remington 11-87 Police shotgun

    I have never owned a semi-auto shotgun. Always used pumps cause people tell me they are more reliable and that you can fire a pump as fast as an autoloader. I have enjoyed the use of pump shotguns for 20 years and never even fired an autoloader during that whole time or back when I was younger...

    Steel cased rifle ammo the norm in the future?

    I recently discovered that Hornady was not loading their TAP ammo into steel cases. I wonder if American ammunition makers are going to slowly wean us off of brass cased ammo. It took a while before American car companies jumped on the Rice Rocket wagon after the Japanese came out with them...

    human resistance to being shot

    This is the video of the Mexican subway shootout. Its in a different language but does go in depth showing the shootout in a thorough step by step presentation. Notice the man who takes four shots to his body yet has quite a bit of fight in him up to the fourth shot. Even the other people after...

    M14/ m1A tactical stocks

    Can't seem to understand why you can get Ruger mini-14 tactical stocks for roughly 100 dollars or so ... but anything comparable for an M14 is at least 400 and more. Isnt there any company that makes an inexpensive pistol grip tactical stock for the M14?

    body mass needed to make 5.56 tumble and break up.

    I shot a small predator recently with a mini-14 using ball ammo. After several hits it still reacted like it was never shot and ran some distance before I anchored it with a critical hit in the nervous system. How much tissue is required before one can benefit from the infamous tumble and break...

    holographic sights or open red dot sights

    I seem to be a bit confused on this. I know EOtech makes a dandy holographic sight but what are all these others sights that have been called holographic sights for years? Are they open red dot scopes? I need a crash course on this I suppose

    Ruger Garand upper for AR15 lower?

    It would be a right good idea if ruger tooks its garand like action, chamber it for 6.8 SPC and make it compatable to fit on an AR15 lower so it would accept M16 magazines. A platform like that could place a SHTF gun in the hands of our troops and at the same time clear the highest hurdle of US...

    Has the mini-14 ever failed to function in a gunfight?

    I know the track record of the mini-14 is not even close to the track records of the AKs and M16s/ ARs. So we can only go on what instances that it has been used in combat. I know in the Miami Shootout the mini apparently never malfunctioned. At Ruby Ridge when the mini-14 was fired it never...

    The new mini-14

    On my own experience with owning at least 4 different ones during the 90s as long as the magazines were good the guns were utterly reliable regardless of whether I cleaned it often or not. They were inaccurate except for one gun which I decided to shoot 68 grain match through with a choate stock...

    Question on M14/ M1A sights

    I have owned several different variants over the years and I have always experienced the same problem. Over time I have to check every now and then to make sure my rear sight elevation knob hasn't moved on me. I have tinkered with the tension screw but I don't want the thing so tight that if I...

    Drifting sight on Springfield XD

    Is there some kind of trick to drifting these sights. A while back I tried to drift the front sight on my XD and it never budged. I had the gun vised down and used a punch. The metal on the sight base began to slightly deform so I gave it up. I have never had problems drifting sights on any...

    what distance to zero Leopold CQ on AR flatop?

    Supposedly the sighting plane is identical to iron sights but when I measured it instead of 2.6 inches (iron sights) I am getting a solid 3 inches. What is the best distance to zero at? I figure 50 yards. If the sight plane is greater than for Iron that should mean the bullet will come down...

    Quest for the quietest 22 rifle.

    Firstly I have been doing this stuff for years. I have usually had to settle with using a 20 - 24 inch barrel rifle with cb longs to get the quiet noise I am looking for. I also have a 22 caliber air rifle that shoots 800 fps. It is louder than my 22 rifles with cb longs. Of course the pellets...

    Iron sights versus scope

    I will always be a scope person but there is a theory on scopes Theory states that because iron sights do not bounce around in a spring cradled tube that from a physics point of view they are more reliably precise than a scope. Especially in rapid fire where a scope tube is bouncing all over...
