I went to Cabela's today... the store in Glendale, AZ. I went to get some titegroup for my reloading bench, but I saw a Marlin 795 sitting in the rack and I've been wanting a new one for awhile to replace my aging, long in the tooth and abused Marlin autoloader. I had cash in my pocket, I was...

Any user reports on the new run of AMT Backups made by High Standard? I've got a bunch of .400 corbon ammo lying around without a gun ever since I got rid of my Glock 21 and its conversion barrel (didn't like the Glockiness of it). High Standard has a factory offering of a .400 corbon...

"Common Use" seems to be our enemy for our next goals, folks. We need more military-level equipment to be in common use as a result. May I suggest? 1. We all make it a point to put together short-barreled rifles (SBR's), get the permits for that, then to the same rifle also attach a...

Independence Day (July 5-6, 2008) Payson, Arizona Appleseed Ladies and Gentlemen, you've heard of these shoots on this forum. Now, those of you in the Phoenix/Payson/Show Low/Camp Verde/Winslow area have the opportunity to participate in an Appleseed Shoot. Over the weekend of July 5th...

I just got this email from NRA-ILA. Those of you in AZ, this is serious stuff. Get out and attend one of these meetings, and bring a friend/son/daughter/wife/other with you. Show some numbers and scare these cockroaches back into their holes. Posted on TFL and Appleseed also, but this...

I attended an Appleseed shoot. I learned a lot about shooting a rifle for real. I will never again shoot from a bench. I am the bench. After this class, I feel truly that I own my rifle. I became so much more familiar and gained ownership over it. I learned six steps to firing a shot...

I have a really beat up marlin .22 that I'd like to replace with something nicer with aperture style sights. I want a .45acp carbine, also. I've been looking at Ruger 10/22's and used Marlin Camp 45's, and then I realized that uppers exist for these calibers on the AR platform...

The NRA-ILA just sent me a newsletter. It spoke with glowing praise of the recent Parker v. District of Columbia landmark second amendment ruling. I am SO horribly offended by this. The NRA did everything in its power to scuttle this court case and AVOID a second amendment derived...

To honor victims? Come on.:barf: This is first-class victim worship. Idolize and enshrine the weak, so you can make more people weak, so they can become victims. It's a self-feeding machine and it started with the west's basic misunderstanding behind Ghandi's movement in India. MLK...

In light of the Virginia situation, I thought maybe we could spend some brain cells while coming up with suggestions that might save lives in the future? I was sitting here thinking: What could I do if I were in a lockdown with a live shooter somewhere in the same building? I came up with...

Minuteman Civil Defense Corps April Border Operation, April 1-30, 2007 My Experiences, April 9-11. I arrived at the Minuteman base camp in the Altar Valley south of Three Points, Arizona at about 1:00 in the afternoon on Monday, April 9th. The camp is approximately 35 miles north of the...

I want a low powered fixed power scope for my M1A Scout 18". 4x max, 25-40mm objective lens size. I don't like "scout" style extended eye relief scopes. I tried it and took it off. I don't care for the off-balance feel it generates. I have an ARMS #18 mount to go directly over the receiver...

Anyone notice in the new movie out, Shooter, in the scene where the cardinal is shot from 1800 yards away: The sound of the gunshot arrived about 1/4 second before the cardinal was hit? With a muzzle velocity of 2900fps, a 50BMG projectile is still moving around 1400fps at 1800 yards...

Going for elk this year in August in a part of Arizona that has some pretty wide open rolling hills and high altitude pasture. Visibility is amazing, both for me and for the game. My rifles in the safe include a Winchester 94 in 30-30, a Springfield M1A 18" Scout, and a Mosin-Nagant 91/30 in...

http://www.nraila.org/Legislation/Read.aspx?ID=2813 Phoenix area folks, show up at the Chandler Library on Thursday, April 5th to give 'em an earful on this issue.

How much are they going for in your neck o' the woods? Only one I've seen here in the Phoenix area was asking $629. Ouch. I paid $450 for my 5.5" redhawk 3 years ago, and $629 hurts.

I'm going to buy either a used Smith & Wesson 29 or 629, or a new Ruger Redhawk 4" in the next month here. There's a BIG, AWFUL, UGLY REASON that I won't be buying a new Smith.:neener: Can someone give me some good links to study up on what all the hyphen numbers mean in Smith-ese? The...

I wanted a new 1911 to replace my Charles Daly... I was a bit concerned over its long term reliability due to the extensive use of cast components in it. It fed and fired fine, but I wanted a truly reliable carry 1911. I was looking at Springfield Armory. I have an M1A from them I am happy...

It has no co-sponsors. It is driving sales like mad. I've fallen victim to it, and I'm sure other folks have too. I've spent about $1100 thus far since I've heard of it, on a new 1911 and an M14 receiver. I've committed to building a complete M14, no small task. I've bought several...

Who can give me some guidance here? I've been loading 45acp for about 4-5 years for a Glock21 and a Charles Daly 1911 using plated RN bullets from Berry's or Rainier, as well as occasionally Hornady XTP 200gr bullets. Total to date, about 6K plated RN bullets and about 500 hollowpoints...
