    Questions about a possible Alaska move.

    I'm considering taking an offer to relocate and work in Alaska. I'd like to hear about the experience anyone has had in doing the same and what they did to bring their firearms along- especially anyone who has moved a large number of firearms (50+). I have other offers on the table in several...

    Standard hypocrisy

    When you own one, it’s a fully automatic assault rifle. When the government owns one, it’s a semi-automatic rifle. At least it’s clear their verbiage doesn’t stem from ignorance. https://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2019/07/11/fbi-reward-semi-automatic-rifle-stolen-agents-car-oakland/

    Good 'ol fashioned hypocrisy...

    Two articles on a Chicago alderman who's in trouble for corruption (no surprise here). As you may guess, he's a hardcore gun control advocate. Article 1 Article 2 So, FBI raids his office and finds 23 guns. What a mess that city is in.

    Upper receiver now classified as a firearm.

    Upper receiver now classified as a firearm. This only applies to bolt action uppers, and apparently on to 50 BMG thus far. Their reasoning is that because the operation of the action is independent of being attached to a lower then its functionally as a firearm is unto itself and should be...

    Scope of DOJ authority?

    Feel free to move this if it doesn't belong here. I just read this article on Fox about how the POTUS is directing the DOJ to ban bump stocks by changing the definition of a machine gun. This has already been mentioned by the administration isn't anything new, but how the ban was proposed...

    What's this tool for?

    Just browsing this site and ran across this "12 bore cartridge extractor and whistle". What's the purpose of adding a whistle to this thing? Was this a manual cartridge extractor that was used in case the cartridge didn't extract? Is this a big game tool? Was the whistle used to alert other...

    Can you ID this rifle?

    This article is about a woman, a former KGB agent no less, that's won a 4th gold medal in the biathlon. Anyone know what rifle she shoots? Does everyone use the same rifle more or less? I don't need to ask to know that they're on the pricey end of things.

    CCI Stingers

    Is a legislative compromise possible?

    Any congressional act involving gun laws doesn't necessarily have to be one-sided- correct? Wasn't there a time when those we call representatives would bend and yield on the things they wanted in proposed laws which left neither side with everything they wanted but left each side with...

    moon clip without tools

    How difficult is it to add/remove cases to/from moon clips without the use of specialized tools- ie., by hand? The new Redhawk 357 I have came with 3 and I've never used them before- only speed loaders up to this point.

    Weatherby moving

    "...Roy Weatherby’s grandson, cited strong economic incentives from the Wyoming Business Council, as well as more freedom to develop new products without onerous legal restrictions as reasons for leaving California." (italics mine) Not surprising. A real shame things have come to this...

    What are these?

    I was perusing the interweb for GP100 stocks and saw these on Hogue's website. Now, forget the grips and tell me if I'm seeing an optical illusion or is there some kind of cap/cover that fills the scalloped portion of the frame just behind the cylinder? I've zoomed in and I've zoomed out. I...

    Coffee table gun storage

    I never was a fan of hiding/storing guns in furniture, but I'd make an exception in this case. Incredible craftsmanship... Coffe table (Youtube link)

    CMP 1911 mags

    Has anyone bought/used the CMP 1911 mags? They have some on their e-store and I was going to buy some but apparently my club membership info is out of date and I need to resend it. If they're quality mags I'll resend my info, if not I'll stick with Midway/Brownells.

    Need advice with Ruger snubnose.

    I have an SP101 (model 5720)- the 2.25" barrel with bobbed hammer. Works flawlessly. Eats anything I've put through it. I really like it but refuse to carry it because it groups to the right. Targets set at 10 yards. Off hand, I consistently get groups 6" to the right of the bullseye...

    22 Long and Short in 22 LR chamber

    I understand that 22 Short and Long might leave a lead ring in the chamber when fired in a 22 LR firearm. At least that's what I've read. 1. Is it safe to do? Safe if the chamber is routinely brushed? 2. What kind of impact on accuracy is there? 3. What I'm most curious about is what is...

    Bottom pour technique

    How do you guys manage your pot of lead? Maintain a level close to full by regularly adding back sprues and rejects and the occasional ingot? Drain it down to near empty then refill? I usually cast until it's no less than about 3/4 full before adding more lead- I like the high head pressure...

    The Art of Bullet casting

    So, I finally got around to buying the CD from Wolfe Publications that's a compilation of articles on casting dating back to the 60s. It's made for really interesting reading so far and I feel like I got a steal of a deal since there's hundreds of articles. I'm posting this to share some old...

    Redding 30 Carbine resizing die

    Can anyone tell me if the the Redding sizing die in the 30 Carbine 3-die set (mfg # 80180) has a carbide sizing ring? None of the retailer's descriptions say and neither does Redding's site. Thanks
