    Embrace The Truth - Catastrophic Gun Failure

    I still cannot fathom how the breach opening (from the gas escaping through excessive headspace) would cause the stock to break. The stock would break through normal recoil. Escaping gas does not cause excess recoil. I guess the bottom line is that he is lucky I was not on the jury. He...

    Embrace The Truth - Catastrophic Gun Failure

    But what is the truth. You have blamed the gun mfr but you have not described in detail the fault in the firearm. From the photos you produced, we cannot see a fault in the firearm either. Is the broken stock the fault? How does the chamber have any relationship to the broken stock? Did the...

    Embrace The Truth - Catastrophic Gun Failure

    The only thing I see here is that the plaintiffs lawyer was better than T/C -S&W. The guy claims catastrophic gun failure. He doesn't claim Kaboom. I'm surmising that his claim was that somehow, excessive headspace caused excessive recoil, thereby breaking the stock and allowing the scope to...

    Firearms Insurance

    I have a rider on my policy specifically identifying my guns. The only negative to this process is the serial numbers are recorded. That said, my insurance agent is a fellow shooter and understands insuring firearms. I don't find my policy to be that expensive - it is about half that of the...

    Gun Stuff You No Longer See

    missing is the vast array of BB guns. BB guns that looked like guns. M1's Win 94's, etc. Now they are all break open pellet rifles or plastic junk. Probably a good thing though. I'd hate to get in a BB gun war with my brother (yeah, it was stupid) and be shooting the 1100 fps pellet rifles...

    All-purpose, high-quality belt

    Aker belts out of San Diego. Just got it a few weeks ago. Has the Kydex sewn between the layers of leather. $53 including shipping. Well made, holds the holster perfectly. Nothing but good things to say so far.

    most rewarding gun purchase?

    The Winchester Model 64 lever action .30-30 that my mom bought for my dad for $65 in Patterson, NJ in 1953. I have the gun now that dad has passed away. Pristine, unblemished, never has had a screwdriver touch it. I have the photo of dad opening it on Christmas day 1953. That was the most...

    Have You "Taken Care" of a Neighbor or Friend?

    I've given away some to friends who cannot get any ammo. I've only given away factory stuff though. I don't want to be responsible to anyone else for my reloads. Some of them have asked if they could pay me for the ammo. Rather than establish a price which may be offensive, I tell them to...

    Has Anyone Actually Seen A Gun "Go Off" By Itself?

    Seems to me that most of the situations noted above include pulling the trigger at some point prior to the discharge. I do doubt that there are incidents where a gun, left to its own devices, discharges.

    Bad news for the children

    Many (hopefully most) of the shooting community would give out of our stock to start a new shooter. I gave a guy 2 boxes of 9mm on Monday morning to shoot out of his new (first handgun) S&W Shield. I'll give him and his boys a brick of 22 if they want to learn.

    3-Gun Cart

    If you welded the angle right, that would make a perfect gun rest when you lowered the windshield over the hood. Multi-purpose!

    Range horror. I hope you're sitting down for this, I've never seen anything like it.

    At our range it mean you do not touch, handle, fondle, pack, unpack, fix, load, clean or otherwise while someone is down range.

    Retail insider's info on the current ammo shortage

    Maybe the large retailers could get a handle on the scalpers by marking the boxes they sell. Just rubber stamp the box with the current date and the Walmart logo. That way, buyers on the internet will at least know they are buying from a scalper. Maybe they will think twice. Pretty...

    Looking for an O/U for occasional clays

    I'll get stuff thrown at me for this but one of the best buys on the used gun rack at the moment is the old Remington 3200. I regularly see them under $1K. They have mechanical triggers. Lots of folks hate them, personally, I still like them.

    Carry in a Bank?

    Bank carry There is NO federal regulation concerning carry in a commercial bank. State law may vary, bank policy may vary but there is no fed rule. Look up the Bank Security Act of 1968. That one page law is the be-all and end-all of bank security regulations. Federal Reserve Banks are...

    What is the most gun friendly state?

    Georgia Georgia should rank pretty high on the list. Shall Issue, open or concealed, state preemption, suppressed stuff ok (maybe even for hunting, depends on final legislation), castle doctrine, stand your ground. Carry in vehicle OK even without permit. Fair amount of reciprocity (SC why...

    Barack Obama: 'I go shooting all the time'

    I just looked it up as well. Looks like the remnants of live pigeon rings as well (boy that would go over well).
