    Mini-14: your experience?

    Thanks ratshooter. Did you have the steel or polymer mags? I'll probably try one out before getting a bunch. May see what kind of price I can fing on factory 20 mags.

    Mini-14: your experience?

    Tried out my 580 mini the other day and horrible results with Triple K 888 mags (20 round) I bought from cheaperthandirt. The 5 round Ruger mag worked well, but even with that, it would accasionally not cycle the bolt. Any thoughts on that? I was using Wolf brand FMJ ammo. Is it worth...

    Difference between handgun and pistol

    You are right. I wasn't even thinking along the lines of making, just buying (like a Serbu Shorty). Mea culpa. :)

    Difference between handgun and pistol

    I'm pretty sure an AOW (any other weapon) is only a $5 NFA tax stamp.

    Difference between handgun and pistol

    Dictionary.com defines pistol as a short firearm intended to be held and fired with one hand. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/pistol In the 2008Taurus catalog, they separate revolvers and semi-automatic pistols. http://www.taurususa.com/pdf/2008_Taurus_Catalog.pdf While often...

    Maryland Laws. Hunting Etc.

    Here in the Peoples Republic of Maryland you can pretty much only get a CCW to protect large cash deposits, but not your life or your family's life. But they are getting somewhat liberal with hunting laws. I guess that's to be expected from an ultra-liberal state. "Sunday Hunting...

    Maryland Laws. Hunting Etc.

    On page 18 of the 2008/2009 Hunter Guide it states: "It is permissible to hunt deer with a muzzleloading rifle or shotgun in all counties." http://www.dnr.state.md.us/huntersguide/2008_2009_guide.pdf

    New C&R advice thread

    Use a separate sheet of paper and just write 'see attached' in the little box. MUCH easier than trying to fit it in. I used a separate sheet to put down 3 addresses and got the license in 17 days.

    how to not scream AMERICAN in a foreign country

    Unfortunately, this advice could come in just as handy in Baltimore as in Russia. :( I'm sort of in the camp with bushmaster; if you don't act better than anyone you'll probably be okay. It's good advice to try and blend in (don't act like the sheriff from 'Live and Let Die'), but if foreign...

    Conwict's Bug-out Bag, prototype!

    Just becuase you're bugging out doesn't mean you won't meet up with an amorous, nubile female. Or her mother. :D Good revised list. Many of us (me) have a BOB lacking in many areas, and only carrying guns, ammo, cash, flashlight and a few other bare essentials. Your list is quite inclusive...

    Mossberg " Just in case"

    Ditto x 9 on keeping the pistol. I've regretted EVERY time I ever got rid of a gun (except a piece of garbage Lorcin 9mm that stovepiped every other round). I also recommend the regular buttstock, and a regular 500 as well. You can always add the pistol grip later if inclined. I saw that...

    New C&R advice thread

    Give them a call and ask for an update. Four months seems an unusually long tome, though not unheard of. We inmates here in the Peoples Republic of Maryland seem to be getting the license in 3 - 4 weeks.
