    Why not a Wal-Mart $114 muzzle loader?

    If this were to be the first and only muzzle loader, one that you expect to keep for a hundred years and pass down, then I would say no, get something else. If you expect that you may like muzzle loaders and figure on getting another later, then I would say this is a good, inexpensive way to...

    Gun Shop Names

    Hmmm, a good name depends on your location, intended clientele and how visible you want to be. If you are in an area that you want/need to be inconspicuous, something along the lines of Abe’s Outfitters, but if you are in a friendly area, then have at it. How about: Abe's Anti-Yankee...

    The M91/30

    What really gets you in trouble is when some dealer has a sale or they list something as a "gunsmith special". Here are a couple that I got: Yugo 24/47: 2 for about $50 each. Both needed firing pins but otherwise great condition. Yugo SKS: Got them for about $39 each, but the bores were...

    book report: _Bourne Betrayal_

    I have read Ultimatum and it is one of the worst books I have read in all my life. I am glad that it was not made into a movie. At various random parts of the movie, the characters would talk about what happened in Paris. Ok, we get it, there was trouble in Paris so stop mentioning it ever...

    Finnish M39 pricing?

    I just missed out on a Finn at a local store for $138. The description said that there was light "rust spots" in the bore. I should have jumped on it.

    California Law Changes July 1 - Affects FFL Xfers

    Armedbear, I live just outside of LA, in Maywood. In LA, you have to provide a fingerprint when you buy ammo and maybe signature (I forget, since I don't buy too much in LA). Drive to another "city" and you just give them your money. Also, ammo sales are restricted on and around...

    If you have the cash, history awaits you.....Historic M-16 auction

    Reminds me of the Craigslist post were some guy was selling gen-u-wine World War Two ammo for something like $3 each. Nothing special about it, except that it was "vintage".

    Shoot cans in your living room!

    I saw one of these at a KB toy store about a year ago. My youngest loved playing with it in the store, but when it came down to it, she wanted the tea set. When I was younger, I had something called "Target Town". It was a miniturized Old west street and you had a shotgun to blast the...

    First Time Aim Surplus Purchase (M44)

    I usually call the companies whenever I order anything. That way I can ask for any unadvertised specials or if they have any "u-fix-ums". And boy do they make it easy to order.

    Should I stockpile ammo?

    Silly question to ask here! That's like asking if we like guns. :D Yes, stock up. You don't have to do it all at once if you can't afford to. Set a realistic goal based on things like caliber, available storage, etc. Then, just remember to pick up a box or two whenever you go to the store...

    Were you an armed child?

    Yes. At age 10, my Dad gave me what was my grandfather's Ruger .22 single six and then at age 11 I got my H&R .410 single shot. These were mine, kept in my room.

    Sheriff Taylor's Gun Rack

    Great show. I always viewed it as being pro-gun if anything because they showed guns as being a "matter of fact" and a tool when needed. Andy always got one when necessary but only when justified. I got the idea that Andy didn’t need to carry a gun because of how peaceful Mayberry was and...

    Just Received Two Purple Hearts, Navy Cross &...

    I would have to say that this would be a good service for the RIGHT reasons. That would be if you want a couple of high-quality medals to mount or to put in a shadow box, or maybe if you want to get some for family members to replace their's that got lost or stolen. In the Navy, I was a...

    What the heck is a BSA Sportsman-15?

    I was online and stumbled across a decent looking .22 bolt action and before I knew it, my credit card magically levitated out of my pocket and the rifle done got ordered. Here is the place I got it from: http://www.bdlltd.com/730-_BSA_Sportsman_15.jpg I spoke to the business owner...

    North Carolina Pistol Permit Required With C&Rs?

    Thanks for the replies. I had a feeling that the answer I got from the attorney was a typical "go ahead and do it anyway" response.

    North Carolina Pistol Permit Required With C&Rs?

    I have a question and cannot find the answer anywhere, so I am throwing this out to you guys. To purchase a handgun in North Carolina, you have to get a handgun purchasing permit from the local sheriff ($5). No big deal there, but what if you have a C&R license? Do you still need to get a...
