Exactly. Magpul did the best thing they could to protest the laws, they left...with all the taxes they were paying. To suggest that entire families uproot because of new gun laws, is quite another thing. As someone said above...soon there will be nowhere else to go.

And that there's the problem. Being a Colorado native and a 75 year old, I think I'll just make my stand here. My great grandfather and his two brothers first set foot in Colorado in 1888 (from Kentucky). Not giving up yet, this is home.

Skeet requires a two shot gun (doubles at every station). Maybe trap?

Word we got was Polis is readying for a presidential bid, and thinks this will kill his chances. Not to worry, though, it will come up again next session.

It's a single action revolver.

Bring back memories of a great hunt in Kansas in the 80s. There were about 12-15 of us hunting. Most of the guys used it as an excuse for lots of day drinking. Me and my buddies Pat and Mike Rooney (twins) decided that the beer could wait until we were done. We shot most of the full limits...

Although I have other weapons for home defense, the one gun I'm best with is my Citori.

Yes. I have my granddad's m90 Winchester, shorts only. My great grandfather bought seven of them in about 1921, from Sears Roebuck, one for each of his sons. The reported price was $3.95 each. All are gone now except the one I have. I shot it a lot in my teens, but it's getting rickety, so...

Had several, all in one day, on a pronghorn hunt with my newly built 25-06 on a 1903 action. First with my handloads, and then with two brands of factory loads I borrowed. The delays were maybe 2-4 seconds. It was a frustrating day because I saw the biggest buck I've ever seen, and...

My dad used those primers in the 60s. They weren't corrosive.

This is a pic from a couple years ago. There is nicer figure on the opposite side.

I built my 1903 25-06 around the early 80s. Used a never barreled Springfield action, Douglas barrel, etc. The late Jack Bayuk did all the metalwork and I did the stock. I found a French walnut blank and took it to the Trinidad State Junior College gunsmithing school and had the instructor, a...

This one started off as off topic, and is now drifting into other areas. Closed.

Sorry, this is off topic.

Those were stupid. Unless you're Ute, Navajo, Cheyenne, or Apache, you're probably not a native. For the record, I was born in Colorado. Likewise, so were my father and grandfather.
