OK, here is my report. First of all, I had a great time and would highly recommend it. I am already thinking about attending another one. :D As was mentioned previously in this thread by others, the history portions were great and I learned quite a bit I did not know before. I was only...

Bummer, tarakian, sorry to hear that. Hopefully my experience is as positive as most of the ones I hear about. I realize it's not Gunsite, but to be honest, I think I would pay $75 to shoot for a couple days with some friendly folks even if there was no training involved, so I am pretty much...

There are a lot of ways to carry shotgun ammo. See if any of these float your boat: http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/ItemListing.aspx?pagesize=1000&catid=651

Well, I hounded my reps about it. I also noticed on the VCDL website quite a few other promising bits of legislation in various stages of the legislative process, including some castle doctrine laws. Should be interesting to see what happens.

Thank you, Lee. Somehow I overlooked that page when signing up. Exactly what I was looking for.

Yes, it is a Marlin 795. :o I'm not sure about the length of the range, but it is a .22 caliber-only event. What do you think of the shooting jackets with the built-in pads, like the USMC-style ones sold by Appleseed Fred?

I signed up for my first Appleseed. I am going to attend the March offering in Annapolis, MD. It looks like they have Appleseed events at this location on a regular basis; has anyone been before? Or is anyone else here planning on attending in March? On a related note, I have my Marlin 795...

I would get either a Ruger LC9 or a KelTec PF9.

I like it, Owen. I have been making do with a steel pipe, but since I added grip tape it looks more suspicious now.

Hey, I remember this thread! I still have my stock cane, but I am thinking about getting something else as well. Those hickory sticks that hso linked to look nice, has anyone used one?

Thanks for making the effort, Sam. I am really enjoying this thread and would hate to see it go. To the OP, I would just say if you are already prepared for cougar, bear, etc., you probably don't need to make any drastic changes to your protection methods. (full disclaimer: I have...

Looks nice. Are you going to dress it up? I saw a good-looking one with a single-point sling and a Magpul AFG.

CheaperThanDirt is the cheapest I have found the magazines so far, just over $12.

Sorry for the thread res, but I found this topic quite fascinating. I enjoy playing video games (mainly fantasy-based, story-driven games). Recently, however, I have been playing Fallout: New Vegas, a sort of post-apocalyptic game set in the Nevada area. One of the coolest parts is that aside...

I stumbled across this old thread yesterday as I was doing some research trying to decide on a rifle to bring to an Appleseed event. I was on the verge of just grabbing one online for about $150, and I thought that was good deal! My local Dick's still had a few in stock, so I grabbed one right...

I am going to submit to superior experience and wisdom on this one. Thanks again for the replies, and I will post something up about the new rifle once I get it (assuming my Christmas dreams come true).

Thanks for your replies, everyone. You may have the right idea, Carl. I may find the 20" length to be fine. I am getting a bit ahead of myself anyway, since there is no guarantee that Santa will bring me the rifle just because it's at the top of my list. But dang it, those 16" barrels look...

I really like the Mossberg 464 lever rifle, but I would prefer a shorter barrel. How difficult would it be to reduce the barrel length from 20" to 16"? Is it something a gunsmithing novice like myself could accomplish, or would it be better to cut my teeth on a different project?

I carry the aforementioned Spyderco Tenacious every day, and I like it a lot. It is larger than my previous EDC folder and feels better in my hand. I also carry a neck knife almost every day. It's a KaBar BK11 Becker Necker. Probably don't want to play football with it on, but it doesn't...

Thanks, guys. Yeah, I made that list quite some time ago, just as a compilation of every accessory I saw mentioned in a FAL thread. I am gradually coming to the realization that often less is more when it comes to a hard-working, functional piece of equipment. I have had 1000 rounds of ammo...
