    I can only guess, panic buyers who got ARs but cannot

    You guys who are talking "pre-ban" vs "post-ban" might be dreaming. Feinstein has already said her bill will not grandfather anything. And Joe and his "team" are all on Feinstein's side. Unless the Republicans in the House can side track it, any mag with a capacity over ten rounds will be...

    Help identify rifle pre WWII

    I was thinking more along the lines of a Mannlicher or variant.

    Whoa! People taught to fight back?!?!

    I can vouch for that from personal experience. Every algebra class I ever took knocked me stupid for the entire semester.

    13 arrested in OR for possessing an "assault rifle" that "may or may not be loaded"

    No, Portland is a liberal bastion. I'm not surprised someone got their panties all twisted when they saw OMG HE'S GOT A GUN! OTOH, with all that's gone on lately I think it was pretty dumb to be carrying an AR or AK openly on a bridge. That's just asking for trouble, legal or not.

    Why Lefties Are At War With Gun Manufaturers

    I'll just leave this here ...

    left handed shooter

    Right-handers are arrogant. Us sinisters are very close to successfully concluding our plot, and when we take over we'll see how all those wrong handers like it when all right-handed implements are banned. :mad: Let's see how well they get along with left-handed scissors, screwdrivers, and...

    Gun Receipts: Scan, Keep faded originals, or toss?

    Most receipts are printed on thermal paper and have a limited life span before the image fades into oblivion. Avoiding exposure to light helps some, but they'll still eventually go away. I always scan mine right away. Arguing that a copy is not valid is silly, since the original will be...

    What, exactly, is a "Kit Gun"???

    I get enough gun mags, and my memory ain't what it used to be so I can't remember which one I read it in, but the comment was the term "kit gun" could be traced back to WWI. A "kit gun" was a pistol the doughboy would pack in his "kit" when he left for the war. It long ago morphed to refer to...

    Hearing Protection for Dogs

    That's an excellent question, and one I'm curious to read the answer to from someone knowledgeable about hearing loss. It seems to me that all mammalian ears basically work the same, some are just more sensitive than others. If the sound of gunfire damages human ears - and it surely does -...

    Another poll to vote in

    Thanks, MtnCreek. You're too kind. ;) Can't imagine why I can't see the darn thing. I set NoScript to allow everything on that site. I did deny cookies, so maybe that's the problem.

    Another poll to vote in

    Yeah, I see a section header that says "No Spin Poll," but nothing under it but a blank field, which won't allow me to enter anything. Nor can I click on the header with any result. :confused:

    Seems that a good portion of Eastern Colorado Forests are now closed to shooting

    A few months ago a couple of idiots were shooting tracers at Pawnee National Grasslands. Guess what the result was. Go ahead, guess. Fortunately there were several other groups of shooters there who put it out. I don't care a whole lot for rumors, but sometimes one pops up that, unfounded or...

    22 snap caps?

    I don't think there's anything on the market that qualifies as a true "Snap Cap" for rimfires, the problem being the "rimfire" part. There is no room for a spring/shock absorber mechanism in the rim of a rimfire cartridge. The stuff I've seen (and bought) for .22s is all plastic, and if you read...

    Walther P22?

    Let's see, I could probably dig up four quotes about what a POS the Glock is, so therefore all Glocks are POS. I like the logic. ;)

    Walther P22?

    Ah. So you're a majority of one. I had no idea. :rolleyes:

    Walther P22?

    I'll wager the majority of detractors haven't even held one, much less fired it. I have two and both are fun plinkers. Early runs had problems, but S&W people monitor the Rimfire Central forum and they incorporated many of the user fixes there. New models are much better. As others have said, it...
