    Appleseed in PA this weekend...CC?

    I have a VA permit. What are the laws concerning concealed carry in PA, especially around the Philly area where the shoot is?

    Do you enjoy carrying?

    Sorry if this has been polled before. It occurred to me that I really don't enjoy carrying. It's inconvenient, heavy and makes me hitch my pants all the time. Some people will point out the small CC weapons, but it's still problematic sometimes having to be aware where not to take it...

    My Mosin strikes again!

    :D I don't usually bring the Beast, but felt like it today just because. As usual I'm hitting away with my x39 carbines and 22 pistol, when a work truck pulls up. They do a few rounds of 30-30 and something else, then when they least expect it I light off a 54r with muzzle flash.:eek::p A...

    Saiga rear sight options

    I'd like to get a different rear sight for my x39 as I'm attending the Appleseed shoot and I'd like to have some adjustability. Looked at the Mojo, any others?

    Change in accuracy with barrel threading?

    At some point I'd like to get my Kadet threaded. I'm just concerned it'll change the amazing accuracy it has.

    Can someone identify this magazine?

    Bought this at Cabelas in PA. There's something wrong with it...when inserted into my CZ 75BD there's a definite hitch halfway up and LOTS of resistance, then as you can see it isn't even the same angle. I've tried calling Cabelas CS line but they just ask I leave a message. Unfortunately I'm...

    A sad day. Ran out of Tannerite!

    :D I burned up the last three charges today. The last one I set off between three empty 20# propane tanks, and it threw them about 30' to the side. Ah well, time to pony up another couple hunnerd bucks for the stuff. So ah, curious. I understand the white part is ammonium nitrate. The...

    Saiga hiccup?

    Put about 100 rounds through the x39 Saiga today. A few times I went to pull the trigger and...nothing. No click or anything. It actually felt like the trigger didn't reset somehow, and I had to pull back the bolt halfway to be sure it had a live round in the chamber, which it did. BTW this...

    7.62x39 vs steel plate

    I bought some mild steel welding plate from Home Depot. I shot this with Wolf FMJ at 90 yards. The hit actually cut the cords and knocked it off the tree. 1/4" x 12". Most of the 70 yard hits went clean through it like it wasn't there.

    CZ 527 carbine rear sight?

    I know the front is replaceable for elevation, but you can't adjust anything for windage. Where can I get one that will allow for that?

    Proud of my Kadet today!

    Here's my pride and joy. I just had to share, this thing shocked me today. I hung up some steel plates at 70 and 90 yards (measured) plus a couple 20lb empty propane tanks at 60 and some 5" steels on the ground. Just with cheap ol' Federal bulk pack, I could hit the 90 within 2-3 shots, then...

    357 ammo types?

    I bought some 125gr rounds for my SP last month after reading it's one of the most potent types. At the range today, I compared those to the 154gr S&B and :eek: what a difference. The 125's were very hard recoiling and quite the firebreathers, while the others seemed fairly manageable in...

    S&W Model 36 info?

    I was given one of these due to a death in the family. It belonged to an actual Chief of Police many years ago. However I know nothing about the little revolver. The cylinder has good lockup and very little end shake. Can an occasional +P be fired out of it? It may even be used as a CC gun...

    Just got back from Jersey

    Spent a week up there and got a few opinions on firearms in general, in addition to the definite media slant. In a nutshell people I talked with echo the news reports and political figures concerning the 'influx' of firearms from other states. They believed the murder issue there is caused by...

    Question about NJ and an old revolver

    Tomorrow I will be given an old police 38 S&W. My friend's mother passed away today and it was her husband's duty gun. She kept it in her apartment for protection after he passed a long time ago. I need to know all the legal issues about this. It is not a purchase. It is in NJ to further...

    Public ranges around Winchester VA?

    The past couple years I've been using The Cove but it takes about an hour to get there. Sleepy Creek is about the same. Any other ranges I don't know about? Isaac Walton doesn't count...they want some serious $$$ to join up.

    Hornady XTP claim?

    Just bought this yesterday for my 3" SP101. 1500fps seems a bit steep, no? Is that out of an 8" barrel or something?

    Concerning the workplace

    Something struck me the other day while at work. Many places if not most do not allow firearms on the premises...we all know that. But let's explore this a little more. I don't pretend to know much about all the constitutional rights, but it seems to me when you enter the workplace, many...

    Browsing the Wall Street Journal today

    I glanced at the metals market. Seems copper has not increased in price one whit compared to a year ago, but lead went up 150%! Same goes for stainless steel. Maybe they'll start making bullets out of something else that's cheaper.
