Thanks for the answer Scrat!

I think you misunderstand what I was driving at. When you are first introducing a child to anything new they imprint the surroundings as being the place associated with the "new" thing. If you are introducing a child to football, one would think the living room is not the place to be kicking or...

The issue is when and where we teach our young the difference between real and toy guns. Not letting them associate the home as a place to have a real firearm is during the initial introduction to real guns. If they are taught that the place to use real guns is at an "Approved Range" then the...

New to C&R So forgive me if this is a silly question. When the stock is mounted to the revolver does it become a Short Barrel Rifle and fall under any BATF regs for the same? Or because it is a C&R is it exempt? I could probably look it up but I thought I'd ask here.

When I was a kid We all ran around playing army or cowboys and Indians (how politically incorrect!) so playing with guns that was just normal for us. But there did come a time when I went into scoutting that I was taught the difference between real and toy. If you have to opportunity and...

I go to an indoor range with the same signage regarding AP, reloads and steel case ammo. The AP restriction is for the obvious reason. The restriction on reloads is strictly a liability issue. The range owner told me he if anyone on the range gets hurt from a reload, it'll mess up his liability...

Best measurement I could get off the various surfaces of my Crossbreed was .0535".

Don't know much about your rifle but I learned that the marriage of your cheek to the butt stock will have an impact on the position of your eye and the scope. Does your rifle have iron sights? If so verify the point of impact at that range is within your range of aim with the iron sights...

The liberal elitism is still present, even in this supposed gun friendly discussion. Meaning it's good for the elite to own firearms but the great unwashed shouldn't own firearms because they are responsible for "senseless and insane killing", not taking into consideration that the "senseless...

Thanks for the clarification!

Having read what is already posted here, I've come up with a couple of question for those that purchase on line. How do you know the gun you're buying will fit your needs? Did you go to the local shop, handle the weapon, get the answers, then buy on line? or are you buying with the hopes that...

Okay. I got a question. In the revolvers shown in the pictures above, the firing pin is not part of what is normally called the hammer. In fact the gun has a (striker) firing pin that hits the primer and the strike pin is hit by the striker (hammer). So in fact the revolver is acting like a...

DAO = double action ONLY. A weapon that cannot be used as a single action. Single action = Ruger single 6. For the gun to be discharged the hammer must be drawn back and the trigger pulled (short trigger pull) to released the hammer to fire the ammunition . Pulling the trigger will not cock...

I shop on line I shop on line to get a better idea about what price I should expect when I go to the gun shop. The local shop I deal with will do everything they can to get me the gun I want at 'near' the same price. They are straight up front that their goal is to maintain customer...

I wonder if his scope is anchored properly and the problem is not the rifle or ammo. I did that to myself... once.
