Saw this at the shop a few days ago: side-by-side, 12-gauge, exposed hammers(!). Asking $350. Lots of people admiring it, but no one wants to take it home. Except me. I have a Norinco SKS, and have handled one of their 1911s. Perfect functioning with both. Anyone have any opinions or...

A few months ago, there was a thread about gun nightmares (literally). The one I've always had, the Hundred-Pound Trigger, has mutated. Last night, it started out the same as always, but instead of being unable to pull the trigger... the gun was missing. Vanished. The holster was there on my...

(edited for tone) The Massachusetts AG has effectively banned new handgun sales effective 3 April. Where's the outrage? [This message has been edited by Coinneach (edited April 07, 2000).]

Nice... two different fonts in each post. Grrr...

Got the latest McCormick catalog in the mail a couple of weeks ago. Looks like Chip sells frames... slides... barrels... Since I love to tinker, I started assembling a list of parts necessary to build my own 1911. Totalled them up... $1200 and change. My question to those who have done it...

(tension-breaker, has to be done...) Was thinking about Baba Wawa last night, and her inane "If you were a tree, what kind of tree would you be" question. Well, if *you* were a cartridge or bp load, what would *you* be? Personally, I think I'm a .45ACP: height/weight not exactly...

Yes, once again it's time for Fitz' Stupid Questions! :D I'm looking to put a Jewell trigger on my Bushy and set it to 2.5-3 pounds. I'm also looking to get a GAT Enhancement just for the gee-whiz factor. Is anyone aware of incompatibility issues with this setup?

OK, I've really gone round the bend. :) I want a .50. Don't *need* one, but after all, it ain't about *need*. I'm considering the Boss .50BMG upper (fits on an AR-15 lower). Distributed by Watson's Weapons ( http://www.watsonsweapons.com ). Anyone got one of these or have any opinions/input?

I really should know better than to hit the pawnshops on payday. I've been looking for something in .223Rem. AR-15 is of course my first choice, but a Mini-14 would be cheaper. Well, after cashing my check Weds. morning, I stopped at my favorite pawnshop to see what I could see. Asked the...

http://polls.vantagenet.com/zpolls/count.asp?rlt=1222121332&id=1222121332 In a recent poll, 100% of the American People stated their belief that trigger locks do not prevent crime. So, where's CNN and ABC to trumpet the news? :D (btw: yes, the poll links back to my discussion board)...

Actually, I'm just the opposite. I can talk to machines and animals, but humans baffle me. :) ------------------ "If your determination is fixed, I do not counsel you to despair. Few things are impossible to diligence and skill. Great works are performed not by strength, but perseverance." --...

Saturday afternoon, a fellow came into the shop looking for 8mm Labell (sp?) ammo. He swears up and down that that's what's stamped on his rifle, which is over 100 years old (he says). None of us there had heard of it. I can't find it in any of my reloading books. Harley, Jim, do you have a...

Something's been nagging at me... a feeling that I've forgotten something... a feeling of impending, nay *imminent* doom. I checked my profile, and lo! Today's my first anniversary with TFL, and I didn't get youse guys a gift. :eek: So who's first with the rolling pin upside the head? :D...

No, I don't mean Rich is embarassed. ;) Last week, I sent off for "Modern Reloading" by Richard Lee. Yes, *that* Lee. Yesterday, I bought the 13th Edition Speer Manual. Was up until 0100 this morning, mostly drooling and giggling over the tungsten penetrator. Today, the Lee manual arrived in...

OK, seriously geeky question here: anyone have the twist rate for an original Enfield No 4 Mk I? If not, I suppose I can do the cleaning rod and magic marker thing. :) ------------------ "If your determination is fixed, I do not counsel you to despair. Few things are impossible to diligence...

...as in, right now. Over 600 users there as well. Sic 'im! UPDATE: The moderator is bouncing people who ask about gun control. Gee, what a surprise. :mad: ------------------ "If your determination is fixed, I do not counsel you to despair. Few things are impossible to diligence and skill...

OK, this is gonna sound weird (like everything I say doesn't, right?). At King Sooper's last night, there were some lockboxes from Brink's on sale. First time I'd seen them in the store. Rated to 1500 degrees, sturdy as hell, the *small* one has internal dimensions of 11Wx8Hx4D, which is...

The District of Columbia's NBA franchise is The Washington Bullets. Well, it seems that the team's owners are unhappy about the name, which associates them with violent crime, so they're changing it... . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ...to just "The Bullets." (rimshot) ------------------ "If...

Hello all, it's me again, with another bizarre question. ;) I picked up some new nickel-plated .45-70 brass yesterday, and loaded it last night. During expansion, there was a hideous grinding sound on every case, at the last 1/2" of ram travel. The cases expanded fine, and I saw no signs of...
