The REAL argument is that even though MASS Murder committed with guns has went down, violent crimes like robbery and rape go up the more you limit people access to defensive firearms. http://www.ncpa.org/sub/dpd/index.php?Article_ID=17847

Bought this on a whim today (it WAS my b'day!). It looks good in the first pic, next two show the issues. I'm assuming replacement sights, rear is marked "Micro". The front of slide was partially refinished. Is this due to the front sight being brazed/welded on? The trigger is really...

Just finished MHV & MHA .....awesome read! In the middle of Hard Magic now.... let's see ....... I lost count of the genre's blended in this one at about 6! Yet, it's smooth and cohesive with a magic system that has rules (even if we don't know them all yet). For people my age that grew...

He explained that he had come out the night before and pyro'd the sh*t out of it I think that was a good move, as most of us here know that a cannonball doesn't make wood explode

I've had a couple 48s and they all were picky clean it well,maybe even polish the chambers with some flitz make sure it is bone dry after cleaning, that is the key even then, you will have to swab it down every 30 or 40 rss

Still has the one line address, early post-war. This also looks like the pre-war "long action", which would make it what the Smith collectors call a "transitional" model. M&P 2" early post-war I'd call it, pretty nice one at that. I had a twin to yours and sold it, still kicking myself. I sold...

Search the online auction sites for a Ruger 77 in this caliber. One of the distributors had a couple thousand made a few years back. They can be made to shoot pretty good with handloads too. IIRC they were made with a blues barrel/action and the black synthetic scalloped stock ElKabong

Nothing to shoot it in...probably gonna sell. I assume this is non-corrosive...? ElKabong

A crate of old .30 Carbine ammo walked into the gun store yesterday. 1200 rounds, looks like Lake City manufacture. Headstamps marked LC 52....1952 would be my guess :scrutiny:. Two cans of 600 and one was already open. It's on 10 round clips and packaged in 120 round bandoliers. 120...

What would a Rem. Sendero (think it's an earlier one, no J lock) in 7mm Rem Mag with an older Redfield 6-18x scope be worth?? Rifle in above average condition, scope has a few rash marks but optics are clear. Would this make a good beginner long range rig? I am considering one of the...

Just had the same problem with a low round count pistol of the same model? What was your outcome? ElKabong

Is that barrel 18"?? No reason...just asking :uhoh: . ElKabong

General question, if the lever on a sxs points straight down (towards the safety) or slightly left is this ALWAYS a sign of wear. Or do some leave the factory this way and are perfectly fine. I've been told that if it points left of vertical the shotgun will need costly repair...any truth to...

You hit the nail on the head Hud, 50 cents worth of GunBlast and some elbow grease and it's A-OK. Had to COMPLETELY disassemble the trigger which is a task about 3 levels of difficulty higher than I normally attempt. Actually, disassembly is easy, but reassembly can be a bit tricky for an...
