Anyone see the linked French 30'06 from Natchez (www.natchezss.com)? Looks like (from the photo) circa 1949. Anyone know anything about this stuff? Safe for my M1 Garand?

I decided to go in for a new CMP stock set, as I plan on having my rifle re-parkerized later this year, after shooting the hell out of it. I expected a several month wait for the stock, but it only took about a month to come in. I was also suprised that CMP required a signature for delivery of...

Anyone try this stuff? http://www.sportsmansguide.com/cb/cb.asp?a=271376

I wanted to say something about the "scary red dot" theory. In my opinion, and I admit that I am just a guy in his pajamas in the basement, is that this holds even less water than the "sound of the 12 ga pump being racked" theory. You can't see a laser unless a) it is foggy/smoky or b) you...

Lee: BINGO! I added a 2 shot extension tube. I had to drill out the punched in tabs that kept the plastic end cap in place. The result is not pretty, but seems to work.

So, because the agency whose job it is to do a draft unpacks the gear and checks it every now and then, that means we're about to get one? That's like saying that testing tornado sirens causes tornadoes!

Are you serious? A Israeli Arab has the right to own property, vote, practice Islam or Christianity, serve in the Knesset. Even under your scarecrow of the moment, Sharon. Please enumerate the rights that anyone other than Saddam and his minions had in Baathist Iraq. Stop drinking the...

Are you serious? The guy was executed sooner rather than later to try to minimize the unrest from the pro-Saddam Iraqis. Bush can't institute a draft--that would take an act of Congress. As in a law, which would have to pass both houses. Please repeat after me: "Ain't. Gonna. Happen."

Model rocket guys?

To borrow a phrase from the Iraqis, "ULULULULULULULULU!!!"

How is the magazine tube on a Remington 870 (Express) attached to the receiver? Is it user-replaceable, or does it have to be soldered or something by a gunsmith?

Another comment--lasers make for inconsistent training. Jeff Cooper (MHRIP) liked to say that when shooting for your life, "front sight, squeeze". If you train to quickly raise your firearm to eye level, so that it points naturally and you develop "muscle memory", you can shoot quickly and...

Re: lasers in the dark If it is too dark to see your iron sights, how do you know what you are shooting at? Wouldn't it be better to have a flashlight mounted on the accessory rail? You can get a sight picture with a flashlight.

Hi, Suppose I would like to convert one of my 1911's from a full length to a 4" ("Commander") length gun. 1) Does anyone sell the whole top end for a reasonable price? 2) Should I order one from the OEM, or should I have my local smith build one from a slide and parts? 2) Who do you...
