    Are gangs an issue where you live or work

    My sacred lair is pretty much in Amish country. Out in the sticks, we have home burglary as the biggest fear. When it takes 2-3 hours to go to the grocery store, the bad-guys have run of the roost while you're gone. I haven't heard about any violent stuff, but a few years ago, we had a home...

    The BATFE agents are Tax Agents, if you want to be an LEO, be an LEO, not a tax agent.

    Spring Planting, long term storage Qs

    Random thought with MPF Use an 8"x60" PVC pipe. Cap one end. Line the pipe with a heavy plastic bag. Fill pipe to the brim with mineral oil or other metal preserving oil. Put in metal gun parts. Cap pipe and seal. The metal gun parts are now totally protected from air & h2o. Hide...

    How much steel to stop most pistol/handgun rounds?

    Kevlar is the best option if you're worried about weight. Titanium & Kevlar is better, but stone is great too. But if the steel is free, get it. Get lots of it. Metal is not cheap today. Sell it as scrap if the building folks say no. Or cut it up into pieces for target practice.

    I've got cash to spend ...

    +1 For the M1A. Just because you will enjoy it. If you want to put some of that 1500 into goodies for the weapon, go with a nice RRA AR or something similar like a Colt.

    Mini 30 or AK?

    I haven't had much luck with accuracy in either platform. My neighbor had a mini-30 and I found it no better than the AK in accuracy. The trigger of the Mini was better, but it did fail to feed one time. Where as I have a few AK's and not even the Maadi's have ever malfunctioned. The AK's I...

    Carburetor Cleaner to clean your guns?

    Electrical contact cleaner does a nice job if the weapon is dismantled, but don't use it excessively on plastic parts. The spray from electrical contact cleaner freezes parts and the plastic stuff can crack. Always be careful when cleaning any mechanically operated machine, like a firearm...

    (IL) New Action Alert

    The action alert IMHO is the honorable government for the great state of Illinois. Period. I'm saddened by this, but not angry nor surprised. I think skunks stink by nature, water + dirt makes mud by nature, and Governments do what the do best by nature. Especially in Illinois by...

    Return of the Smith from Hell

    KSF This is troubling, because I picked up that 17 on the same day from the same vendor,and the 17 has yet to malfunction in any way. Have you had any issues with the uber-Mauser you purchased from that source? Reading of this trial makes me want to look twice at the 17. Just curious if...

    Whatcha think about the Winchester 67?

    El Tejon got my oldest boy a Winchester M67A for his 7th birthday. I think he paid $125 for it. Great gun, should serve you well. http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?p=1621953&highlight=Winchester+67A#post1621953 Oops, looks like Kirk paid $150 for it.

    Arming the sobrinos, part VII, X-Mas '06

    For the children, El T has stocked the safe of the nephews quite well. The reaction should be overwhelming. This will be the first scoped firearm for the eldest. Nephew #2 sleeps with the 'American Rifleman' at night. So his stainless rifle should do well. This will make firearm #4...

    .22lr & possum-one shot kill,what works?

    I've killed two this year in my Chicken Coop. #1. Found him inside one of the chicken stalls. He was laying down and I thought it was a cat, since I could only see his back. I petted the nice kitty, and he nearly bit my hand. I then went into the house, grabbed a lever .22LR with .22LR...

    Winchester 67A, For the children!

    My brother "El Tejon" bought one for my oldest kid when he turned 7, and I found that he could only shoot it from a bench. It's a serious rifle and heavy. I got him a Cricket and it has a better LOP for kids and better weight.

    Happy Dance thread: Smith M48!

    The Model 17 is an excellent firearm. Shot about 100 rounds threw it so far. This is by far the neatest .22 handgun I've owned. Very easy to shoot and accurate. And the Trigger is VERY nice. MPFreeman
