    Another C&R form 7CR question

    Consider yourself lucky! I was wondering why mine took so long! The ATF charged my CC the $30 on August 15th, and I literally just got the license in the mail yesterday! That's over 4 months (and three phone calls... well, more than that actually, so I guess I should say three RETURNED phone...

    Funny Until it Actually Happens

    When you do that and someone says "Hot?", you simply reply "Nah... just didn't take me long to look at it is all."* ;-) * Taken from an old joke about a blacksmith, a greenhorn and a horseshoe.

    Wired Article On Shooting

    Since he said it was a "rotary magazine," my first thought was a Ruger 10/22, but then I thought... no, those don't have any kick, and aren't heavy, either (at least mine doesn't/isn't). As a matter of fact, I haven't ever shot a .22LR that DOES kick, and you would certainly think that...

    Got a Dilemma -- Need Advice

    I don't live in SA, but around here (DFW area) there are several ranges, such as the one I haunt (The Shooters Club, Fort Worth) that will gladly store your guns for you for a very small fee (50 cents per day, $6/month or $55/year).

    Entire recruit class for Cobb county, GA fired

    It's a good thing they were weeded out now, otherwise they might wind up conspiring to wrap a bunch of powdered drywall gypsum into kilo packs and using them to bust people they don't like for smuggling cocaine. Oh, that's been done already. :evil:

    Invasion Scenario

    It won't happen... there's just not enough southern soldiers and armament to combat the north since the Yankee prez (gotta' be a Yankee, right? Or he'd be settin' up office in the Alamo!) will just play the cards he's got up his sleeves (bases loaded with personnel, planes, tanks and artillery...

    What stain, etc do you like most on your stocks when you refinish them?

    I've only used Tung Oil (Homer Formsby's brand) myself, but have had excellent results. Depending on weather and humidity, some coats can take longer to dry than others, but I have refinished the stocks on an old shotgun (Rem. model 11) and a rifle (Win. model 67A). I used low gloss on the...
