SteveSatch: One thing about factory Remington magazine extensions (+2s and +3s) is that they do come with a barrel band to attach a sling swivel mount to. However, Wilson has a sling loop mount that is available for the 870 and 1100/1187 that fits between the locking collar of the Remington...

Justin, You referred to the pulp fiction of the the early 20th century as 'penny bloods'. Those are the same as the 'penny dreadfuls', I presume? I also recall that in the 1950s there was a type of joke that had a title similar to 'penny blood' or 'penny dreadful'. It was quite...

Tell him the meaning of the word 'people' was clarified in the Supreme Court case United States v. Verdugo-Uriquidez (1990) as individuals, and not as a communal group, which is the word used in the First, Second, and Fourth Amendments, and in other parts of the Constitution, where it always...

Look at the picture from another perspective: If both these guys are terrorists, then the photo is only half wrong. It would be right if BOTH of them were behind the launcher, if that was somehow possible with this SAM system.

Perhaps there is a copyright problem. The caption and page that the first photo is on appear to be taken from Kevin Dockery's book: Special Warfare, Special Weapons: The Arms and Equipment of the UDT and SEALs from 1943 to the Present (The Emperor's Press. Chicago. No year of printing, but I...

Yes, 'Liberty Stands Still'. Heard about it from a friend. Probably the same level of engaging social commentary as the HBO movie 'Strapped' (selling firearms from lenient states aka Georgia and via bad FFLers, aka 'kitchen table dealers' to the exploited masses in New York City). If I am...

I have not seen references to shopowners of any ethnic group carrying or bearing Kalashnikovs of any type during the L.A. riots of 1992, but I have a photo somewhere of a shopowner (uncertain if he is Korean) with a Daewoo carbine that may be during the time of the riots. The column was from...

A few things that were omitted from the movie: B & B Guns also supplied the LAPD with Remington 1187 Police model shotguns (18" barrels and +2 mag extesions) with slugs. One of the LAPD officers liked the ARs/Bushmaster he used that he wanted to buy it from B&B (don't know if...

The police call them SWAT teams because the are supposed to 'SWAT' out the bad guys like the pests that they are! Beretta: Isn't that the name of that TV series and that car made by Chevy? And a gun company? Well, gee whiz, that gun maker ought to be paying GM and the media company for...

I still don't understand this argument of "if just a couple of these guns fall into the wrong hands" arguments. Inanimate objecys have been falling into "the wrong hands" for as long as humanity has existed. Guns are certainly not the last item. I still don't understand the argument voiced...

Ahh yes. Cryptonomicon. Love the small aside on the virtues of water cooled belt fed MGs (specifically the Vickers) when used by large OSS operators on Nazi roadblocks. Or the advantage of simplicity in operation of Soviet light artillery (mortars) when employed against small groups of...

What finishes are offered with that: Blued, Stainless, Parkerized, Satin nickel? How much would it cost to get a 'Treebark' type finish on it? How about inscriptions? Can I get this with custom engraving and have 'the last argument of kings' put on it in Latin? By the way, what is...

I saw that The Sportsman's Guide is selling Radway .308/7.62x51mm in belts in quantities of 200 rounds with an ammunition can. While I have heard that the British surplus is generally good, I am curious if these has been delinked every 4 rounds and repacked. I have seen this same stuff offered...

How about FAC (Federal Arms Corp)? They advertise in Shotgun News. I know they have .308, but cannot recall if it is Spanish or Portugese.

I have a couple of 30 round Orlite magazines that I have received as gifts. They are both in used condition and have the same problem of having a crack that starts at the right angle formed by the vertical and horizontal edges of the cutout for the magazine follower's bolt stop tang on the left...
