I was cleaning and rearranging my ammo storage when I found a lot of 44 mag ammo I forgot I had. (Senility is fun - you get to wrap your own Christmas presents and they still are a surprise!) I sold my Blackhawk and need another toy to use up the ammo. It will be a toy to make lots of noise and...

I watched a CNN program on the Rem 700 last night about the number of people that have been killed or injured by the problem with the 700 safety and discharges. I only have one 700 in 308 with the sniper stock and barrel. Has anyone had any problems with discharges when the safety has been...

Since we are becoming a kindler, gentler, sit around the campfire and sing and hug, I'm starting a campaign to ban all cars.;) I wonder how that will play out when the tree-huggers have to walk to work each day. Think how much physical exercise we will get walking 20 miles to work. We will...

Does anyone know the real reason why the ATA moved the Grand American Trapshoot from Vandalia, Ohio to the oh-so-gun-friendly state of Illinois? I'm from PA and used to go to this grand event every August when it was in Ohio. I haven't been to Sparta, Illinois since they moved. I haven't been...

I am amazed at the posts on every forum concerning Ruger and how they are the greatest thing that has ever hit the firearm world. I'm not knocking Ruger; they make a good, functional product for the money. I have a Mark III Competition 22 pistol that has a very good trigger and is capable of far...

I would like to buy a new S&W 43C, 22lr, j-frame, double-action only revolver. Can someone tell me why S&W introduces models, generates interest, and then never produces the model. I think the market would be great for a 22lr like this, but what do I know, as usual. -=BDD=-

I didn't make it to the Grand this year but I understand there was some controversy with Frank Rively being thrown out. If you can explain to me what happened in a thousand words or less, I'd appreciate it. Thanks in advance! -=BDD=-

I've been carrying a 640 in my front pants pocket for a really long time. My only complaint is its weight. I'm going to get a 642 soon and I have not heard too many good things about the lock on the left side. Is there a work around for this that everybody has agreed is the best way to go. Any...

I thought I read that someone was making a reproduction of the Winchester model 62 pump 22. I'm looking for a new toy and want to try the 62 pump action 22. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. -=BDD=-

I recently picked up a new 700P in 308. I understand the purpose behind the all "Black Rifle" thing, but the finish on the 700P reminds me of popcorn ceiling plaster. It appears to be just about as durable. The finish on the fiberglass stock is even rougher and seems to be less durable. I'm...

I imagine this topic has been beat to death, but I just had to ask. I have a new 700P in 308 and have read so many different barrel breakin techniques from Gale McMillan's "do nothing except blow the big chunks out" to Sniperhide's "shoot once, scrub 116 strokes, shoot again, scrub 232 strokes...

I'm putting together a new rifle and have decided to use Badger rings and rails on it. Who has the best price on these on the net? Or, is there anything comparable or better in your opinion? -=BDD=-

Xbox, GameCube, or Playstaion 2? My 13 year old daughter is bugging me for a new gaming system. Other than my utter despise of Gates and the crap he puts out, I am open to suggestions on what is the hot system these days. I keep hearing that all of her friends have Playstation 2, but that is...

For all of the Sig lovers on the board - I bought a new 220 stainless today. This is my first Sig and I'm wondering if the heavy trigger pull (both single and double action) will lighten up after a few hundred rounds go through it? I carry a Glock 30 and this is a big, big difference in trigger...

Let me see if I have this straight in my mind. I'm supposed to continue with the boycott of S&W because of the deal it made under previous ownership with the devil (Klinton). The ultimate result of this is to drive one of the oldest American gun makers out of business. This will really make the...

I tried posting this on a couple of other forums with no luck. I have this insane desire for a 629 3". Don't know why, maybe it's a need for a lot of noise and a bright flash. Can someone tell me the difference between the 629 Packer and the 629 Backpacker? Are there any other variations...

As I was walking through our local supermarket today, there he was. You couldn't mistake him; he was all of 21 years, 6 hours old. He must have been at least 6 foot, 19 inches tall and weighed at least 104 pounds (only because he was carrying a bag of sakrete - useful for patching all the...

Some TFL'ers say that Glock folks are thin-skinned when it comes to criticism of Glocks. Does anyone care to explain why they think that Glocks are not the best out-of-the-box defensive pistol available. Oops, wait till I put on my thick-skin suit. -=BDD=-

As I was visiting the den of Ali Baba (my friendly local firearms dealer) who was conspiring with Mrs. Ali Baba (about the size of forty thieves), I inquired about the cost of a new Sig 220 Stainless. I had read that the MSRP was going to be in the mid $800 range. When the head thief quoted me...

After reading about the new SIG 220 stainless, my collection of 45's is crying "When can we get a new brother?" Has anyone seen or heard of when this particular pistol is going to hit the market? Any comments on the SIG 220 in general?
