    Rossi M88 question

    Hello all. I recently picked up a Rossi M88 (stainless) used for $75.00. It seems to be in great shape, as it passes the Jim March revolver checkout. As I bought it used, there was no manual (and from what I can tell, Rossi no longer makes this model). Does anyone know if it is safe to shoot...

    Liberty Coach Gun

    Does anyone here have any first hand experience with the Liberty Coach Gun? I just saw one today and I'm curious about it, as I'm in the market for a SxS with real exposed hammers. I believe that they're made in Turkey (though I'm not sure on this). Thanks in advance for any and all...

    .17 HMR ammo still in short supply?

    The Hornady, and the Remington offerings in .17 HMR are in short supply. Most places I've checked have been either back ordered on these, or they're gouging ($12.00 and up for a box). The CCI .17 HMR does seem to be the most common these days, so perhaps I'll buy a brick.

    Protesting war with Violence...

    atek3, with all due respect, the violent actions carried out yesterdat in San Francisco were not the exception, they were the rule. And while some protestors may in fact loathe black bloc idiots, they do nothing to stop the black bloc from causing mayhem. What's that saying about lying down...

    Protesting war with Violence...

    Yesterday I witnessed a group of protestors jump on a man's car at the corner of Washington and Motgomery. They broke the car's windshield, and severely dented in the roof (by jumping up and down on it). I saw this from the window of my office, and I felt that I had to do something. I went...

    Small rant re: the "peace" movement

    Malone wrote: "It seems to me the stock market has been the most effective protest organization we've got. Every time it looks like we're getting closer to war, the major indexes dive like a submarine." You mean like the 282 point jump the Dow did today? Or the 51 point jump the NASDAQ...

    Small rant re: the "peace" movement

    Hoo Boy, it looks like we're in for more well thought out social protest tomorrow. At least the headline is more accurate as to what they're actually protesting: Anarchists to take part in S.F. march They say they're demonstrating against evils of capitalism...

    Small rant re: the "peace" movement

    More evidence that the "anti war movement" is actually an anti Capitalist movement. This morening a group of about 300 protestors converged in the financial district of San Francisco at 6:30 AM. Their goal, to shut down the Pacific Stock exchange. Around 60 were arrested at last count, many...

    Any good collapsable backpack .22 out there

    Does anybody know which CZ manufactures the Springfield Armory M6? Is it CZ Uhersky Brod, or CZ Strakonice? The reason I ask is that my CZ 452 (CZ U.B.) is a great rifle, but my .22lr AR-15 upper was made by CZ Strakonice and it's not so good. If CZ U.B. makes the M6 I just might get one...

    Looking for good 22lr ammo

    I'd like to second Wolf Match Target. It shoots better in my Ruger Single Six than $8.00 a box Eley or RWS, and it costs about $2.00 a box. What's not to love? It's my understanding that Wolf .22lr ammo is made by SK Jagd.

    IAI M1 Carbine Problem

    I have yet to be able to contact IAI on the phone due to the hours I work. It'll happen this week. I'm trying to avoid having to send it back to the company, as I hate to ship firearms if I can avoid it. Sending it back is my last resort.

    IAI M1 Carbine Problem

    Hello there folks. Well last Saturday I finally got to take the IAI M1 carbine I got for Christmas to the range. It was rough going at first, I had a few failiures to feed with a full magazine. The problem went away when I didn't fully load the magazine. I shrugged and chalked it up to the...

    Small rant re: the "peace" movement

    The Hollywood screen writers that got blacklisted may or may not have been engaging in acts of espionage. We don't know, as a case was never built. What we do know about them is that they were communist party members, which in and of itself is not a crime. They refused to testify in HUAC...

    Small rant re: the "peace" movement

    No Malone, I don't much care who sponsors what little of the television I watch. Why? Because, for the most part, all these sponsors want to do is sell me soap. If, however, the WWP ran a commercial (oy, the irony) during a show I watched I would stop watching the show, and I would write the...

    Small rant re: the "peace" movement

    Malone, with all due respect, I do listen to what the protesters have to say. As I live in San Francisco, it turns out that I have to listen to them quite a bit. The main protest organization here is International ANSWER (Act Now to Stop War and End Racism), well at least they're the ones who...
