    H.R. 2159 has been introduced - Are you a "terrorist"?

    What will they think of next? I, for one, am a veteran that is pro-life and opposed to granting amnesty to illegal immigrants. According to the recent DHS bulletins, that makes me a suspected "extremist" (i.e. "terrorist") on all three counts. How many other gun owners fit this description...

    I see now why MIM parts suck...

    Last week, I picked up a nice looking S&W Model 60-9 for a good price. The gun was in ~ 98% condition and tight in all the right places. I put about 50 rounds through it, half of those being magnums. Speaking of which, I forgot how much fun a short-barreled .357 can be :D Anyway, while cleaning...

    Swift brand optics?

    In the last two weeks, I've picked up 2 new rifles. So now I'm looking for good deals on optics. I currently own Burris (my favorite), Simmons, and BSA, and would like to get something equal or better in quality than what I have now. Lately I've been looking at Nikon, Leupold, Vortex and a few...

    Are there any decent rifle scopes still made in USA?

    Just picked up my new Tikka T3 30-06 rifle today. I got a really good deal on it ($349 brand new :D ) so I decided to spend a little more on a scope than I normally would and get a nice one. Now, I haven't bought any glass in awhile, so I was kind of surprised (not really) to see that even...

    Found a nice rifle deal today!

    I stopped by the local Gander Mountain at lunch this afternoon just to nose around. Very rarely will I buy anything there because their prices are usually astronomical. But every now and then there will be a good deal. Well, today was one of those days...They had a brand new Tikka T3 Hunter in...

    My first SA

    Yesterday I traded out of my last Glock pistol for this; a brand new Ruger Vaquero in .44 Mag... I doubt I'll be "Glock-free" for long, although I must say that getting re-acquainted with some of my other pistols has been fun too. For example, I've been carrying my Sig 229R, and also...

    No more reloading in the garage!

    After 3 months of sweating out in the garage where I first set up shop, I found a nice desk on Craigslist for $40 and moved my ammo factory inside - A much better place to work in the Texas summer! This was designed to be a computer desk, but it's an older one that is very sturdy and has lots...

    Got a Black Buck this weekend...

    A few days ago, I asked my boss' permission to go camp at his ranch and hunt hogs (there are tons of 'em). To my surprise, he told me to look for one of his Black Buck Antelope that needed to be taken and shoot if I saw it! :what: Well, we found him last night :D The picture is of me (right)...

    Tell me about cowboy guns...

    I've decided to add at least one decent single action revolver to my collection. I don't want to spend thousands on a Colt SAA or anything, so I've been looking at Ruger Vaqueros and a few of the imports (Beretta, Uberti, Cimarron, etc...). The Rugers are sounding good right now, because I could...

    Is this a safe .38 Special load?

    Howdy, I'm new to the reloading craft, but have been reading quite a bit about it for the last few months. I finally saved up enough money and bought a Lee Classic Turret press with all the trimmings; just got everything set up last night. Got the dies and powder measure roughed in, and made...

    GP100 3" blued in .38 Special?

    Has anyone here ever owned, or even heard of this configuration on a GP100? I just found one for $300 NIB at a local pawn shop and put a deposit down so I could research it a bit more. I am curious as to how many of these were made - I've only seen a handful of 4" GP100's in .38 to begin...

    I hate it when I miss a good deal!!!

    I was at Gander Mountain on my lunch break (I spend a lot of time in there) browsing the used gun case. Normally their prices are crazy, but they had a Smith & Wesson Model 39 9mm (alloy frame) for $139 :what: So I'm thinking it's a typo or something, come to find out it had about an inch of...

    New 10/22

    So I just picked up a Ruger 10/22 carbine, right before the dreaded 2007 price increase (actually they were already marked up from $184 to $199 at Academy, but it still rang up at $184 :neener:). This is my first one, and a nice little rifle for the money. Wondering if I should leave it stock...

    It's black, evil and all mine!

    Bought my first AR this weekend at a local show. Got an M4 variant because that's what I used to carry for Uncle Sam. I picked Rock River because of the quality and features compared to DPMS, S&W, Bushmaster, Sabre, and even the more expensive Colt. All the other brands had considerable slop...

    Zombie drug?

    OK, I don't believe in the Hollywood kind of zombies...But if this is the real world version, it's a bit scary :eek: Drugs like this (among others) that make people lose their minds are just another reason to support RKBA if you ask me...
