Tried anti freeze?

I am right handed, left eyed! I shoot handguns right handed, long guns left handed. No problems, with M14 type, AR15 type, Mossberg shotguns, or other shotguns that are safety switchable. Lever guns, or Ruger #1's are good, too. If I bought a bolt gun, it would be a Savage LH.

It has always upset me that an American has to jump through hoops to get a class 3 weapon, but the same weapons are available to whoever in third world nations. I don't agree with desroying weapons at all, but how about we send the infamous Captain Crunch over there, so he will leave our stuff...

I want a Ruger #1 in 45/70, to go with my #1 in .280 Remington!

What problem? It seems to me, that we have a good training ground for our troops and equipment in these parks. We have night vision equipment, too, and suppressed long range rifles, and troops in need of training prior to deploying to South Asia. IOW, Shoot, shovel, and shut up.

Behave yosef, and get a life! As an ex peace officer, I can agree that alot of revenue is produced by traffic enforcement. That being said, I obey speed limits, traffic signals, keep all my lights working, and nothing louder than a Flowmaster series 70 muffler on my vehicles, and I am not...

748 with WSR primers in GI brass w/ 55grain FMJ, although I want to try the 77 grain match projectiles. I use my AR15s for defence, animal control, and blasting.

Several guests or family members could provide cover fire with the Marlins while a shooter using a full power rifle reloaded, or woved to a better position. Some of my family members won't touch anything larger than 22 rimfire. I wouldn't want to be hit with a 22 rimfire, I would try to...

I wonder how many of those that switch platforms so easily have seen the elephant?

45/70 for me I prefer the Marlin in 45/70, but my guide gun doesn't fit me well. The straight stock doesn't feel as good as a pistol grip stock, like the 1895 rifle has. My Guide gun, blue finish with the ported barrel and Ashley sights is available for sale or trade on a Ruger #1 or...

Marlin for me I like the side ejection, and that it comes in 45/70!

I have to agree with Glockman17366 !

I say stick with one platform.... I have a two Colt 1911's, a Combat Government for wearing when I walk around the property, and a Lightweight Officers for CCW wear. Both operate the same way. I was a firearms instructor when I was a peace officer, and tried to explain that it is best to...

I'm not trying to start something, But while I have no use for silly rules promulgated by any governmental authority, the plain fact is that at distances close enough to determine the target is a threat, 30 caliber ball ammo will walk through most vehicles. While it is nice to have, I won't be...
