Dear All, I figured that I would ask this question on the board, as it seems germane to S&T. How, if at all, have you changed how you have acted in response to economic conditions. For example, I know that scrap metal has gotten more valuable, so alot of people have locked up their air...

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/chi-gun-protest_web_15jun15,0,1884762.story Dear All- This really gets me steamed. Hopefully all gunowners can help "vote with their wallets" and buy some quality DS products as a form of "counter protest." Just my 2 cents.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/24725781/ They actually described gun owners has hardworking people- and even neutrally discussed the rising costs of assault rifle ammo- accurate because I guess AKs and M16s and the semi-auto clones both use the same ammo.

Dear All- I am acquiring a J-frame for CHL, and I was wondering what the best pocket holster would be. I will be carrying in loose dress pants of the dockers variety, (old navy brand), and I am wondering what pocket holster to use. I am looking for something that is very good at...

Dear All- I am planning a trip to New Orleans. I am a current TX CHL holder, and I have reviewed the LA statutes relating to thier CHL permit, which I understand will be applicable to me. I am left with several questions- 1. What are the "gun free zones" it discussed in the statute...

Dear All- I have the opportunity to buy a sporterized and scoped Mauser in 7x57 Mauser. It does have the familiar disassembly of the Turkish Mausers and German 98Ks that I have shot, however, it also has a stepped barrel on it. I am wondering if there were any model 1898 mausers...

Dear All- I have been saving for a long time, and I now think it is time to get a nice deer rifle. I already have a Marlin 30-30 for close range, but I would like a scoped bolt-action rifle for longer range. I am young (23) so whatever I buy will last me for another 50 years of...

Dear All, I have a model 28-2 HWY Patrolman in 357 Magnum. While shooting a fast string of 38 specials out of it (say 50 cartridges in 20 minutes) I noticed that the ejector rod began to come lose, as well as the top sight strap (the screw was backing out). Is there a perminent...

Dear All, I see the CMP has 22 kimbers for sale. Do any of you know how these rifles are- i.e. are they worth the price/accurate/etc. I would appreciate any advice on this. Thank you for your advice.

Dear All, Since I have been away from home, my neighborhood has seemed to have gone down the tubes. There was a break-in today, in broad daylight, across the street from our house. My mother is now ready for self defense training. I have suggested she familiarize herself with our...

Dear All, I have seen that Tromix makes nice builds of 5.56 AKs on the Saiga platform. However, I have also seen the Arsenal builds- both use Bulgarian Waffle mags, as I understand it. The Arsenal builds are more expensive, but, I am wondering, what is a better platform? Is the...

Dear All, I saw a Jc Higgins model 50 in 30-06 (FN Mauser action) for sale today at a local gunshop for $230. IT was in decent condition. What can you tell me about this gun- is it a true large ring mauser, how is the quality on it, etc. I would be interested in buying it as a deer...

Dear All, I recall reading some threads, in which the growth of anti-RKBA sentiments in the suburbs of Philly was discussed by some of you from PA. Having seen the end result of RKBA activism difficulties in Cook County, Illinois, and the path that has taken us down, I have several...

Dear All, I just picked up a Marlin 336 Lever action, and, while the stock sights are ok, I have heard that peep sights provide better aiming ability- I have shot my buddy's father's Garand, and admit, I like the peep sight design. Is there anything out there like that for a Marlin...

Dear All, As the thread title suggests, it seems the 158 gr LSWCHC 38 Special +P is waning in popularity. I have heard good things about this round (Massad Ayoob rates it highly) but I was unable to find any in the small city where I go to school. I had to go to a Sportsman's warehouse to...

Today I got my TX CHL in the Mail- I had already decided that I would carry a Kel Tec P3AT in a pocket holster. I have found that the Old Navy style shorts, with the side pockets, can easily hold a pocket pistol- and as they are secured with snaps, rather than buttons, I have easy access to...

Dear All, I see that AIM surplus is now selling a Galil semi-auto clone for $850 plus tax. I have heard great things about the Galil, however, I am wondering, is that gun worth what Century wants for it? Furthermore, the receiver is made by Ohio Rapid Fire, a company I do not know much...

Dear All, There have been cases of people buying guns in the past, and having them experience rapid appreciate- i.e. Pre-86 transferrable MG's, some variants of 1911's, lugers after WWII, etc. My question is this- I have noticed the price of SKS's have gone up alot over the past 5-10...

Dear All, I, along with 2 of my friends, regularly go shooting with our pistols. I have a S&W Model 28 357 Mag and a Springfield XD 9mm, my one friend has a Taurus 24/7 40 S&W, and my 3rd friend is going to get a GP100 in 357 mag. We are looking to get into reloading, at least for the...

So, I was taking a break from my studies today- (we had some down-time after exams), and I went "window-shopping" with my classmate at the local gun stores. I stumbled upon a Smith and Wesson Model 28-2, N-prefix, 6" highway Patrolman in the used shelf for $319, pinned and recessed. I...
