    My New Yugo Underfolder(pics)

    Well, the 30 rounders are good for 2 1/2 dozen zombies; the 40 rounders can take 3 1/3 dozen. As so often is the case in life, it all comes down to how many zombies you think you're going to have to deal with at once.

    bill in VT proposes to make statehouse off limits to carry

    Interestingly, this same legislation just came up in neighborhing NH: Nashua Telegraph Report The state rep who proposed the legislation (Kjellman) cited the VA Tech incident as evidence why people should be disarmed in the state house. Ahem. That's right, she cited an example of a "gun...

    OT: Irrespective vs Irregardless vs Regardless

    Off topic is right! But before the thread get's locked, I'll offer my 2 cents. :) Irregardless. Use of that word drives me nuts too. However, it IS a word. Repeated common usage of the word has made it so. I was exasperated to find it in a dictionary -- Webster's I think -- about five...

    Buying ammo in NH

    Update First, apologies for not doing a search prior to posting this thread. After searching I found quite a few threads -- most which originated last summer -- discussing Wal-Mart's "new" policy on selling ammo. Most of the threads were related to the 18/21 ages and rifle/pistol distinction...

    Bedside bolt actions.

    Normally I do mind, unless the picking-on is in good humor. But I'll just go along with it this time to humor you. Be warned though: expect to be treated much like you treat others. ;) I'm guilty of thread-creep -- no doubt about that. Though I did also address the OP's question. It's...

    Bedside bolt actions.

    For those of you who keep long-guns in your bedroom, are they secured in any manner? Same question goes for pistols and revolvers I guess, although these are much easier to secure in a bedside table drawer, small cipher-lock safe, etc. For the record, I think a bedside bolt gun is a...

    New Ruger 10/22, Wally World Exclusive?

    Dang. The dollar ain't what it used to be. Ask me again tomorrow and I'll probably have reason to say the same thing.

    New Ruger 10/22, Wally World Exclusive?

    Interesting. I was looking at 10/22's a couple years ago, and the choices seemed to be "wood stock + blued barrel" or "black synth stock + stainless barrel." I remember telling the store owner that if they had a "wood stock + stainless barrel", I would definitely have bought it. It's a really...

    Two SKS questions.

    Quick perusal of simonov.net yields this: http://www.simonov.net/magazines.htm I'm sure a search of THR would also be fruitful. And I'm sure someone will chime in momentarily talking about his experience with aftermarket magazines.

    Two SKS questions.

    Identifying the country of origin: http://www.simonov.net/uberid.htm As far as detachable mags, I don't know first-hand. Usually people recommend against it. I believe there are some models of SKS that work better with detachable mags than others. Perhaps that simonov.net website has...

    Talk to me about Hi Point carbine

    IMO if you're getting the Hi Point for cheap fun, then it only makes sense to get the 9mm version. That will let you shoot cheaply as well.

    Talk to me about Hi Point carbine

    If you're just looking for a fun/cheap plinking rifle in a pistol-caliber carbine, the Hi Point isn't a bad choice. I'd consider the 9mm version over the .40 S&W though -- 9mm ammo should be noticeably cheaper and easier to find. Also, if I recall correctly, the Hi Point was running about $179...

    Why does Paul have an A rating from the NRA?

    Sure: http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=h110-1096 Just click on "Summaries" or "Full Text" to read what it's about. This is taken from the summary: If you scroll down on the main page, you'll see that he's introduced this bill or something very similar for 7 straight terms in...

    Why does Paul have an A rating from the NRA?

    I'm not sure if the NRA has issued new grades since the 'B' they gave Ron Paul a year or two ago. The 'B' was indeed a result of his opposition to the bill protecting the gun industry from lawsuits -- I believe his objection was that it strengthened the interstate commerce meddling powers of...

    Buying ammo in NH

    I figured it was not a NH law -- at least for the ammo. Do you know if the FID card for long-gun-buying MA residents is NH law, or store policy?

    Buying ammo in NH

    If I had a local gun store, I'd be happy to get my ammo there instead of at Walmart. Unfortunately it's at least a 30 minute drive to any gun store I'm aware of, whereas Walmart is right next door. I don't get out much, gas is expensive, and Walmart has very low prices on plinking-grade .22LR...

    Buying ammo in NH

    Yeah, in the Seacoast region (Epping). It's about 20 miles to MA. If I get the chance I'll call the store and ask to talk to the manager there, at the very least.

    Buying ammo in NH

    I recently tried to buy some .22LR at Walmart here in NH, but I was rejected because I have a non-NH driver's license. I was told that out-of-state license holders need to show a "FID" (or maybe "FOID") card in order to buy ammo. Walmart probably does this in NH because MA residents are...
