    Free Cell Phones. Why not Free Guns?

    The government currently provides low income people with cell phones because they need them and the system discriminates against low income people's basic needs due to cost. The same goes for food and housing. I think the same may apply to firearms.... it seems that low income people tend...

    I had a Dream...

    This is humorous and just a dream (but weird). You can tell I think about guns even in my subconscious... < (Chopped out my stupid dream -22 Rimfire-).... my first thought was gun ownership...> But the dream addresses something deeper that if laws on mental health are passed and...

    Origin of the 7-Round Magazine Limit?

    Has anyone figured this one out yet? 1911 semi auto handgun magazine? 7-round revolver cylinders? Or was it carefully chosen to make unlawful many or most of the existing detachable magazines? I don't live in NY, but I understand that they just made my Ruger SR-22P or Mark II/III illegal in...

    Gun Sales Up but Ownership Down?

    Found this and thought it was interesting and thought some might also. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/12/14/gun-sales-2012_n_2303513.html?icid=maing-grid10%7Chtmlws-sb-bb%7Cdl38%7Csec1_lnk2%26pLid%3D246622 If this is correct, it would indicate that sales are concentrated with repeat...

    AR's and the 6.5mm Grendel

    Would it be reasonable to buy an AR in 6.5 Grendel when you don't own an AR in 5.56? Is loaded ammunition available? This would be a rifle that would be not shot often. I have just never been that interested in getting an AR. I own a Mini 14 and that has always been enough to satisfy my...

    Under-Barrel Tubular Magazine 22

    Saw a Winchester Model 1890 (pump 22 rifle) in a gun shop today and it occurred to me that I don't know what the first 22 rifle that had the under barrel tubular magazine that you see on many 22 rifles made in the last 50 years???? What rifle had the first?

    Rossi Lever Action Rifles

    Anyone have any experience with them? I have been looking at their catalog and they have quite an assortment of rifles in different calibers offered. Are they reliable? Are the actions smooth? Reasonably accurate? Maybe somebody could compare one to the Marlin 1894 series as I don't have a...

    Smith Model 357 Night Guard 41 Mag

    Just finished reading an article in Shooting Times about the new 2.5" Model 357 in the black Night Guard finish. I'm not a snubby guy, but this gun has some strong appeal loaded with the 175 gr Winchester silvertips or some of the lower powered 41 mag loadings. The author, Joel Hutchcroft said...

    How many guns purchased in a typical year?

    This is a topic that has always interested me. If you read the forums, you'd think folks are buying a gun a month or more. That can't be normal, or is it? So how many do you buy in a typical year? How many do you sell? For me, for the last few years I have purchased about 5 to 7 guns...

    Shooting Shotguns at the Range? Why?

    I read all the time about folks shooting shotguns at the range, but I never see anyone doing it. Why shoot one at the range at all? Possible reasons include: (1) If you hunt birds, I can see shooting clay pigeons (trap/skeet) or simply shoot clay pigeons as a sport. okay. (2)...

    Bring Enough Gun

    Watching Outdoor Channel this morning. I didn't see the entire episode as I was working. But here is the deal.... hunter was using a compound bow for grizzly, in Alaska I assume.... that suggests very close range to be effective. They sight a bear and stalk it. Bear charges toward hunters...

    22LR-How many have a revived interest?

    We all have seen ammo prices climb about 30% or more in the last year. It has affected my shooting and spending habits. I have been shooting more 22rf now than before and spending my money on new 22 rifles instead of centerfire handguns or rifles. How many of you are in the same condition...
