    Sniper Attack on CA Power Substation

    Read the article in the LA Times today ( Feb 11). The attack took place thirteen hours after the Boston Marathon bombings, and was clearly a well planned operation.

    Jack Reacher: the first film I've seen where I actually liked a rifle setup

    Liked the movie overall, but was annoyed by the two or three lines inferring that shooters are nut jobs.

    What's special about the S&W 340PD?

    They are so light you don't know you're carrying one, especially when worn on the hip. Five rounds of 158 gr. magnums weigh more than the revolver. All my snubs are light weight, alloy framed, but the 340PD is the one I use for EDC. Those few ounces make a big difference. Practice with light...

    M1 Garand. Go to the CMP website and review their grading criteria and selections still available. A service grade is a tremendous value for the money. Eligibility is fairly easy to establish if you carefully read the requirements and find the options that best fit your circumstances. I...

    Get a New Gun for Christmas ?

    A few days before Christmas I bought a Remington 700 Tactical while shopping with the wife. It was a special order that the customer never came back for. Since the store was having a sale on rifles, and Remington offered an additional rebate, I couldn't resist. I would post a pic but my son took...

    You can find vintage and reproduction posters on eBay. I bought a nice color reproduction exploded view of the Garand rifle for about 12 bucks.

    What's your 223/5.56 "zero'd" for and why?

    Download and print an M4 zero target (free) off the internet and follow the instructions. It will get you zeroed at 25 yards. That zero is effective out to 300 yards, and anything beyond can be dialed in with the 6/3 dial bellow the windage knob. Be sure to flip to the small aperture for ranges...

    LGS owner anonymity?

    I just read an article in the local newspaper about a new gun store opening in town. I live in a city of about 12K people in a rural part of Oregon. Having a new firearms business is welcome news as this city has had limited options for people in the firearms market. What I found a little...

    AR AR on the wall, who is the fairest of them all

    Colt 6920's are selling for less than they were in 2008(Pre panic). I just saw a NIB 6920 listed on AuctionArms with a "Buy it now" price of $1099. Auction ended with no bids. At that price I think it would be hard to find a better AR than Colt.

    HK drops USC

    In thirty years I have never seen one of their products at the range or in the field. I don't know anyone who has ever owned or even fired one. As mentioned previously, they're mostly seen in movies and video games.

    Sent an email expressing my support and appreciation. Even if you're not one of her constituents, she needs to hear from us that we are watching and taking notes.

    The sheer joy of firearms

    I've never really thought about why, but I've loved guns my whole life. My father had an impressive collection in his den, all lined up along one wall in a built-in gun rack. My sister and I would go in there just to stare in awe. He grew up loving them as well and bought his first firearm when...

    How many Garands out there?

    Don't sell the Garand short just because its old. It's still a badass rifle. Much less expensive to own and shoot than its replacement, the M1A. Surplus 30 06 about half the price of factory .308, an abundance of inexpensive clips instead of expensive and sometimes scarce magazines. I can't...

    Winchester 9mm Black Talon

    The same time Black Talons were on the market, Remington offered a similar self-defense load called Golden Sabre. I was amused how much a brand name affected the perception that one was menacing, sinister and inhumane while the other recieved no attention at all by the media. I also recall...
