    Question about sighting in revolver.

    Hate to bring it up...but what makes you think your technique is perfect and hers isn't? My brother and I have some matching revolvers (S&W 17's and 57's), we're both pretty decent shots, and if we trade guns POI moves several inches at 25 yards for both of us. Everybody does it differently...

    Patenting a cartridge dimensions?

    Entirely possible... and mostly useless. Example from the 1930's: let's neck the .250 Savage to .22. Someone (Gerry Gebby?) patented his version as the ".22 Varminter"(TM) and tried to enforce it. The result was a lawsuit or two and virtually no .22 Varminters; everybody else changed a dimension...

    When openly carrying isn't considered to be open?

    Variable- the LEO response about holsters speaks more to ignorance of the law. Oregon statutes specifically state that holstered carry is considered open, not concealed. Of course, just because you are legal doesn't mean you won't be arrested...

    Smith (R-OR) office says,You don't need "assault rifles"

    We currently have 3 kinds of Republican in government: 1. Republicans who want you to know they are just like Democrats, like Gordon Smith. 2. Republicans who don't want you to know they are just like Democrats, like most of the rest. 3. Representative Ron Paul.

    Raising the price of firearms

    "PRE" Everything has to be pre-something: pre-ban Mini-14's (never "banned") pre-64 Winchester 63's (last produced in '58) pre-64 Savages, Remingtons, Colts, etc. (so what?) and my current favorites: S&W pre K-22's and pre K-38's! :banghead:

    Another failure on the war on drugs

    c yeager- The point I was trying to make is that these "perfectly legal" drugs are theft-prone because of restricted access and wildly inflated prices. This is a government-created black market that differs only in degree from the "illegal drug" market, not in kind.

    Another failure on the war on drugs

    "You know what our two most stolen items were? The perfectly legal drugs of Alcohol and Cigarettes." The two items with: Age restrictions on sales, and: Prices hugely inflated by taxation.:rolleyes:

    Another failure on the war on drugs

    Remember what killed George Washington? He had a respiratory infection, maybe pneumonia, and his doctors, with the best of intentions and best medical knowledge of the day...bled him to death. I used to think that all the drug warriors were cynical JBT's, but have come to realise that many...

    7x57 in the CZ 550--various test loads

    I used to load for a Ruger M77 in 7x57; it had a fairly tight chamber but a long throat and a long magazine. Bullets could be seated quite long and still be short of the rifling and fit the magazine. 139-140 gr max tended to be lightly compressed IMR-4320 loads for nearly 3000 fps. 154...
