    James River Armory: No Steel cased ammo

    The JRA Home page says no steel cased ammo is to be used in their rifles, but doesn't state why. Researching here, it seems the concern is the premature wear of internal parts caused by the steel (e.g. extractors). JRA makes their own receivers. Are their receivers not up to handling a...

    Panic at the gun locker in the night

    In my instance, I didn't want to give my position away.

    Panic at the gun locker in the night

    Gun vaults are great in theory, but in this urgent (perceived) instance, even I couldn't get it open. If a bad actor were really after me, I would have had to resort to hand to hand. It was certainly an eye-opening experience.

    Panic at the gun locker in the night

    After considering all the great replies, I have now rectified this situation. The gun vault under the bed is now defaulted to the "open" position, with the option to close it if I want to secure it. The back up is now out of the locker, and in a well hidden, but unlockable, location. After...

    You have nailed it. I am about to reply to all with my resolution.

    Panic at the gun locker in the night

    That is a nice safe! My locker has a similar lock. In my incoherent state with a sudden wake up, I could not remember the code, nor remember to reset it after every bad entry, even though I have opened it for 10 years. I have now rectified the accessibility of my back up.

    Panic at the gun locker in the night

    I've had all day to think about it, and I have two places to relocate said items (that are not safes).

    Panic at the gun locker in the night

    True statement. I guess my logic is no one can immediately "touch it." Unfortunately, neither could I when I needed it.

    Panic at the gun locker in the night

    At one point, I slept with my gun at my headboard, and it gave me piece of mind. May have to start it back up.

    Panic at the gun locker in the night

    I too have pants and shoes laid out and ready to go in a chair by my bed. So having a firearm in there makes good sense. Good point.

    Panic at the gun locker in the night

    You can drill, practice and think thru scenarios, but when the alarm sounds, and you aren't coherent, and nothing will open, it creates Panick, and frustration. I may just leave something on the nightstand.

    Panic at the gun locker in the night

    Actually, that could be better than a fire arm. Just slam the door and lock it, and call the police. Nice idea!

    Panic at the gun locker in the night

    Sounds like you have a good apparatus to indicate who is where in your house. That is helpful.

    Panic at the gun locker in the night

    That gun is not my daily carry. It is the "middle of the night" go to. I hadn't touched it in several weeks. DrBand had a good idea to unlock it before bed, and re-lock it in the AM. That would both make it available, and test the battery.

    I think you are on to something there.

    Panic at the gun locker in the night

    I don't have kids in the house. I keep them locked in-case there is a break in. No one can touch them. But in this instance, neither could I, when it mattered.

    Panic at the gun locker in the night

    It was a false trip. I checked every corner of the house, and the doors and windows.

    Panic at the gun locker in the night

    Well, I had quite the wake-up call this morning (pardon the pun.) My security alarm went off at 5:00 AM. It has NEVER had a false trip. I jumped up and went for the gun-vault under my bed, and could not get it to open (the battery was low). I spent about a minute pushing buttons, and gave...

    MAK-90 aftermarket trigger group

    Hi all, To get rid of the thumb hole on a Mak90, parts have to be replaced with US made parts (i.e., the trigger group). Except for the stock, a Mak90 is military grade. Are the Tapco (or equivalent) replacement parts on par with the mil-spec parts that are in the gun? Has anyone noted any...
