I have some 7.62x39 rounds, which according to a headstamp reference site, are of Russian manufacture, circa 1954. Attached are pictures of the packaging, rounds, and headstamp. The bullets strongly attract a magnet. Any additional insight on the nature of these rounds would be much...

In two weeks, I will be traveling in and through the UK, and to points in continental Europe. I would like to carry a knife. I own a knife manufactured to conform to the legal restrictions in the UK. It is my understanding, however, that carrying a knife for purposes of self-defense, even if...

It's nice to see, that even with activist groups having hundreds at the ready to post the approved narrative across discussion boards on strategically selected sites, a poll, conducted with some effort put toward the prevention of fraudulent votes, reflects well upon the nation's reason. Now if...

Of course they weren't sincere about getting "the other side." It's NPR. If they were sincere, they'd have next called GOA, then JPFO. Wouldn't that have been rich? The testimony of a gun-toting, pro-Second Amendment, knows what "Never Again" really means Jew, carried into the homes and cars...

I followed week-old link from Slickguns to CTD for a handgun that had piqued my interest. It led to a CTD page. Nothing had changed, except in place of where the price would be displayed, there was a creepy "Cheaper Than Dirt does not sell firearms" message, and the "Add to Cart" button was...

I was pleasantly surprised to see my local Wal-Mart selling a variety of Blackhawk! AR-15 accessories. This was weeks ago, though. I'll stop by this morning, to see if such items have been pulled from their pegs.

I recently received a large quantity of Lake City 30 Carbine brass. It is all headstamped 52. I like to know if anyone is aware if I need be concerned with brass of this vintage and if it needs any additional special handling. It was sold unfired and deprimed. The primer pockets are not...

cpt-t: What specific 110gr JSPs and JHPs do you use?

I have a milled receiver Norinco MAK-90, which has sat in the back corner of the safe, stockless, for several years, after the thumbhole stock it was imported with cracked, and I discovered that the angle-cut rear end of the receiver was not conducive to easy stock replacement. I recently...

What a shame. Up until now, I haven't been able to take issue with anything Ben Stein has said, exclusive of this acting roles. Stein is a Jew (as am I, and the following is not based in anti-Semitism of any kind.) American Jews all too frequently cop an anti attitude, even when otherwise of...

The act of "bitching" requires are fair amount of vocabulary and grammar. It might make sense to make the best use of both as one can.

Actually, the two words have tangentially opposite meanings. One flaunts something one has high regard for, while one flouts that for which one has disdain. See flaunt.

I must admit, when I hear of this or that murderous rampage, I contemplate purchase of the firearm used. Not because I wish the celebrate or commemorate the event, of course; I fear the banning of the tool used. I am glad I supressed this urge with regards to the shooting spree around...

I handled a lightly used Dan Wesson CBOB in 45 a few weeks ago. I got a little weak in the knees, I must admit. At the same dealer, I handled a used Razorback. Sadly, both are now gone. I plan on getting one or the other, in 10mm, soon. If I opt for the Razorback, it will get the bobtail...

Pardon my lack of patience, but my answer would be analogous to a broad-spectrum antibiotic: the law only inhibits the conduct of the law-abiding. The criminals will bob the barrels of their shotguns to lengths of their hearts content, and a short barrel will not increase the likelihood of...
