    Observation on Indonesia

    This is one of the most anti-american/west countries outside the middle-east. It is almost 88% muslim, many fanatical. I believe that there were a few bombings, and a lot of australian tourists were killed. It seems that we are now going to send aid to these people. I believe it is US tax...

    Is anatomy taught in handgun SD classes?

    It seems that hunters, know where to shoot game, to kill it rather effectively. It seems that people who are learning to shoot tactically, or just want to realise the full potential of their weapon, should learn human anatomy, so that they can effectively stop someone, without having to...

    Semi's desighned around the .40

    What weapons that are about the size of a G23, or smaller, were built around the .40 case. Double stack weapons, for a person with larger hands, the G27 is fun and accurate to shoot, but is a little small. Do not think the case not being supported in the glocks is a big issue, just wondering...

    Any parking lot aggression at stores?

    I just saw a little story, about the way people park, and saw a film, of people's parking habits. They even showed survelliance tape of a car pushing another car out of a parking spot. Never understood the concept of driving around, or searching for a spot. I always just went down a row, and...

    Digital powder dispensers/scale/trickler

    I have been looking at the lyman 1200, like the fact the scale has a plastic wind/breath guard. RCBS seems to have a very big rep for quality from the rockchucker press to dies. Is the Powder master electronic Powder dispenser any good. Any other brand and comments welcome. I use Lee dies...

    Model XR-100™ Rangemaster® http://www.remington.com/firearms/centerfire/xr100.htm I guess the fact that it has an external trigger adjustment is an improvement over the accutrigger. Does anone have a 40-xb with this type of adjustment, is it a good system? Anybody shoot it and the...

    Has the 8 wheeled LAV made it to Iraq?

    I heard a lot about this being a good fast, high firepower weapon platform that because of it's lightness can get to hotspots faster, and drive down most roads a lot quicker than the abrams. I have seen it configured with the 120mm smoothbore, as a hightech emergency room on wheels. It seems a...

    Win Model 1887 12ga

    I just got a copy of G&A today and it has a calender with classic guns. They have a pic of the win 1887. I thought that it was plauged with feed problems and ejection problems. I always thought it was a nice idea. Was it the paper shells that caused these problems and the new plastic would...

    BRIT HUME, FOX NEWS: The crime rate in Kennesaw Georgia, near Atlanta, is 89 percent lower than it was 19 years ago according to the Marietta Daily Journal. What's the news in that?

    WASR-10 semi-auto rifle $349

    They also have this gun at the same store. Does anyone know if it has a chromed bolt. I think I saw it at another store and the bolt is black, I don't know if it is blued or painted like the rest of the receiver. The bore is chromed. The funny thing about the gun is that the pistol grip is...

    CETME .308 sporter $349

    I saw this rifle advertised at a sporting goods store. Are they a reliable gun? Do they have a decent trigger? Can a gunsmith clean up the trigger or do you have to replace the whole trigger assembly? I am looking at the sights it looks like a front post protected by a circular metal guard...

    Obama and Keyes in Illinois

    Remember that it is just as important if not more important to vote in senators and congressman who support guns. There would have been no 1994 bill had it not been voted into law in the legislature. In a debate bama talked about taking away people's guns, keyes replied that bama was ignorant...

    Is a stainless steel barrel and action better?

    I am wondering if a stainless steel barrel and action has a lot of advantages in a rifle? Is the alloy used in firearms rustproof? Does it stand up to chemicals like sweets 7.62 copper cleaner better? Is the composition of the metal able to withstand the stresses of shooting much better, or...
