    Couldn't resist

    If you can't tell the difference between an old SW and a new SW, I'm not sure what to say. *Shrugs* Enjoy your shooting!

    Looking for a GI Style 1911 - for Cheap

    If you want a 1911A1, be sure you want a 1911A1, then buy a Rock Island and shoot it until your hands hurt. If you ever think you'll upgrade anything, do it now and buy something with night sights. It's cheaper to buy than to upgrade to. But if all you want are GI sights and an A1 profile? Buy...

    Justice Kennedy to retire, Trump can solidify court's conservative majority

    But at the same time, since I was a young renter I've said that you should have to have positive equity in your land/home to vote. I understood that I had no clue compared to people that actually paid into the system when it comes to voting. So should the BOR only apply to landowning males...

    Justice Kennedy to retire, Trump can solidify court's conservative majority

    There's the thing, anyone trump nominates and the Senate approves will be as much 2A as Kennedy. The only thing Kennedy was fully "liberal" (I hate the words liberal and conservative, for how much they've been molested from their actual meanings) on was gay rights. All the people on Trump's...

    Justice Kennedy to retire, Trump can solidify court's conservative majority

    This has baffled me as well. Anti-trumpers are crying out about lack of respect for rule of law, and trump is actually wannabe dictator, all while supporting the parkland kids and screaming about how 2A is obsolete, while all of my "liberal" friends have asked me about gun ownership on the DL...

    Couldn't resist

    Have you ever shot an *old* N-frame? The trigger is something that simply has to be experienced, the new S&Ws are a box of sand in comparison. Other anecdote is on finish. Right when S&W introduced the "classic" line, I didn't know they had. I saw a really nice model 28 and asked to see it...

    Justice Kennedy to retire, Trump can solidify court's conservative majority

    Kennedy was a swing vote in name only, this isn't nearly as big a deal as if Ruth had kicked it. The court makeup won't really change unless trump nominates and the Senate approves a candidate that believes precedent doesn't matter.

    O/U shotguns; I don't get it?

    *sees thread, reminds me I really should be in the market for a 20 o/u to go with the .410 and 28* To GunBroker to drool!

    10mm auto from a revolver ballistics

    As a fan of 10mm, I guess I'm confused as to the point of a 10mm auto in a revolver. You're throwing .357 energies to juuust touching 41 mag, all while spending more on ammo and more on reloading components than if you just stuck with .357, and have to fight with moon clips. Why not just run...

    Does the Browning A5 kick more than normal?

    As has been mentioned, look up the friction system and how to check/adjust it for the Model 11. You actually have to adjust it between upland loads and heavy loads like turkey, buckshot, and slugs. If you shoot heavy loads with the friction system set for upland loads, you can actually crack...

    Filing a Form 1 -- and then sitting on it

    That's exactly why it was requested and by whom. As always, "follow the money". But I serialized the thread adapter since it's the absolute least likely part to be damaged. front endcap is stupid since it's the most likely part to be damaged. Second? a tube split, accompanied by an endcap...

    What is the point of .22LR hollow point plinking ammo?

    This is the internet. I assume anything posted after 10PM, local to the poster, is alcohol induced. It's part of why it really irks me when people don't fill out their location in their profile.

    Researching 7.62 AR 10 Style 16" Carbine Battle Zero

    Exactly. No 16" 308's were issued for battle (maybe a para FAL? Maybe?), so a battle sight zero just doesn't exist. With your preferred load, shoot it over a chronograph, plot the rise/fall, and determine your acceptable rise/fall. that will give you your maximum point blank range, which is...

    Scope Ring Height and Rimfire Rifles

    Go as low as possible that you can still get a good cheek rest. So if your rifle has a raised cheek piece, you might not want to go so low. For me it's easiest picking rings for a previously iron sighted rifle, since then I know I want to be as low as absolutely possible (for me, maybe not for...

    Marmots, 17 HMR, 50 yards, ethical?

    Some of us don't like "getting our hands dirty" and have a certain respect for life. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with dispatching an animal or the person that does; some people just prefer the animal drop like a wilted bunch of broccoli when hit. I have no input on 17HMR vs marmot...

    who makes a sxs doublebarrel 12g with 3 1/2in chambering?

    2 3/4 to 3" isn't worth the bump, and 3" to 3 1/2" isn't worth it. But in the turkey magnum loads, a 3 1/2" shell has twice the shot as a 2 3/4", so if you are really, really stretching your shot it could make sense to go to 3 1/2 from 2 3/4. Not saying I ever would, just that I could see why...

    My "Rat Rifle" project

    Have you though about shimming the scope mount to get more elevation? Like a 20 MOA mount on a long range rifle? As you know, you'll never get past the parallax issue, but I don't see why canting the scope couldn't get you closer to being on target in the middle of the scope elevation...

    Filing a Form 1 -- and then sitting on it

    My approval date was XX/XX/XX, which was before FR Doc. 2016-10382. From reading up on it, it looks like the rule hasn't actually changed yet. Even though I didn't immediately build my silencer, I serialized the barrel mount and put it in my parts box. If the reg passes that the tube has to...

    Filing a Form 1 -- and then sitting on it

    Nope, no time limit, and your build has to comply with your approval date. I form'ed a silencer and paperwork came back, then the "serial number has to be on the tube" came out from ATF afterwards. I serialed the muzzle mount since it was OK per my documentation.

    What long guns are best to SBS/SBR?

    I guarantee it's the AR, because once you SBR the lower you can do whatever you want. Long barrel? Short barrel? Stock? No stock? Brace? All A-OK. And chamber it in 300BLK, and you carry 45 acp muzzle ballistics to 200 yards from an 8" barrel using all standard AR parts. There's no reason not...
