    Too many guns

    There's no such thing as "too many guns". (Unless you're a grabber)

    What was the latest gun you sold?

    I sold a Draco AK pistol. Looked cool but the balance was really bad and accuracy was poor. Good news is I sold it for more than I paid.

    Have you ever backed out of selling someone a gun, "just because", of a feeling.

    Yep. About 6 years ago I put a new Glock on backpage for sale in Arizona. A guy called and I gave him the address came by wanting to buy the gun. (Lesson # 1 Meet them somewhere FTF NOT at your home). I was asking near retail, he showed up, looked very young but was interested and had cash...

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

    Agree Horsey. I've already taken up golf. Here's 2 golf balls hit @ 563 yards: But the idea of a really precise rifle is interesting but not sure I can justify the price. Looking for some first hand experience with a Tracking Point.

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

    Insaw an ad on these and wondering if anyone here has one or has fired one? Looks interesting but it's some serious $$$$'s.

    avoiding ear damage with powerful rifles

    Was out shooting Boomer (Barrett .50) yesterday. It's very loud but much slower and very different and not near the 'crack' of some guns like the .300 Weatherby Mag. (And besides Boomer is more of a firm push to your shoulder than a Wetherby's ball peen hammer to your shoulder blade)

    Canadian elite special forces sniper makes record-breaking kill shot in Iraq - 10 secs to impact

    The only people who really know what happened likely aren't talking in the short term, so who among us really know? On the other hand, when it really counts, I'd rather be really lucky than really good. :)

    Federal judge blocks California's high-capacity magazine ban

    While this is a small hope, It makes me wonder how many of the legislators in California ever ran a business, or worked for a (non bureaucratic) paycheck.

    avoiding ear damage with powerful rifles

    Spend the money for the best ear PLUGS you can buy that are comfortable and have a high noise reduction. This might be the "moldable silly putty" type. Then spend the money for the best ear MUFFS you can buy that are comfortable and have a high noise reduction. You will be very glad you did.

    Canadian elite special forces sniper makes record-breaking kill shot in Iraq - 10 secs to impact

    None of us here know exactly what happened. And JTF2 probably isn't going to release the reported video due to operational security needs. And yes Canadian snipers have an excellent reputation, but we don't know specifics about their gear. So speculation will abound. Is a 2+ mile shot...

    Canadian elite special forces sniper makes record-breaking kill shot in Iraq - 10 secs to impact

    The flight time of a 750gr AMax round out to 3450 meters is actually about 5.5 seconds, not 10 as some reporter claimed. I'm not aware of any shoulder fired rounds that remain stable for 10 seconds. And the sniper likely just tracked the thug to get the angular velocity correct. But the...
