    Anything else like collecting firearms?

    Try sailing, with your own boat, of course. To get the feeling of it, stand fully clothed facing into a cold shower, making sure some of the water is running down the back of your neck, while tearing up $100 bills as fast as you can.

    Where's Maryland Shooters.Com?

    I have been trying to access MarylandShooters.com for two days now and all I get is a message stating "cannot access web site" from my browser. :cuss: Anyone know what's going on?? :confused:

    So you think you might be getting set up

    "I like the idea of hiding the weapons in my house. I doubt my wife would give the location away. The attic is not accessible for the cousin (literally wouldn't fit through the hole!). And "loaning" them to another Marine (who did his time) has been discussed. He would love to see my AR in...

    Bore Snake Vs. Traditional cleaning kit for break in and everyday cleaning.

    I like the Otis system for anything that does not allow access from the receiver end with a rod. Cleaning from the muzzle end with a rod, at least without a bore shield in place, is asking for degraded accuracy due to off-center muzzle wear (over time anyway). For any shotgun, I like to run a...

    The Green Notebook

    Keep it up! By all means keep the reports coming. We NEVER see this sort of thing in the media stateside (or probably anywhere else). BTW, thank you for your service. MY war was The Nam. Warhorse

    When you die, where are your guns going?

    Since I have been told that I cannot take them with me, I have decided that I'm not going! :evil:

    Are shotguns really best for home defense?

    No one uses Crimson Trace? I can't believe that in all these pages of posts, no one has mentioned the Crimson Trace laser grip sights. They replace the standard grips on a large variety of handguns, are easily zeroed, are always ready to go as soon as you squeeze the grip in a ready-to-fire...

    J-B Weld to Build Up a Front Sight?

    It should work but do not depend totally on simple adhesion of the epoxy to the existing metal sight. If there is any room at all, slightly under cut the sight or drill a small hole through the sight to provide mechanical support to the JB Weld. If the metal is completely clean and has a...

    BestShotAmmo.com?

    Kingpin: Thanks for the thoughtful response. I actually planned to take the action you recommend but plan to give them another day or two before starting to rattle their cage. Assuming that they really are dealing in good faith, I also plan to give them a piece of my mind re how to conduct...

    BestShotAmmo.com?

    Has anyone here ever ordered (and actually received) ammo from BestShotAmmo.com? http://www.bestshotammo.com/ They have good prices listed but their response, so far, has been terrible at best. First, my original order for .357 Magnum, sent over a month ago, was "misplaced." Then repeated...

    Laser Sights - Crimson Trace™

    There is a general problem What everyone has said so far is quite true. I have the Crimson Trace on one of my 1911's and want to get another. In low light conditions, they can't be beat. They are also as accurate as you want to sight them in. I sight mine in for POA/POI at 25 yards and this is...

    THR member publishes a novel, and it is gun related, oh, it is gun related...

    My copy arrived today but haven't had a chance to start reading. I thought that it was interesting that Larry's autograph looks more like the representation of a lightning bolt than anything I have seen in our alphabet. :neener: Hmmmm. Could that have been on purpose or was I simply well down...

    Have you been shooting longer than I've been alive?

    60 Years! Started with a .22LR/.410 over/under at the age of 7 on a cousin's farm. However, didn't really get fully into it until I hit college at 17. Shot pistol competitively in ROTC and was captain of an Army pistol team while in the service. Did quite a bit of amateur gunsmithing on both...
