    I don't get GB !

    I think things like this are a bounce back from the panics we had--I have seen such before at gun shows. We get a panic, everyone buys, the price goes sky high. Then when the panic abates, there are a lot of folks left with things that they paid way too much for, so they try to sell them to...

    case trimmmer: electric vs manual?

    If you are going to be trimming a lot of brass, go electric. Now that does not mean necessarily getting the special designed electric station, but at least you want an electric drill that you can easily use to run the trimmer. I am one seriously cheap SOB, but after trimming a couple o'...

    how did you fare through the ammo shortage .....

    I reload, so I only remember the primer shortage. And I did fine, as I tend to keep 10K of each (LR, LP, SR, SP) on hand.

    A soldiers weapons in Afghanistan

    Thank your son for me, and tell him that there are a whole lot of us back here that really appreciate what he is doing; more than he will ever know.

    My idiot moment today at the range

    I spent more than one frustrating range day sighting in a Mosin-Nagant 91/30. Tried different ammo, tightening the front sight in the dovetail, and all manner of adjustments. It was on the third trip that I realized, the dang action loosened up when being shot. In fact, tightening down the...

    Move to Maryland?

    Born and raised in Maryland (well, actually born in Washington D.C. but grew up in Bethesda), father and some brothers and sisters still live there; I left in 1976. You couldn't pay be enough to move back. I would consider Virgina, if the commute was short enough.

    Gonna build an AR platform, questions/advice

    If you are completely new to the AR-15 platform, then definitely buy a complete upper. While it is not a difficult build, there are one or two specially tools you will need to get it right. As to the AR-15 vs the AR-10 (that is 5.56 vs 7.62 NATO), both upper and lower are different, everything...

    Old Military Rifles

    For me, shooting is fun; but learning is sublime. I can do both by collecting mil-surp rifles, and building my own 1911s.

    1911Tuner, I have a question

    I am on a never ending quest to understand about 1/100th of what you do regarding JMB's creation. If I am understanding the above correctly, the barrel will be in full down position, with the back of the lower legs against the wall (the frame wall there). The slide stop pin should be in contact...

    Well, darn. In Florida and no gun.

    It is a storm, and when a good thundershower hits areas like Haiti, Dominican Republic, etc. someone always dies in a mudslide, flooding, etc. The press never passes up a chance for a bit of hyperbole.

    1911 Question

    I'm an old fuddy duddy. I prefer the 1911 in its original configuration. However, with age comes compromise. I can't see the doggone GI sights, so I must put better sights on my guns; however, I still prefer the look of the design as adopted in 1911.

    Wong gets 8 months

    Age has nothing to do with it. If you had had any interaction with him (as we did on a state firearm board), you would have known not to sell him anything. He was a complete flake!

    Truth or Fiction?

    It is the internet, we all shoot sub 1" groups a 1000 yards in a driving rain with 30 mph winds and a rabid monkey loose in our underwear.:D

    Before I place my order for an SKS and two Mosin-Nagants...

    Classic Arms is good A+ in my book. You are getting the same that I got (although years ago, before I knew about Classic), except I have not picked up the M44 yet. The SKS is fun and surprisingly accurate and the Mosin-Nagant is fun (with light ball ammo). Go forth with confidence.

    Were you an armed child?

    Shot .22s at camp. Had a BB gun. When I was in my teens, my brother got a 12ga shotgun, and we did a bit of hunting (16-18). That was about it. Not really armed. I think the only time my father ever shot a gun was in Army training, and even then (since he was a doctor) I don't know if he put...

    One of my kids got killed this week.

    Damn silverlance, I am so very sorry for your loss. You have my deepest sympathy and condolences. There are so few of the us "good guys" left these days; though I never knew your son, his passing truly saddens my heart.
