    Tikka discharged out of battery

    I use One-Shot on my rifles because it doesn't leave an oily residue that can get gummy in cold temperatures.

    Tikka discharged out of battery

    I'm not particularly interested in the inner workings of a totally unrelated rifle at the moment. But, thanks for taking the time to post. :scrutiny:

    Tikka discharged out of battery

    SwaneeSR - I purchased the rifle new in November of 2012, and I haven't had any other problems with it. But, beyond a few trips to the range (maybe 4 or 5), it hasn't seen much use. It has never been to a 'smith. Ironically, my go-to rifle is a Remington 700 Mountain (also in .270win) that...

    Tikka discharged out of battery

    243winxb - thanks for that link. It seems to describe a similar failure mode (obviously, on a different brand of rifle).

    Tikka discharged out of battery

    I also don't see how it could be a trigger issue, as the bolt was half way back when the round discharged.

    Tikka discharged out of battery

    I don't see how it could possibly be a hang fire.

    Tikka discharged out of battery

    Sorry for the lack of description and pictures. I'll try to get some pics soon. As to a description of what happened... My brother had been using my Tikka T3. He had a round in the chamber, and we were heading back from an unsuccessful day of hunting. So, he dropped the magazine and proceeded...

    Tikka discharged out of battery

    My Tikka T3 discharged while unloading it during a recent deer hunt. The bolt was half way back when it fired. Tikka wants to see the rifle, so I'll be shipping it off to them shortly. Has anybody heard of any similar issues with Tikka rifles?

    Need quick purchase advice - Remington R1

    Thanks for the suggestions. Don't know if I'll use the R1S for carry. I have others for that. This will likely be a range gun. At least for now.

    Need quick purchase advice - Remington R1

    Bought it. Thanks for the input, guys. My first 1911. I'm excited to see how it stacks up against my trusty P90.

    Need quick purchase advice - Remington R1

    So... Decent quality with a good reputation in its price range, and a good sale price? Sounds good so far. Is there anything I'll have to do to it right away to ensure reliable service, or do the R1's run well straight out of the box? (After an initial cleaning/inspection, of course)

    Need quick purchase advice - Remington R1

    I've never owned a 1911 before, so I'm coming in a bit uninformed. There is a stainless R1 on sale for $450 after the rebate from Remington. So, my question is... Walk away, meh, or grab it quick? Im looking for opinions on price and quality, please. Thanks.

    Any other instances where having a CWP/CCP creates a legal disability?

    Neither of those suggestions will ever prevent irresponsible people from being bad parents, which (if 'trouble kids' are getting a hold of firearms) is what I see as the problem. Are you willing to go as far as passing a law making it illegal for foster parents to own knives, or other sharp...

    Interesting win for ammunition company.

    I'm not clicking on a link without some kind of description of what it leads to.

    SBR's, braces, and the ATF

    Given the nature of the language in your citations, those are certainly fair criticisms of my logic. I'll have to ponder this for a while... Although, citing the ATF letter that 'clarifies' the issue is a little like saying you believe that the chickens are safe because the fox guarding the...

    SBR's, braces, and the ATF

    Perhaps 'leading' isn't as accurate as 'moderating'. In any case, thank you for indulging me. I have to wonder... Just how incontrovertible is such precedent if it has never been challenged on the basis of the legal definitions of the firearms in question?* Well, I'll grant you that...

    SBR's, braces, and the ATF

    Sam, since you seem to be leading this discussion, perhaps you would allow me the liberty to pull back just a bit more of the curtain for a moment (or, perhaps go a little "further down the rabbit hole", as it were). Consider the relevant portions of the legal definitions of pistols and rifles…...

    SBR's, braces, and the ATF

    I think the pill that folks are choking on here is not that the ATF can regulate SBR's (which, as much as folks may not agree that should be the case, is clearly within their authority), but rather, the ATF's redefinition of the term re-design. The new meaning that they have assigned to that...

    Marlin 336 .35 Remington Strait Stock

    I agree that the scope adds no value. But, if you want 'em, original sights can be found relatively cheap. At the gun show last weekend, a guy was selling a set (complete front and rear) marked at $25. If a Skinner peep is going on, what's the value in having the rear sight anyway? It's just...
