    Judge berates Brady group in Lucky Gunner settlement

    I don't know about that. Last I heard the Brady Bunch was pretty broke. They're not really the trendy popular anti-gun group anymore so they're having trouble getting donations. I personally wouldn't want to see the family penalized for this. Really the Brady's go out of their way to try to...

    The THR 1851/1860 Club

    It's just the standard Uberti bluing. Just the lighting playing tricks on you.

    The THR 1851/1860 Club

    Oh I didn't mean to imply that. Just wanted to explain my admittedly weird reasoning for not wanting an ejector on there.

    The THR 1851/1860 Club

    Finally got to taking a picture of my new '61 Navy. I know how to use the ejector rod. I guess the issue has more to do with the fact that it kinda clutters up the look of the gun and puts extra bulk and weight right out there on the barrel. I'd just rather leave it off. See post #13 in this...

    Colt Square Back Trigger Guards

    I guess Sam Colt just thought they looked cool. And Ruger just copied it from there. Though there is a practical side to them. When cocking a cap and ball revolver it's good practice to flip the barrel to point it in the air when cocking back the hammer. This ensures that the spent cap falls...

    The THR 1851/1860 Club

    Kirst gated conversion. And a Uberti factory conversion barrel for the correct .357 bore. I heard the factory conversion barrels may not fit the C&B frames because of a slight difference in the dimensions. Personally I don't see why Uberti would just randomly change the dimensions of the...

    The THR 1851/1860 Club

    Got an Uberti '61 navy coming in tomorrow that will be getting converted. Wonder why the '61s aren't more popular.

    Why do Gun Manufacturers sell guns with phoney supressors?

    Same reason people put breacher chokes on their shotguns. You know, incase you have to breach your own doors when someone breaks into your house. it's all in good fun.

    Best load to shoot down small drones

    Somehow I feel that when it comes to shooting down drones, the more important question is what kind of trouble you may or may not get into for it. Not which is the best load. Pretty much any target or bird load will work for a RC heli. It's not like they're armored. If anything I'm sure a...

    Why are the employees at the LGS/Range armed?

    Because most gun stores I've been to have a pretty long counter and the employees are constantly going from one end to the other to retrieve different guns or help different customers. As well as going the back room or onto the sales floor to help customers. A shotgun under the counter isn't...

    H&R pardner pump 12 gauge

    The Pardner Pump IS an 870 copy. The receiver is the same with the only difference being a squared off ejection port and a hump back. Other than a few cosmetic differences the PP is a straight clone of the 870 and all parts will interchange. 870 barrels will work but you need to make a spacer...

    Breaking In a New Barrel

    Perhaps. But maybe not. I know guns and engines are two different things. But on any internal combustion engine, yes, even modern ones. There is a very specific break in procedure that will help the engine run better over it's whole life and it's very different from just running it as normal.

    Breaking In a New Barrel

    I believe the whole "break in" thing started in the black powder days, and just kept going as a common practice. Except it was really seasoning and not break-in. The process was to pour boiling water down the bore constantly until you could feel the barrel get hot. The run several patches with...

    Winchester SXP Shotguns Question

    The thing with the SXP is that Winchester, in their all knowing wisdom, decided to make a separate 4-shot and 5-shot model. The 4-shots are usually all the sporting ones. Field, slug, etc. The 5-shots are all the Defenders and the Camp/Field Combo. The barrels between the two are not...

    Remington 870 bolt opens when fired

    Not a problem. Most pump guns do this to some degree. It's simple inertia. As you shoulder suddenly stops the gun's rearward movement from recoil, the bolt will continue to travel back. Especially if your hand is already putting some rearward pressure on the pump (tucking the gun into your...

    The dry firing myth

    I would say it's a case by case basis. Most firearms made in recent years will likely dry fire just fine all you want. Some won't. My Winchester SXP shot the tip of it's firing pin across the room when I dry fired it once. And it was only about maybe the 30th time I did it. Granted, I DID buy...

    AK-74 has 2 bayonet lugs?

    Yes, it does serve to support the cleaning rod, but that could be done with a simple loop, while the one on the AK74, has the actual cut outs that would let you clip a bayonet to it. If the muzzle brake wasn't in the way. That's what I was asking about. Thanks briansmithwins. I figured that was...

    AK-74 has 2 bayonet lugs?

    Just noticed this. Why does the AK-74 have 2 bayonet lugs? One on the gas block and one on the FSB. I know the AKM uses a lug on the gas block since the bayo hooks on right in front of the front sight and the butt of the bayo reaches back to the gas block to clip on there. On the 74, because...

    Pistol grip only semi auto shotgun kit

    Yes, it was made by Sage International. Called the Sidewinder. I believe it was only available for the Rem. 1100. It's basically a kit that moves the recoil assembly from the stock tot he magazine tube, under the handguard. A company called Elite Tactical Advantage is supposed to start (or...
