    Petition to retract the 8/29/13 Executive Order banning re-import of surplus firearms

    I never thought I would be quoting a poster on 4chan on this site but here it is. For everyone who say that this won't matter (asterisks added over a certain word): And for everyone afraid of being put on some government list for responding, your posting on this website is already more than...

    Guns you would buy that will never be made

    A bolt action .22lr (preferably a Savage mk ii) with a Krag Jorgensen style fixed magazine, or another fixed magazine design that doesn't require removing parts to reload it. Neal submachine gun (imagine a .22 minigun): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neal_submachine_gun Any of those Russian...

    birdshot question

    Someone at shotgunworld actually did ballistics gel testing on a few types of birdshot, it turns out that lead BB shot will actually penetrate to 12 inches and looks like it would be good for home defense, anything under BB doesn't quite reach the 12 inch minimum though. Here is the thread with...

    Repeating firearms before the U.S. Revolution

    How about the Cookson volitional repeating flintlock, able to fire 12 rounds before reloading from around 1750, with rifles with similar actions dating back to the late 1600s, could also be considered an "assault weapon" in New York soon under their new definition of "assault weapon" if they...

    I wanted to point out that it is not just the anti gun crowd we have to worry about.

    Easy response to this nowdays would be to show them what New York is doing such as considering redefining "assault weapon" to include any gun with a magazine over 7 rounds, regardless of action type, such as Lee-Enfields, lever action rifles in pistol calibers, and Ruger single 10 single action...

    GRNC Alert 12-22-2012: Is BATFE Moving To Ban Ammo?

    I read the BATF article and it sounds like they are planing on adding exemptions for certain ammunition (lead free ammunition that would normally be defined as armor piercing), not removing them.

    On MSN Today

    Wow another article about legislation that doesn't include the bill number. Do the reporters think they can give you a better explanation that if you read the bill yourself?

    At Whitehouse.gov...

    Signed. Also, they should really have moderators on there to clear out some of the ridiculous petitions that people post, such as: Establish new legal system of motorcycle riding "Judges" who serve as police, judge, jury, and executioner all in one. For those who think that Judge Dredd is...

    Gun show greed is great for Walmart!

    I don't go to gun shows anymore because of the prices. From my experience at gun shows, almost every single person except only one or two prices their products from at least 15% up to 100% ($450 old generation hi point 995 carbine when you could get them elsewhere for around $230) over what you...

    It is finally over!! I can now share my story.

    Well that's just straight out <deleted>. There should be a law requiring the police to relinquish all evidence to its former owner/owners (if it has one and isn't illegal) if they decide not to press charges, or pay interest based on the value of the item if they want to keep it for longer.

    Having a bolt handle on a .22lr STRAIGHTENED?

    Normally you would either heat it with a torch and bend it or cut it off and weld a new one on like everyone here has been saying, however, I am wondering whether this will cause a problem with the heat treating and possibly a dangerous situation as .22 rifles normally use the bolt handle as the...

    Bolt vs bolt carrier mass ratio to predict reliability?

    No, it would depend on the area of the part of the bolt or gas piston that the gas is acting on, the combined weight of the bolt and bolt carrier, and the pressure of the gas acting on that area. Although the weight of the bolt carrier by itself would matter for the time it takes the gun to...

    Was 1989-2004 The Dark Days of Gun Ownership or 1968-1986?

    Besides the $18,000 price tag that it has because of the 1986 machine gun ban.

    Wondering about a Spanish Jukar rifle.

    Range Report I figure that I should probably follow up with a range report, the gun shoots good except for having some problems with setting off the caps, which I found out was due to the hammer rubbing against the stock, which was fixed with a file and a few minutes after I got home. The gun...

    photos of my smokers

    Are you sure it was .22? I am asking because I remember reading about someone building one based on a wildcat cartridge made by cutting down a .40 s&w case to .550 so it would fit within the original dimensions of the action(or at least what he was able to calculate based on pictures) as even...
