    Is Cobra firearms still in business?

    My cat got into the top of my closet and peed on a Jennings .25acp in a box. I found it some time later as a mess of white powder and rusted metallic bits. Ah, the days of idiotic purchases. They served the purpose of keeping the ignorant from doing stupid things. I think I got three rounds off...

    reasonable price, reliable conceal 9mm

    I was in a local gunstore+range Sunday on the day of the mass shooting at Greenwood Park Mall at around 1pm. Walked out around 2:30, delay due to NICS with a Taurus GC3. They had it on sale and there is a $25 rebate from Taurus. Final price with rebate is 239+ tax. I have great difficulty...

    Denver bans CCW in parks, buildings

    Briefly, now that the supreme court is a tad more constitutional leaning I expect a large swath of good results. I was highly concerned Kavanaugh and Barret were not what we were fed. I'm not wholly convinced but the recent rulings are a very good sign.

    New FFL Restrictions in latest bill - S.2938 - "Safer Communities Act"

    Guy Relford is an attorney who did an enormous job getting Indiana constitutional carry passed. I just missed most of his show on the "safer communities act" and the podcast won't be up for a month. You could send an email and ask for a link to his take on it. What I did hear he sounded a bit...

    Ever notice this about striker fired pistol trigger reviews?

    I can't say it's perfect but when I got the safety warranty repair done for a 7.5" Beretta Neos the trigger was much improved and as an added bonus the safety actually worked all the time. If you've not gotten yours fixed I'd recommend it.

    Indiana gun owners may be able to carry guns without a permit

    It is finally a win and I will do my best to reward those who worked so hard for it. Good 'ol Holcrumb sent his oath breaking lackey the head of the state police to get it squashed and that other oath breaker on the committee did their bidding but the legislature did an end run around them and...

    What's value of Taurus pt740

    New is under 250. The laser is almost as much if you got the fancy one and had it installed and bore sited. So under 500 or so.

    Blue Thread Locker

    Agree on this. Permatex does not hold as well. 242 is good for ferrous. 243 is somewhat resistant to oil contamination but you should use a degreaser. I prefer this as it will work with both ferrous and non-ferrous and does not need a primer with non-ferrous. It is however a bit more expensive...

    Antique or collectible ammo

    I stumbled on this site doing some research on some ammo a friend sent me that I thought might be more valuable than the already exorbitant price online and found this site. After scrolling through page after page of "Out of Stock" I found two boxes of Montgomery Wards Hawthorne .22lr and three...

    Sand or bead media before parkerizing?

    There is a milspec on parkerizing and it should give you the thickness variations for a large list of variables. I could not find an electronic copy on the dod server for those so it's probably obsolete. You might find it at a gunshow.

    Bolt action solvent/lube kit

    Scroll down for Brownells offering. I've used that for the lugs and Ed's Red for the rest of the gun. On a persnickety .22lr bolt action I used the factory grease for an Epson printer meant for the bar the print head road on. It is high temp and is quite remarkable in keeping the rifle running...

    What is the next major advancement for pistols?

    The military has never embraced it. They did test the concept. Hydrogen is out as it embrittles metal. This guy was assassinated for providing such technology to the Iraqis. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerald_Bull

    What is the next major advancement for pistols?

    .223 Timbs is a 7.62 x 25 that uses as standard .223 bullet in a sabot. It failed to gain traction even though it was rather remarkable. https://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2017/08/11/223-timbs-brief-history/

    What is the next major advancement for pistols?

    Weapons sighting systems will improve. I would very much like a heads up display of where my round will go. I expect phones to continue to evolve to a pair of glasses that provide all those functions and more. While google led the way I don't see them being relevant in that area in the future...

    Does changing the barrel on a bolt action also change the chamber?

    This shows how to chamber a new barrel. There are other videos that show how to install them. The barrel appears to have all of the other machine work done, threads cut, etc. There are other videos that show screwing on the barrel and verifying it is correctly done.

    Have you ever been shot?

    Yes, when I was a kid, no injury they just rained buckshot down on us. Yes, in the 1990s when some dumb*ss shot a shotgun in the air on new years. I have been hit by exploding cruffler or bits of his rifle, not sure which as some cruffler's blood may smell like Ed's Red. He did have a 4" chunk...

    Thinking of another .22...

    I saw this in another thread it is alleged to have a very good trigger. I would love to have the SW-22 Victory, there are numerous barrel and custom options for it. I have a 7.5" Neos DLX, no longer made which has had a recall applied and the safety issue fixed. It has a much improved trigger...
