    Private sales from individuals to individuals prohibited in Austin, TX (merged)

    I was told today that the Austin Police Department teamed up with the BATF to prohibit sales at the gun show here between individuals. They were requiring them to go through a FFL for the transfer. I wrote the Governor Perry to tell him that I felt it was a restriction on my 2nd amendment...

    Making an automatic weapon

    Bubbles nailed it. The quick answer is no, not for personal consumption. The long anser is yes, but you have to be in the manufacturing industry and there are a lot of complacated steps to follow.

    Don't rely on your physical size

    I had a girlfriend who's father was killed in a nice section of Nashville during a robbery. The reason he was a target was because he was in a section of town where you had to have money to go. I would think a pro player would be a natural target because they have money. The rich get robbed...

    Gun Safe?

    There are certain features that I consider the most important. Again, this is only my opinion. I want a dial that is black with white numbers. I have a hard time seeing the gold and silver dials with black numbers. The fire lined with sheet rock is okay, not a deal breaker for me. White...

    Bad news for M2 BMG fans.

    I believe the M2 holds the record as far as the longest gun in service period, not just the longest machinegun in service

    Bolt action rifles 2: 6.5x55

    I have a Swedish Mauser that has been sporterized (before I got it). It has see through rings, a plastic stock and a Simmons scope. I had to clean a lot of rust off it when it was "new." The sad thing is that it has taken more deer than all of my rifles and my buddies rifles put together. This...

    M1A options

    They are expensive to scope. The mounts are expensive for a good one. If I had to do it over again, I would left it stock and put the mount money towards an AR-10 platform and scoped that.

    NcStar scopes ??

    I've got several of these I won't buy any more. I bought these to try and save money. They work so so, just enough to keep me from throwing them away. When you compare them against decent optics, they just don't stack up. Given the price difference, I wouldn't expect them to be as good. If I...

    6.5 Grendel former owners

    Anyone here owned a 6.5 Grendel and gotten rid of it? I have an upper for an AR that I aquired in a trade and before I go through the trouble of getting dies, etc. I wanted some feed back from someone that was a former owner. I would be using it for deer or hogs and will never shoot over 200...

    Is teh Ruger 10/22 far superior to the Marlin 60C?

    I like them both. When I took my NRA training, I used a Martini for the shooting portion. There was a Marlin model 60 that someone had gotten from underneath their grandfathers bed years ago that would drill holes consistantly. I have found that most Marlins shoot very well, this one was...

    What to do about minor rust?

    I bought a shotgun once that looked worse than your pictures. I bought it so I could practice cold bluing. Once I rubbed it with oil and bronze wool, it didn't need to be reblued. I think you will be happy with the results.

    Zeiss Conquest

    I own 3 of them and will likely purchase a 4th. I also own Leupold, Burris, Nightforce, Bushnell and a host of cheap 3rd world scopes that I don't even remeber the names. The Zeiss for me is the best bang for the buck.

    has anyone ever been hit by a bullet ricochet?

    Been hit many times. I was in an indoor range shooting an AR and something kept hitting my pants leg at the shin. I would stop and see if I could tell where it was comming from. Finally I realized that it was my shots coming off the 100 yard back stop.
