Let's light this thing up, folks. Please cut and past the link -http://www.newsvine.com/_question/2009/04/24/2728669-should-president-obama-push-to-permanently-reinstate-a-ban-on-assault-weapons

Man, I'm really tweaked. Bought 3 boxes of Ultramax .45 Colt ammo at Dick's the other day, for $35.99 per box. Yes, I know, its a few bucks higher than most online sources, but most online sources are backordered for months. So I bit the bullet and paid the price. Decided today that maybe...

Howdy, Wheelgunners. Can anyone correctly identify the cowboy revolver in today's NRA e-mail header? Photo attached. Thanks much in advance.

When I came out of the gun closet with my wife a few years ago (I'd owned a few rifles and shotguns since I was young, but hadn't shot any of them in years...just kept them locked up), my wife disapproved. She feared what could happen if our kids got hold of them, etc. Standard anti-gun...

OK, 9mm experts. I need your help. I want to pick up an inexpensive 9mm to use for teaching my wife and others to shoot. Based on my criteria, I've narrowed it down to the following pistols: FNP-9 in DA/SA - EDIT. Just realized this has no manual safety either. Hmm. Taurus 24/7 Compact SIG...

A small voice of reason begins in Texas. http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/front/5945430.html "When the federal government started making schools gun-free zones, that's when all of these shootings started. Why would you put it out there that a group of people can't defend themselves...

As I work my way into reloading, I want to eventually reload .30-06 for my Garand. So I've been saving my surplus Greek M2 brass for that purpose. I also have about 50 of my Dad's old .30-06 casings from the 70s that I'd love to reload for my Garand and shoot them on special occasions to...

Who uses which? I have a spotting scope, but it was a pretty cheap one that unfortunately barely lets me see holes at 100 yards without holding my breath and squinting. I need to pony up the money for a better way to see, but I started thinking maybe binoculars would be the better...

If anyone's interested, I just made this desktop wallpaper. If you'd like a version for your computer, PM me with your size preference. All I ask is that you don't erase or cut off my copyright info and web address at the bottom right corner, and that you don't change anything about it. Other...

Y'all know the one I mean...like grease and antique wood blended with the musk of old steel. So how do I keep it smelling that way? And more importantly, functioning and preserved using the same products the armorers used to protect these original babies back in the war. Some say grease is...

I'm in love. Stopped by the Valley Forge Gun Show last night and brought home a 1954-born Garand in very nice condition. Good wood--some lovely character dings, but nicely conditioned. Barrel grades a 2/2, so I'll get some mileage out of her. 5.4million S/N, so she never saw war service unless...

Like it or not, the way we speak and write says a great deal about the way others perceive us. Misspellings, poor grammar and misused punctuation are easy targets for members of the press and general public to use against us happy gun folk. We have a tough enough argument trying to convince the...

I just got back from the range today and, after policing my brass, I noticed every single round had a crescent-shaped dent on the side of the casing. I've attached a quick webcam shot of it (sorry for the image quality, but its probably good enough for the purposes of this discussion) so...

I've been reading the HECK out of the forums here, there and everywhere about Garands, and what various people look for in them. I'm absolutely smitten over the notion of owning a piece of American history. :) What I don't understand is how some places can say "We replaced the stock, put in a...

Hey folks, I'm about to take possession of a GORGEOUS Winchester 94 made in 1953. The wood has been very well maintained, and I'd like to keep it that way. Been doing some research, and can't decide what's best...oil or wax? From what I've read about walnut oil, it seems like that's what a...

OK, first--to make this thread relevant--I assume many of you have home security systems to minimize the chance that someone will break into your home, thereby also minimizing the chance you'll have to use a firearm for self defense. I have a few quotes on the table from a few of the top...
