The first thing is to convince them that the AR's they see people own are NOT machine guns. Most gun grabbers know very little about guns. They see AR's on TV and they are always full auto. They hear the newsman describe AR's as "automatic" pretty much every time there's one of these...

I grew up with a trap range in my backyard back in the late 50's and early 60's. I saw hundreds of shooters over the time we had that trap machine. Not one of them ever wore protection. We did cover our ears when someone else was shooting. Luckily it was a long gun and not high powered most...

I have had some great dealings with the LGS's where I live. Like the guy who gave me a 30 day no questions asked return policy on a Taurus pistol he had told me about after I couldn't fine a Glock that fit my hand. It turned out to be a great gun. That guy has given me several good deals in...

Mine did and more stuff besides what's listed here.. BTW i will go on record saying Gander Mtn was the worst gun store chain of all time or at least tied for worst. I won't mention the other because they are still in business. I called a GM store asking about a particular AR about 2 days...

My bad experiences tend to turn into good ones pretty often. That's because I turn the tables on clerks (or LGS owners) when they try to get over on me. Two examples. I was looking to buy a Marlin 795 because they are light and make good squirrel hunting rifles. Gander Mtn. had two sales...

But I don't sell them until I've shot them long enough to know if they are shooting their best. I plainly said some barrels require a few hundred rounds through them to shoot their best. I've never owned any firearm I didn't shoot that many times and more.

I've bought lots of new guns over the years. I never "broke in" a single one of them. Some require being shot a while before ultimate accuracy is attained. I put that down to small burrs in the but of the rifling and the crown. Generally all you need to do is shoot enough rounds so that the...

My dad would always ask who won the fight I was in at school. My grandmother was a teacher there so him not finding out wasn't an option. No matter who I said won he asked me if someone went to the hospital. He would tell me no one won unless someone ended up at the hospital. Dad wanted to...

Both of the 60's I currently own were made after that date. The one with the high round count was made in the early 90's. It wasn't the only .22 I had for years but it was pretty much the only one I shot. I managed to do everything I needed to do with it (most varmint control) and I shot it a...

I love lasers. Many people consider them a gimmick but I can do things with a laser that would almost be impossible with any thing else. Like shooting from the hip with great accuracy and shooting around an object with my eyes looking around one side and a gun on another side. Tracking back to...

Really? I've put north of 150,000 rounds through a Marlin 60 and it still works fine. I'd like to see examples of what this looks like so I can watch for it. I no longer shoot that rifle like I once did but I still have it setup for a particular purpose. I've never had to polish the feed...

I'm hoping she will be teaching my grandkids to shoot someday after she's made her nest egg. She already bought the house. When she figures out there's more to life than money I think she'll start having kids. She already has several guns that I've given her. She still comes around to shoot...

I used to shoot 1000 rounds a day just plinking. Yes it is a waste of ammo to shoot that fast but it sure is fun. And that's the thing you want to encourage. I let my kids go through hundreds of rounds of 7.62 X 39 ammo in a day. They build their own swinging targets and then shot them into...

Hey I was gonna say that exactly! Now what do I post? Seriously you're exactly right. I want no part of the feds having the power to reject my right to carry concealed. We are far more likely to keep that right if it is a state issue. One more mass killing and the feds could change on a...

FWIW there are times when sellers are trying to pull a fast one and a few key questions will bring that to light and save a big headache. For example I was looking at an SKS some years ago at a flea market. It looked really clean and good and the price was lower than expected. To me that's...

I went to buy a Glock when I bought my PT-145. I couldn't find a single Glock that fit my hand. The LGS owner I was at last said I should try the Taurus. I was very skeptical at first but he gave me a deal I couldn't refuse. But it and try it out for a month and then bring it back if you...

Is there something about the settlement that isn't well known (it isn't a true recall)? I have a PT that i'm keeping because it shoots like butter but if there's more to the story I might change my mind.

I looked out my back door when I was about 3 or 4 and noticed we had about 50 people in our backyard. The reason they came was we had the only trap machine in 3 states or so it seemed. There were guys with shotguns at my house for years and some of them brought their really expensive Italian...

Every gun I own serves a purpose. One gun is a family heirloom. I guess I keep that as a collector although it is a very nice shooter. Everything else is bought to fill a specific need or as a backup for that need or as a progressively better version of a gun that fills a need (like carry...

AV programs always think any program that isn't totally mainstream is a virus. They list it as a virus because they want to tell you they can recognize any virus program even if it is unknown which is a poor way of doing business IMO. You could write your own program and have it called a virus...
