    Thoughts and Prayers for Dave McCracken

    I have not logged on in a while and this is the first I am seeing this. I've never met or corresponded with Mr McCracken but I have learned a lot from his posts. RIP

    Current Tax Stamp Wait Time

    I received two items that took 6 months back in February. It seems that 6 months has become the norm. Three years ago it was 3 months. At least for my inspector at the time. I don't think the change instituted in July 2011 has worked out as planned. Or has it??:confused: For what it...

    Russian Capture Arisakas?

    Has anybody ever seen any or, at least, heard of them? I know the Russians only fought the Japanese for about a month in 1945 but captured well over 500,000 Japanese servicemen. Given the Russian propensity for not throwing anything out they must have kept all of that captured materiel...

    How common is “Hammer Bite” with a Browning Hi Power?

    I own two Inglis Hi Powers and have never been bitten by either. I guess it is merely a combination of grip and the shape of your hand.

    Used Revolver shortage?

    New and used J-frames are pretty common in NE Florida. I've seen some nice used Models 36 & 37 selling for under $300. You just need to keep your eyes peeled. I suppose they are more common down here than up north as we tend to dress a little lighter year round. Finding used N-frames...

    Gun show, decline in quality?

    I always enjoy going. They are a great way to spend an hour or so and just browse. Besides, you never know what you are going to find.

    Do some guys "dress down" for gun shows?

    I don't dress differently than I would otherwise but I do usually wear shorts with cargo pockets. The extra pockets can be helpful.

    Companies That Stand Behind Their Products - Let's Make A List

    I have had good experience with some of the firms listed under the good category but in my limited experience I've also had success with Beretta and Remington. Beretta: Bought a Stampede that broke (out of time & broken firing pin) after shooting less than 200 rounds. I shipped it to Beretta...

    House Panel clears National Carry

    I'm a little confused here: if one state must recognize the driver's license of another, why can they arbitrarily decide to recognize a concealed carry permit? Any lawyers here?

    Quesion: loading a lever gun

    I recently purchased a 1982 Marlin 1894 in .357 magnum. It is my first centerfire lever-action rifle and I have a quick question. I've noticed I can load it one of two ways. The first leaves the rim of the first round sticking out which is then pushed in by the second round & then so on...

    M39 Mosin Sling

    Hello I recently purchased a Finnish Mosin from SOG and, while I am very happy with it, I am puzzeled by the free sling that accompanied it. I cannot figure out how to thread it through the sling swivels as the clip at one end and the button-like piece at the other will not fit. I cannot find...

    Florida MD restrictions overturned.

    Never heard of anything like this. I recall in Kaplan & Sadock's (a pysch text) the authors take a very anti-gun stance but have never heard of any class or lecture in undergraduate or graduate medical education instructing physicians to discourage gun ownership. Neither have I heard...

    Outback IID or SS Sparrow

    I can't tell you anything about the Outback but I enjoyed using the Sparrow. I have an AAC Prodigy at home which I thought was great until I shot a friend's Sparrow. I realize I may have purchased the wrong suppressor.
