TFL will always be my favorite gun spot on the net, but AR15 is a close second, even though I have never posted there. One of the main atractions on AR15 is the manufactures area, where all (some) of the AR15 manufacturers moderate thier own sections. Bushmasters' factory rep is very active, and...

DC beat me to it...barely ;) [This message has been edited by walkin' man (edited July 27, 1999).]

"Freedom in Chains: The rise of the state and the demise of the citizen" by James Bovard. Has anyone read this book? I'm in the middle of it and a little freaked out. I'd like to hear some comments. Does it have a happy ending? ------------------ To be or not to be-that is the question...

I hope this isn't too inappropriate. I don't know about the rest of you, but I have these mental images of the various people here on TFL. DC is one of the people who if I do a fast scroll through a thread and see her name I will always stop to read. I feel I have gotten to know her, like many...

Six of us went to the range today. Four experienced shooters and two newbies. One of the newbies, a school teacher, went from "guns=bad" to "I wonder what kind I should buy" in less than a week. :) Between the six of us we had: HK USP 45, SW mdl 60 357, Colt 357, Springfield 1911 45, Pocketlite...

What about making an informal agreement between TFL, AR15, and Bladeforums in the case of unexpected downtime. If one were to go down unexpectedly there would be a post explaining the situation on the other two boards.

Hi Harley, Great work you do here. Thanks. I have a question for you, or whoever chooses to answer. I recently acquired an old colt and know nothing about it. It is a very small .25 auto, SA only with walnut grips. On the left side: The horse and "COLT'S PT.F A. MFG. CO. HARTFORD, CT...

I've been trying to find a double barrel side by side with exposed hammers. 12 gauge would be good but I'd like 10 gauge better. It must have exposed hammers. Something like a stagecoach gun. I looked at the EAA Bountyhunter II this weekend, no good. It feels very cheap in the hand and the...

Is there good stuff I'm missing?

I hope this isn't true. Apparently CA has given immunity to thier subjects, as long as they turn in thier SKS's by 01/01/00 they won't be arrested. They will be given a voucher for $230 for every SKS surrendered to the proper authorities. Just look at the web site explaing the few painless...

Bradley considers including ban on handgun sales in gun control plan Associated Press 3.26 p.m. ET (1926 GMT) May 24, 1999 By Ron Fournier, WASHINGTON (AP) — Former Sen. Bill Bradley, Al Gore's sole rival for the Democratic presidential nomination, is considering including a ban on the sale...

This may have been posted in the past, but it is probably worth another look. It is a "survey poll of legal firearms owners in the U.S." Pretty interesting reading. This link will take you to the Freerepublic website. www.freerepublic.com/forum/a369c61c61d50.htm My first attempt at a...

I'd be interested to hear the varying definitions of what it means to be a good shot. Are you a good shot? Do you have to be able to empty the magazine into the 10 ring at 25 yards in 3.2 seconds to be a good shot? If "Frank" can shoot the #$$ out a gnat at 50 feet is he a good shot? If your at...

I read this on AR15.com last night and thought many would probably enjoy it. Quote from the author-- "Feel free to distribute as necessary" Jack99 Red_Neck_Suckers - I was hoping you would respond to my post. You may not believe this, but I was thinking about you last night. Mostly I was...

Does anyone know the effect of polygonal rifling on ballistics tests? On guns like the USP are you able to tell which particular pistol a bullet was fired from? Has anyone ever seen one under a microscope? Does it flatten the sides of the bullet? Anyone know how many sides there are to the...

GAO Warns of Sniper Rifle Sales By JIM ABRAMS Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP) -- Military sniper rifles like those used to stop Iraqi tanks during the Gulf War are now in the hands of thousands of civilians, including suspected terrorists and drug dealers, according to congressional...

I really hate to admit it, even to myself, but we are going to lose our right to keep and bear arms. It’s only a matter of time. You will be able to keep your single shot 20 gauge safely locked at the gun club and they will tell you “Your second amendment rights have not been violated”. I also...

How do you know if it's OK to dry fire a particular firearm if it isn't mentioned in the manual? The manual for a USP says it's OK, although she doesn't like to be teased. The manual for a Tomcat says it's a no-no. What about shotguns, rifles, or revolvers. Is there a rule? I would like to tap...

Now that the flowers are starting to pop out and the birds are singing I neeeed to shoot outside (not the birds or flowers). Are there any members in the Northern Virginia area who know someplace to shoot outside in an unstructured enviornment? Ranges are fine but sometimes its just more fun to...
