    certain misdemeanors and wisconsin state?

    Wisconsin has a handgun hotline, not NICS. The state uses NICS for long guns. I would try to buy both and see what happens. Or apply for your concealed carry license, it's a similar, if not the exact same, check they use for handgun purchases. Both are administered by the state DOJ. There was...

    Cabela's sent me mismatched, dirty ammo

    And FWIW, BSA1, you said in another thread, I think the ammo should have been clean and correct.

    Cabela's sent me mismatched, dirty ammo

    So you'd be okay with purchasing ammo that was obviously factory seconds, marketed as regular ammo? And ammo that is obviously grimy?

    Cabela's sent me mismatched, dirty ammo

    I don't think Cabela's inspects every round they sell. Are you concerned that I actually think that? So what if this is or isn't the biggest problem I have? When I pay for something, it should come as advertised. Whose fault is it? They are the retailer and should stand behind their product...

    Civilian Mauser

    I passed on the rifle after I was sent a closer photo of the action. Aside from zero markings... It's clearly a military rifle and not the Oberndorf civilian Mauser the guy alluded to. He was asking $600, and after reading the comments here I was at less than $200.

    Civilian Mauser

    I thought perhaps there would be some value to it, as well as functional for my wants. The guy was nice enough call me with details, but I think it odd there's not factory or Mauser-brand markings anywhere on it. I will probably pass and just keep looking.

    Civilian Mauser

    $600. The guy says it's an Oberndorf, but there's no markings on it whatsoever. I have not seen it in person - it's an hour drive, so I wanted to be sure what exactly I'm going to see and what, generally, I would offer. I'm looking for something unique to use for deer, fun at the range, hang...

    Civilian Mauser

    I think this may fit what I am looking for, but I have a few questions I hope someone here can answer. Value, if indeed a civilian Mauser? Does the rifle appear to be correct? Or is it a good sporterization? What markings should I be looking for? It's a Redfield peep sight, which I assume...

    Cabela's sent me mismatched, dirty ammo

    Update - Cabela's said they would refund me. They did, however, say, explicitly, that they were giving me the refund because of my dissatisfaction with "perceived" flaws in the ammunition and that the ammunition is 100% and not flawed in any manner. They said that dirt and grime are exactly how...

    Cabela's sent me mismatched, dirty ammo

    These rounds were surely not sold as "seconds" or anything other than "the same thing our troops have" ... If I would've opened a can of 9mm like this when I was deployed, I would've given it back to the supply guy and told him to give me something that wasn't junk. To add insult to the injury...

    The gun hobby crowd needs a better image

    Were Ted Nugent's parents unwed at the time of his birth, or are you just being tasteless yourself? "Kettle, this is pot. You're black."

    The gun hobby crowd needs a better image

    What I tell every person who is displeased with the NRA: the NRA is THE gun lobby. There's not a close second. We're lucky the most entrenched gun lobby actually works to protect the Second Amendment and not "compromise" it away as would some other "pro-2A" organizations. We are also lucky the...

    Cabela's sent me mismatched, dirty ammo

    This is the first and only time I've had a problem with ammo I've purchased online. I purchased 500 rounds of Winchester 9mm NATO from Cabela's, but when it arrived I noticed some mismatched brass marked "WMA" instead of "WCC" - every round I've seen prior was marked WCC. The WMA-marked cases...

    Road Rage Shootout in Milwaukee

    I think my favorite part is where the guy says he was "mean mugged" by the other. Know what I do when I'm driving in Milwaukee and I get "mean mugged" by others? Shoulder shrugs. I hope someone "gets" it.

    Road Rage Shootout in Milwaukee

    Here's a great story about what NOT to do! Like a "Monkey Dance" with cars and guns... from the article: "Two Milwaukee men — each with a state permit to carry a concealed weapon — traded dozens of shots in a rolling shootout through two sides of town and down a freeway, the kind of...

    How many magazines do you like to have for a given gun? Why?

    I would hardly call it unsuspecting when I tell them upfront the mags have seen thousands of rounds, need springs and I show them photos of the magazines they are getting. If someone is willing to pay me $60-70 for a well-used mag that I paid $15-$20 for a decade ago...that's his or her problem.

    18th birthday gun

    My first pistol was a privately purchased S&W Highway Patrol .357...back in 2000 for $249. Just gotta find someone willing to sell to an 18 year old - many, many private sellers are completely ignorant and/or irrationally afraid of private sales that don't comport to what they believe the rules...

    Anybody give their kid a gun name?

    I once knew a girl named Beretta. There's worse names, I guess. Just pick a name that you think suits who you want your child to be - the name will partly define who he is due to other peoples' perceptions and associations. This is all the more true the more rare a name is.

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

    I recently switched from an Aimpoint back to irons. I zeroed at 25 meters with the small aperture, and use my large aperture (50m) for most shooting.

    How many magazines do you like to have for a given gun? Why?

    I just got some more in the mail...which brings my magazine totals to: Glock 19 - 28 mags Glock 26 - 5 mags AR - 24 mags There's no upper limit. I buy new mags often to keep far ahead of wear out. And when some of my old G19 mags seemed like they were getting too worn and on the way out...I...
