    M1 carbine question

    Frankenstein's web site http://www.feinstein.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/press-releases?ID=28d0c499-28ec-42a7-902d-ebf318d46d02 merely gives a summary of the bill and only states: The NRA-ILA website...

    How Effective Has GOA Been for Us?

    Once was a GOA member/contributor. The more I learned, the more I disliked and I let my membership lapse. I'm a member of the NRA, SAF, CCRKBA and my state rifle association. I make contributions to the latter three.

    Holding a C&R in current climate

    I let mine expire a few months back. It was handy for awhile, but I haven't bought a C&R gun in a long time. Discounts were nice as well, but I did some buying back in 2007 when it was apparent that our next President would be a Dimmicrat. I no longer have a "need" for a C&R License.

    Should I get a 1903A3 or a Savage MkII FV .22lr?

    1903A3 FIRST! There are lots of .22 caliber rifles out there and there will likely be more in the future. Can't make that statement about the 1903A3.

    Money's Tight. Join GOA or SAF first?

    I used to be a member of both, but now only support SAF. About all I ever saw from GOA was a bunch of breathlessly overheated rhetoric. They also seemed too ready to publicly assail and condemn other organizations that didn't fully subscribe to their give-no-ground hard line stance. IMHO, GOA...

    Window stickers a good idea?

    I have never understood my fellow man's apparent need to provide free advertisements for the companies/causes/organizations that have "accepted" their money. Glock stickers on bumpers. Logos on shirts and jackets. Vegan signs in vehicle windows. ***? As cynical as I get, I just can't keep up.

    Problem with Lee Pro Auto-Disk Powder Measure

    You're a good man, Mike. Fessing up to operator error, even underhandedly, is a true sign of a Great Merrycan.:D Congratulations.......

    Is the Lyman reloading handbook sufficient?

    Lyman is a great general information handbook - I have one and use it often. HOWEVER, there is no reloading handbook panacea. YMMV, but when I am reloading with Speer bullets, I go to the Speer manual first. When reloading with Hornady bullets, I go to the Hornady manual. When reloading with...

    CCW permit concern

    A POTENTIAL gun owner??:scrutiny: How many CCW holders do you know who are NOT gun owners?:confused: If one does not own a gun, why would one get a concealed carry permit? As far as the "authorities" knowing you have a gun, if you bought it from a FFL the Feds already know you are a gun...

    Law enforcement trade in

    Glock - meh. I post for two reasons: 1) I have bought several police trade-ins from Summit. I recommend them. 2) My experience with police trade-ins is that they are in dire need of a good cleaning, and once that is done, are good firearms.

    Vision, glasses and sights

    Blowingsky: Thanks for posting - at age 66, I'm having the same problems. The rest of you: Thanks for the suggestions. No way I'm getting Lasik surgery. I can see at distances just fine; have needed reading glasses for twenty years. My ophthalmologist and I will be having a lengthy...

    CMP - better to order online or visit in person?

    I have make the "pilgrimage" to the CMP South Store from Kansas and do not regret it - I recommend the experience. If one does not want to make the trip, my advice is to order ONLY Service Grades. Even if you receive one that is at the bottom of the grade, it will be a pretty good rifle. A...

    Now just what the heck?

    Have you never skipped pebbles across a lake? What do you think bullets are going to do? (The Sheriff is right......)

    Boston's Gun Bible

    Buy the book. It's worth the $25 - you can't even buy a bottle of good Scotch for $25. It's worth the money for the analysis of home defense firearms. Bible it's not, (THAT'S in the mind of the author) - reference manual is more like it. I agree with your assessment - Libertarian all the...

    How much ammo fits in 50 cal can?

    As already noted, a full 50 cal can is heavy.:( I use 50 cal cans for STORING ammo and 30 cal cans for CARRYING ammo. I just transfer the rounds as needed. I typically have a 30 cal can of each caliber that I regularly shoot "at the ready". I find that a couple of 30 cal cans is usually...

    Keeping your powder dry? Where?

    My reloading bench and component storage is in a heated/cooled shop in an outbuilding about 75 feet from the house. Most of my ammunition stash is also stored in the shop area. Not an insurance issue for me but a practical fire issue - I just don't want that stuff in the basement.

    Reloading component shortage

    Depends on which Cabella's store you go to. The Kansas City store had pistol and shotgun primers last week and also three weeks ago. Neither Cabella's, Bass Pro or any of my local gun shops have had rifle primers in stock on the days I went by for two months.

    primers under federal regulation?

    I was in a Cabella's yesterday and saw primers on the shelves behind the counter. Also bought some pistol primers at the same Cabella's three weeks ago and bought pistol primers at local gunshops recently. Rifle primers are apparently more scarce - none at Cabella's yesterday, none at local...

    Powder and Primer Storage

    I keep most of my powder in a flimsy metal 2-drawer filing cabinet that is far from air-tight. The "overflow" is in the big bottom drawer of a cheap desk. (All powder is stored in its original container.) Primers are stored in wooden ammunition crates I got from CMP. The lid is secured with...
