Good Morning All.. Just did the upgrade to my Life NRA membership. Also, going to bring on a new NRA member this week. The Anti's are in assault mode, time to Saddle Up and push back.. Let's Roll!

No insult taken, I'm here to learn. I installed the firing pin, ejector, extractor spring (retaining spring) and extractor into the bolt before firing my first shot downrange. After the shot, a used shell was ejected (without damage) and a new cartridge was chambered. I pulled the trigger with...

Negative on case head being blown. They are intact and the fired brass appears fine. Tomorrow I'll do a thorough inspection of the chamber and clean it up, sounds like a reasonable start. Thanks much,

Hey all, I have a Springfield M1A Bush Rifle, (1980's). It has done great service for several years. Recently, about midway through a magazine it stopped firing. Upon examination, I had a live cartridge in the chamber and found the extractor and extractor spring/plunger assembly missing...

Hey all, I bought a Colt Anaconda in .45 Colt with the 6 inch barrel way back in the mid-nineties. It's only had 50 rounds or so thru it over the years and has been a "safe queen" for quite awhile now. I've noted how the value has increased over the years. (what are they worth now BTW). I've...

Hey all, I've have had a S&W model 36 Chiefs Special for quite awhile now. I like that I can stick it in my jeans pocket and it doesn't "print" much. But I have been concerned about the minimal .38 special caliber. I have not kept up with the newer models and options for a concealed carry...

Hey all, Upfront, sorry this may be kinda long. I am in a kinda unique situation. I live in a 3000 acre State Park that is about 1/2 mile off of a busy interstate. The nearest town of any size is about a half hour away. The area is known as a drug and illegal immigrant corridor. I am not a...

I do like the Big Bores. I started out with a 1917 Colt New Service in .455 Eley, it's still one of my Favs. I had a Mod. 25-5 S&W ,45 LC for several years. (great gun). I've ran a couple of 1911's over the years and also have a Colt Anaconda in .45LC. Most often my carry is my Springfield .45...

Yeah, Tucson doe's have it's Lefty toads in high places. But we have the Jon Justice radio show that is hot on these lefty activists and his show has a strong conservative, pro gun base that isn't afraid to speak up. Also on the outskirts of Tucson there is a firm contingent of pro-gun ranchers...

Good shooting! I use my M1A Brushgun, and at 25 meters I get things pretty tight on paper, maybe not as tight as yours though. Position is prone and sitting with a hasty sling three, 3-shot groups. Then I take it to torso sized steel at 200, 300, 400, and 500 yards. (again, prone and sitting...

Hey all, I am not a Certified Peace Officer. However, I am a badged Ranger whose duties include the general safety and security of our park and it's patrons. I've been doing this for several years now and I am pretty good a de-escalating situations before violence can erupt. We are not...

Got to agree with the Quigley down under scenes with the Sharps Rifle "bucket" shot and the six-shooter at the end. ( never said I didn't know how to use it, just never had much use for one. Or something like that)

I think a good meter would be that the individuals are allowed to own what ever gov't officials are legally allowed to use in the enforcement of laws against civilians. I believe that is a close statement. During the time of the American Revolution, as others have stated, the average...

Well I just sent in my online annual membership request for the $25 a month for 40 months ($1000). Sounds like I was too late for this great deal. Bummer! :uhoh:Doe's anybody know if there is any recourse. If not, the priority is to get into the NRA and support it for this upcoming election...

Hey all, Thanks for the many helpful responses to my similar post yesterday. I'm learning alot. One responder asked for pics, so I'm going to see if this works. If it does any commenatry would be appreciated. I know there are some extra pieces in these sets, (in the .222 for instance) if...
