I hope the mods will see clear to leave this in this forum- and forgive the double post- I am shocked and can only shake my head in disbelief when I look at the number of views, the number of posts, and general activity on the "Activism" section of this message board as compared to other...

It's come to this in nj: http://c.ymcdn.com/sites/anjrpc.site-ym.com/resource/resmgr/DS-Email/MEMORANDUM_Feb_8.pdf 23 bills that include seizures and in-home inspections. My God, the LAST thing I want to consider is having to make a choice between my life and my guns - I am a public school...

I bought one post 9/11 "just because" and paid just under $1000 for it. It's in .223, fixed stock, and let's pretend just for argument's sake, that the barrel had standard threads added to it later. It doesn't even look like it would be worth the original $1k. I was always taught that if you...

This guy took photos from a current gunbroker auction : http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=291389380 and then created a fake listing at http://www.gunlistings.org/colorado-gun-classifieds/denver/all/92906/fs_colt_python_elite_6_stainless__.357_magnum I contacted the...

The prices of Colt Pythons are downright scary right now- anyone know why? Sometimes I see when a particular gun is in a popular movie or something the price spikes for a year or so and then takes a nosedive. I'm interested/concerned because I've been wanting to get a nickel python 6" for a few...

I have the opportunity to purchase some lake city .30-06 at about .67 a round. Vintage is 1950's I think. They are on stripper clips (Garand I guess) It is 150 grain ball. Opinions of Lake City surplus .30-06 from this era or in general/. How to you guys feel about practicing with this...

Can anyone recommend an air rifle with the following? : First it has to be a pump or spring- NO CO2! and no charging via scuba or CO2 tanks Second, Accuracy has to be very good. Third, multi-shot BB is a must. I don't think there is multi-shot pellet, right? I can find any 1 or 2 of...

Looking to add an AK to the collection and was hoping for some tips on where money is best spent. Gun Shows seem to be more popular on the East coast in winter so I am going to be patient and probably collect info and look to purchase at one of the shows. I would like something not only good...

I sent an old airgun to an "airsmith" for repair. It was returned in working order, but he could find a screw for the rear sight and returned it with the rear sight epoxied in, shooting 2 feet low, and obviously damaged with pliers- it is bent, there is raw metal showing where pliers scraped and...

Sig Sauer P239.... I have 2 barrels/springs, 1 in .40 and the other 9mm- both on the same frame. Only in .40 and only with certain ammo it doesn't hold open on last shot. I have a 9mm barrel/spring (Bar-sto) which seems to work fine with 115 and 124 9mm in several different brands. No...

I bought some 2X2 to make a new folding target frame and wanted some input on the fine details from you guys- like what kind of hardware you might have found exceptional to lock the legs (I'm using wing nuts now and they work so-so) and what dimensions might work best- for the latter I am...

I hope this is in the right spot. Mods, please move if it isn't. As far as our diet is concerned, my family eats ONLY wild game and has done so for at least the last 15 years or so. During that time I have learned to use pretty much every part of a deer and can prepare it well enough that it...

Hey fellas- I know there are ump-teen gajillion threads on spotting scopes but the offerings change so often I thought it wouldn't be rude to ask for a new thread right now. I need to see .22 holes at 300 yards and I'm not willing to pay a lot extra for any advanced features such as laser...

I think my father will give me a Ruger MK I but I want to know what you guys think about them because even a gift of a pistol to me is inevitably going to involve a considerable amount of time learning the parts, field stripping, investing whatever I can to upgrade it. I would like a .22 auto...

I'm not new to handguns and own some great ones- a 1968 National match, a few revolvers, a sig 9mm for home defense.. but never really had a use for a .22 until now. My club has a silhouette range that requires .22 only. So what best fits the following listed in order of importance- and I'm...

A fellow shooter I work with was thinking abuot trying to piece together a clip-fed .30-06 on a Garand action. I don't know much about non-sporting pieces, is this an easy mod, is there anything out there like this? I think the goal of the project is a very accurate clip fed .30-06 capable of 20...

I mentioned on the last thread I had some brass deformation/damage and wanted to see what you folks thought. Maybe this is normal, but I never experienced this on any other handgun/rifle so I thought I better post while this rifle is only a few weeks old. This is 1990's production DAG. It fed...

New DSA Fal mags- (3) 10 rounders (2) 5 rounders, VERY difficuly to unload despite 15 mins each of light oiling and working the springs. Maybe I am just used to .223? They seem as if the round will not slide completely forward and out, most of the time they slide about 1/2 way forward and then I...

I will probably end up buying a Mosin in the next few weeks and I see many are packed in cosmoline- from what I have read it generally has a melting point of 115-125 degrees. I also read constantly about guys spending an entire day getting rid of it. Is there an easy way to do it? I was...
