    Assistance with entry to a Rifle Forum

    Like one of the Sig Forums, ar15.com does not acknowledge the @yahoo, @gmail, etc email addresses. Years ago, well past my memory capability, I actually did have an address that differed with the y mail, g mail, etc, addys. Dot com entities have been sold, resold, submerged, inbred, or...

    'Unintended Consequences', John Ross

    I didn't much care for last 1/3 or so of the book, so it isn't something that I'd want to keep. Amazon lists the used Hardcover price 65.00. If anyone is interested, I'll sell my copy for 45.00 shipped. Like new, read only once. Thanks, salty

    Colt P 9 Grip Panels

    Several years back I bought a Colt P 9 9X19. It came with an oversize set of rubber grip pnels. The oversize rubber panels didn't make sense for carry pistol, so I ordered a set of wood replacements. They were oversize also. I reduced the circumference of the panels by sanding off the...

    Measuring chamber on early-mid 20th century shotguns

    How is this done?...privision for the star crimp to unfold adds ? to the chamber length?...do smoothbores have a 'forcing cone'? Chamber length isn't stamped on the water table or anywhere else that I can find. From what I think that I understand, if the action closes on a shotshell, that...

    Home Security Safes, Fire ratings

    If a home security safe has a fire rating advertised as 'X' degrees for 'Y' time, is that advertising refering to the the integrity of the safe, or the internal temp of the metal box? Paper, such as non-replacabale Deeds, Certificates of Ownership, etc.,will char and become unreadable long...

    'Pre-Ban' production ends at serial #....?

    The rifle is a Colt HBAR. The seller, a neighbor, says it is a 'pre-ban'. Is that a good thing?...why/why not?... At what point in the serial number sequence did 'pre ban' become 'post ban'? Thanks, salty

    B.O.S.S. by Browning

    Is it 'snake oil'? Understood that, maybe, it can be 'dialed in' to mate the barrel movement to a specific load. The BOSS makes sense in a semi-logical first blush glimpse. Is it a practical, worthwhile improvement, or not? The rifle is a .308 BAR. Thanks, salty

    Does anyone know of a holster, preferably Kydex, that'd allow re-holstering of the 75 Compact DA/SA? I saw items from Comp-Tac and Fobus for the de-cocker Compact, not the DA/SA. Suggestions appreciated. Thanks, salty

    Bullseye, the powder and game

    Yesterday the nice USPS Carrier left me with an 8 lb jug of Bullseye and 5,000 primers. After getting about 20 years of dust off the Progressive and running a few rounds and measuring powder drop, I found that either my charge holes have grown of the new batch of BE powder is a tad heavier...

    Speed Strips, .41, .44, & .45 Colt

    My Google Fu and search didn't show any results, hopefully you can help. I remember reading where some enterprising soul has marketed speed strips in bigger flavors than .38 case head size. I can not find that reference. Guess I should have 'Bookmarked' it. My bad. Do any of you remember...

    'Bang Sticks' in-shore.

    I do not know if this is the correct sub-forum. If not, please put this post where it belongs. Are 'Bang Sticks" legal inshore? I know some fishing charter boats have them onboard. Supposedly, they are not exactly unheard of by folks who harvest 'gators. Thanks, salty
