    Rhumatoid Arthritis and Shooting

    I was diagnosed with RA about 5 years ago, although I suspect I've had it most of my adult life. My problem is the strength in my hands and wrists (plus other big joints) is gone. I am having a hard time racking the slide on the average auto. Revolvers are a little easier, but holding a 40+ oz...

    AK-47 For Self Defense

    While I realize that, with the exception of some inner city areas, this country is a LOT less violent than Iraq... I find it interesting that we are disarming the residents of Fallouja of their RPG, mortars, missles, and other "heavy" weapons, but they are allowed to keep their AK-47s for self...

    40Super

    40Super.... are there folks shooting this caliber? Reloaders? I know that it must have taken a big hit (no pun intended) with the demise of Triton Ammo. However, I've heard a rumor that another company is going to pick up where Triton left off. And this is one hot round. Lone Wolf...

    Spotting Scope

    Now that the wife and I have started our rifle shooting pursuits, I find that my memory has faded with the years :D Geee, how could I forget a spotting scope? Well, I lost a couple of points with the better half. Now that I've seen the light (or not, as the case may be) how about some...

    Freedom Arms Warranty

    I was just browsing over on the Freedom Arms Web site and noticed something that I think is odd. The field grade, which sells for little less than $1600, and ... "The Field Grade is made with the same materials and machining tolerances as the Premier Grade." has a limited one year warranty to...

    Magnum Research BFR

    Does anyone have one of these? I was thinking about getting one, probaby 454Casull, maybe 500S&W. I already have a Taurus Raging Bull 454Casull. The other choices are Ruger SRH and Freedom Arms. The later are excellent, but pricey. The SRH, I've read, has had some problem with cylinder binding...

    Definition of "Big Bore"

    What is definition of "big bore" when applied to handgun caliber's? .357 and up? .400 and up? Any and all comments welcome. This is a similar topic to "what is a big block engine" in automotive circles. Thanks.

    Labels

    I've got some reloaded ammo that I bought at a gunshow. The plastic boxes have labels on them that have spaces for just about everything relevant... powder and charge, bullet type, (of course) caliber, etc. Are these available from a supplier? Of is there something availvable on the net that can...

    The Irony of James Davis's Life and Death

    I remember watching the movie "Conair". There is a scene in which Steve Buscemi's character is talking to Nicholas Cage ...."define irony. Irony is riding in a plane that's about to crash listening to a band that died in a plane crash"... (probably not the exact quote). The band, of course, was...

    Gun Range Licensing

    Does anyone know if a gun range has to be licensed by any part of the federal government (EPA, ATF etc)? A local range went under with no explanation or notice. The building wasn't owned by the range operator. I renewed a month ago (for a year), and went by last week to find that the building...

    How about a challenge to the anti gunners. Ask each one to put a sign in his/her front yard stating "This is a gun free home".
