    Range Report: 870 vs 1200

    Went down to visit the folks in San Antonio this past weekend, and decided to bring my 870 and a few hundred rounds of 12ga down with me, on the chance that I could get my dad to drag out his 1200 and shoot some clay. Turns out the whole family was game for it! I wanted to go check out the...

    Good deal on two Ruger 10/22's?

    Wondernine, Volquartsen is probably your best bet for a carbon fibre. Check Rimfire Central for further research. -Tom Rodriguez

    First time shootin' clay...

    First of all, thanks to every one of you for the helpful advice. I've got a few books on order from Amazon on your recommendations, and I picked this up the other day: It's a 12 ga Remington 870 Super Mag Synthetic, NIB. I got it for $212. I hope that was at least a fair price. :P It...

    First time shootin' clay...

    So, about a month ago, I finally escaped from PRK, moved to Plano, TX with my company, and have been aching to go shooting again (my guns have been in storage for almost 4 months). This morning, before work, I went to "Backwoods" range out on highway 380 and shot clay pigeons. Now, I've...

    CA handgun certification

    As far as I know, you don't need training for renting, and if you do, I'm breakin' the law! I've also had friends who've rented who don't own and haven't taken the class. The only time I've seen them balk is when someone new to firearms tries to rent something. Also, according to an FAQ...

    Quentin's next: Kill Bill

    You'll love the movie if you have interests in: Shaw Brothers style Hong Kong Cinema (the high contrast B&W segment) Modern Hong Kong Cinema (Jet Li, Yuen Wo Ping, Crouching Tiger) Japanese Samurai/Bushido (The fight with O-Ren and The Bride is intense) Anime (Japanese animation based on...

    Is or was Bill Clinton that bad?

    I all depends on your definition of 'evil' :D Or was that depending on the definition of 'it'? :scrutiny: Eh. He had a flawed character, and he let his personal relationships get out in the open, and as far as I'm concerned, the whole scandal was a big wad of egg on the US's face. Did...

    Who says cats don't have a sense of humor? (Yes, this is firearms-related!)

    Just get a dog. That way, as soon as you get your gun all nice, cleaned, and oiled, the dog can run in with a mouthful of drool and water, and indignant that you're not paying them any attention, proceed to empty their drool-channelling jowls all over your work surface and nicely polished...

    What other Gun rights group to join?

    I second the suggestion you mentioned of Gun Owners of America ( http://www.gunowners.org/ ). You might also check if they have a state chapter, that does things closer to home. -Tom

    Once Upon a Time in Mexico

    I thought it was a good movie. It was less Arcade Game than Desperado, and through the use of really schlocky title and subtitle fonts and various camera shooting styles, the film feels very 'low budget' and less 'perfectly polished' than a lot of these mass-produced garbage action films. And...

    Getting Stopped by the Police w/ a Car/Truck Shoulder Weapon?

    EricO said: I didn't say it was a GOOD idea! :eek: I should have qualified that statement.. The law as stated on the Attorney General's page seems somewhat vague [from what I gather] in regards to the rifle. No way in hell would I carry ANY firearm or firearm replica in plain sight...

    Should the Drinking Age be Lowered?

    No offense to young or old, but... There's quite enough 21+ drunken jackasses at the bars I hang out at. I really hate to think of a bunch of teenyboppers invading. :what: But, hey, if you want to get a bunch of teenaged DUIs to augment the local law enforcement income, by all means...

    Ruger 10/22 trigger & bits

    Newb here, but... I've got a factory trigger with a Hogue OM stock. I couldn't see what the big deal was with the heavy triggers people had been talking about until I spent 2 hours breaking in my new barrel. I couldn't pull the trigger any more. :P I'll definately be looking into making it...

    Hi!

    Thanks for the welcome! :D The dog's name is Falco von Kleiner Fuerball, but since that's a pain to say, I call him 'Harley' (I was looking into buying an FXDWG at the time, but I got the dog instead. I think the bike woulda been cheaper). And I'd bring more friends, if I had more...
