    Do you need a special tax stamp for a cruise missile?

    If the missile was serial numbered and registered with the DoD, sorry! An old friend of mine had two SCUD B rockets, but - and this is important - no s/n on either rocket. They came into the US as "Teaching Aids" after 5,000,000 lbs of paperwork and much money. They were initially...

    Anybody carry NFA's?

    if you carry a NFA firearm as a CCW (which it isn't by definition - not a Title 1 gun); be sure to carry a lawyer in your ammo pouch. The HK guy was helped financially by HK; the bad guy just out of the slammer was dead wrong - then just dead. However, the prosecution went off on the HK...

    Cheapest way to get into Full Auto

    Note: Ruger is no longer servicing the AC-556. They say the s/n 180xxx to 191xxx parts are non-existent. I just sold my MAC-11 .380 for $3200 and my AC-556 for $7000. Go with an AC-556 - works all the time and is a full MG, not a sub-gun. Sam1911 - was the guy doing creative work on MACs...

    Pictures from the Pacific-

    I was told that #5 was caused by US anti-aircraft warheads falling at the end of their range. Holes in car look pretty round for shrapnel.

    Ruger 77 hawkeye

    I've got a Hawkeye in .416 Ruger. It will put all the bullets touching at 75 yards (as far as I'd shoot the type of game it's built for). It's stainless, 20-inch bbl, Hogue rubber stock. But, let me tell you about how a 7.5 lb .416 rifle kicks ... As far as your Bearclaws? I'd probably not...

    Gun ideas that seem good on paper, but nobody really likes once they come out...

    Not a good idea 9-shot/one shotgun load (10-shot) LeMat Civil war handgun. I owned two repops and they both broke before I could get them back into the Navy Arms box for return.

    A first hand account. Single 9mm fmj fatality

    Discussion of 9mm vs. 45 is a game. Think of two relative sizes - elephant and a .577 Nitro 750 gr, bullet. Place one over the other (your choice). 12,000lb elephant, 750-gr, bullet. From 5 yards you can't see the bullet. 1998 Botswana. One shot from a Searcy .577 into the brain, one dead...

    22 vs 460 Wtby

    Many years ago two Ph hunters were in a bar in Kenya discussing just such a question. Now, I think alcohol was involved, but who can say. (Short version) They proceeded to shoot an elephant in the soft area near the stomach and in direct line with the heart. The elephant showed no reaction...

    Hoover Dam - Homeland Security doesn't let me drive over it with .22LR ammo!

    Three years ago, myself and my crazy Class III dealer went from Carson City, NV to Phoenix, AZ for a Small Arms Review gun show. We brought 16 full-auto weapons, including belt fed. Both he and I were armed to the teeth. The van was (and still is) a white 1999 Dodge mini-van. No one said boo...

    Help with identifying some guns.

    If you decide on a price for that Trade flintlock, let me know by PM. I sold my last flintlock and am looking for another wall hanger for my small collection.

    Laser: grip or rail mounted for a handgun?

    Grip only. That way it won't get in the way of the bipod, Surefire, forward grip, red dot, night vision device and suppressor mounted on the four Picatinny rails on the barrel.

    Thinking of buying a .44

    Saxon pig - If that 29-2 is a bit much, and you ever feel the need to dispose of it (and the box with all the bits and pieces) ... [email protected] I've been looking for one ever since I sold mine. Oh yeah, if you are anywhere near Reno, NV, I'll do a face to face and bring my S&W 500...

    So what's the type to Mexico?

    Well, I just have to take my collection of M-79s and ammo down to Nogales and make some serious pesos. Let's see, with the five M-79s I picked up at my local gun show for $20 apiece, and my stash of M-203s and a LAW or two, I should be able ... Come on US government! Get the facts right...

    Why are double bbl rifles so expensive?

    expensive double guns. I'm a writer for African hunting and other magazines. I just finished interviewing Butch Searcy of Searcy Ent. maker of double rifles. I photographed all the hand work that goes into fitting, regulating, stock making and engraving necessary to manufacture a .577 Nitro...

    Airport Question

    Traveling with handguns I've taken a S&W 500 Magnum to Zimbabwe through South Africa. Went from Reno to Atlanta, baggage checked to Johannesburg South Africa. Got all my Africa papers in order before I left. The only problem I encountered was returning through Atlanta when the customs duck...

    WWII Nazi Tanks up for sale

    I've been up to Littlefield's Pony Tracks ranch a number of times with my friend Hans Halberstadt, military photographer. Jacques was a very nice guy. He fought cancer for many, many years. If I remember right, he was the largest private shareholder in GE. His collection is incredible. Two...
