    If you even think you'd like an AR, you're not welcome here.......

    Perhaps that is where we're going wrong. If we can't stop the "protected class" malarkey, perhaps we should embrace it and use it as a weapon ourselves.

    Huge news in IL (CCW, removal of Chicago AWB)

    Madigan can and has blocked HB 183 from passing in the Senate. He did not stand in the floor of the House and spend 12 minutes telling his troops why he was ordering them to vote for SB 2193 to have Cullerton interfere with his plans. Cullerton can either pass his (Madigan's) bill...and...

    Huge news in IL (CCW, removal of Chicago AWB)

    No he didn't.....you and they extorted from him support for a statewide Shall Issue Law with Preemption as the price to save darling Lisa from the repercussions of having to appeal the 7th circuit's decision to SCOTUS. Did you listen to his closing statement in the debate? We had the votes and...

    C&R application question (Illinois resident)

    Outside IL, probably not....you can use it to buy a C&R in any State as it's a Federal license. A dealer in MO or one of the other neighboring states may see things differently, or just refuse to sell to you because you're from Illinois. But inside of Illinois you are still subject to the...

    Last chance for Illinois members to act

    I think it was more an attempt to be relevant than anything else. He knows full well Speaker Madigan and Senate Pres. Cullerton want a AWB, he figured they might run with it and then he'd be a hero once it passed. But his meddling was seen as a intolerable challenge to their power, not to...

    How long guns firearms stay in circulation...

    I've got a French Mle 1873 Ordnance Revolver made in 1874...still solid and quite accurate. A quality firearm will last centuries if taken proper care of.

    Interesting talk with Beretta

    The rep probably didn't know. I've done CS and there is often a lot of information the client doesn't tell the CS people specifically because they don't want the public to know it. There is also info they will give with the strict order not to divulge it to a customer. They wanted the s/n to...

    Modifying post-ban AR-15

    Replacing the FSB is the only option to get a bayo lug on that barrel, you could send it in to a gunsmith and have the FSB replaced and the barrel threaded. Depending on who you go to, this could be the cheapest route. The other option is to purchase a barrel assembly with a FSB and barrel...

    8 ways the Media does not understand gun onwership

    There is basically two types of anti-gunner. The useful idiots who believe guns have magical power, akin to Sauron's Ring, to force people to do things they wouldn't otherwise do....and the cold and calculating fascists who consider the average citizen to be thier enemy and want us disarmed so...

    New Improved Remington .22 'bulk' ammo

    Tried Thunderbolts and it leaded up my 10/22 so bad the bullets were tumbling at 25 yards before I'd even gone through a box of 50. I like thier LRN standard velocity target loads and the rebranded Ely stuff but for the most part I avoid Remington ammo. Supposedly Remington had finally...

    And the Purist Scream

    If you've ever read Larry Ruth's books on the M-1 Carbine, he documents how the Prime Contractors, coordinated by the Army, were constantly swapping parts to maximize production. He said that on average every Carbine made once full production began had at least one part from a different Prime...

    How the 9x19 NATO managed to become the standard choice....

    That wasn't it... SOF had a detailed article about the trials at the time. The two winners of the competition were the SIG P226 and the Beretta 92, Beretta won on price. Glock didn't enter the competition, I believe because they weren't ready to build a factory in the US at that time. The...

    traveling thru Ill will handgun

    It's a felony here, and most likely they will prosecute you as hard as they can. Keep it unloaded and cased in the trunk, if they don't ask, don't tell and don't agree to let them search the vehicle if they do pull you over. It would probably be wise to avoid Chicago as well, or at least don't...

    What will the Anti's blame for deaths now?

    The only people in the Anti movement that believe that nonsense are the superstitious fools who think firearms have magical power...like Sauron's Ring....and compel their owners to commit crimes they otherwise wouldn't have. But they aren't in control of the movement, thier main role is to be...

    What's the oldest gun you own ?

    Mine is a French Mle 1873 Ordnance Revolver, made at St. Etienne in 1874. I've shot it a few times...works great!

    Jon Huntsman on guns

    Ambassador postings, especially for places like China, Japan or Western Europe, are normally reserved...by both parties to be fair...for people who helped the POTUS get elected. Crappy Third World countries no-one wants to go to are the domain of career Foggy Bottom apparatchiks. They can do...

    What will the Anti's blame for deaths now?

    The 'Gun control' lobby isn't about guns....it's about control. They don't care about gun crime...in fact they welcome it as long as the people pulling the trigger are what the Reds called "socially friendly elements", that is professional criminals. They passionately hate and fear the common...

    Jon Huntsman on guns

    There is also the fact that the same people gushing about how wonderful he supposedly is today will be railing against him as a baby-eating monster who also wants to repeal the 13th Amendment the moment he became the nominee....just like they did with McCain. He's pretty much McCain without the...

    Why can't guns just be for fun?

    A M1 Carbine is a rather efficient weapon out to about 100 yds, especially if you use soft or hollowpoints. They're even fun to shoot. :p

    What is the last gun that you bought?

    Bought a S&W MP-15 lower Thanksgiving Day weekend, and a S&W 5.45x39 upper from CDNN....making a MP-15R to shoot some of that cheap milsurp 7N6 floating around. Before that, a H&R M12 target rifle from CMP's bolt action blowout sale.
