    Gun Prices are Headed in the Right Direction: DOWN

    I dunno ... ARs are definitely a dime a dozen anymore, but almost everything else I've been looking at has been increasing bit by bit. Long gone are the days of the $100 SKS or the $400 AK. Even the budget Rock Island 1911s are no longer $425 new - now they're over $500 new on average. In fact...

    New Member? Introduce yourself here (just intros, questions get answered elsewhere)

    Thought I'd drop in and say Hi - haven't been here in several years, and decided to see if my old login worked - apparently it still does! Glad to be back.

    Here's why you don't shoot over water.

    I don't know if anyone else mentioned it or not because it's too late for me to read 5 pages of replies, but I'd be more worried about the tracers he's sending off into the trees starting a fire than I would be about the ricochets off the water hurting someone.

    D.C Protest

    Let me rephrase to be more clear - I have a good understanding of what it might be like to survive in a situation with no modern amenities like power, running water, or readily available food supply other than what I can grow or kill because I've done it myself for periods of time extending...

    D.C Protest

    You said yourself we're outnumbered and outgunned where politics is concerned. How can you win a game when the deck is stacked against you? No disrespect, but using flowery words to call me a fool because I don't believe we'll succeed working within the system isn't very high road, Sam and...

    D.C Protest

    Your response is a bit snarky. What's the purpose behind your apparent implied ridicule? I didn't post that in order to say "this is war" - I posted it in order to illustrate americans' blind adherence to the status quo no matter how screwed up the status quo is. You're OK with the government...

    D.C Protest

    War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a...

    When do you NOT carry a firearm?

    When I'm in the shower or in bed. In either case, I have a pistol within arm's reach.

    .357 magnum laud/flash/recoil

    That phenomenon is well known. It does NOT protect from hearing damage, which is both permanent and cumulative. Wear hearing protection if at all possible.

    CCW Diaper Bag?

    is on the body carry an option? A belt or even shoulder holster is preferable to off-body carry.

    muzzle brake vs. buffer

    What recoil? :neener: In my experience the muzzle break will have a greater effect on felt recoil in general, but the buffer has a not insignificant effect as well. What's the setup you've got? (Barrel length, gas system length, current muzzle device, current buffer weight, A1 or Carbine...

    When to use a paddle holster?

    I carry a full size 1911 in a paddle holster around the farm. In a pinch I can cover it with an unbuttoned dress shirt or a jacket. Here in Florida, the law says concealed from ordinary view - it's been interpreted in court to mean that printing is not illegal, as long as you're not wearing a...

    Marlin 60 modification

    I like yours. I saw that thread before. I don't have the tools or the skill to do something like your adjustable cheekpiece yet, but I'm getting there. I was thinking about some sort of addition to the bottom of the grip for a "palm rest" that would also aid in balancing the VERY front...

    Marlin 60 modification

    Hey, I still have an untouched stock for it! I know it's odd looking, but it's actually quite fun to shoot. Gives shooting 12ga hulls off the target stand at 50ft a whole different kind of challenge. I *KNOW* I'm not the only one here that likes odd and unique things! I'm looking for a 16"...

    Marlin 60 modification

    I got bored - I know it's not exactly a rifle anymore (well, legally it is - 22" barrel, 32" OAL), but that's how it started. I still have an unmolested rifle stock for this. The stock needs stained and finished still, but I thought I'd post a pic. Anyone else got a unique custom job...

    What Should NRA Do Now ?

    I'd like to see the NRA actually go on the OFFENSIVE as far as legislation and repeal of existing infringements goes. I'm tired of the gun culture in this nation being on the defensive. It's time to stand up and take back our country, and our rights.

    How many EDC guns do you have?

    I voted 2 guns, different types - a full size 1911, and an M&P40c with thumb safety. I carry them about equally often.

    Sell Out Republicans

    You're right, I did miss your main point. I didn't really mean to come off like I was "exploding" - I intended it as more of a "firm statement". I really meant no offense, and I do respect you considerably for the knowledge you have, especially regarding revolvers. I'm also very aware...

    Sell Out Republicans

    I've attempted a few times to formulate a response that keeps this "high road" material, but I'm unable to discuss this much further without getting political. To put it simply, your contention that "a vote for anyone but A or B is pointless" is incorrect. It's simple math, and the votes of...

    Sell Out Republicans

    So in other words, vote for the same people everyone else votes for or you're helping to destroy our nation, even if the person you're voting for is a traitor, a liar, a thief, or just plain incompetent? Personally I think we should eliminate all political parties completely, institute campaign...
