    Canadian gun law interview

    I was listening to this today and it struck me how fortunate we are to have the second amendment and our constitution written the way they are and that most states are sane in their approach to the owning and bearing of arms. There's also a word of warning that we remain vigilant and try to beat...

    Weird vest

    I got this as a gift and I feel like I've seen this attachment system before but I'm drawing a blank. Any ideas? (Apologies for the upload method, it was what I had available that I could do with one hand while holding a baby) https://pin.it/4KDmGwK Let me know if you want more pictures.

    Paul brace issue expanding

    So this popped up on my feed today. The claim is more manufacturers are receiving letters from the ATF similar to what happened to Q. Can anyone confirm this? Google is less than helpful right now. Here's a link to the video.

    Wisconsin and age of exercising rights

    In the wake of the tragic deaths of two protestors shot while participating in a riotous mob pursuing a minor with an AR-15, I've seen many discussions on the issue of whether or not Me. Rittenhouse should be charged with a felony over the original misdemeanor and whether or not it was self...

    Linguistic analysis of the second amendment. Again.

    Found this article today: https://amp.theatlantic.com/amp/article/607186/ Essentially it calls out Scalia on his interpretation of historical language and says he got the individual part wrong in Heller. At first blush the historical analysis methodology seemed to cherry-pick how teens were...

    Fixing up the smelly

    I have two No 4's. One is a t-marked receiver someone thought was a great candidate for a .45 ACP conversion. The other is a CAI sporter. I have been wanting to restore the CAI since the day I got it, but with this new acquisition I had an expensive thought. Would it be worth it to swap the...

    Offset BUIS

    So I'm assessing all the crap I have accumulated for my AR's and I have decided to convert a rifle to 3-gun style optics and irons. But instead of investing in a new set like KAC, Dueck, and company, I was wondering if I could get offset rails that would hold my irons at the appropriate angle...

    Idaho legal definitionof school - campus carry related

    I was having a discussion with a fellow student who claimed it was legal to carry concealed firearms on campus. Now I have done some reading and my understanding of legalese is foggy at best, but I can't seem to find a statute either prohibiting on specifically college campus or including...

    Springfield M1A for under $900?

    So I'm looking through the pawn shops, not really looking for guns, and I see a Springfield M1A priced just on the null side of $900. So I ask to look at it and not that the manufacture is, in fact, Springfield and not some Norinco cheapo. I'm on the fence about making the leap, seeing as it's...

    4473 and state lines

    I have a prospective buyer for a firearm. I live in Washington and he lives 3 miles east in Idaho. I understand the ATF requires a transfer via FFL over state lines, but could I walk over to a FFL on the other side of the river and do the transfer there instead of running through two FFLs and...

    Which optic, red dot or magnified? SGL-31 and WASR-10

    I am in the process of "modernizing" (more optimizing) my two ak pattern rifles. I'm having difficulty deciding which one to leave as a "simple" rifle. The SGL is very high quality and it seems a shame to leave it as is. The WASR has a canted front sight and post '94 neuterings, most notably a...

    Do women hesitate when using a firearm for self defense?

    SO a long running debate between me and a dear friend is women's means of self defense. I'm on the side that would like to see more women carrying firearms. My friend believes that women should be more preferential to blades because they would hesitate if they were to use a projectile weapon and...

    Mossberg 590 feed issues

    I wanted a dedicated combat shotgun for pest duty (4 and 2 legged alike) and picked up a used 590 with an aftermarket pistol grip stock (which will be replaced by a standard stock for ergonomics reasons [COUGH*tang-safety8COUGH]). Knowing the shortcomings of the stock parts, namely the magazine...

    .22 lr suppressorsand barrel length

    Reading and looking around trying to optimize rifles chambered in .22 lr has brought me to the realization that the bullets are slowing down by the time they exit that 16" barrel on my non-NFA firearms. That being said, there are sub sonic loads that one can use if one seeks them out. My...

    SMLE No 4 MK1 vs MK2 stock?

    I'm finally getting down to finishing some of my restoration on a couple rifles and one of them happens to be a mystery No 4. I haven't taken the time to take it down yet to see if it's a 1 or 2 and I may not have time for a few days and I figured this would be faster. From all indications and...

    Thoughts on full auto and the Hughes amendment

    I understand that there is a possibility there could be a challenge to the legality of the Hughes amendment. I also understand that repealing the amendment is all but impossible due to public view of the status of MG's and also from some possible internal resistance from parties with vested...

    Different AK dustcover mounted rail, what do you think

    it's a little different than just a welded on 1913 rail on some AK cover, but I still wonder how consistent it would be for zero. Take a peek. http://www.onesourcetactical.com/kalashnikovriflescoperailtopcoverdoglegscoperailgen-2.aspx What do you gurus think would be the case?

    Saiga .308 complete makover

    Took the plunge, bought a Saiga .308 with a 16" bbl and no real estate extending beyond the front sight for threading a flash suppressor/compensator. So I've been thinking and looking around at what's available. I have two questions now. Option 1: Would it be possible to slide the front sight...

    M4 and reliability: Debunking the piston myth
