I didn't know Ruger did that! I might end up doing just that. Does it matter if I tried and failed to blue it myself, or will they do it anyway?

I used a heavy-duty concentrated degreaser. It is what is suggested as an alternative to alcohol. It takes the finish off of aluminum, so I'm sure it'll take off the Rem Oil. And regarding the Mercedes analogy... Think of this particular Mini as an '84 Merc with next to no paint, an engine...

Actually, to me... it's a $200 gun. I got it in trade for a couple hundred dollars worth of work. But that's neither here nor there- the reason I'm home-bluing it is because the rusting is killing me! I live a block from the beach, and we suffer 98% humidity 10 months out of the year. I'm...

So, I finally got around to bluing this rifle. I'm using Birchwood Casey Perma Blue, but having some issues. After bringing it down to the steel with steel wool and applying the blue with a scrap of cloth, it was still... grey-ish. So I followed the directions on the bottle, lightly polished...

No increase on ammo prices in Central Florida, either in Wal-Mart or gun shops. The sky isn't falling in my neck o' the woods.

I'm white, poor, semi-educated (HS diploma, no college). No rebel flags, and I scrapped the pick-up and got a Honda. I believed in that stereotype until recently, by the way. Now I know that slightly less than half of gun owners are inbred Nascar fans, and very few of those are on this forum ;)

Favorite: Taurus 85. I just REALLY enjoy it, no real reason why. Least Favorite: Mini-14. Even though it's a joy to shoot, I just can't stop it from rusting.

I own three, and usually bring two. I almost always rent something as well, I like variety.

I've never thought of it this way, but this is the simplest way I've ever heard it.

I've had neither the time nor the money to get to the CCW class. I'm going to the class in Oct, then moving to VT in January so I won't need a permit.

I've got a Taurus 85 that I love. It's 10+ years old, about 10k rounds through it. The only problem I've had is the cylinder release coming off after a long range session. All parts are original, and she's never seen a 'smith. I believe that Taurus puts out more lemons than the others, but a...

Marb Lights = LTL rounds. They must have interviewed a TON of gun shop employees before they found someone that said "Nope, I've never heard of light loads." I thought this looked familiar:http://thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=297311

Walther P99 DAO in .40 Mini 14 Taurus 85 I'm working on a "One of Every Type" kind of collection- I've got a revolver, a semi-auto pistol and a semi-auto rifle. I plan on adding a pump-action shotgun, a bolt-action rifle and a .22 rifle. After that... whatever catches my fancy, I guess.

By the time they hit 18, I don't think that saying "Don't screw around, 'cause the same thing that happened to this melon can happen to Mom" isn't going to scar them for life. I WISH Dad would have taken me out melon blastin' when i hit 18!

Does NYC actually issue CCW permits? It might be worthwhile for those who ENJOY city life to drop the extra $500 to get one, and I know I would if I lived near the city. I'm toying with the idea of applying for an RI permit, but it's may issue- as in "We MAY issue it, sure, and pigs MAY fly."...

WWB is still $14/ 50 in .38spl and Blazer Brass is still $10. The sky hasn't fallen yet, and it's September 4th. Has it increased much anywhere other than Canada?

Oh, there was a purpose to this thread wasn't there! Oleg, IMO this could be two different posters: One with the same imagery with "Vandalism...", and a different poster with "Weapons Bans...". It's a bit too wordy for my taste-my favorite Oleg Posters are the simple ones.

Try this: Unload. Try pulling the trigger on a P99, Glock, or anything that doesn't have a manual safety using your keys, a pen, loose coins or anything else that you'd find in your pockets. The way the trigger safety is designed makes it awfully difficult to pull that trigger without an actual...

I'd rent the Ruger, since I've already rented a G17. Rent one this time, one next time- or both at once.

Awalk, i don't think i follow your thinking. You say there are no weaponless murders. Then why is there a problem with one particular weapon above all others?
