    My new Kel-Tec P-3AT (great)

    "For you guys that are always losing your ejector when you disassemble, put a dab of the same grease used on your slide and frame, between the frame and the ejector. That will help it stay in place till you are ready to remove it ." Not sure if I am wrong, I bought one of the P3ATs today and...

    Proposed AL bill would register every semi-auto, fingerprint owners and tax $50 each

    Oh my!! I guess I can assume that all those members are Democrats, but even in Birmingham, Montgomery, Mobile and Huntsville I can't imagine there's much support for this. I moved from Maryland 2 1/2 years ago to get away from this nonsense!

    PA: Deadly ammo cache in city hall; hilarity ensues!

    For the love of pete (do people say that anymore?:confused: ) down here in Alabama, compared to Maryland where I lived for 30+ years, even the "Democrats" don't fuss about gun laws. It really is a different culture, though to be fair other than gun ownership/self defense in general...

    Going through SC

    "IIRC, SC does not require a permit to carry a gun in the glove box." I recall the same from a trip in 2005. They don't recognize an Alabama CCW, but I did have a pistol in the console. I was glad I didn't have to prove this, though I got the info from Packing.org.

    Driving from Tampa to Fort Worth... HELP!!!

    God bless the South... this wouldn't even be a topic of conversation (absolutely forbidden) where I was born and raised (Maryland).. after 2 years in Alabama I am so used to the (liberal!) gun laws here I find it odd to worry about carrying a gun in a car. I wish much luck to the folks back...

    S&W 1917

    "the grips are worth about $150 if you can find them." Holy smokes! I paid $200 for a 1917 last year with original grips! (Though it had been chromed).

    In Jefferson County, its says: "WARNING: State and Federal laws strictly regulate the possession of firearms in certain areas that include schools, federal, state, county and city buildings, and air terminals".

    Munich

    I agree 100% on that. I think it was the way she stopped to hug her cat before she died. Totally creepy. I guess those things were improvised .22s?

    Is cleaning supposed to be this hard?

    So I shot my new Hawken rifle, used Bore Butter and swabbed it out after every three shots to help with fouling, and I still ended up running scalding hot water down the barrell for two hours and it STILL wasn't 100% clean. Is it supposed to be like that, in that I mean not 100% clean...

    So i was given a 870 wingmaster...

    Thats funny - 3 years ago my GFs father (now my wife) gave me an 870 Wingmaster 20 ga. w/a 28" barrel. I don't shoot it much but its a treasured gift. Just a week ago he took me turkey hunting for the first time (not with the Wingmaster!)

    Moving to Birmingham...where to shoot?

    Mr. Monk- I live in a little section of Hoover called Bluff Park, and its right near 31 and 65. I've tried both and definately prefer 31. In fairness, I can take backroads (Shades Crest Rd) that put me on 31 halfway to downtown. I guess you just have to try both 31 and 65. If I ever...

    Moving to Birmingham...where to shoot?

    Thanks Dan - yep the 6 months residency deal is why I had to wait till May to get my CCW when I was here in November. So since I'm usually pretty organized - is it OK to stop by in mid-May if my CCW doesn't actually expire until May 31st? (I realize this is actually a question I should be...

    Moving to Birmingham...where to shoot?

    I live in Hoover and its about 25 minutes up Rt.31 to get downtown. I could jump on I-65 but thata always backed up.. I love it here - moved from Maryland in Nov. 2004 and haven't looked back. I also belong to FOP Range, and while Marks Outdoor Sports is only 5 minutes away I try to throw as...

    Shooting angers immigrant community in Columbus

    Not to be too un-PC, but that sounds like the shouting at every "progressive" protest I've ever seen. Could these Somali immigrants be getting coaching?

    "Double trigger" explanation?

    So a "search"didn't help much.... I am thinking on buying my first black powder riifle, in interest of history, and am looking at a Cabela's Hawken percussion rifle with "doulble trigger". Now, I have many a surplus rifle, like M1 Garand, M1 Carbine, Enfileld No 1 Mk III, and Mosin Nagant...
