    Tell me about bringing a revolver to calif for a week stay?

    Interestingly enough, if the gun is holstered, unloaded and not concealed, it does not need to be in a locked container unless you are in a school zone or other restricted place. Empty gun in holster on passenger seat is completely legal. Empty gun in unlocked case is illegal. Our laws are...

    16 or 20 Gauge?

    I can buy 16 gauge shells at Cinco Grande (Big 5), albeit only in a 1oz "dove & quail" load. Reloading is easy, though wad selection is limited. The gauge really does "shoot like a 20 and hit like a 12". As a shooter, it's perhaps my favorite gauge. I really want a SxS 16 or an Ithaca pump. On...

    Favorite Single Action revolver?

    Favorite? That would be a Colt SAA (or accurate replica), in .44 Special, case-colored frame and good bluing, with replaceable-blade fully adjustable sights that don't make the gun mule's-butt ugly, at a fair production price from my FLGS. Too bad nobody actually makes such a piece. --Shannon

    P22, worth picking up?

    You better hope that no cops hang out here... because that's flat-out stealing. There are very few autoloading 22s that even match, let alone surpass, the quality and accuracy of that MKIII Trooper. And the P22, as fun as it is, ain't one of 'em. Not even close. --Shannon

    Best 22 mag rifle?

    I've fallen in love with the 22WMR My Wards Western Field (Mossberg Chuckster) is accurate enough for anything you'd want to use a 22 Magnum for, and just a ton of fun to shoot. The only downside is that they're tough to scope. You need a long-tube scope to get correct eye relief, because of...

    Shipping High cap mags to Kalli?

    It is also not illegal to possess magazines of greater than 10-round capacity in California, if you possessed them before the ban. They're also not registered or tracked in any way. --Shannon

    Is it legal to sell a stripped lower to a Cali resident?

    You didn't need to do that. An 01 FFL can accept shipment from a non-licensee. This is the case regardless of the State one is trying to ship to. You could have shipped it to the California FFL of your buyer's choice. --Shannon

    Trooper MK III .22LR

    What's even more impressive about the finish on the Trooper MK IIIs is that they were Colt's lower-line sixguns. The Pythons and Diamondbacks were the higher-priced items, and were finished even better that the Troopers. In other words, the finish on Colt's bargain guns in 1970 was better...

    Fs. Dumoulin & Co. Liege

    Assuming a good checkout by a qualified doublegun smith, (and they're not cheap,) then you'd likely need to investigate either blackpowder loading or the newer, "nitro-for-black" loads. Most (consider that to mean "all", unless you're sure what you're buying... and if you didn't have to...

    CA AB 962 signed into law

    To all of you up on your high horses about how we all oughta just move out of California (or whatever stupid way you want to misspell the name of our State)... Get bent. First, and foremost, what passes muster here will pass muster elsewhere, so you're not as safe in the so-called "free...

    I need a t/c lock

    You can also get L&R locks that fit the T/Cs, and from what I understand, they're better locks. Check here: LOCK-LR-03-F L&R's RPL-03-F Flint Lock to upgrade Thompson Center's Hawken or Renegade Rifle I think I've seen Siler locks advertised that fit the T/C guns... you'd have to look. --Shannon

    Who builds custom bolt guns?

    Eric, some things to consider... 1) If building a 500 S&W bolt rifle requires a magnum Mauser action and bolt, then there are many, many better cartridges than the 500 S&W... it's a handgun cartridge, after all. 2) Being a handgun cartridge, you're unlikely to get anything out of that 28"...

    k98 mauser vs. lee enfield

    The essence of the joke is that the Germans lost both wars, and the British won. In the real world, the Enfield action is something of a dead end, while the Mauser design dominates the high-end rifle market. I lack the technical knowledge to explain why this is the case, but it clearly is...

    Replicating DC v. Heller in NYC?

    DO NOT run out and file a challenge to the Sullivan Laws. Mr Gura, the SAF, CGF, and the rest of the usual suspects have a plan. They won't disclose it, and rightly so, for fear of tipping off the enemy, but there is one, and I'm absolutely certain that New York is on the list. Given the...

    Illinois Supreme Court to Release Opinion on Legal Gun Containers (People v Diggins)

    Actually, if you've never tried carrying a "man purse" you might want to... They're pretty cool. I often carry a WWI surplus bag (of unknown original purpose). It's about the size of a hardcover book, is divided into two internal compartments, and made of heavy-gauge canvas. I love it. I...

    Scout rifle scopes

    Work it does... pretty it ain't. The advantages are quick mounting, ability to shoot with both eyes open (unless you're me... very left-eyed, and very right-handed), ease of reloading, ease of hand-carrying... mostly about versatility and handiness. The disadvantages are limited...

    How well does a Yugoslavian 24/47 Mauser shoot?

    Dad's 24/47 shoots around 1.5-2" with commercial (S&B) ammo, 1.25 - 15" with handloads it likes. That's in the military stock, but scoped. I'd expect that, when he gets it into the Richard's thumbhole, with solid bedding and fully-floated barrel, it should get close to an inch. Nice gun...

    The Case against Incorporation

    What the 14th was designed to do, and did, until Slaughterhouse, was to apply the protections of the Bill of Rights to State legislative actions. The Bill of Rights is, I think we'd all agree, a list of "thou shalt nots" for government. These are the things that We, the sovereign People, do...

    The Case against Incorporation

    This, to the extent that it was ever true, (and the Supremacy Clause can be read such that it was not,) stopped being correct with the ratification of the 14th Amendment. There is no conflict between the powers (not rights... only people have those) of the States and the 14th Amendment. The...
