crash So a handful of days ago I was a passenger in a three-car crash. Nobody was seriously injured -- one was complaining of back pain and went away in an ambulance, but the person was lucid. The driver of the car I was in had no chance to avoid the collision. Our impact took place at about...

The key to that recipe is to take your time; it should take at least one full hour. But believe me, it's not bad. It's relatively healthy -- plenty of all main food groups . It costs maybe five or six bucks and yields probably 5-7 lbs of spaghetti. Throw in some garlic bread...

So this is really more for a Gen Disc topic but WTH... for the good person who checks in on my thread. I yield this gastronomical nugget: Tom's Beer Bolognese What you'll need: - A pound of ground beef, or chuck... etc. - About 12 oz. milk - 1 regular jar of spaghetti sauce - Half of a beer -...

The ex-US Army brother of the "wife" (roommate/woman) is gonna take me to a shooting range. There I'm being ordered to rent several weapons of different make and caliber and figure out which I like. So... hey, boys, I'm not buying one. I don't exactly feel comfortable given my situation, but...

FWIW, I like the tapered barrel better -- reminds me of the old-school Luger design. I am bound to buy a blue MKIII4 one of these days... probably for less than $300.

Yeah, good luck man. I can't stand thieves. Oh, to have a baseball bat and be in the same room... Background to my severe dislike of thieves: Around Christmas (maybe Dec 21 or so) of 2002 I was living in a house in the West End/Murphy Road area of Nashville. While I was out at my girlfriend's...

Like a single-action revolver? Also -- just saw a picture of a Ruger MkIII4 .22 in blue -- looks a lot like a Luger. I may end up with a drawer-full of Rugers, single-handedly pulling us out of the recession. hehe

LAR, I'm a bit of a night owl. I work at home most days, 9:30-6 (roughly), so I can sleep in a bit. I read up on the Ruger P95 and more than one reviewer said it's a solid pistol but it has a "mushy" trigger. One reviewer said he had a $100 trigger job done on it and it was suddenly a great...

Thanks for the Ruger info fellas. I'll certainly consider them, especially the P95 as competition for the Glock.

...because Energy = Mass * Velocity Squared IE, the FPS number is more important than the caliber. (.3 * 1700)squared > (.45 * 850)squared As my grandpa likes to remind me, speed kills.

This might be a doomsday scenario and is unlikely to happen... but follow me on this anecdote: - The Left recognizes that most gun owners are Repubs/Libertarians. They also recognize those groups' general penchant for state (and local) rights. - Arizona's new law to (basically) enforce...

In other words, a good eye can make the M4 as effective as it needs to be... Do US Army Special Forces, Delta, Force Recon, SEALs, DEVGRU (etc.) use the M4? Or do they just use pretty much any weapon they want?

thanks for the pics desidog. I noticed that one of those handles is bent while the other two are more or less straight. Does the shape of the handle make much difference? And re: Mosin Nagant... was that used in war; did it start in war? How is the Mosin Nagant action different from the Mauser...

Confirmed -- the woman (his sister) said he was an MP in Iraq. He brought back a few artifacts.

So boiling things down (I have learned a ton in a few hours -- thanks to all), for a starter bolt-action rifle in, say, 30-06 or .308, some pretty good options would be the Winchester 70, Ruger 77, CZ 550 and Remington 700 -- excellent bolt-action rifles at reasonable prices. The Parker Hale...

He was just 18 in the early 70s... and was in Iraq in some sort of MP or advisory capacity, in maybe 03-04 or 04-05. So he was in Iraq at the age of, oh, right at about 50.

1) Browning Hi-Power 2) Sig P226 3) Beretta 92FS ...based solely on looks anyway.

Ahh. (head spinning) So five good bolt-action rifle choices (among many others I'm sure) are: - Parker Hale - Mauser and derivatives (those that claim the Mauser action) -Rem 700 - Winchester 70 (maybe among the derivatives, but a major player, so I'll give it its own slot here) - Enfield and...

More like... welcome to guns. hehe

Well I just did a little research on the Mauser M98... and apparently they start at like $2000-$3000 for the real thing. So if I'm buying an actual Mauser in the near future, it'll be used. But it sounds like my questions have been answered: Yes, the Mauser action is damn good, but it isn't...
