    new gun safe inside house or in the garage?

    My safe was too heavy to get into the house without hiring a crew of gorillas. If you want to conceal it go to an appliance store and ask for a refrigerator box. Then cut the back out and place it over the safe. +1 on lagging into concrete.

    Trying to decide on new state

    Go to the Brady Campaign Against Gun Ownership site. They have just posted their new "scorecard" for all the states. The ones with lowest scores are a good place to start.

    Kindness on the range

    The Marysville Rifle Club puts on Hunter Sight-in Days during the month before hunting season opens. Most of the members get in some or most of their required work hours at Sight-in, and I'm no exception. It is a real pleasure to help folks, some of whom are noobs, get their rifles zeroed and...

    Alzheimer's & Firearms

    "This is the tip of a very dangerous wedge that could lead to a maxium age for firearms ownership. If for example, they can prohibit people under 21 from owning a handgun what is to stop them from prohibiting people over 65 from owning handguns?" I turned 64 this summer. I work as a...

    Hangfire / Squib recognition

    I was shooting my M-N M38 at the range with some geriatric MILSURP COMBLOC ammo. Out of a 5-shot mag I had 2 hang fires and the last round would not extract. I smacked the bolt handle on the edge of the bench, which opened the bolt, but left the case stuck in the chamber. Another shooter who...

    Having lived there and left, I can only imagine that returning must be like going back to North Korea.

    Perfect Gun?

    Koriphilla Odin's Eye. It's so expensive nobody can afford it, nobody has probably ever even seen one, so nobody can bad mouth it. Probably won't see any negative comments about Korth either.

    Race Baiting?

    My "race" is Native American because I was born in the USA. All of my ancestors were Euroids.

    What are some must have guns?

    Must-haves would be types, not models, unless one is afflicted with gun lust (which is a malady I completely understand.) What model depends on preference and affordability. Necessities 1) .22 rf rifle 2) 12 ga. - Pump is preferable, but dbl works. 3) defensive handgun 4) CF rifle (anything...

    Vision and Shooting

    As one ages the ability to focus up close deteriorates, thus losing the ability to focus on the front sight. Optx 20/20 stick-on bifocals work well for me. It is a plastic lens that you wet and place on the glasses you are wearing. When it dries (not too long) you have correction at the right...

    Turn in your guns cowboy. There's a new sheriff in town.

    As mentioned earlier in this thread much of what passes for "Western lore" came from early cinema and mirrors the social mores of the time. In essence they were dime novels on film. There were plenty of People of Color in the West and 20-25% of the Cowboys were Black ( about 1/3 in Texas) but...

    Officials said the compound bow and arrow is as powerful as a machine gun

    Sounds like that's what cops told the newsweasels, who wil parrot anything from an "expert" and know nothing about the subject matter. I saw one article referring to an "assault submachine gun." For sheer concentrated twaddle it's hard to beat the mainstream Media holding forth on guns. Yup -...

    Whats your home defense weapon?

    Guns!!! Lots of them!!! Can't reveal specifics because the BATF Killer Robots monitor these sights and feed the data into a computer. Oh, and knives too - lots of them, and if they won't take an edge sharp enough to shave with they get sent to the garage for scraping paint and opening oil...

    Effect of easier carry laws?

    How could anyone ever get tired of such a beautiful piece of engineering, craftsmanship, and sheer artistry in carbon steel? In fact I would hesitate to use it for EDC because if you had to use it you would never see it again.

    1903 Springfield sight on Krag

    Does anyone know if a 1903 Springfield rear sight can be installed on a 1898 Krag? The 1901 Krag sight is hard to find.

    ATF shenanigans - Project Gunrunner

    ATF resents being called Nazis. Not only are they Nazis, but they are the equivalent of the Dirlewanger Division - the dregs of the SS.
