    Cleaning a Whetstone

    Just a tip I figured out by trial and error a while back - When a whet stone gets all clogged up and gunky, CLR and an old toothbrush clean it right out. I have tried it on a diamond stone and an arkansas stone and they are both much improved. If anybody knows anything that works better please...

    Oregon - universal background checks

    Shootingthebreeze: You are obviously entitled to your opinion, but the idea that we have to compromise and give up part of our rights to keep any of our rights is pretty weak sauce. What if somebody offered you the same deal about the First Amendment ("Well you can speak out about the...

    An In The Trenches Approach To RKBA

    I still think that you are needlessly limiting the potential size and power of your trust by limiting it to a single state, but I like your idea and will probably participate anyway. It would definitely be satisfying to turn California around. I also really like your idea of subsidizing...

    suggestions for a truck/trunk long gun to keep there.

    If it is for close range self defense I would say your mossberg with an 18" barrel and buckshot is the best thing. It seems like over-penetration is your biggest concern. I would say that it will be an issue with any long gun at all, and if it isn't you probably aren't getting a ballistic...

    An In The Trenches Approach To RKBA

    I understand that but how many prospective members will you lose who have written off California and are more concerned with their own state?

    An In The Trenches Approach To RKBA

    I like the idea in concept but I don't like that it would focus solely on California. I would like to see something that helps in all 50 states. When you think about it, it may be more financially feasible to do it that way. More people would be likely to buy in if it helped their home state...

    Background check to pick my gun up from gunsmith?

    Hmm. I'll have to bring this up when I go to pick it up. It always bugs me when companies go above and beyond the legal requirements. Like trying to card my friends and family who are with me when I buy ammunition or beer.

    Background check to pick my gun up from gunsmith?

    I know that's true in general, I was just wondering if there was a West Virginia state law about it or something. I just figured for their own liability reasons they would at least want to give it back to me instead of my wife, so I can't come back later and say it never got to me.

    Background check to pick my gun up from gunsmith?

    I took a used rifle bought at a big outdoors store back on a warranty issue. They sent it off to a gunsmith for repair. They finally got it back this week and my wife went to pick it up. I didn't figure that they'd give it to her anyway, but they told her not only that I have to pick it up...

    Is pretty a bad thing?

    Finish is the absolute last thing I would consider when determining the effectiveness of a firearm. Get whatever looks better to you.

    Anyone Up for some high-impact gardening?

    50 bucks for 4 of them seems a bit pricy, considering that they probably cost about a dime a piece to manufacture.

    Good Concealed Carry Class In Northern WV

    My wife and I have had our concealed carry previously in a different state, but have recently relocated to West Virginia. We are faced with having to complete another class in order to get our WV CCW. We both have a pretty decent amount of experience with handguns. The issue is, I have a...

    Truck Gun Racks

    I had a window rack in my truck in high school that I kept a 6 D maglite in. It worked fine with the sliding back glass. I kept my guns cased behind the seat.
