ANGRY FFL's I use the Shotgun News FFL Guide. http://listings.shotgunnews.com/fflguide/ When I was in Seattle I used an FFL that charged $12.50 for long guns and $15 for handgun transfers, pretty reasonable. This guy worked out of his house and he just did the transfers. I asked why he...

Newbie Revolver My first ever handgun was a S&W Model 66 Police Trade in. I really wanted a Sig 226 but they had just gone up in price from $369 into the low $400 range putting it further out of reach. The Model 66 was $240 and came with a duty holster and speed loader rig. What really sold...

I have been using a Robinson Arms VEPR-K 762x39 (wolf 154gr soft points) as my brush gun, it has the 16.5" barrel + compensator. I didn't buy it for use as a brush gun and yes I get a few strange looks, but it works great. First of all it has never ever failed to feed or fire, I use 5 round...

Whoops, that WIN 94AE is in 44mag

I can't remember when I last fired a 30-30 so I can't compare the two. The WIN 94AE I have is very light with it's 16.5" barrel and recoil is an enjoyable *thump*, I can honestly say that it's recoil makes my day. I installed a recoil pad later, not to lessen felt recoil but to get a longer...

Not good, I have wanted to get a marlin 44mag lever for a long time. It'll replace my winchester 94AE 44mag when it breaks or wears out. The marlins I've seen are far better than the winchester I have now in quality. I have a Henry Golden Boy 22lr, bought it new and the rear sight, a Marble...

RRA Elite CAR A4 and Para P14 ltd, both have been 100% reliable and are part of a GOOD pack. Accurate, dependable, light weight I have a VEPR-K 7.62x39 and a Glock 22, that have also never failed to feed or operate ever. I guess you'd call them back up. The G22 is a daily carry weapon and...

I'm with Goose2 on this one - I use Breakfree CLP on all my stuff. At one point I researched the best stuff for both lube and corrosion protection. I found a study testing a number of products on bare steel exposed to salt spray, CLP won hands down against corrosion. All the brands were...

I am an independent in NH. It's important to realize that the vast majority of us, regardless of party, are grouped around the center and generally want the same thing in terms of freedom and individual rights. It's the far edges on both ends of the political scale that get us into trouble and...

My choice was for the 629 power port model. Although my dream gun is 629 with a 5" half lug tension barrel from the custom shop. The 6.5" barrel is a great length in my opinion and the power port front sight is the best of the production model options. I also have a very accurate Ruger Bisley...

It takes practice - blocking out everything and focusing on the shot. I wonder if marriage counts for practice in this arena? I shot a lot of high-power service rifle in the Seattle area years ago. Plenty of hot brass has bounced of my head neck and back. Some even finding its way under...

Your GF is over reacting. I take it she wears a seat belt for protection when driving. If she is as open minded as you say why would she be freaked out about wearing a weapon for protection while out and about in the "real world". Ask her how valuable your life is to her; is it worth fight...
