    Semi converted to full auto on Discovery Channel?

    Didn't see the episode in question, but based on the description provided here, I would tend to agree. Also, if this was something that the department had a legitimate need for, they wouldn't be ordering one, they would be ordering multiple and the sheriff wouldn't be taking such an interest...

    New M70 Needs Bases & Rings

    I have one of the DNZ mounts on my .308. It is a solid mount but it is kind of funny looking.

    Browning 270 trade to Win 30-30

    Need to know specific models and conditions to make any kind of guess. Also, used gun prices can vary considerably from state to state. Edit to add: if both of you are happy with the trade I wouldn't get too bogged down with the market value of the guns in question.

    Gerald Ung, Not Guilty in Philadelphia

    We really need to reform both the civil and criminal court systems. Looser should pay the winner's reasonable attorney's fees. Around here, most county boards of supervisors would start asking questions if they lost a case like this and had to pay $100k+ in defendant's legal fees in addition...

    Long Island Gun Shop Owners Arrested

    As stupid as the law that they allegedly broke is, if they were actually doing what the police allege, the people involved are stupid as well. I really don't feel bad for the owner, the people I feel bad for are the employees. They were probably told by the boss that it was OK as the guns...

    Williams peep sight

    I have a Savage Mark II that came from the factory with the fool proof sights (with target knobs). I really like them. If you go that route, you will probably want to get the globe front sight with it.

    Yet another reason to keep your finger off the trigger

    Always unload before crossing a fence. It just makes sense.

    Next Rifle

    Of the three I would probably go with the m1a, but why not get a different upper? Also, since you already have a semi-auto, why not look at a high end bolt gun? Just my opinion, reasonable minds may disagree.

    Why does half of the gun community want to be "tactical"?

    What about olive green? Seriously, this thread has been going for less than 24 hours and it has 8 pages of replies?

    Why reload for M1 Garand?

    Watch out, the ATF requires special licenses to manufacture and sell ammunition commercially. It's also a big liability.

    Swiss vote on Sunday "Pro Tell"

    ROTFLMAO! Where in the world did you get an 870 in the middle of England?

    Reversing Our Recent Victories

    As far as stare decisis goes, the supreme court usually does at least maintain appearances of abiding by it, but what they do is find ways to limit the effect of the previous decision that they disagree with and in the process make the case at hand come out how they want it to. Keep in mind...

    Swiss vote on Sunday "Pro Tell"

    In Europe, hunting is a rich person's sport. The rich people look down their noses at pump guns (because they are snobs and prefer their side by sides). As a result, pump guns are not associated with hunting which in several corners of Europe makes it very difficult to justify allowing the gun...

    NICS Denial Threads

    Is it just me or do we seem to be getting a lot of threads about NICS denials lately? On an unrelated note. The last time that I bought a gun, the dealer did not make the normal phone call. Instead he claimed to have run the information through a website. Does NICS now allow dealers to...

    Favorite Oddball AR-15 Caliber

    If I were in the market for an AR-10 (which I'm not at the moment), I would look very hard at the Armalite AR10T in .260 Remington. http://www.armalite.com/ItemForm.aspx?item=10TBNF260&ReturnUrl=Categories.aspx?Category=f4bd4a13-55d1-41aa-aea0-49488ec48776

    Low recoil factory loads for 30-30

    If you have any doubts about the suitability of the gun for shooting, take it to a gunsmith and get his opinion.

    Low recoil factory loads for 30-30

    I've never bought these in centerfire rifle, but have bought them for a 12 gauge shotgun. The shot shells do have noticeably less noise and recoil. (For a lot of people the problem isn't really the recoil, it's the noise.) The're Remington's "Managed Recoil." They are offered in .30-30...

    Why reload for M1 Garand?

    The M1 Garand requires special loads for the gas system to function correctly. CMP does sell surplus ammo that usually good for plinking, but is (in my opinion) not suitable for serious match shooting. Higher quality ammunition will produce more consistent and accurate shots. Surplus...

    OK, what's your favorite cartridge for the AR-15 pattern other than .223 Remington or 5.56x45 NATO? Please include a reason.
