    Non-legal restrictions on products

    One thing that has always bothered me greatly is companies that restrict a product to governmental sales when there is no legal requirement for them to do so. I was just at XS Sight’s website and noticed that they restrict the sale of their Glass Assault Tool to LE/Mil. Now I have absolutely...

    A Modern BP Self-Defense Revolver

    Political Backlash I actually thought of something along these lines when I was 19 as a substitute for a modern pistol until I turned 21. Thinking about it now, I wonder if a pistol like this being manufactured (In volume, as a production item) would create unwanted attention to this...

    Erratic Velocities

    I don't have any #2 right now, but I do have TiteGroup which worked the best of all the powders I tested a few years ago finding the best load for very light 38 Special target loads. I think I'll give that a whirl.

    Erratic Velocities

    I just got my wife a S&W 632 in 327 federal magnum which I really like. The 115 grain golddots are getting 1345 fps over my chronograph. I look at it like a 9 mm which fits into a J frame (along with five more of its buddies :D). The problem I’m having though, is that I’m trying to make...

    Cleaning at the range?

    I just inherited a CVA Magbolt 150 in very good shape and I want to try the primitive weapons season this year. I have taken it to the range once before and I have noticed that after only a few shots it becomes hard to load. I have read that it is advisable to clean a muzzleloader between...

    Glock Carbine

    There have been rumors about a Glock carbine for decades. Over the years, people “in the know” have claimed to have seen a prototype. My guess (no, I have no inside info) is that they tested a prototype years ago, and simply decided that while it was a neat little product, for them, it...

    Solid Copper Shot

    The point wouldn't be to compete with steel in terms of price, but with the other more expensive non-toxic alternatives.

    Solid Copper Shot

    I have an 18" cylinder bore barrel for my 870 that I fired a box of Remington Express Steel loads through plinking shortly after I got it. These shells were purchased in 2002, and there were score lines visible in the bore after they were fired. I will be the first to admit that these "score...

    Solid Copper Shot

    First and foremost, is the issue of steel ruining barrels (or at least score the bore). Also, steel is only 69.2% as dense as lead whereas copper is 78.8% as dense as lead. So, that's 9.6% improvement. Considering the amount of money people in this field pay for for just a few percent...

    Solid Copper Shot

    Does anyone know why non-toxic shot shells aren’t offered with solid copper shot? Seems to me that if it’s good enough to be a (kinda) substitute for rifle bullets, why not for shot? I realize that an ounce or two of copper would be relatively expensive, but more than bismuth or Hevi-Shot...

    State of GA WMA's allow you to place a stand the day before and you have to remove it no later than noon the day after for big game hunts.

    Tree stand security

    I just got a new climber stand and was wondering about securing my stand with a cable lock. I do realize that any locking device can be cut off with something like a battery powered angle grinder, but I do not plan to leave the stand locked to a tree for extended periods. I am mostly concerned...

    NRA contact for legislative proposal

    I am planning on contacting the NRA about a legislative proposal I have, and was wondering if anyone knows who best to contact with my idea. I don’t want it to end up in a pile of letters that don’t get to the right person since I really think this could have legs. Here is: It’s no secret...

    NFA Barrel Length Restriction

    I have always wondered how the barrel length restriction in the NFA was determined. Did they look at laws in other countries or states, or did was 18” the shortest barrel length offered commercially at the time? I know Winchester made 1894 carbines with 14 inch barrels. How was it decided...

    Glock 21 Slide Problem

    I have replaced both the firing pin and the safety plunger already. This slide is from pretty early on, 5 digit S/N and the slide originally had the 90 deg. cut on the ejection port (it was sent back to be updated by the original owner). I did try shortening the tip of the firing pin, but when...
