I now know more about Kerry than I ever did, although I've been aware of him for quite a few years. Everything I know indicates that he's a phony through and through. He played at being a Senator, missing a whole lot of the meetings of the committees he sat on. When he made meetings he...

I talked to staff at Republican WhipTom Delay's office, Speaker Of The House Dennis Hastert's office, and Senate Majority Leaders Bill Frist's office. A couple of the staffers knew exactly what I was talking about and what the stakes are in the Presidential Election. One said, "We're getting...

They are the Ingram design that came four guns before the MAC 10. I much prefer the M6 to the MAC. It has a fixed wood stock, a longer barrel and better sights, to name just three points of preference. Some also have the semi and full controlled by the trigger. Pull a little and shoot...

I was able to get out and shoot my Madsen M50 last week. I was shooting steel and the set was five targets on each side with a stop plate in the middle. I shot against a handgunner a few times and beat them easily. I think the longer sight radius of the SMG and the peep sight made the...

What was the first powder used to make M1 Garand loads? I can't find the reference in my books, and my reloading manuals have gone on walkabout. Anyone know where I should look for this?

One of the things John Adams said the 4th should be celebrated with was guns. We tried to do him proud yesterday, July 3. There were long guns from single-shot .22s to a 470 double rifle to a blackpowder cannon. Handguns included Smith M18, M41, M28, M610, plus assorted Colt autos of the...

What about two tone Smith revolvers? I have a Smith 38 with the alloy frame but a stainless cylinder. I like oddball guns, and this one qualifies. What do you folks think?

If you had the cash in hand which shotgun would you buy right now, no product research, no discussions with your significant other? I'd buy a Ruger Red Label 28 gauge. I have most other fronts covered, and I just want one of the Rugers.

If you walked into a gun shop with cash what revolver would you grab right now? I'd snatch up a Smith 657, especially if it was a long-barreled one. Second choice would be a nickled M57, any barrel length. I am on a .41 Mag binge. What would you go after?

Are most members of TFL specialists when it comes to guns, or generalists? I am a generalist. If it shoots and isn't made by Weatherby I'm interested in it. (Never could stand Weatherby styling.) I shoot pistol, rifle and subgun most often, but go out and miss some clay birds now and then...

Anyone got one of these? I've handled several and like the pistol gripped versions best. A friend has a short-barrelled, straight stocked job and I got to watch him hunt birds with it for a couple of hours one afternoon. It made my used Italian 20 gauge OU feel a little like a two by four...

I've heard Remington will be coming out with two 1100s in 16 gauge next year. Both field guns one has a wooden stock and blued barrel and the other is a synthetic and matte black gun. Will anyone be interested in these?

On another forum folks are talking about the best rate of fire for subguns. People who shoot subgun matches seem to be most satisfied with rates of around 600 rpm. Those who have "seen the elephant," suggest 900 to 1000 rpm is better because three round bursts don't take so long and will...

I see that some posters have shot on the range at the NRA Headquarters in VA. How is it to shoot there? Is it difficult to get a spot? How is the range design? How much does it cost to book an hour of range time? Discounts for NRA members? I plan to get there someday and am curious...

How tough and how expensive would it be to assemble an M1A in .250 Savage? The Savage case has the same head size as the .308, so the bolt ought to work. It should work through the magazine too. How much would it cost to put a .250 barrel on an M1A action? Every few years I start...

I got my El Paso Saddlery No. 88 "Street Combat" holster a while ago. Today I finally tried my Smith Model 58 in it and found it fits well. The No. 88 is a big holser, almost all of the gun is covered, except the grip. It is plain black, lined, with the El Paso trademark and MADE IN TEXAS...

Has anyone handled or shot the new Ruger side by side? I was at a large store with a lot of guns displayed last weekend and didn't see one. Are they on the shelves anywhere yet?

I found a Glock I like on a recent visit to a MG gunsmith. He is a manufacturer and suppresses rifles and converts pistols to FA fire. He had a 9mm Glock (I think a 17) that he'd converted to FA with a block on the back of the slide. (They are only for sale to MG Dealers or Police Depts, darn...

I was at a Turkey Shoot this weekend and saw a type of shotgun competition I'd never seen before. It was run with a club over and under shotgun. The competitor first shot a pepper popper from the hip. If he connected, it fell and threw a clay target as it dropped. The second barrel was...

It's this weekend outside Mt. Horeb. Anyone going?
