I'm wondering what some of my fellow Wisconsinites are hearing about AB 586, the youth hunting w\mentor bill. It was in the queue to be voted on at the end of January when Lazich added a lame amendment at the last minute that caused it to be sent back to the joint committee on finance. I spoke...

You will all be glad to know that Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett has found the cause of violence in Milwaukee...drum roll please...it's firearms! :barf: Read this with a barf bag handy: http://www.jsonline.com/news/daywatch.asp One day after he could have contributed to a real solution...

I have a 1990 vintage Remington 1100 LT-20 Special. I needed to shorten the LOP for my son so rather than commit an act of sacrilege and cut off the nice english stock I bought a Remington youth size stock and a new forend to match. (He wanted camo.) I bought genuine Remington parts direct...

Jerry Pournelle must be on the TSA "special treatment" list. I'm sure it's not profiling. :rolleyes: He had another experience with them this past weekend. He originally posted something about the TSA on Sunday that he later removed with this comment: There's more here and later in the...

I've got a friend ;), who has exceeded the maximum amount of firearms coverage on his State Farm homeowners insurance. He can get more coverage at a price of $1.54/100 but he has to itemize his firearms for the policy (including serial numbers.) He's searched this forum and read John Ross'...

Just another step in our never ending quest to codify everything into law so that no one needs to use, or perhaps is even forbidden from, using their judgement. Take a look at this article (linked from Michele Malkin): Politicians take on greater parenting role Debate about how much...

I'm looking at a used Remington 1100 LT-20 Special. It's in very good condition. Intended use is primarily as a trap gun for my eldest son. I have a few questions: 1) What's the most you'd pay? 2) Is there any way to tell the vintage from the serial number? The dealer doesn't know. I...

John Derbyshire cracks one out of the park with his column today: National Review Online The entire column is outstanding. Here's a particularly good chunk: Why can't the self-proclaimed high priests and priestesses of tolerance "tolerate" the fact the private citizens want to own...

John Derbyshire's column is pretty good today. It's on National Review Online. The funniest quote is at the end: Of course, in order to use the proposed indoor shooting ranges their last act before the lights went out would have to be overturning the DC handgun ban. :rolleyes: - Abe

I picked up my first revolver today! It's a Colt Frontier Scout (.22LR). It's an Appomattox Commemorative 1865-1965. Here it is: I picked it up used. It looks as though it's been a shooter rather than a collector piece as it's got some character. That's fine as that is the role I...

I just received the following from Senator Kohl (D-WI) in response to my message to him asking him to vote for a clean bill this past Tuesday. While S1805 is history, I've found reading the responses that other members received from their senators interesting so I figured I'd throw this one up...

You knew it had to come up at some point. It's like the anti-gun Democrats are reading this from a script: "Senator Jauch: Queue up the death threats." Here it is: Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. While Jauch disputes his colleagues calling it a "death" threat he still calls it a threat. And...

Does anyone know what the thread size is for the stock bolt of a Remington 870 Express? It's not 10-24 or 10-32. Thanks, Abe

I'm interested in reloading for shotgun, both 12 and 20 gauge. I've been looking at a MEC Sizemaster. I'd like to stay in the under $200 range. I have a Dillon 550B for pistol and rifle. It's a great machine and as much as I like it I wasn't looking to spend the money that they want for an...

I think I understand the basics of its use. I'd like some more insight into it. Can it be retrofit to most any shotgun (like a Winchester Super X2)? If so, what are some good sources for beads and more importantly, how is it properly fit and setup? Thanks, Abe

Here's a link to the latest column by John Derbyshire at NRO: http://www.nationalreview.com/derbyshire/derbyshire060503.asp Outlines the plight of a British farmer, Tony Martin, who had the audacity to discharge a shotgun at two burglars that broke into his home (one of which subsequently...

So I decide to get my oldest son a shotgun for his birthday. Settle on a Remington 870 Express Youth. Go to Gander Mountain to purchase it. They have the model I want, price is right, checkbook in hand, I'm ready to go. Clerk wants to ring up the sale before filling out the 4473. Seems odd...

I'd like to start using Meister Bullets in my loads for .45ACP. I've been using Sierra 8815 (230gr FMJ.) The primary reason for using Meister is economic. I can get a box of 500 for between $22 and $26 (depending upon the type) locally at Gander Mountain. This is alot cheaper than the...
