    I had one site I found, the lula were $26 or so.

    5.56 Stripper clip pain

    The stripLULA looks better than what I was looking at: http://store.cammenga.com/scripts/prodView.asp?idproduct=26 The loose round loaders for the other weapons are great, I have one for my M1 carbine, but the LULA loader looks superior. This one anyway.

    Alternatives to copper, brass and lead

    Copper will run out eventually too. Peak oil is well discredited. Per pound, getting the plastics needed will be less expensive than using copper, especially with prices going the way they are. If they drop, fine, but eventually the dems will have to cave and allow drilling. The price of oil...

    Alternatives to copper, brass and lead

    Biggest problem with lead is current smelting methods are very polluting. We have like two or three total smelters in the country. It's still reasonably cheap though. The biggest costs are the petroleum based powder, and the brass and copper. The brass and copper are probably half the price...

    Rifleman's assault weapon

    I first saw it in an old book I have, Encyclopedia of world military power, Military Press 1986. It's got everything from ICBMs to the 1911, but is a very general reference guide, nothing like Jane's guides with all the detail. But it had this doodad, which was somewhat appealing. My book is...

    Rifleman's assault weapon

    http://www.angelfire.com/art/enchanter/rpg.html This is the best source I can find on the thing--scroll down a bit over half way--and it's only a couple of paragraphs. I'm looking to put a source for the thing in my bookmarks, but haven't been able to find anything, even on Wikipedia...

    AR-10 big bores

    No others? The .450 Bushmaster and the .50 Beowulf are for AR-15s, SVet, not -10s. I'd really love something that puts it single stack, but the .450 marlin gun is $2500, well above my price range.

    AR-10 big bores

    THere's a marlin? I think I saw that on Google, but there wasn't much on it. What magazines does it use?

    AR-10 big bores

    "Big bore" meaning over .40. And AR-10s, not AR-15s. Big bores for the -15s have been hashed over repeatedly here, as the last hour of searching showed. I remember reading somewhere a thread about a few big bores intended for the big brother of the AR family. I couldn't find it though, so it...

    Heller: Just found out

    Problem is, yokel, how are a bunch of rednecks going to afford that, especially when the feds declare a vendetta against them?

    Rifle-Mounted Grenade Launchers

    Real deal is also compatible with milspec goodies. An alternative is to buy a bunch of these: http://www.bloomautomatic.com/index_files/page0002.htm some blank rounds, and roll your own. Stick to smoke and chalk, no tax stamp needed.

    Heller: Just found out

    The people that would shoot down airliners are the same people that are trying to sneak nukes into the country. Sanity doesn't really apply. This is where parts of the market would come in. Likely, gun shops would still perform background checks on their customers. Companies would specialize...

    Heller: Just found out

    A flamethrower can discriminate. You can decide who or what gets burned by it. What's more, it serves a useful military purpose, even if we don't use them these days. Even a mortar or anti-tank rocket/missile can discriminate. You can decide what gets blown up, and judge what you're shooting...

    St. Louis Gun Shops

    An important thing: C&S is a class III last I knew, which means they can sell you any goody but silencers, which are the only thing banned by MO law. I suppose that'll be the next thing we need to work on here.

    A caveat about the "open carry" trend.

    Around here, you can get arrested because the holster supposedly "conceals" the firearm. Finding out about stuff like this isn't asking permission, it's weighing the pros-cons of the situation. The best strategy is to slowly encroach from more rural areas. we could get people to start doing...
