Good luck, Dave. People with goals tend to do better with stuff like this, and I know that you've got one.

For my girl, 8 was the right age -- after three years of her asking, finally the mental responsibility and physical coordination modules all came on line together and sync'd, and she was ready. It's *her* gun (CZ Scout rifle; highly recommended) but obviously it sits in *my* safe, and I'm with...

עַל יִשְׂרָאֵל וְעַל רַבָּנָן וְעַל תַּל So to look forward in the prayer: Upon him and his students, and his students' students ... may you have much peace. Which is probably what he wanted for you and all of us, and hopefully what he now has.

Hey, guys, I just wanted to say "thanks" for all the wisdom this past year. Much appreciated! Best of luck in 2008.

Do whatever Pax says If she says, Kahrs, it's Kahrs. If she says rocks, I'll be asking her what shape and weight. --middlechainringguy

Biathlon So what's the pedal-power equivalent of our foot-based brothers' and sisters' IDPA and ISPC? Anyone in Central Texas up for joining me in setting up a concealed carry biathlon? ARC has land and berms and nice roads nearby, and so does Karl at KR Training ... seems like we could make...

Thanks, Hauptman. Left-right yes; up-down no.

Really basic question: Are fixed sights truly "fixed" (i.e., impossible to adjust)? Or can I adjust them with effort (and if so, how)? The reason I ask is that I was shooting a friend's 9mm last weekend, and the point of impact was WAY off point of aim (even adjusting for my low skill...

Keep it High Road This is disintegrating quickly. And from my limited experience, ArmedBear's willingness to contribute here is one of the reasons to keep coming back. Time probably for all of us to just be quiet for a bit ...

The gods descend 1. This has been hugely helpful. And somewhat embarrassing. Which is useful, correctly applied to the ego in a light coat, like Rem Oil will be to my gun. Thanks, team. 2. So you post a dumb newbie rust-based question on Shotguns and ... the gods descend, and they're...

Thanks, guys. Flagons of mead all around ...

I just swapped out a 26-inch barrel, which I had not used in two years (I know, I know), for a new 20-inch barrel. As I put the old barrel away, I was SHOCKED at the amount of rust that a basic cleaning revealed on the “old” 26-incher. And this is on a gun that I had stored in what I thought...

Thanks, thr team -- this is great. So: it's a reduced powder load, but for typical HD uses, probably the right way to go?

So until recently, I was never much of a "gun guy" -- my wife was in a pistol shooting club when we lived overseas, and since moving to Texas we have had a shotgun for "Texas golf" (that's social trap/skeet to those of you outside the Republic,) but to be honest I lived most of my life without...

All the major ammo manufacturers seem to have a "lower recoil" 00 buckshot load -- Winchester Winlite low recoil, Remington managed recoil, Fiocchi reduced recoil, Federal power-shok low recoil, probably others. And searching the archives shows that at least some of you like these loadings for...

That shocks me Wow. Librarian: thanks, I think, for that stat. So almost 30,000 Americans per year are killed with guns. I would have guessed an order of magnitude less. What are we doing/should we do to get that toll down? Granted that some large number of those deaths are victims...

That is so good. Bravo!

Revolver As a handgun newbie, it is much easier for me to tell that a wheelgun is loaded than a semi. For me, that counts for a lot. --middlechainringguy
