In my home state, the Texas State Rifle Association, seems to be an effective organization and viewed positively. It seems like there is a strong push to rush passing gun control laws in other states right now. My thought is that helping some of those states could turn the tide in our favor...

I've donated to the TSRA, NRA, NRA-ILA, NRA-PVF, etc. Would it be benificial to join or donate to other state NRA assoiciated organizations in key battleground states?

Texas State Rifle Association(TSRA) might have some information or a person to contact on their website.

Shooting Times Guide to Long Range Magazine did a six way accuracy test with budget rifles. They used three examples of each gun and three different loads with three different shooters. Savage placed last in overall accuracy. They would have been middle of the pack except all three Savages had...

I think it was Oklahoma that just got open carry. Does the Dallas mayor have any power. I thought all Texas gun laws were on state level. I'm sure he could still mess with the Dallas gun shows.

Did Walmart actually suspend ammo or was this rumors started by lower level employees not knowing why there was no more ammo coming in to restock?

I sent two prior to finding the Ruger link. I got fast responses from both stating that they would respond ASAP. No responses from any of the Ruger ones even to the same reps. I'm guessing they received it but recognized it as a mass chain email and didn't respond the same as the more personal...

I found what appeared to be an unissued, all number matching, 1895 dated Mauser on their rack. It had a zip tie holding the bolt shut. I asked a sales guy if I could work the bolt and inspect the bore. He pulled out a pocket knife and pryed with the backside of his knife on the wood until it cut...

I wasn't alive when it happened so I have no first hand experience. But, I do have an old Life Magazine from August 12, 1966 that has an article on Charles Whitman. It seems like they were pointing towards him being a troubled young man with mental health issues. A university psychiatrist is...

I've used a rubber slip fit recoil pad on mine for bench shooting. I think it is a limbsaver brand. Makes a big difference on recoil. I remove it when not in use. The added LOP doesn't bother me.

1895 Chileno Mauser.

Try Gibsons Outpost. I think its off HWY 80 and Lawson road exit. But be warned I've heard of some people having trouble out of the owners/employees. I have been once and didn't have any trouble.

Ray's Hardware & Sporting Goods in Dallas has a good gun selection.

My Ruger Single-Six .32 H&R Magnum with 6.5" barrel. It's my woods and plinking gun.

I'm just starting to research triggers. The Timney is high on my list as I've been considering one on my AR. I regret not taking photos while I had it apart, but I was eager to get it to the range. I'm going to guess lathe turned original. About the first two inches are unturned with a serial...

Thanks for the replies. I went ahead and bought it last night. I brought it home and a quick wipe down cleaning turned into several hours and basicly a full teardown and scrubbing. Under the scope mount, I found a crown over a large B and smaller ABL. The date looks like 1952, the scope...

I'm looking at a used Mauser at the local gun store. It's listed as an FN Sporter .30-06. I'm guessing it's a commercial model since I don't see a crest but it does have scope mounts covering the reciever. The markings are Fab Nat. D'armes de guerre Herstal-Belgique serial number on action and...

My local outdoor public range makes you buy a membership. I think it was a one time $10 fee. They go over the rules and issue you a range card. It's been so long ago I don't remember what information was required. When you go to the range you just give them your range card. They put it on a...

I can't imagine that many UPS employees would risk a home burglary or home invasion. It would seem much easier for them to steal packages enroute or reroute them to another address. It's probably harder to do now that there is more computer tracking, but I remember how easy it would have...

Any chance you are confusing the 300 meter battle zero and the 100 meter setting? My norinco sks has a rearmost setting for use as a battle zero. One notch forward is the 100 meter setting.
