Some thoughts on Heller, RKBA and "military-style" small arms In Heller, the Supreme Court stated that the intent behind the 2nd Amendment, and the relationship between the prefatory clause and the operative clause, is as follows: "First, of course, it is useful in repelling invasions and...

Can you say "irony? And here's another one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxRlpRcorEU

I like 'em "old school" - German Sturmgewehr 44 rifle (or G41/43) - Soviet SVT-40 rifle - German Mauser G33/40 mountain carbine - U.S. M1941 Johnson rifle - Canadian Inglis Hi-Power pistol - German (Polish) Radom VIS 35 pistol

M4 with Aimpoint M68 CCO, Surefire Scout taclight, PEQ-15 laser, I think a LaRue BIS (Back-up Iron Sight), and a three-point sling with the elastic in the shoulder part. Also a Beretta M9 with a Safariland thigh rig that I didn't like, so I bought Fobus kydex roto-holsters - a thigh rig to wear...

I doesn't take a government agency to find out all kinds of information about people. There are websites like spokeo.com that somehow go out and gather extensive amounts of what you might think is personal data about you, and that will display some of that information for free and even more for...

A recommendation for shooting glasses During my last deployment I was issued a set of Revision ballistic eyewear (shooting glasses). Since I've gotten older I've started using reading glasses for close-up vision. The problem was that on mission I could see just fine out the windows but...

My .02 cents When you're out shooting with friends or family what are people looking at through their binos or spotting scopes? They're looking at the target - not the gun. Because that's what's important. Collecting is a different thing. You may shoot your collection, but you don't...

CMP doesn't seem to have any more barrels, and they're about $125 to $200 on gunbroker. MidwayUSA has the Criterion barrels but they're over $200. The existing barrel on it actually looks pretty good, in that it's bright and no pitting and the lands and grooves are well defined. My gunsmith...

Well, heck. I might buy it anyway because it's about the closest thing to a USGI one that I'm going to be able to afford in the near future. Can't believe how expensive those have become.

I'm considering purchasing a 1911 and restoring it to stock (issue) condition, but I'm not sure exactly what it is and what it's worth. The serial number on the frame/lower receiver is 243xxx, which ought to put it with the 1918 production of 1911s. However the slide/upper receiver says 1911...

Still working on it after two re-do's Again, thanks for the great advice above. So far, I've bedded it (and it took a lot of shaving out that Bell and Carlson stock), had the crown redone and the lugs worked on, and installed a Timney trigger that I tried once at 2.5 lbs and ended up with at 3...

Great advice, but what's an "Audette Ladder Test?"

Thanks for all the suggestions. And geez, decent scopes are expensive, aren't they?

Okay, I figure I'm going to do glass bedding on the stock. I looked at those Timney triggers and they're pretty reasonably priced, just not sure if it's needed. It's milsurp so it's a two-stage trigger, but after you take up the slack it breaks pretty crisply without too much pull. I might...

I picked up a sporterized 1903 very cheap. The receiver is drilled for Weaver mounts and the barrel has been shortened, so it's not a candidate for restoration. I thought it might be fun to see what I can do to make it more of a precision rifle without spending TOO much money, and I don't...

I will check that out. Thanks.

I just picked up a sporterized 1903 for about $50. The barrel was shortened and it was drilled for scope mounts, so there's no point in restoring it and I thought it might be fun to see what I can do to make it a precision rifle, since other than those two things it's in pretty good shape...

My Luger's the one for me, too. Although I have to admit I haven't yet tried to disassemble my new-to-me 98k. There's some weird hole in the butt that you're supposed to use to take the bolt - I have no idea how that works.

An issue won more on appeal than in trial court As a practical matter I think that KodiakBeer is right regarding the difficulty of winning in trial court on these kinds of issues, and most people can't afford appeals. You violate another state's CCW laws at your own risk, particularly if...

Took it apart and looked carefully and there is no serial number and no model number. The only additional number I found was a "5" on the bottom of the bolt.
