Sold mine a few years ago, and have regretted it ever since. To each his own.

I am lucky in that I have a job which allows me to carry anywhere and I live in a pretty gun friendly state, so for me it isn't an issue. But, were I single, and lost that job, I would consider moving.

A clockwork gun. You wind it up with a big key like on an old tin toy and as the spring unwinds with everyv trigger pull it drops the hammer. Not exactly practical, but I'd like to see it anyway. Just for kicks.

I've got a 1925 Mosin. Haven't shot it yet, but Hopefully will get out this week.

I recycle old towels for cleaning, I've got an old tackle box for range tools, milk jugs make good targets.

A lot of people don't realize they are flinching. Get some snap caps and stagger a couple in the magazine. She'll see herself flinch when there's no bang. Have her fire a few shots with just the snap caps, consciously, slowly following everystep (front sight, front sight, squeeze, pop, repeat).

You'll have to be clearer. Are you suggesting that the four year old girl is a frequent poster here? Or maybe she frequents other boards? Or maybe, based on some posts on this forum, the Canadian authorities would have the right to search someone's house? If there was a point in your...

Have only been "in the zone" a coupla times, but the only way I could describe it was like being The Terminator. I made myself a machine. It was just the gun and following every step to the letter to make each shot that perfect shot. To be sure, they weren't ALL perfect shots, but my score...

I have been telling everyone I know about this since I first heard about it. I am well aware that this sort of nonsense can happen here, and does. The case in my previous post proves it. If you don't point out the pure stupidity in the logic defending that behavior, then all is lost. No...

You needn't worry...we shoot deer too...

He was put in handcuffs and strip searched based on a picture by a four year old and a statement about "bad guys" and "monsters". Are you really defending that? Really? This is a firearms forum, so yes, we make a big deal about it because it is firearms related. There was a case in SC where...

H&K might fall into that category, although less than Glock. I have a USP I love, and I carry a Glock at work. Shoot both decently. Used to carry H&K P2000 and just never could shoot the thing as well as I would have liked. As far as Hi-point...I would buy one, but they are just the ugliest...

If it had been a $2000 Mosin that would have been sarcasm. That was just a non sequitur.

I did. If you think any run of the mill, one in 20,000,000 Russian rifle is ever going to be worth that much, you're kidding yourself. I have seen your link and stand by what I posted.

Value is relative. If he got what he wanted out of the rifle and has no intention of selling it, I would say he got a lot of value. He took a base model firearm and made it better (for him). That is value.
