    Classic American Rifle

    Classic American rifle? There is no rifle in American history that is identified with the might of this country and the dominance in the world than the Garand has been. By the same token, the AR and variants are today's modern version of the same dominance on the world scene. Nothing says...

    Deactivated weapons........I cried.

    Reactivating a weapon that has been dewatted, as we call it here in America, would likely get you some serious Grey Bar Hotel time. The English, being thorough as they are, probably make it pretty difficult to return weapons to firing status. And, even if you could, the damage to the barrel...

    History Channel - Beast of Gevaudan

    Some of you guys are smoking too much hemp for your or anybody else's good. OMG, this whole thread gives me a headache. The HC has turned to pure crap anyway. Silver bullets and comparison tests with different bullets to kill unknown predators. :banghead: :fire:

    This is how people get hurt or killed

    Two things to add First, the powder didn't ignite because it wasn't in a contained space that would allow ignition. Without the pellet load and wadding, this was simply a load of powder that couldn't be ignited. You would get the same result by removing a bullet from a metallic cartridge and...

    Should I trade NIB Kimber for HK USP?

    If you are near a shooting range, I encourage you to rent an HK USP and get some time on it. I own one and it is a vile creature, hard to control in a 40 and surely worse in a 45. It rarely hits where it is aimed. The Kimbers are extremely nice and fully controllable in live fire. If it...

    Bubba´s Mosin

    I looked at a Marlin, brand new bolt action rifle with a weatherproof stock and it cost only $299 at Dick's. Micro-grooved barrel and an adjustable trigger too boot. Darned nice rifle. My question is why would you go to that much effort to make a rifle when $299 will build you a rifle that is...

    Mr. Pale, thanks for the link. It enlightened me on the code markings. I think the other markings are from Navy Arms though. They are a large importer of almost anything military. :o

    SKS vs. AK-47 vs. Mini-14

    My rule on rifles is simple My rule is buy as many as you can and get two of the ones that work well. I have SKS rifles (several), AK47's (two) and a mini 14 and mini 30. They all work well as far as I can tell. I certainly would not want anyone shooting at me with any of the bunch I...

    Help with Big Words-What Does Contiguous Mean?

    I believe Utah would qualify If I am correct, the state of Utah is also considered contiguous. There is no language in that word that references the border's length or anything about that border. Ask a dealer and see if he or she will consider you a lawful purchaser. There's the best answer...
