RE: "Stolen" machine guns...It is also possible some of these were "Stolen" from Communist countries i.e. bring backs/ battlefield pick ups from 'nam, sandbox,etc. I know we had a Japanese sword and a flag my father got on some stinking little island. They were tossed out after he died.

Thanks for the link Ratshooter. I was looking for that to post but you beat me to it. :)

Willie Sutton said; Until 1984, every bottle of distilled liquor sold in the USA had a serial number on the strip across the top of the bottle. The BATFE is really all about taxes. The laws regarding NFA weapons are all tax laws. Even today, each case of booze is serialized. And if you think...

That is good police work. Too many times I read about police just come in blasting away (2 in neighboring Oregon I can think of) and it ends up with the hostage also getting killed by police.

My thought would be to varnish a board real nice and mount that on it. Hang it on the wall "Redneck Trophy":what: As in "Hey y'all watch this."

I built a .22 pistol a few years ago. The only thing I stamped on it was ".22LR" Good luck on your project.

So why do we have to show ID and drivers license numbers now when we buy ammo? Just in the last month or so...

It is becoming obvious to me why stores have notes in their ads: "We do not ship to California"

Worm Worked! Only problem was finding one. I miss LGS where somebody working there would know something. Thanks for the suggestions.

RE:Friendship? @[email protected] is your chance for a free plug. Tell us about Friendship...Where?..When?..What events..? Advance tickets..? Etc..? Etc..?

I bought a Hawken at auction that the guy had stuffed a wad down the muzzle then realized he had screwed up. I tried a ball remover (The wood screw looking thing you put on the end of the ramrod) and when that failed I tried firing my grandson's BB gun into the nipple. That didn't work either...

True story with real names: In the mid-1960's I was living in the desert Southwest. The town had some kind of of Pioneer Days event going on. Wyatt Earp, grandson (?) of the original, was demonstrating his famous quick draws. During a break in his renowned quick draw demonstration he went into a...

This has been tried time and time again over the years. One year some joker in Oregon(?) blew up an old DeSoto with black powder in front of the cameras. Nobody was impressed. Anyone familiar with black powder and the formula 3-2-1 can make black powder. I suspect the Hon Senator Lautenberg is...

My neighbor, a retired Highway Patrolman, says he can carry service weapon or equivalent anyplace an on-duty officer can carry.

Excuse the slight thread drift... Those of us old enough to have been around during the Cuban Missile Crisis also remember that store shelves were empty of bread and canned goods. Once the diplomats got things straightened out, things went back to normal.

Washington state is theoretically OC but if some LEO's spot it or they get a call from a concerned citizen, people have been known to be charged with "Brandishing."

They had a Senator from...somewhere.. on the news. He was saying that this was the work of right-wing extremists of the Timothy McVeigh ilk, or possibly the Tea Party. In the meantime I'm going to stock up on black powder for my shooting this summer. I may have to go back to 3-2-1.

I have been married to a non-gun person for 50 years come November. She and my in-laws are from the Northeast, mainly New Jersey. Her entire family freaks out when they see a gun. I showed my new deer rifle to my brother-in-law who lives in GA. The others sitting around saw it and started...
