I had a question come up in a discussion the other day that I couldn't answer, and was curious if anyone here knew. In Pennsylvania, as I understand the law, there is a distinction in some statutes between "force" and "deadly force." The distinction on which is appropriate under what...

Anyone out there use a Mossberg 500 (or similar model) with the factory Ghost Ring sights? If so, can you let me know where (or about where, since I know everyone has different settings) your rear aperture is located elevation-wise? I've been trying to sight in my gun at 50 yards, and I've got...

I believe this goes here. I did a search for this, but didn't find anything recent that addressed this issue. I was notified by email from the Pennsylvania Firearm Owners Association that on November 20th, the House Judiciary Committee will be considering moving three gun control bills out of...

I just recently got a GP WASR-10, and after some reading, took off the muzzle nut to find a threaded barrel. I purchased a slant brake from Brownell's (which fit fine), but it has only recently occurred to me that I have no way to prove it is a US-made part, and do not want to fail the...

I suppose this belongs in the gunsmithing forum, but if not, mods please move to the right place. I recently purchased a used Glock 30, and while stripping the frame (mostly because I wanted to, and also to check out the insides), I noticed that the gun does not have a trigger spring (part...

Yesterday, while waiting for dinner to be ready, my wife noticed my 8-year-old daughter reading a small pamphlet-type coloring book to my 6-year-old son. She was curious about it, and walked on over, and it turned out to be an Eddie Eagle coloring book / workbook for the kindergarten-1st grade...

He's not my rep, but I like the cut of his jib. He's advancing several pieces of legislation that are pro-gun: HB 641: a Castle Doctrine bill, like Florida's. HB 1029: allowing the PA license to carry to qualify as a PICS check HB 1161: requiring the State Police to discontinue their...

I got a couple CZ-82's from AIM the other day. Overall, I'm very pleased--both of them are shooters, the recoil is stout but not terrible, and in terms of fit and finish they're quite good for a couple of 22-year-old surplus pistols (in other words, except for some finish wear, they're in great...

Okay, so I have my C&R, and besides sending copies to the online retailers, I was curious about its use in over-the-counter transactions. I did a search on it, and didn't find anything that looked obviously addressing this assumption/question. I assume that, unless the store owner decides he...

Okay, here's a question. I just picked up a new Taurus 85UL, concealed-hammer version. Upon checking it out, I came across an odd behavior: When examining the cylinder lockup, I notice that without much effort--just a little pressure from my fingers--I can rotate the cylinder backwards (that...

First off, as per the rules here, I am not advocating, nor am I looking for information on, doing anything illegal; no intent to commit a crime here. However, I have a question that may simply be due to ignorance. I had the urge today to look up "full auto conversions" and see if it was...

This is mostly just an irritated rant, although suggestions* are welcome: I took my Taurus 605 to the range today to burn through some 357's (ouch) and a bunch of .38's (fun). The end result was some nice groups, some wild fliers, and a broken gun. I put about 150 rounds through it...50 .357...

No pics, at least not yet. Will work on that. Last weekend, I picked up a new Springfield Mil-Spec (the parkerized one) from Gander Mountain. I think I took a hit on the price--$560, and with fees, etc., around $600. I'm not really complaining, though, because I love the gun, and the money...

I have a Florida non-res CCW. I understand that (at least according to Packing.org) it is recognized by Ohio. But with the various local laws and ordnances (such as Cincinnati's prohibition on semiautomatic weapons) and the somewhat confusing wording of parts of Ohio's CCW law, it seems like...
