    Is there a legal forum where legal questions might be discussed?

    I didn’t find anything specifically, looking through the list of forums. Being as it’s a pretty wide ranging subject I thought surely there must be a forum for it here.

    Colt Texas Ranger Commemorative Single Action Army Revolver

    I have this pistol that I need to sell and I’m trying to gather information on the pistol. I’m seeing this gun all over the place going for around $4500 just curious about that price. Also I’m seeing what I assume is the serial# on this gun. As I understand it there were only 1000 of these...

    2nd Amendment question

    I am currently gathering material for a project and have run into a question that I’m having difficulty finding an answer to. I know the caliber of members on this board and figure this is the best place to find genuinely substantive answers. The question is this; I have always had just a...

    My Great Grandfather’s pistol.

    My Dad dug this pistol out of the closet. He tells me that his Grandfather gave it to him when he was a boy. My Dad is thinking that the pistol was bought before he was born ( my Dad is 76 ). Anyway the pistol seems to be in amazingly good condition. I’m not sure how to track down the serial...

    M14 trigger job

    Took my M14 to the range the other day and after about 20 rnds I start thinking that the trigger has too much drag in it. I don’t think the weight is too much but it doesn’t start to move very easily. Anyone know where I might find information on honing the trigger on the M14 ?

    Looking for a recoil pad.

    I started a project at the beginning of the Christmas holydays. I am bringing my Dads old Springfield 03 A3 back up to serviceable condition. The family planed a day at the range so I got the barrel blued and put everything back together and off we went to the range. The first thing I see on...

    Springfield 03 A3 project

    I am starting a new project. It’s a Springfield 1903 A3. Actually that is the design. After doing some inspecting I find that the stamp on the receiver is US Remington 03 A3 3403361. At the end of the barrel there is a stamp that is almost gone R A and then about a ½ inch down from that is a...

    U.S shale oil reserves 3 times the size of Middle East oil reserves.

    I’m hearing lately that the oil companies are saying that the shale oil reserves in this country cover something like three states and estimate that the recoverable oil is more than 3 times that of the entire Middle East. It also seems the oil companies have pretty much got the recovery process...

    What to expect if I trade my M1A for an AR in .308

    I have been thinking of trading my Springfield M1A for an AR in .308 but I am unsure what I should expect by way of value. Is it reasonable to expect to be able to trade straight across? I have looked on Gunbroker and my rifle is listing around $1300 to $1500 without the scope. I was at the gun...

    Trucks crossing border

    I know this super highway thing has been in the works for some time and somehow I had assumed that there would be some sort of inspection going on so that we knew what was in those trucks. But today my Dad told me that he had just heard on the radio that the Trilateral Commission has issued a...

    Body armor, what will it stop?

    Have been wondering for some time just how effective bullet proof vest actually are. I was watching these ATF guys testifying on the stand during the trial for the Waco incident and there was this one guy (actually in tears) saying that their vest weren’t stopping the bullets from the people...

    Differences in presses

    I am in the process of researching reloading and something I have been seeing in presses is 4 station or 5 station arrangements. So far I haven’t found anything that actually explains what the differences is and what one allows you to do as opposed to the other. Could someone please explain...

    Gunsmith on the north side of Houston

    Trying to find a gunsmith on the north side of Houston that I would trust. Since I don’t know any gunsmiths I figure the only thing to do is find one someone else trusts. I just got an M1A and the first thing I figure I will have done to it is have a scope put on it. Anyone out there know any...

    Increase in gun sales

    Is it just me or does anyone else get the idea that gun sales have dramatically increased. I live in Houston, well actually just north of Houston (they’re wanting to annex us ) and I am in the gun stores quite a bit and I have several stores to choose from. Of the several stores I visit, more...

    M1A National Match or Standard

    I am going to pick up an M1A I bought through “Gunbroker.com” and it is supposed to be a National Match model. Is there a way to distinguish between the two models. Is there some factory marking or serial number that identifies one from the other. National Match or Standard.

    Shooters in Houston area.

    Every weekend I go to the range and run a couple of hundred rounds through my .45 and sometime I also go on over to the trap range and shoot a couple of rounds ( 25 clays ) of trap. Interestingly while there are always plenty of people out there I rarely see the same people twice. So I was...
