AA-12 automatic recoiless 12 ga shotgun.

Hopefully someone who has one will speak up and confirm or deny this, but the reason I've not gone with the rubber version is that I've read that it flexes when you say... attach a sling and wrap the sling tightly around your forearm for stability. Of course if you don't plan to use a sling...

Been watching this closely since last December... Centerfire rifle ammo seems to be in reasonable supply once again. 223 started showing up regularly around these parts about Labor Day. 40S&W has been surprisingly available for many months- wonder if that says something for that caliber...

@daveit There is one in Ramah, CO (near Limon) in early November. GF and I went there in late May and had a great time- beautiful weather, Ben Lomond gun club is about as nice as they come. Can't speak for the weather in November, but I can't say enough about our weekend there. We may go...

@raindog let me help you with those numbers... :) $199 for stainless 10/22 with synthetic stock, replace the trigger group with a $80 "plinker special" from www.hornetproducts.com, $9 for polymer bolt buffer. Stick with the stock barrel at first, then upgrade to a Green Mtn barrel for about...

Can't say whether or not it benefits the cause, but I'd rather not have this PT Barnum (and that's giving him too much credit) shooting off his mouth about... well, pretty much anything.

Packing away a few shots over lunch at the corner Bar & Drill, eh? (I'll regret that joke when I sober up.)

If you do go .308, be sure to look into the low recoil rounds from Federal and Remington. Also, a better pad for the buttstock is a good cheap expenditure.

hso- thanks for posting that! My dad had one of those many years ago and I've been trying to remember details about it so the picture helps. I regret having sold a stainless mini-14 to cover some car expenses. Then again, I was younger and the need to troll for girls trumped my need for...

Actually, we're not down to the 50% off point yet. The high point for the last year was 13191 which puts the 50% at 6595. I suspect we have a little more to go, followed by a lot of wallowing around at 6500 for a few weeks, then it will torturously climb upward again. Anyway, just one man's...

Please cite your source. I keep hearing this claim, but the thin evidence that is frequently offered has been unconvincing at best.

i *knew* there was a reason I was having trouble finding nitrogen freeze dried food at the BigBoxMart!

I thinking about picking up one or two of these for in-vehicle. Other than J&G Sales, can someone recommend another good mail order outfit that sells them?

I was introduced to my dad's Remington .22 at 5 y/o. I got to shoot it with assistance of course. I was introduced to small game hunting around 9 which meant carrying a 22/20 over/under, and a .22 revolver. Never have been involved in an "incident" and never went poking around in the gun...

It's very sobering to watch the stabilized version of the Zapruder film: http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=jfk+stabilized&search_type=&aq=f I'll warn you that even if you've seen the original "unstabilized" version many times before, it's unsettling to watch this one. @benEzra...
