I've had a few problems with the white box ammo. Everything from not chambering to non-fires/squibs. I tend to stay away from it. I have had a few ppl buy it for me (relatives, not knowing what to get for one occasion or another...) and have started weighing the rounds. I tend to stick to the...

I guess I gotta post this fond memory of childhood. When I was about 7 years old, we all went up to Maine and stayed at my grandma's place which was an old colonial style with a fireplace in just about every room. Now, my mom is an avid reader and was reading Alien (prolly the last...

Pat McManus makes boucoup bucks doing that very thing for outdoor life. My question: Why didn't you turn up the furnace and roast the little Squirrel McNugget? :D

NY Penal Law § 270.20 Unlawful wearing of a body vest. 1. A person is guilty of the unlawful wearing of a body vest when acting either alone or with one or more other persons he commits any violent felony offense defined in section 70.02 while possessing a...

I would recommend that you both get your CCWs. If you are away, leave the PDW home and, {insert non-denominational spirtual cool guy/gal here} forbid that something happens, depending on the laws in your area, your wife could be charged with possession if she is holding it when the LEOs show up...

What would be the chance of the round going off during the "password programming" phase? 50 rounds of 9mm going off while sitting on the counter getting programmed? Not to mention, in PDWs, no one will ever convince me that there will be enough time every time to punch in a pswd. Where would...

I am far from being in either categories, however I did convince 2 ppl to have a range day with me with one statement. "Criminals are criminals because they break laws. How would gun laws be different?" This usually opened the door for discussion where I would point out that the only ppl really...

I can reload at about $0.08 per round. $0.05 per round if I scrounge brass, which my range has no problem with. Of course, I give each case a thorough inspection before reloading.... But then, I'm not too keen on non-brass cases and have found, at least in my area, the Winchester White-box is...

I have yet to resize a straight walled case, including the .45-70. I still measure, just in case, but have yet to worry about it.

Well, it happened. In NY, a pistol permit no longer qualifies as a NICS check. Now, everyone has to go through the NICS check for retail and pawn purchases, even the CCW holders. A letter was sent from the ATF to all FFLs stating the following (which can also be viewed at...

I own 2, a Savage MKII Bolt-Action and a Marlin Model 60 Semi-auto. If I had the extra money at the time I bought the Marlin, I would have gotten the 10/22, no doubt. Mostly because of the after market mods that can be had.

Back in High school, I was part of the SCA. During one of my sword bouts, someone made the comment that it looked like half of one of my hands was missing, due to my fighting style. That reminded me of a character in one of the book series, The Thomas Convenant series. My first name is Thomas...

I have a 1300 that I love and that is normal. If you shoot it one handed, it should eject the shell, even target loads. As previously stated, it's a speed pump feature and to fix it is to break it. This is one reason that, when I teach my classes, I explain to the students to learn about the...

Technosavant: Slight mod... hope you don't mind...

lrhuntr: Man, that one with the squirrel rocks! It's ironic that my g/f and some friends joke about me training MFR Squirrels to take over my town. Hope you don't mind that I printed that one to hang at my desk. Too funny... :D
