    Stashed guns

    I stand by my assessment, AND unless you have been there and done it, up close and personal, (I relate to 70s era Vietnam) you dont know. As for baseless and judgmental attacks the only one I see here is the Mayberry comment. Am I a 2nd supporter? very much so. Do I obsess over hiding an armory...

    Stashed guns

    I dont think this will be a popular response to this thread, but here goes. While I understand the intent of protecting ones family, I sense some implications here of an attitude born from too many cop shows and unrealistic war movies that its no big deal to take a life. How many of you have...

    Sent check and c&r copy to a dealer... lost in the mail?

    Items of importance that we mail, we spend the extra and get a tracking number. May or may not help with an actual lost item but does provide delivery confirmation. As for electronic copies of important documents, the simple solution is store them on a removable drive, ie: a thumb drive. It...

    black powder or not?

    Copied from batf faq's. However, Federal law does not prohibit these persons from possessing or receiving an antique firearm. The term “antique firearm” means any firearm (including any firearm with a matchlock, flintlock, percussion cap, or similar type of ignition system) manufactured in or...

    low and high BASE

    Virginian is correct. Base wad height is an important factor in choosing components when reloading, primarily the length of the wad column or plastic shot cup length for a given shot charge weight. The old cheap "dove and quail" loads of the past were a good example. stuff an AA or federal shot...

    Defensive Ammunition 101

    Its fairly obvious most reply's didnt "ACCURATELY" read my post as I referenced the assistant DA as retired, thus he has no political involvement OR agenda. So, before jumping on the bandwagon crying foul, or the guy must have (what ever excuses were offered) read and read accurately. My...

    Defensive Ammunition 101

    No intention of hijacking this thread, though here's some food for thought on the matter in general. (Don't shoot the messenger here, these are simply thoughts from a discussion) Having years of law enforcement in my past, as well as a family member who before retirement, served as an...

    .223 Rem. inside neck diameter

    I'm surprised no one has suggested the possibility case necks need reamed. If the brass has been resized several times. As brass lengthens with sizing, case necks can also thicken, thus when resized may still be too small of a diameter for a bullet to seat evenly. A simple test though not...

    Semi Auto ejection for Left handed shooter

    As a southpaw myself, the only left hand gun i've got is a bolt action hunting rifle. excluding a couple of wheel guns, everything else is right hand eject, in bolts, pumps, and semi autos. To be honest i dont even notice ejected spent brass/hulls.

    Bullet weight, which is best

    This may not be a "popular" opinion but I think there's too much emphesis placed on bullet weight/style. Now admittedly there are some conditions where "bullet X" may not perform because of unforseen conditions, heavy clothing for example. The fact is there is no "Perfect" bullet for all...

    Crossman Nitro Venom accuracy

    It will take a while to break in, 100 - 200 shots, possibly more. If its a scoped version (I believe the nitro venom is) some of the inexpensive scopes crosman/benjamin ship with their air rifles are quite intolerant of a change in head position. BE SURE you weld your head down to the stock in...

    Public Shooting Range Dress Code?

    So now its only ranges that should be rule free? Society has rules, your employer has rules (and probably a dress code as well), Keeping your (legal) right to drive has rules, (albiet most people seem to ignore anyway). Rules are meant for the good of the majority, not the individual, So why is...

    Where is all the 9mm ammo?

    Looks to me like that makes you part of the problem, not solution.

    .22 LR -- Lack of Availability -- Maybe I'll Just Sell ALL of Mine!!

    problem that lies is no matter how much ammo the suppliers manufacture, the present gougers are just going to buy up more and more and wait for price climbs. Members of the gun forums are just as guilty in some cases. I wont say where but recently i read a forum post where people were bragging...

    Washington State I-594 is Firearm Registration

    My thinking on this, regardless of the state or agency, is that it's a 4th amendment violation, regarding unreasonable search/seizure. My reasoning is that a person has to be suspected of something for a legitimate search to occur, and a background check is a search, of sorts. Thus unless there...

    Full Auto BB Gun

    I dont know how the law would look at a full auto bb gun, but what would get you in trouble, i think, would be with the EPA as its illegal to vent freon into the atmosphere.

    Reduced recoil 12ga options

    First and foremost, realize I know nothing about this particular shotgun, thus, I comment or question, simply from past experience when adjusting triggers and having them set a bit too light. The fact you mention a double fire condition under certain conditions makes me think there is an...

    Trap shooting help needed.

    Particularly from the 16 yd line, modified will work ok. though it may be a bit too open from handicap distances. To help alleviate that, shoot #8's or even 8 1/2"s for a denser pattern When i shot competition trap years ago, I finally found an improved modified to be the ideal choke. its about...

    Arrested for reporting a MWAG....

    As it should be, however a "responsible" person would evaluate a potentially dangerous situation and try to avoid an element that would create a danger scenerio beforehand. You will note also, i didnt condemn the action, my condemnation was of use of a particular photograph that could be...
