    Remington No. 4 revolver, what ammo does this take?

    So this is the revolver we found in my grandmother's bottom drawer after her death. It's a Remington No. 4 revolver. No caliber is marked, but it's a centerfire. I read that this gun was made in both .38 and .41. But what ammo will fit it? In .38, there is: .38 S&W .38 Long...

    Gun rights status of Washington State and Oregon?

    Since my current state did something stupid, moving is on the table. How are WA and OR with regard to the following: Private sales without background check Standard cap magazines Few CCW restrictions (eg. can't carry in any gathering of over 30 people, etc.) No AWB No registration...

    I am looking into forming an ammo manufacturing company. $ requirements?

    And by "manufacturing" I mean not buying components and assembling them, I mean making the cases and bullets themselves, from base metal components. This means a need for serious heavy equipment. What kind of $ investment are we talking about here? Investors may be involved. The only place...

    If your state passed new terrible gun laws, would you move or stay and fight?

    My state is on the verge of doing something stupid. I'm considering selling the house and moving if it passes. Has anyone else done the same thing?

    What movies/tv shows portray civilian gun ownership as totally normal?

    What I'm talking about is a movie/tv show where having and using firearms is just a normal part of life, not related to the main story at all. That is, the characters are shown as owning firearms for recreation and defense, but the guns are never used for a story-related purpose (shooting the...

    Buddhists cling to guns and religion, too!

    As promised, I made this image. Comments? Of course, I don't hunt, as that would violate ahimsa. But I do take an interest in defending my loved ones.

    Want to be able to buy new full autos again? Read this.

    There's a decent chance that the economic situation is only going to get worse, and that Our Benevolent Masters are going to have another bailout bill put in front of them, and it's going to pass. Now. There was a whole bunch of pork added onto the bill before it passed. Stuff like...

    Some excellent pictures of the Olympic shotgun events.

    So, how many "assault weapons" are out there?

    I'd like closer to real numbers. The BATFE posts numbers of rifles from manufacturers each year, and I know that some mfrs. only make "assault weapons", but they don't break them down by type. Anyone have a different and better way of counting? For this discussion, military style semi-auto...

    Does carrying a gun make you more likely to help strangers?

    And the converse - would not being able to carry a gun make you less likely to help strangers? Me, I consider myself more likely to help out strangers, because I know that I have the option to defend myself effectively.

    If you were to magically add a RKBA to some country´s constitution, which one?

    Say that you could instantly with the wave of a magic legislative wand add the a US-style 2nd Amendment to any country´s set of laws. Which country would it be and why? I would actually pick Russia, because they´ve been under the boot of the State for so long they could use some real freedom.

    Can one make FRAG-12 type shells without registering them?

    So a FRAG-12 is basically a small 12ga shotgun-launched grenade. As long as they contain less than 1/4oz of explosive charge per the law, could one make them at home and not have to register them as DDs? 7g of explosive is a lot of boom. Would they be classified not as DDs but as AP...

    Did the US write most of Europe's gun laws after WWII?

    I was wondering whether the current attitudes towards guns in Europe are a result of two things: -the US and Allies rewriting the gun laws after WWII -the US and Allies killing off most of the people of Europe that LIKED guns, as they joined the army. I can't find any evidence for this in...

    To the NRA from your newest member: I'm sorry.

    I thought that you guys were trying to derail the Heller case out of spite or political motivations. I was upset about this and joined GOA whose rhetoric was less compromising. Now I see how narrow it was, and that one of the assents wasn't even on the court when Heller was coming up, I can...

    Alan Gura (Heller lawyer) on NPR

    http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=91975515 Gura won't make any friends here with his interview ("sensible gun laws"), but this interview is what is going in front of the enemy.

    How much can you modify a NFA machinegun?

    First: "Hi, Agent Schmuckatelli!" I have no intention of making any modifications to any machineguns, nor do I own any. I was just hearing about some kerfuffle about someone taking a cheap NFA registered weapon like a MAC and putting the serial number plate on a BAR or something, making the...
