    Supreme Court rules 9-0 for NRA in First Amendment case NRA v Vullo

    While the ACLU won't lift a finger to support the 2nd amendment, they are fierce advocates of the others. This is primarily a 1st amendment case, so the ACLU is on board.

    Mossberg lever action .30-30: Why discontinued?

    There are Remlins and there are Remlins. By the end of the Remington production run, the guns were pretty decent. Sounds like you got a couple of those. However, it took them a while to get the hang of it and some of the early ones were dreadful. I remember seeing one where the wood didn't match...

    Largest caliber you own?

    I once had a #1 in 375 H&H. It was the most unpleasant gun to shoot I ever owned. I'm sure my 458 Win Mag recoiled more, but the 458's recoil was a slow push - OK, a BIG slow push - and you could sort of roll with it. The 375 in the Ruger was big AND fast. I sold it gladly. I've had a couple of...

    As a private party, can I still mail a long gun via USPS?

    To answer the OP's question: Yes, you can still mail a long gun to an FFL via USPS. It's still legal to ship a gun via UPS/FedEx, BUT they were coerced by a cabal of Democratic senators to change their corporate policy to allow only FFLs to ship guns. Both UPS and FedEx have recently announced...

    What's this bolt for?

    The pawn shop has to have an FFL to take guns in and has to have the contact info for the person who pawned it. That doesn't mean that person is still there, but it's a start.

    Gun show loophole?

    Hasn't been ruled on by SCOTUS yet. The case contesting the Maryland AW ban, Bianchi v Brown (formerly Bianchi v Frosh) is the most promising contender.

    Gun show loophole?

    A bit of history: Anti-gun rights campaigns first focused on handguns. By the late 80's that campaign had run out of steam, so an anti-gunner named Josh Sugarmann came up with a new approach to pep up his anti gun organization. From his paper, Assault Weapons and Accessories in America: It will...

    Gun show loophole?

    It appears that ATF have clarified their position since I tried to get a home based FFL. That's useful information. Thanks for the update.

    Gun show loophole?

    It's not the cost of the FFL. It's being able to get one. Q – Given that firearms transactions can originate from anywhere in the United States, must a dealer have a fixed premises to buy and sell firearms? A – Yes. Regardless of where a dealer buys and sells firearms, or through which medium...

    Beloved 30-06 Anyone?

    I was lucky enough to buy a JC Higgins Model 50 as my first centerfire rifle. It's well made, with an FN commercial action and a chrome lined High Standard barrel. They are very accurate. I used to wonder what all the fuss was about sub 1" groups because the Model 50 shot well under an inch with...

    Webley mk5

    Standard 45 ACP ammo is loaded to what would be proof pressures for a Webley. Even if it doesn't blow up, it WILL shoot loose. Lead bullets only. Those Matt's Bullets 260s look like just the thing. I have a stash of long since discontinued Remington bullets that are similar and I'm glad to see...

    TPS M6 Survival Rifle

    I had one of those, only in 22LR. I made the mistake of taking the trigger and hammer out in an attempt to improve the horrible "trigger" pull. I managed to improve the pull somewhat, but reassembly was an awful experience. It required making two slave pins and an absurdly complicated assembly...

    TPS M6 Survival Rifle

    AR7. Sold by various companies, including Charter Arms and Henry. IMO, the one of the worst POS I've ever come across. If you're depending on one of those for survival, you're doomed.

    20" vs. 22" Turkey Gun

    That was Mossy Oak's concession to the idea that some woods have green leaves in the spring. Came out in the late 80's.

    Bulldog .44, 40 years in the making

    Very nice gun. My first Bulldog was a stainless 3", which soon lead to a stainless 2" with bobbed hammer and a 4" Target Bulldog. I'd warn you about not shooting hot 44 Special loads in it, but the first time you shoot it with standard loads you'll find the recoil entirely adequate and lose...

    358 Winchester 444 marlin or 45/70?

    I'll grant you that it's somewhat specialized, but if you're hunting something big in thick cover, a Marin 1895 with warm 45/70 loads is hard to beat.
