    Thank You All

    I just dawned on me that I have been reading Hurricane Flu by Apple A Day for all these many months and thanking him for posting it and I have not thanked the staff for their generosity in allowing this. Please accept this public thanks and then you may delete it if you see fit.(As not...

    Greatest Shot ever taken?

    Watched a friend shoot a cat at about 100 yds, Ruger 10/22, iron sights at night, standing in front of car with headlights on. All he had for target was two green eyes glowing- hit dead center. Surprised himself more than me.

    found in the garage

    40 MM Bofors Ah yes, the old 40 MM anti-aircraft cannon. We used to have those on the A model AC-130, got to see a live fire demo one night while in the Reserves at Duke Field. They loaded every other shell as tracer, fascinating to watch those dotted orange lines coming down in a black sky...

    ~The Things Military Surplus Tell Us~

    ultramag, just went to the link you posted about the Jap rifle, good story. Reminded of my dad's 6.5 Arisaka that was supposedly taken from the Japanese soldier sniping American troops in the Phillipine jungle. Still has the mum intact. Everytime I handle it I think about the man that was issued...

    ~The Things Military Surplus Tell Us~

    My dad has a K98 with a bullet strike on the right side just under the rear sight. It appeared to come from the lower right, took out a half-moon shaped chunk of the stock and left a round wrinkle in the mount that attaches the rear sight to the barrel. I have wondered many times what the...

    What is your worst gun accident?

    "Your probably wondering, did I shoot five times or six?" A friend and I were shooting junk in the woods with our single-six Rugers. We both were saftey concious and mentally counted our shots as most probably do. I fired my sixth round then pulled one more time to be sure and the gun went...

    Shelf life

    My dad,76, has reloaded ammo with powder from ammo that he dismantled while in the Philipines in the 1950's. It functioned perfectly. Keeping it cool and dry is the key.

    Desertscout, thanks for responding so quickly. I was trying to ship to an FFL and I got the counter person to call their super who in turn called their immediate super,whoever that was, and I was turned down. My local dealer who eventually shipped it for me was as curious as I was and just...

    Let's get to the bottom of mailing and shipping firearms

    Tried to ship a long gun last month to a permitted resident of Nev. I,a resident of AL, was refused by USPS, UPS, and Fedex and was told by my local PO that I cannot ship guns through the mail, long or handgun, unless I was FFL. I am legally premitted to carry as well as the recipient. I called...

    OpEd: Don’t hide gun permit list from public inspection

    I agree with gc70. The matter could be boiled down to, prove you're a citizen and you may carry a gun, barring you're not a felon or a mental case. Driving a car is a privilege given by a state. Gun ownership is a right... I try to keep things simple.

I told her I would teach her to shoot as part of a science class and she became very interested, realizing that she would be...
