It's flying so far under the radar that it's been largely invisible. To be signed in N.Y. by Hillary on July 27th. Are you ready to get a Federal license to handload your own ammo? http://www.examiner.com/article/senate-must-reject-inter-american-arms-treaty...

I posted it here because shotguns seem to get the most attention with this subject. Was shooting some heavy slugs on Saturday, but only ten rds. I was positioned wrong on one shot and it wacked me good and jarred my head. A good reminder that I'm not 30 anymore. Saturday night I had...

OK, I give up. I've been trying to find out the specific slug load used by Alaska State Troopers, or Conservation Officers for bear medicine. Sure is a ton of "They use slugs" as if it didn't matter which. Some have said Brenneke slugs, but without the specifics. If anybody happens to know...

This could have gone under politics, but general discussion seems appropriate, also. WARNING: You may not want to watch the video or even read the article if you anger easily, or suffer from high blood pressure, already. On the other hand, if you don't mind a liberal gas bag politician...

86 years old.:)

This from KABA. I haven't run across it before, so I don't think it's old stuff. In any event, it's rather disturbing. Especially when you hear the ruling of the Court. "When San Luis Obispo County Sheriff’s Deputy Darren Murphy responded to a 'shots fired' call in April 2008, he decided en...

Thought my ears deserved the best, so I broke down and bought a set of Pro Ears Gold Pro Magnums rated at NRR dB 33--best there is. Electronic amplification was excellent. Protection from gunshot was not good at all. My ears are still ringing, in fact. I returned them to Cabelas yesterday for...

Maybe not a major issue, but when pressing the mag. release hard, the magazine doesn't release. Ease up a little, or don't push too hard in the first place, and it works fine. Does it with Kimber mags and also Wilsons. I have a Sig P229 that does that with some magazines. Anyone know the...

This rifle is in good shape and was made between 1932 and 1935. Alas, the tubular magazine is done for. Would any more recent tubular magazines from other guns fit, perhaps, if the length was right? Can one be custom made? Was given a reference for Numerich by DavidAGO in curios and...

Anyone know where I might find such an animal? Bought my 141 B in the mid '60s. Excellent rifle, and I've be come "re-interested" in plinking around with it again. I'm just tired of using it as a single shot. I'd really be happy if there's a ten round magazine for it out there somewhere...

I have a M34 that I've basically restored. Blued, re-finished the stock. It was produced from about 1932 thru 1935. Anyone know where I can find a tubular magazine? Mines done for. I'm hoping some model .22 might be interchangeable with it. Could also use some guard screws. Any tips would...

A Federal three judge panel just ruled on a series of law suits, (some over a decade old), and ordered the State of Calif. to release 43,000 prison inmates. It hasn't been worked out yet how the bankrupt state will accomplish the task. Before the ruling they wanted to release 27K to save...

Wanted to see the impact difference of different brands of ammo along with different bullet weights. That was the main purpose. Used an AR15 HBAR with 1 in 7" twist and a new Mini 14 Tac with 1 in 9". Tested: Norinco 55 ball Hornady 60 gr. TAP FPD Hornady 75 gr. TAP FPD CorBon DPX 53 gr. Fed...

My opologies for being hasty. The DOD did in fact attempt to elimininate the sale of brass to manufacturers. In my haste, with me seeing red and all, I passed it on without proper research which would have shown the issue resolved. But only because of a flood of outrage. Even though it happened...

Well, it's sort of new. Saw one of what appears to be a limited production run, which is a P228 slide on a P229 frame. I guess the advantage over the P229 9mm is the breach block- stamped P228 slide is lighter than the one piece stainless slide P229. It has the rail, of course, and could, I...

For the second time now, I've stripped a bushing screw on the same P229. I have a number of Sig's and have not encountered that problem except for this one DAK SAS. By stripped I don't mean where it screws into the frame, but rather the threaded portion the grip screws go into. Don't want to...

I own 4 P220 Carry's with the internal extractor. Well, three and a Compact. One gun had a few (like 3) issues with last round feeding during break in. Another had, as I recall, only one FTF, with the last rd. not coming up all the way under the extractor. There have been no problems since...

I noticed some dings on my fired primers, besides the firing pin dent. A closer inspection showed some burrs around the firing pin hole, and it appears that the extra dings were caused by the case head slamming into the face and picking up the burr marks. The gun hasn't been fired all that...

Just got my new Dillon dies for .44 Spec. so I could load up some ammo for my new M21 Thunder Ranch on my 550B. First time I ever loaded for .44 Spec. Sized cases in carbide sizer and flared to what looked like a normal degree. The Berry 200 gr. rnfp plated bullets weren't very tight and I...

Well, with the town under 10 ft. of water, it seems that nobody is shooting at rescuers or looting stores and neighborhoods--- and the Police haven't set up checkpoints to confiscate folks firearms. Haven't been seeing people on TV wondering when the government is going to come and take care...
