    And are they surprised?

    Armoredman, I'm Jewish and think your poster conceptualized perfectly on the mindset of people (like myself) who were insulted my Senator Obama's comment. Once again we are running in to the issue of opinions. Just like nostrils, everyone has a couple (cleaned up for Art's grandmaw)...

    What other american milsurp can I get

    Scythefwd, If you go to the CMP website you can find fully functional M1 Carbines from $419 to $675. They also occasionally have M1 Springfields, M1917 Enfields, and rarely a Krag-Jorgenson or two. Lots of different choice if you extend your collecting to shotguns (Winchester Models 97...

    History question (for possible publication)

    I have to disagree. While there were many junk pistols (referred to as "Suicide Specials" in the press of the time). The break top DA pistols made by the big manufacturers (Smith & Wesson, Harrington & Richardson, Iver Johnson, and a few others) were considered quality pocket and vest pocket...

    Nksmfamjp, If by "CMC Standard" you mean his Shooting Star 8-rounders, that's what I carry. Although, I am starting to lean more towards his Power Mags. Sincerely, Prof. A. Wickwire

    My Frankford Arsenal tumbler died

    Afy wrote: The switch should be on the power cord. To find the shaft you will need to turn the tumbler upside down and remove the base plate. Inside the base you should see the electric motor with it's weighted shaft. Needless to say, this should only be done with the unit unplugged...

    My Frankford Arsenal tumbler died

    Strat81, The same thing happened to me. My case cleaner was humming and then nothing. After unplugging, I lubricated the shaft running through the electric motor (I used Kroil). The shaft has a weighted blade on it to cause the vibrations. Apparently the factory lubricant had finally worn...

    I bet this didn't end well....

    "Hey Joe, how's that bullet proof vest fit? Looks good, buddy. Just one more thing, I want you to hang on to this piece of bullet proof glass so we can test it." "Well, OK...but hold my sign, I wouldn't want anything to happen to it." Apologies to Bill Engval. Sincerely, Prof. A...

    NY state gun laws

    Ohen Cepel, Go to Handgunlaw and build a map of states that recognize your permit. For example my New York State permit is recognized by AK, AZ, ID, IN, KY, MD, MI, MT, OK, SD, TN, TX, UT, VT. If you get some of the non-resident permits (i.e. Pennsylvania, Utah) you can open up much...

    NY state gun laws

    West Point is in Orange County, not Putnam. From my understanding, as long as you do not live in Newburgh the same basic guidelines apply as in the rest of the state. I do not know how gun-owner friendly the Judge/County Clerk/County Sheriff are in Orange County. However, the County...

    I won't win, but I bought 4 tickets anyway. My mom is a breast cancer survivor and virulently anti-gun. Kind of ironic. Great idea and thanks to all involved. Sincerely, Prof. A. Wickwire

    Nationl Park and Gun carry showdown

    If you do the math, this works out to $1,211.83 per senator per year. Obviously pro individual rights senators are pretty cheap. What a misleading statement, even for the media. Sincerely, Prof. A. Wickwire

    New York Moves To Defend Gun Law

    Catalina25, I have to respectfully disagree. Just so you know, I grew up on the Upper-West side of Manhattan, I went to high school in the Bronx. I am a third generation New Yorker. As soon as I was old enough I moved out of NYC. If I never had to go back I would be a happy man. For...

    NYPD Lacks Gun Control...

    So, a firearm has been removed from its original location for destruction. A few days later is is "returned" from destruction. How does that work. (Yes, I know the answer) Sincerely, Prof. A. Wickwire
