I didn't see a thread about this, so I thought I'd mention it. For the next few nights, flip on PBS and leave it. If you haven't seen it you should, and if you have you should see it again.

I am... amazed. I just watched him state, on national television, "I tend to subscribe to the theory that where there are more guns, there is less crime". I don't know what to say... I had him pegged as an anti. There's a pleasant surprise to brighten up my day!

I must be confused about something here. I was always under the impression that committing a crime involving a mailbox was under federal juristidiction, but I'm watching the news, and they're saying that he's being arraigned on state charges. Also, didn't he cross a number of state lines to do...

Well, I finally got my Mossy 500 back from it's extended stay (2 years, without my permission) with my father. I unloaded a can of CLP on her, put in the modified choke tube, and loaded up some 00 buck... Just thought I'd relate this story of reunion between a man and his shotgun. Now, if...

... since the reading of the verdict in the dog-mauling trial, and nobody has said a word. I'm surprised. IMHO a good verdict. Anybody else?

This from the ACLU: Now, I took my drivers license to vote, but they would have accepted my voter registration card as well. The difference is that my voter registration card was provided to me free of charge by the govt. It costs $5 to obtain a state-issued ID card in Texas (last I...

We've seen a few incidents of failure of our military equipment (namely aircraft) in/around Afghanistan lately. This leads me to a question. I was in 3rd grade the last time we were involved in any major military action so I have no recollection of incidents of equipment failure, but I have to...

I have a magazine article about them that's about 5 years old, but I am considering having them work over a rifle for me. Anybody know if this company is still around? If so, has anybody had them build a rifle? With what results?

Well, we lost another Green Beret today. First American soldier killed by hostile fire in Afghanistan. I know he knew what he was getting into, and I know he wanted to go defending his country and freedom, but that doesn't make it piss me off any less. Everybody say a prayer for this...

I'm curious to know if anybody has seen one of these things before. If you haven't, it's a 9mm SMG based on the AK frame. It's blowback operated, 700rpm, 64 round helical magazine, etc. It uses the 9x18 "special". It's supposed to be more powerful than the standard 9x18. Anybody actually...

I have a S&W Model 36 that I want to date. If anybody has a book handy, or can nail down an approximate date, please email me.

The last few times I've been to the range, I've had the misfortune to be about 15 feet to the right of somebody with a mini-14. This has spawned a question. Do all mini-14's launch their brass THAT far? I was quite literally 15 feet away, and the brass from one landed in my lap, and the brass...

I keep reading about chronographs. I have a rough idea of what a chronograph does, but I don't know what it IS. Could someone describe one?

I have a S&W model 36 revolver that has developed some surface rust. It sat in an open box in a closet for quite some time, so I'm not exactly surprised, but I would like to get it cleaned up. On the side of the frame, just below the hammer there are a few small rust spots, maybe 1-1.5mm...

A friend of mine has a post-ban Romanian-made AK-47 SAR1, and he's decided that he wants to put on a muzzlebrake. I looked over the legalities of "assault weapons", and it appears that muzzlebrakes are kosher, but we still have a bit of a problem. Obviously the AK-47 type muzzlebrake is not a...
