    Have a model 66 with three faded green dots Previous owner had them done 20+ years ago. Today they are dull green dots in bright light, and invisible in the dark.

    Do you shoot reloads other than your own?

    No No, I don't. And for good reasons. Sometimes, even licensed ammo manufacturers screw up. They have liability insurance for when they do. Ordinary home reloaders don't. Look at it thihs way, if Billy-Ray down the block fixes your brakes, and a week later you got no brakes, does he have...

    Bias Against Glocks or Is It Just Me?

    I don't much care for them And I have shot more than a few. For me, it is the trigger. I can live with the grip, I can live with the rather ugly squarishness, and while not my personal preference, the plastic frame is not, in and of itself a killer. What I hate is the trigger. Having grown...

    New (maybe) response to the "guns kill" argument

    Or, you could thank them... For helping prove the people who believe in Creationism must be right! After all, if evolution was right, their DNA would have been sabre tooth tiger dung millennia ago! Either that, or they beat the odds on natural selection. Tell them to go buy a lottery ticket!

    the single six and the story of lead

    ?? Doesn't look normal to me. Have you noticed the gun "spitting" or "shaving"? Are you sure these are chunks from a single bullet? or lead that has built up over time, plating the bore, that just came out in chunks? Hard to tell from the pic. It is possible it could have been the remains...

    Home defense long gun recommendation needed

    Best thing for repelling boarders...12ga And no matter what many will say, even bird shot is useful at point blank range. A short barrel for your trap gun is the best solution (easiest/cheapest), but a double barrel "coach gun" is an attractive alternative. Get one with double triggers. I...

    Is there a trick to removing the Delta Ring on an AR carbine?

    In the Army, as a Small Arms repairman We used barrel blocks in the vice to hold the barrel, then used the wrench to loosen the nut. Never put the reciever in a vice!:what: It's only aluminium, after all. You may have already ruined your upper reciever! If you haven't already, stop now...

    Help me pick a pistol caliber semiauto carbine

    Not common, but still a pistol caliber carbine Thompson 1927 .45 ACP Pros: very cool looking. Very accurate. Big bore. Real fun to shoot! Cons: very, very heavy. Rather expensive. Poor ergonomics. Still, in all, I like mine.

    First Rifle - .357 or .30-30

    OK, I've read all the posts... And most of the comments are good and accurate. However I would like to bring up a couple of points no one else has yet (and I'm not talking about Bufflo bore loads vs. anything else). First, considering the .357 carbine (I have one, 1894 Marlin). Being...

    are 30-06's worth the co$t of AMMO?

    It all depends on the level of performance you need If you need something in the .30-06 performance class, you have to accept the expense. You can get yourself around with a moped, but when you need a pickuptruck, you have to pony up the money for it, and the expense to run it. Nothing...

    Should these guns be severely restricted?

    Simple answer "NO!!!!!" No gun should be "restricted". Period. We have plenty of laws stateing quite clearly that it wrong and punishable to shoot people for fun or profit. We don't need anything else.

    How many LE deaths due to FN FiveseveN?

    Notice the numbers 536 US LEO killed in the last 10 years. According to that article, 2,000 Mexican LEOs killed in the last 15 months! Also, look at that FBI table (thanks for the link!), and notice the single largest number of LEOs killed was with the 9mm. A few decades ago, it was the...

    Overrated???

    The AR rifles...again First, just a little bit of background. so you know my opinions did not come just from something I read on the internet. I was an Army Small Arms repairman from 75-78 and I handled, inspected, and repaired literally thousands of M16A1 rifles. I have built (assembled)...

    Auto Ordnance Tommy Gun

    Mine feeds everything RN (ball), RN (lead), SWC (lead) and JHP. My gun is Kahr marked, but works well. 30 rnd Sticks work fine. I have a 50rnd drum, which has not yet proven reliable. I have only tried it 3 time, but have had several failures, using only 230gr ball ammo. It may get better...

    Is the revolver really a practical defensive weapon?

    Yes. Proven daily across the country and around the world. There can be no argument, the facts are clear, and have been for well over a century. All the arguments in favor of the autoloader in this thread all have one thing in common, they are not answering the question. The question was...

    Caliber Longevity

    Noooo! Not that cute little Hornet!!! Besides being the smallest (realtively) common reloadable rifle round, where else can you find ammo that looks like miniature Tiger tank shells? As far as the .41 mag and the .357 Sig, both will be around in 10 years, assuming it is still legal for us...
