I'm in the medical field and what you describe does not sound like NTG (Nitroglycerin) effects, some of the symptoms are there but the timing is way off. NTG effects occur very quickly and do not last long. The half life is short enough that we administer NTG every 3-5 minutes unless we're...

I've seen 2 in the past 4 months. One at Cabela's for $1,200 and another at a LGS for $1,100. Both we the "1st gen" with no bolt shroud or muzzle brake and both were in .243. Adam

igotta40, That is a very nice looking rifle. Those new CMP stocks come very dry, at least mine did, but look great after a few coats of BLO. My 2 M1's are both in -06 mainly so that I could consolidate the number of calibers I reload. I got rid of my 308 stuff years ago. Let us know how she...

Thanks for the replies everybody. My thinking is that since I only have about 3 weeks to train for this, it would be easier to just be able to put a red dot on the target and concentrate on a long smooth trigger pull. I can continue to train once I have the cast of course, but I would like to be...

...for about 4 months. Long story short, I tore a ligament in my right (dominant) wrist and will have surgery on June 8th. 3 months in a cast and probably 1 month PT to regain my strength. So I have to learn to use my left hand for everything. I plan to continue carrying so I've started training...

Look at it like this, 95% of people at the range will understand that the bolt is out and there is no chance of a ND. But for Jimbo's 3rd cousin and the other 5% they see you messing with your rifle and figure it's ok to mess with theirs. That's how ND's/accident's/deaths whatever happen. Should...

There's a local dealer here that is constantly getting items given or willed to his store when people pass. Sometimes it is in their Will, but usually the family just knows to take all of "Dad's stuff" to him. He sells the stuff and either gives the money back to the family or to a local...

The couple of times that I've been pulled over in Texas over the past 10-12 years went much along the same lines. In one instance we spent more time discussing the merits of different caliber's than we did with the actual traffic stop. Adam

MkII mags will work in a MkI. The "button" needs to be moved to the opposite side of the mag but the packaging contains (or at least used to) directions on how to do this. I purchased 3-4 mags for my fathers MkI 2-3 years ago and had to do the "button" swap. Very easy to do if I remember correctly.

I have one one on a 3rd gen Glock 22. I put it on about 7 years ago and its been on ever since. No tears or really any damage that I can see at all, and it doesn't seen to move/slide. This pistol hasn't seen a lot of use recently, but for the first 2-3 years was shot on a regular basis with a...

Just wait until you somehow end up with a die set for a caliber you don't own.... Then you find yourself buying the components for said caliber.... Then you have to buy a firearm chambered in that caliber to justify the components that you've already purchased. Trust me, it can get out of hand...

Looks like I'm going with a 20' Rossi 92 with a round barrel. The Winchester was just too pretty (and too expensive). I can take the Rossi out in the field and not worry too much about making sure the rifle stays pristine. Going to look at them tomorrow. Will post pics when I get it. Thanks. Adam

Thanks for all the replies and advice folks. I went an fondled the Winchester again today. If I hadn't been in uniform, and driving an ambulance, it probably would have gone home with me. It is truly a beautifully made rifle. I'm going to go look at the Rossi's again in the next few days. None...

Unfortunately they are at different stores. One has the Winchester, all the others have the Rossi.

Just like the title says. I have been wanting a .38/.357 lever gun for a while. i have given up on Marlin producing a 1894c anytime soon, and cannot see spending $8-900 on a used one. I'm not too fond of the Henry tube feed magazine, it feels too much like a .22 to me. LGS's around here have a...

I bought my Pardner Pump because I needed a rifled slug gun quickly. The Pardner Pump with a rifled barrel and a smooth barrel with rem chokes was cheaper than buying a rifled barrel for my 1100. I knew when I bought it that it was a Chinese gun and it gets treated like one. For dove, skeet, and...

Thanks for the continued replies. I've been looking through all the links provided on the gun laws. I think I have handle on most of it, but I'm sure I'll have questions in the future. I think I'll be joining the MGO in the very near future. My biggest worry was that we were going to end up in...

Thanks for all the replies folks. They're making me feel better about the move. I'm a Paramedic so I have lots of paperwork to fill out in order to get my License transferred. I'll look into doing the CPL at the same time, although I'm not sure if I can get a resident permit without first...

My wife was just accepted to a vascular surgery residency in Grand Rapids Michigan. Being a native Texan the weather alone is going to be a huge change for me, not to mention the gun laws. I've done some basic searching on Google about Michigan's gun laws but wanted some opinions from people who...

Just checked mine and the slide serrations do not have the rough looking tool marks that yours does. The barrel on mine has some tool marks, but not that bad. The only ''issue'' I've had with mine is the finish on the slide is wearing off along all the edges. I've had mine since 2008 and have...
