    Collyer Brothers Gun collection

    Two guys owned some guns, got harassed by their neighbors until the day they died and then the police stole their gun collection. Somewhere, probably long destroyed by crooked New York policemen, was a report listing the contents they took control of when they emptied the house. Maybe a FOIA...

    .22 target league

    Shoot anything you like the first year, get an idea what works for you. If you can find a nice Victory, you could buy one because they are great guns and would be a nice add to the collection. There are several companies that sell a nice drilled and tapped replacement barrel for later High...

    How to handle a gun deal

    The deal is for the full amount at the time the gun changes hands,period. If he sends a gun and no money, send it back. During the ban years I sold a dozen AR mags to a guy with similar behavior. The ad said, "USPS money order only", he agreed and send a check. I was about to send it back...

    Accurate .22 for under $750?

    You can still find the occasional Ruger MKII Govt Model out there for under $400 bucks. I do not care for the plastic Ruger pistol grip personally, but almost all newer models of 22 are tapped for a scope rail and an Ultradot type red dot sight would be affordable and keep the entire package...

    What is the last gun that you bought?

    A very mint, late 1965 Springfield Armory rebuild Garand. The place was completely shut down and done less than two years later.

    Under attack in Idaho

    Are you Bi-polar or otherwise using any medications that control mood or mental function? I'm not intending to be rude or anything, I just think you should tell people up front if you have a history of instability. This whole premise sounds like someone is off their meds and posting all night...

    Mossberg 500 into a Mossberg Shockwave.

    Turning a shotgun into a pistol or unlicensed AOW is a great way to end up in prison. Why not just buy a Shockwave or any of the current generation of "firearms" and avoid prison? I'd trust that Mossberg and Remington have complied with the law long before I'd guess and do it myself. I once...

    Proficiency level for National Match

    If you can handle your rifle safely and follow range commands correctly, come shoot a Garand match. You do not need all of the equipment most guys carry to shoot, it just makes it easier and can actually improve your score. Most guys will loan you their spotting scope, shooting mat and even...

    Camp Perry... Public use???

    I've shot the National Pistol Championships there several times, it is a nice enough facility if it is not raining. Plan on a day or time when the CMP has their North Store opened and go see what they are selling, maybe buy yourself a Garand. If you are inclined they have a Small Arms Firing...

    According to preliminary results, Swiss overwehelmingly voted to implement the EU Gun Ban

    Socialism will load them up onto rail cars and send them off to the concentration camp soon enough. The funny thing about a police state where only government appointed goons have arms is that they almost never use those weapons to defend the citizens of the country against either criminals or...

    Source for calcium carbide for sight smoking.

    I got a one pound can at the local army surplus store, it should last about 30 years. I use an old pellet tin to store some in my shooting box, a wrap of electrical tape keep sit sealed and moisture free. If you clean your sights occasionally, the build up does not effect your shooting.

    Ever attend a marksmanship event during the Olympics?

    I'm not sure they can legally have a shooting even in California. Quite a few competitive guns are not on the "approved" list and most of the pistols for a few sports have a magazine in front of the trigger guard, making them terrorist weapons of some sort. It will be interesting to see if...

    Tracking Point: Do you have or tried a Tracking Point rifle?

    I saw two of them at a local gun store when they first got press. Two local gadget geeks squandered major cash to buy them. They have never been fired to my knowledge. The concept depends on overly expensive hand built factory ammo or reloads with SD of less than 10FPS. It seemed like the...

    Is there some method of storing CCW handgun when entering Canada?

    Easiest solution is to avoid Canada and stay away from New York state. I think you have just as good a shot at prison for, "taking it to a gun store for storage" in New York as you do for carting it into Canada. Other than putting it in a Ziploc bag and burying it for a few days, your next...

    Does a Browning .30 caliber machine gun fire. 308 rounds?

    A 1919 fired 7.62x51mm or .308 Winchester after it was invented in 1952. It would be unlikely that anyone in WWII would have used it. That being said, it is a movie. It is far easier to find and make .308 blanks these days than actual 30-06 blanks.

    B. Rizzini Vertex, anyone own one?

    I have been shooting sporting clays for a few years as an extra hobby with a few shot gunners I know. Typically, I shoot my M1 Super 90 with an assortment of choke tubes, this gun was my 3 gun shotty for many years an I swapped it back to the 28"bbl with the extended mag still on the gun...

    Is It Required to Prove Self Defense?

    Offering too much information, being stupid enough to think law enforcement cares about you or volunteering information that will lead to your conviction and imprisonment are all options other than the lawyer. Having a lawyer does not exclude you from noticing witnesses or prevent you from...

    Is It Required to Prove Self Defense?

    My home county regularly charges people claiming self defense with murder, about once or twice a year. Every person willing to spend money on a lawyer gets acquitted. The last two that come to mind were a man who ran to the defense of a woman getting beaten to death by her ex-spouse and a man...

    Now I know why eye protection is a good idea.

    Closer to the 200 to 300 rd mark. I have a buddy who likes to buy junk gun for some reason. His Phoenix fell apart on it's first trip to the range, probably 100 rds of CCI and the slide exploded. I watched him shoot a Jennings 25ACP until it died for an experiment. It took about 100 rounds...
