    Investment cast recievers ?

    I was doing some research reading this weekend and ran across a statement I was unaware of at min and critical of for lack of proof, but it may be entirely valid. The statement was basically: The post 1964 model 70 Winchesters were investment cast......and that the barrels had been broached...

    Help me ID a BRNO

    Some may have read I'm on a quest for a new 7mm. In my gun shop tours today I finally found something of interest. My question is what did I find? It is a commercial BRNO in 7x64. Ok I got both of those down, but this is what puzzles me. It clearly has the BRNO banner on it, but is marked...

    Letter from my Congressman

    Let Sleeping Laws Die by Senator Larry Craig If a law is ineffective, should we make a special effort to keep it alive, or just let it die? Minus all the shouting and symbolism, that's exactly the question Congress faced about renewing the ban on some "assault weapons," which expired on...

    Opinion Polls

    I routinely see opinion polls posted, which we rush to vote on. Recently its been about the AWB, most of the time it is 2nd Amendment related. While I am not condemning the practice I wonder if we aren't just spinning our collective wheels. My point is why aren't we attacking the validity of...

    Big Bores

    Burned out on all the roundtable/political rodeo stuff and decided to get back to basics and things that interest me more. GUNS, specifically big bore rifles. So what have ya got, what do ya want. Some whys and details should be required to keep our interest up. Range reports are good to, so is...

    NEw York Times rant

    Just ran across this jewel: NEW YORK (Reuters) - The United States should abolish its electoral college because it creates the possibility that the president will be a candidate who loses the popular vote, the New York Times said on Sunday. The electoral college "thwarts the will of the...

    AWB and manufacturers

    We are a few weeks away from the AWB ending and I haven't seen any real information from any of the manufacturers. What I would like to know is I see a lot of LEO only guns still, and not a word on any change. I know the short barreled stuff is still going to be off limits, but has anyone...

    Finiky Glock 34

    Some general background my Glock 34 I bought new and it has been fussy and jammed from day one. I started with Federal 147 grain American Eagle and it took a distinct dislike to this this ammo. I called Glock and they sent me mag followers which I changed, and around the same time changed to...

    S&W 657, 41 mag

    I just ran across a S&W 657, 41 mag that I can pick up for around $200. Not brand new certainly, but in good condition. My dealer knows I am a 41 fan, but he also knows this represents just about everything I dislike in a revolver, hence the good price. What I don't like: Stainless, crush fit...

    What is it about Bears?

    I can't figure out whenever there is a thread about bears being shoot the immediate default seems to be get out a Howitzer. These are flesh and blood creatures that range from a little over 100 lbs for a small blacky to 1600 lbs for a big Alaskan brown. In most contexts bears in the lower 48...

    Remington 700

    I popped into a gunstore today that I don't frequent too often cause I don't like the drive and saw some very nice rifles. One in particular caught my eye a old Remington 700 in 243 WInchester. How old I am not sure but the checkering was real not stamped which was a clue, and the magazine plate...

    "BIG" disappointment

    I have been in a buy a rifle mode for a month or so, headed to the local sporting goods store today just to have a look and maybe drop down some hard earned dollars........YEAH RIGHT First I was looking for a 243 Winchester, or a 6mm Remington and would have considered looking at a 243 WSSM...

    243 wssm

    I have been doing some readings on 243 cartridges of late, as something in that caliber is targeted for my gun rack. I had pretty much had this narrowed down to a 243 Winchester or a 6MM Remington. I had given the nod to the 6mm Remington by a very close margin as it seems to be easier to get...

    is there a window to buy ????????

    Does events in Congress yesterday mean there will be a window of opportunity to buy some legal weapons that have been banned for years? Why cause I figure it might be a very short window of chance to get something interesting. Like...

    Craig and Hatch

    Being an Idaho resident, Larry Craig did us proud today. Orrin Hatch showed the quality of his metal also. Craig has my vote in any election. Fienswine and Boxer's behavior make me want to see nuclear weapons tests restarted in Nevada to make Las vegas beach front property.
