Back to the scope on the gun the Duke is holding: It appears to have a silver ring around the front of the objective bell. Could it be a Lyman? (The adjustment knobs look like Brownells, though.) The "crest" sort of looks like a spade, but since it's on the side of the bell and not on top, I...

I have placed several (mostly small) orders for duty gear from CopsPlus over the last few years. Never had a problem. YMMV, obviously. :)

Not disputing the impracticality of it at all. Just trying to get the details right. Thanks for your help.

You guys are not making this easy on me. :)

Not the same gun, not even with new paint? Well, you haven't let me down so far... This here is the gun I'm concerned with--its scope, base and rings. Based on your info and what I've seen online, that looks like a Redfield base and rings (note the screw at the back). Do you concur...

Hot diggity! They certainly do look like Redfield rings. Thanks. Same scope? Also, Mr. Plissken would like a word...

Gents, here's a puzzler from the early 80s. I'm trying to ID the scope base used on Snake Plissken's MAC-10 in "Escape from New York." It's one piece and is shaped sort of like a dog bone (two bases connected by a slim center rail). The scope rings have a solid post and somehow insert into the...

Excellent. Thanks!

All I need to know is the length of the receiver, excluding the barrel. All I can find online is "overall length," which I assume includes the barrel. Thanks.

Can anyone ID the scope mounted atop The Humungus's revolver (Mad Max 2/The Road Warrior)? It would have been manufactured no later than 1981. Thanks.

Update Thanks again for the info and advice. I visited Brownells.com and ordered a Power Custom hammer and sear pack, a PC titanium extended bolt release, and a Volquartsen recoil buffer pin (the last two because I wasn't happy with the cheap ones I had). The parts are beautiful and fit...

Thanks! Now, is it suitable for CQB and family revenge usage? Or should I stick with my EOTech? Yup: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0829032/

Please? And feel free to go to town on the rest of it. :)

Excellent! Thanks for the info.

Several years ago, when I was tricking out my 10/22, I got a little overeager with the Dremel and/or other abrasives and took a little too much metal off some of the fire control parts, trying to smooth and lighten the trigger pull. I lightened it, all right, but instead of "breaking like a...

Amanda Ripley is the author of the book "The Unthinkable" and a reporter for TIME Magazine. The other day she blogged about the Heller decision. I enjoy Ms. Ripley's writing and I'd hoped she would be less anti-gun, but that turned out not to be the case. I wrote a lengthy rebuttal to her...

What Caimlas said. And alexd, too. I tend to ignore stupid laws. YMMV.

I've been looking for a .22 conversion for my AR and it looks like Ciener is the only game in town (besides DPMS and the ADCO V-22), but there are a bunch of forum threads talking about how Ciener is not exactly a conscientious businessman (to be kind) and is backordered into the thousands of...

Is there an alternative? Does anyone besides DPMS make a conversion? Why is Ciener the only game in town? Can't anyone else make a conversion? Or are there legal reasons why he holds the monopoly? It's ridiculous that a market this big goes unserved.

I lock out as well, and I lean way forward. I have to wonder, though, whether I started out leaning back and got trained out of it. (It's been a long time.)
