    CA Ammo law - AB 962 - overturned in court 1/18/2011

    I would certainly bet that this will wind up in the 9th Circus Court in San Francisco. It's an excellent decision by the Fresno court, but it's not over yet. The anti-gun liberals will do whatever it takes to get this horrible excuse for a law to keep residents from freely buying the ammo they...

    .17 HMR vs. .22 Mag

    As far as finding a rifle, you can always call a specific Cabela's store to see if they have one in stock. Same with a Wal-Mart if they sell guns (not all of them do). There are 3 Wally Worlds near you so one may have gun sales. Even if they don't have the rifle you want, they can usually get...

    1 MOA Mosin?

    I have a 1931 Izzy 91/30 that will consistently shoot 6"-8" groups off a rest at 200 yards using milsurp ammo, usually the Czech silvertip stuff. From what I have read, that is the group size that was the Soviet Army standard for 91/30's. That's easily "minute of Nazi". At 100 yards, my...

    .17 HMR vs. .22 Mag

    I'm in the same boat; I want to add another rimfire to my collection and my use will also be plinking and paper punching. I had a 917V a couple years ago and it was a very accurate rifle out to 100 yards with the 4-12x40 Bushnell scope I had mounted. But it didn't have the T-900 trigger and...

    Selling a shotgun to someone in my state

    Check the laws of your state to see what needs to be done if anything. When I sell a firearm to somebody, I ask for picture ID. Something like a driver's license that will have a birth date on it. I wont accept things like a company ID badge used to open security doors. I will write...

    Help! Shipping Firearm Manufacturer Fedex conflicting message

    For BammaYankee- The local mail-box stores and UPS stores or Kinko's FedEx shipping desks are not the same as the "real" UPS or FedEx shipping/distribution places. These types of places are franchises and are technically privately owned so they cannot ship firearms. For handguns, you have...

    Online Ammo Orders - .38 Special

    I have purchased a lot of ammo from Outdoor Marksman which is also known as buyammo.com They have two warehouses, one for the West and one for the East so shipping charges aren't too bad. I would suggest that you begin by buying new ammo and save the spent cases and start to reload. You...

    Woman fatally shot by boy hunting bear, Part II

    I quit hunting years ago as I got shot at twice over the course of one season. It was simply idiots who did not bother to identify a target. My orange vest and hat apparently wasn't good enough. What really angered me was the fact that on the second occasion, there were multiple rounds...

    Mag for Colt Vest Pocket Pistol of 1908 .25ACP

    I'm trying to find a source for a mag or two for a Colt Pocket Pistol of 1908 in .25ACP. Found this neat little pistol through a co-worker and am dickering for a decent price but it does not come with any mags. The grips are the original hard rubber and show very little signs of wear. The...

    Vitter To Introduce Concealed Carry Reciprocity

    So how does this impact the laws of some states that require a certain level of background checks? In WA, the state law as it now stands requires that other state CCW permit holders must have gone through similar checks that WA does in order for that state's CCW to be recognized. At this point...

    Gun Ban In Seattle

    Actually, his EO directed all of the city departments to come with a plan to ban guns on "city property" within 30 days. There will be some public comment, but the EO does not require any approvals. I dont' think this will withstand a court challenge, but it certainly shows that the citizens...

    My letter to Wal-Mart

    It's bad enough that a gun buyer at Wally-World is already treated like a second-class citizen. Not only do you have to typically deal with a clerk that know nothing about a gun sale transaction, you have to wait for an assistant manager to show up to carry your new purchase out the door for...

    Please Recomend A Good 20 Round Magazine For A Mini-14

    I have a couple of John Masen 20-round mags and they work well in my Mini-14. I did have to straighten one of the feed lips on one mag (may have been banged up in a shipping box) but no problems in feeding. ProMag is supposed to be a good brand and I though I had read somewhere that ProMag...

    Legality of reloading supplies through APO AE?

    That's probably true. Going up the chain to get permission will probably stop you very quickly, and will attract the attention of your CO. Get caught with unauthorized ammo and you could find yourself in a world of hurt. There's probably all sorts of stuff in the UCMJ that covers possesion of...

    Mosin Nagant Choices

    Sticky bolts are typically the result of year of shooting Soviet ammo with lacquer on the cases. Lacquer coating on their ammo (especially the steel cased stuff) was normal as it was designed for harsh climates and long-term preservation. Over time, the lacquer melted as the rifle got hot...
