    What would Harry Browne have done?

    We've all heard many times after 9-11, "aren't we lucky Algore isn't president". Well to all you LPers out there. Somehow your Harry Browne gets himself elected in '00. How do you think he would have handled this?

    Looking for a .22 wheel gun

    I was getting geared up to buy a S&W 18, until I fondled a Colt Diamondback. From the outside the Diamondback looks and feels nicer, noticeably nicer. Granted I've only looked at one of the Colts, they're kinda hard to come across 'round these parts. I'd like to ask you guys who have...

    re-chambering question?

    I've got a Sako L61R action in a 338winny that I'm thinkin' on turning into a 338rum. Other than changing the actual chamber size, would any othe modifications be called for? FWIW, this is a rifle that handles and shoots great for me, and it's one I'll never part with. So I'm not worried...

    Winchester model 37

    I've got a model 37 in a 20ga. that I picked up in a partial trade many moons ago and has been stuffed away in my safe ever since. On the barrel it just says "choke", not full or modified, just "choke". What does this mean? Any idears?

    FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT USE ONLY

    I was cleaning out some old boxes down in the basement and found a box of Winchester 10mm ammo. I sold my Delta Elite last year and have no use for the stuff and don't personally know anyone who does shoot a 10mm. What's got me confused about this box is that on the front it reads "FOR LAW...

    10/22 magazine question

    Does it weaken a 10/22 magazine to leave it loaded for extended periods? As for the longevity of the mag, would it be better to leave them fully loaded, completely empty, or a couple rounds short of full? My wife says I'm a couple rounds short of a full mag. I'm not sure what she means by that.

    Which spring is it?

    A couple months I acquired an older 870 as part of a trade. The poor old thing has not had the best of treatment and was in need of stock refinishing among other things. While I had it dismantled across my desk, my 2 year old son made off with the magazine spring. I searched the house high...

    Would like some help please

    While over at my pa's house yesterday we got to talking guns and he proceded to empty some of the contents of his safe out on the floor. He bought a lot of these guns from stores like Walgreens and the likes when they were having closeout sales and getting out of the gun business. Most are...

    Waiting period?

    I've been searching high and low, half the summer for a Sendero SF in a .300 mag. Found one finally at a very good price over in Omaha, NE(I'm a IA resident). So I gather up all my nickles and dimes and dive the 45 miles over there. Then go marching in there to claim this beauty. The...

    I just voted for George Bush....again

    I'm gonna be up in the high lonesome during the election so I went into town today and voted absentee. This is the 3rd time I've voted for George Bush for president. In '88, '92, and now in '00. The Bush's are batting .500 in presidential races, I'm hoping we can improve on their average this...

    Do these people live in a cave?

    The wife was watching Matt Blowser this morning, he's interviewing a couple of people who are still "on the fence" as to who to vote for. Where do they find these people? Is there anyone out there who still hasn't made up their mind? They sound as if they had no idea about what "W" and algore...

    Kimber or Springfield?

    I want to get a nice 1911 and have decided to mainly focus on these 2 manufacturers. I'm sure there's a bunch of you guys out there that have or have had both brands. Knowing what you now know, which would you go with? Oh yeah, we need to keep it under $1000. FWIW, I do have a Sig P220 that...

    Butler Creek Carbon fiber barrel??

    I just got my new Bulter Creek Carbon fiber barrel yesterday. Slapped it on and started shootin. Within just a few shots I had it fairly close to zero at 60 yards. I should first say that this barrel is replacing a factory stainless bull barrel that shoots 1/2" to 3/4" groups consistantly at...

    Springfield Armory scope for an AR-15?

    I gotta get a scope for a new AR. A friend of mine mentioned that Springfield Armory makes a good scope for an AR. My first choice is Leupold, it's the only brand of scope I own. Does anybody have any experience with a Springfield scope? I'd like to hear about them, good, bad, or ugly...

    S&W or Ruger

    I'm going to buy a new(nearly new) 357mag. I've kinda got it narrowed down to a S&W686 or a Ruger GP100. It'll mainly be my wife's gun, she's not real fond of my 44mag. We'll use it as a house gun, target shooter, and plinker. It won't be carried so I'm thinking 6" barrel. I'm also thinking...

    A gun is a tool....

    "A gun is a tool..., no better no worse than any other tool, an axe, a shovel, or anything. A gun is as good or as bad as the man using it." Shane, 1952 I still love that movie. :) ------------------ bullet placement is gun control
