I live in Texas, so CDNN has to collect sales tax from me. Even taking that into account, I have gotten some screaming deals from them over the years.

I’ve got 3 22 pistols and 5 rifles. I just buy CCI SV for simplicity’s sake. It shots consistently well in all the guns, but one 10/22 prefers the Federal bulk target. To me, it’s not worth it to buy several different 22 loads to achieve perfection. It’s a different story for my center fire...

One thing about stores like Cabelas: If you are trading for one of their guns, you can save a lot on sales tax. They lower the price of the new gun in the amount of your trade in, which reduces sales tax. I'm still usually better off selling my guns on Gunbroker, but a trade in can be handy...

https://www.facebook.com/anarchistrifleassociation/ Speaking of the "hard left," there are several groups like one in the link above, including the Huey P. Newton Gun Club, the Redneck Revolt, and the John Brown Gun Club. I stumbled across these the other day, and it appears that they have one...

Not sure what relevance the NFA language has in this context -- and for what it's worth, I was aware that NFA refers to "silencers," and I own several. As others have noted on this forum, many opponents of relaxing NFA rules regarding such devices promote the "Hollywood quiet" myth. They use...

http://www.npr.org/2017/07/26/539438864/military-tries-to-cut-through-the-noise-of-war This was a refreshingly knowledgeable and unbiased story about the Marines' suppressor trials. I think it's been reported on elsewhere on the board, but I was glad to see NPR getting it right when it comes...

Thanks for posting this, but for clarity's sake, please note that it's not a done deal yet. The House passed language requiring the release of surplus 1911's, but it still has to be approved by the Senate.

Long arm open carry has been legal in Texas forever (handgun open carry was legalized two years ago), I'm a 66 YO native Texan, and I've never seen anyone toting a rifle or shotgun around. As people have said, it's just too awkward.

I'm trying to teach myself about whitetail deer hunting, so please bear with me and my basic question: What time of year should I expect to see signs of deer population, such as tracks, scat, rubs, etc.? My wife and I are looking at buying a 40 acre property in East Texas, Wood County. About...

The last time I was in a grocery store in the UK, I noticed a sign warning that the little plastic picnic knives were restricted to persons over 18. A couple of years ago my wife was working on a project in a law office in London and asked for scissors; they gave her some kind of child-proof...

It appears that you bought it online. If so, what kind of rating did the dealer have? As a last resort, you might try contacting the site.

When you say "entirely aftermarket parts," do you really that literally? When I think of building a gun, I envision using a factory receiver or frame with all or most of the other parts being aftermarket. I guess there are a few aftermarket receivers out there -- such as 10/22's...

Great story. How old are the kids?

I'll agree with them on one thing: the best way to stop cartel violence is to end or seriously change the War on Drugs. Hasn't reduced consumption in U.S.; has just financed gangs on both sides of the border.

Two observations that might be useful: First, check out the Lancaster display guns sold by International Military Antiques: http://www.ima-usa.com/militaria/original-machine-guns.html They're going for $400 or less, so that ought to provide a general sense of the gun's value. Second, speaking...
