    What would you have done?

    So someone pointing a firearm at me is "being polite?" We have a public range in the Ocala Forest. It is unmanned. When I go there, if no one else is doing so, I become the "Range Nazi" and see that the safety rules are adhered to. Although the Range Rules are posted on two 4'x8' bill boards...

    trigger pull on a Cricket

    The Cricket has a simple single stage trigger. The angles are neutral with a lot of sear engagement. It can be smoothed up a lot with just some light stoning. There is a vertical plain on the sear that catches the firing pin. This surface and the one on the firing pin that the sear catches are...

    6.5 Carcano Go/NoGo Gauge for rent?

    If you have to go beyond 0.010" with the tape you need to have a pro look at it. I doubt you would have a case head separation unless you reload. Even then, if you don't set the shoulder back when you size your brass it's not a problem.

    6.5 Carcano Go/NoGo Gauge for rent?

    All you need to check the headspace of a gun is the cartridge you shoot out of it. If you can just barely close the bolt on a factory round, you are good to go. If the bolt closes with ease, then put one piece of masking tape on the back of the cartridge and try again. If it takes more...

    New England Journal of Medicine at it Again!

    IIRC, there was a posting I saw on another board that your doctor was 400 time more likely to kill you than guns. Should we therefore ban doctors? The argument will be that they save so many lives that the losses are acceptable. The same argument can be made for guns; the number of lives they...

    Florida Legislature is raiding concealed weapons licensing trust fund

    I have called my local State Rep. My question to him was this. "I have a right to maintain and bears arms, recently affirmed by the SCOTUS. In Florida we were allowed to open carry a hand gun with out a license being required. When the new CCW law war passed, the State no longer allowed open...

    a piece by Kirby Ferris, via JPFO

    "The Democratic party is moving our way" And what way is that? Fascism? "Bush was going to sign the renewal of the AWB if it made it to his desk." He knew it would NEVER make it to his desk. I don't find Kirby Ferris or JPFO 'over the top' at all. Just remember what they (the...

    VPC stats show gun states have higher gun deaths.

    Just because a gun was used to kill some one it is not necessarily a bad thing.:D Note that this report does not make a distinction between good guys killed and bad guys killed. Of course "gun deaths" will be higher in states with more guns; more law abiding citizens fight crime by...

    Missing a lot of detail. From what I read. Nice enough people invite your wife and son over for dinner. Your wife and son finish dinner and leave. But the spouse (male from other couple) is not allowed on your property? Legitimate question. Some more info. At the time we...

    Corrosive ammo cleanup

    Chemically, the ammonia does nothing to the salts; it's the water in he Windex that does the work. Many believe that the ammonia works because of the old 'AMMONIA DOPE' used to remove cupro-nickle fouling years ago. It can ruin a barrel in short order. It does nothing for the potassium salts...
