http://www.cnn.com/2005/US/12/23/hitler.gun.ap/index.html A gun believed to be Hitlers, a 12ga/8mm drilling rifle, is going to be auctioned on GunBroker. Should be interesting to see how this goes. Money goes to the Anti-Defamation League.

Ok, what is the legality of grenades? The reason I ask, is that in the latest flyer I got from Ammunition Store, they have smoke grenades advertised for $39. I would suspect that explosive grenades are under control of the NFA, but what about things such as smoke, or tear gas, or something...

Ok, found a Swede M38 today. Now, I didn't really need this to waltz into my life right now, but I have been wanting a little brother for my M96. A couple questions: 1) This one ahd a straight bolt. I understand they were made with both straight and bent bolts, correct? 2) This had a dial...

Anyone got an opinion of these in .45LC, 7 1/2" barrel? Sporting goods store in the area has them new for $299 the day after Thanksgiving. That seems to be a decent price, someone let me know if I'm wrong. Thinking about bugging the parents to gift me a handgun for Christmas. Basically, what...

Ok, so my Rifle class at school has started. We are shooting these nifty Feinwerkbau air guns. I love the thing, and wouldn't mind one. However, something about a precision Obendorf airgun screams expensive to me. How much do these things cost, and where can I find one? I believe the model...

OK, I have an 870 Express with a Walnut stock (an oddity, I know). It has the matte finish, like the other Expresses, not the glossy like the wingmasters. What sort of finish was used on these guns? It is starting to get rough, and since I use it for duck hunting, I don't want it getting...

Just an FYI, Dunhams has the Homak take-apart double sided gun cabinets for $39. Certainly not the best or sturdiest, but better than nothing. Holds 7 guns on the one side, and has three or four shelves on the other for ammo or parts, or probably handguns would fit too. Got one for my cheaper...

Which current commercial loads replicate M2 ball loads? I have lots of people wanting to shoot my M1, and can't keep supplying ammo for them. Any off the shelf types of ammo that aren't hard to find (say, at a Wal-Mart or Dunhams) that work well, that I can have them buy? I shoot the LC CMP...

Ok, my friend just gave me one of these guns in poor condition. Does anyone know where I can get disassembly directions for this gun? It is the single shot model.

Well, I bought a Hi-Point 9mm Carbine. Probably the ugliest gun I have ever seen. For $70, I figure I couldn't go wrong, especially with their no-questions asked lifetime warranty. Figure it'll make a good little plinking gun, ammo is cheap enough for my college buddies to go out and shoot with...

I took a look at some 452's the other day, and not realizing how cheap they were, inow have a great interest in them. So, some questions on them. 1) What is the difference between the Training and the Lux models? Just the stock wood? 2) How much accuracy would I lose with the full stock...

OK, are these decent rifles? I have been thinking about a bolt .22 lately, and the price on these certainly isn't bad on the M12, $225. Everything I read about the gun seems to put them as a real decent shooting gun. I don't need a field gun, I already have a 10/22 for that, so the weight and...

Does anyone else believe this, that the enemy can hear the ping, rush the GI and kill him while he is reloading? I think I finally put the myth to rest, at least in my mind. I was spotting for my buddy, maybe 5 feet back at about 130 degrees (not directly behind him, off to the side a bit). I...

OK, I want to know what the problems with public schools are. I can't believe I am the only person to have gone to a decent public school. I don't remember any 'indoctrination'. Was there liberal views expressed? Sure. But there was also countering conservative views being displayed. Did I have...

Just an FYI, the new in wrapper M1's that CMP has are up on their auction site. The single Springfield is up to $2300m with 15 days left on the bidding, and a pair of H&R's are at $5500. These guns are pretty, brand spankin new.

Anyone ever gone through the CMP Small Arms Firing School? I was at the North store today, and the people there talked me into it. I will be attending the rifle school this year. I figure it seemed a good way to learn about competition shooting, and having a personal military coach can't be a...

You may not believe me, but there is an EXCELLENT essay on DU on the problems of the Democratic party and its stance on gun control. http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=118x97165 The author specifically says that he wishes us and THR could go back to...

Why is it that Democrats seem to think that the NRA is simply a pro-Republican organization out to upset Democrats at any cost? Why is it hard for them to understand that the NRA endorses based on the candidates stance on guns and nothing else? Why is it that they think that Democrats who...

I'm sorry to say it, but the days of service grades mismarked as racks are over. Not that that is suprising, since the days of srvice grades are coming to an end. Suffice it to say that quality has dropped off even since my last trip less than two months ago. Or, maybe I just caught a bad...

Well, I finally got my build done. Parts came from Del-Ton yesterday, although I was still on the way home from college, but today, she got put together. The gun has a DPMS lower, and is paired with a Del-Ton A2 rifle kit. Total cost was $606 dollars, not counting magazines. I got three USGI...
