    North Texas--looking for a rifle range, private or public

    Quail Creek is nice...I used to shoot skeet there every Sunday morning; I left TX in 2000 & therefore can't comment on the current RO's. See if the Arlington Sportsman's range is still open...VERY nice. You'll need a reference from a current member. Wait 1, google came...

    New ATF ruling on kits?

    My money says 'hoax'. Check From the FAL Files... The conclusion on this thread has just as much veracity on the two threads mentioned in the second post here. Reminds me of a good virus hoax email :) Take what you read on the web as bravo sierra until proven otherwise :what...

    AR15 Barrels: Chrome-Moly vs. Chrome Lined

    who the heck makes hardchrome lined barrels anymore? Bushmaster, RRA (as an option), JT or M&A (can't remember which one), and Oly (also optional). A significant advantage of a chrome lined barrel is that the chamber uses a 5.56 chamber...far less particular in feeding, and a necessity if...

    Range fees - what does your range charge?

    I shoot at the Nampa R&G Club. $100/year for my wife and me, $10/year for a key to the gate. Pistol pits, silouhette, 25/50/100/200 rifle ranges, plus CMP every Wednesday night with additional 300/600 yd ranges. Very uncrowded except near deer/elk season. Class III just fine. Nice folks...

    Will a .223 stop a Grizzly?

    2 things... One, do NOT use an AR...front sight issues (very old gun/bear joke). Two, can we go to the "Can I shoot my Glock underwater??" thread?? I just can't bear much more of this.:rolleyes: -hanko

    Did the boycott save Smith & Wesson?

    I agree with Pat S. Maybe some of you have forgotten what Smith agreed to do. You might check www.hud.gov/library/bookshelf18/pressrel/gunagree.html Pat, where in ID are you?? -hanko

    Smith and Wesson the only premium small arms manufacturer in the US?

    and, even more nonsensical... for the two of you who cannot fathom why we should support a weapons manufacturer who wants to sell out the concept of the 2nd amendment, here's the text of what Smith bent over backwards for. Note that the "new S&W" has done nothing to rescind this agreement...

    Smith and Wesson the only premium small arms manufacturer in the US?

    Not a PR tactic, and not a matter of survival; they caved. I hold Glock with their penchant for BF-ing and WmRuger for his hi-cap magazine attitude in the same category. I'll vote with my $$, but you're obviously welcome to do the same with yours. I'm not sure I'd brag about being an icon...

    Smith and Wesson the only premium small arms manufacturer in the US?

    Freedom Arms (another vote), Armalite, Bushmaster, DSArms, the list goes on. How can you recommend anyone spend money with a gun company that hopped into the bed of Bill & Janet?? Disgusting. -hanko
