USS Johnston Also, while not in a movie, or tv show, but rather a history channel special on the USS Johnston vs the main Japanese during WW II, this was literally a big gun battle that had me standing on my toes because of the shear balls of steel that Cmdr. Evans had for fighting...

True romance Not sure if anybody mentioned True Romance yet, but there are at least two decent gunfights in the movie. The first was when the Christian Slater character has it out with a pimp, and the second was toward the end with a free for all between the cops, mercenaries, Italian hitmen...

BTW. While I certainly do not approve of the cartoon Elmer Fudd's firearms practices, I certainly would not mind having his shotgun. :evil: Where else except a cartoon can you get a side-by-side, double barrel shotgun, that you can also pump the fore-end like a slide action, and never reload...

The Elmer Fudd I know I understand the OP's intent on describing a type of personality, but I have to disagree with the term "Elmer Fudd" To me, Elmer Fudd is the feeble minded nemesis of Bugs Bunny/Daffy Duck. He's the one that exercises absolutely no trigger/muzzle discipline, or let alone...

CCI Stingers Finally, got my shipment of CCI Stingers. Placed an order for 2 bricks from Cabela's back in December 2009, and almost 5 months to the day, I finally got them in. Plus two of those "free" dry boxes. Now, talk about vicious circle. Knowing what I know now about the delays and...

Got both the standard and finger-groove grips for my 642 the other day, and have to say that the standard grips seem to have a better fit and finish than the finger-groove model. Don't get me wrong, I really want to like the finger-groove model, they do feel good in the hand, but there are just...

HK is not there because "you suck and we hate you":D

The one that's pointed at me in anger.

The late great Johnny Cash wrote a few songs about this issue, and none of them ended well.

Have had a few orders with them and no problems. Once, an item was back-ordered, but later shipped as scheduled. Definitely not to be compared to horrible venders like BOTACH.

Another plus about the T-grip/service stock combo is that's it's less grabby on your cloths, or if you choose, the insides of your pocket. And like everyone else as mentioned, this set-up gives your j-frame that uber-cool retro look.

1858 Thanks for posting the pics. Now that it's on the internet, and there are pictures, it really must be true.:D All kidding aside, it really doesn't matter if the Mini is self-cleaning or not. Mine has never jammed on me, hits what I aim at, and I'm happy with what it is. Cleaning...

Spoke to my friend, and here's the link from Wikipedia that he was refering to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mini-14 Under "DESIGN" it states: Designed by L. James Sullivan[3] and William B. Ruger, the rifle employs an investment cast, heat-treated receiver and a version of the Garand...

BTW, wasn't the original Armalite M-16 also billed as self-cleaning, and as such, they were issued without any cleaning kits? It's common knowledge where that went. With that said, I'm going to tell my friend that the Mini has some self-cleaning attributes (loose tolerences where the op...

My bad, I meant to say the operating rod on the Mini, as you described. For whatever reason the correct term eluded me when I was writing the response. I was tempted to say that "thingy that fits over the gas nozzle that's also attached to the charging handle.":) BTW. The SKS operates on a...

Actually, when I was pondering this question, I had my SKS in mind, when trying to detrmine if after firing the same amount of rounds, which one was less dirty. Yes, it's apples vs oranges, because the SKS uses a piston rod to push back the bolt, while the Mini-14 blows gas right into...

Hi All, First off, while I do happen to know a lot about firearms, I admit that there's even more that I don't know. So, long story short, my firend stumped me with the question of why the Ruger Mini-14 is self-cleaning? His reference was from Wikipedia that quotes: "the rifle employs...

2 more cents .... First off, I actually agree that not all plastics are equal, and I do apologize for not narrowing things down a bit, but I believe the OP was how plastic could effect real life firearms situations (nothing specific). Well here's two more cents that I have that turns me off...

Polymer Housing Torture Test This is a video from Gunblast.com comparing the original metal trigger housing of the Ruger 10/22 vs. the new plastic one with a torture test that starts about 1:30 minutes into the video. http://www.gunblast.com/images/Ruger-1022/Ruger-1022-HI.wmv It speaks...

Well, I suppose not, but every time there is a design change (for better or worse), there are always misgivings. I guess it's my turn to pick on Ruger today, but one problem that may arise is aftermarket parts for the Mini-14 with synthetic stock. The synthetic stock version has the "metal...
