    "Why do you need 30 round magazines?"...

    Why do I need 30 round magazines? Because I can't afford a belt fed. Leading to the conversation about "reasonable restrictions" of class III. I say let the urban folks, and east coast folks have all the restrictions they want. Move out to the rural areas and then we'll be reasonable. We'll...

    range paranoia

    I can attest that I've had a few incidents at federal forest ranges in SC and after the first one I carried a .357 that I could hit targets at distance as a result. Incident number one was some good ole boys that drove up in a hurry after we went down range to check targets and they made a dash...

    45/70 Options Other Than Marlin?

    I have both an h&r single shot and a Marlin XLR. Both are very capable and accurate. There are other options. Rossi is making a .45-70 that I've handled but not shot, but its everything the guide gun is and a bit more in my opinion. You could also roll your own by making an Enfield or Mosin...

    Would like to start a business.

    Another option is to consider bundling of services. If you are in Michigan then you have 6 months of crappy weather. If you're going to have a storefront consider an indoor range. Even if you want to focus on selling guns or gunsmithing services a gun range is a reason to come into a retail...

    9mm AR15

    There are other options besides a true AR conversion. I'm very interested in the 9mm carbine by Theuron Defense. Its still evolving, but I find this to be what I'll be going with in 9mm.http://thureondefense.com/

    You Are Headed to Africa on Safari. Which Big Game Rifle Do You Buy?

    For style I'd do either of these Since Africa is pie in the sky anyway I may as well dream big about the rifles too. http://bradshawgunandrifle.com/Farquharson_Double_Rifle_1B.php http://www.csmcspecials.com/Fuchs_Magnificent_double_rifle_bolt_action_repeate_p/20528.htm

    Gift for Dad - S&W 27?

    Model 27 is still around Although I too am a fan of the full underlug Model 27 in 3, 4,5, and six inch barrels the 27 has been reissued and its in S&W catalog http://www.smith-wesson.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product4_750001_750051_764900_-1_757770_757767_757751_ProductDisplayErrorView_Y...

    Old Rifles and the People Who Shoot Them

    Nearly everything I own is a classic My go to hunting stick is a Finnish M39 Mosin or a 91/59 Mosin. I also have an un altered Sweed Mauser that sometimes comes with me in the woods. I have been working on an FR 8 as a scout gun, but have been very busy the last year. The only gun bought to...

    Amazing birthday present! M39

    Instead of a bunch of modifications consider the scout scope option. I have a about a dozen Finn MN and there is a 1942 that will get one of these by fall. I have a 91/59 that I've already done this and its a great snap shooting rig. I've never hunted pigs, but imagine that it could be very...

    I Can't Take It Any More!!!

    While not a shotgun there in a FN manufacturing plant in the United States http://www.fnmfg.com/ They make FNP pistols, M 249/240 machine guns and less than lethal devices. Good tour if you can get it. I am a fan of the New Ithaca, but you do pay for it.

    Why Lee Lapin changed his name here...

    Welcome back to the land of the living. I'm sure even open source intel has a lot of interesting stories valid of a memoir. If you can only get around that 99 year disclosure. I admire you for making it to retirement. The 3 years I endured being a buereacraticly managed asset was enough for...

    Help us test a polymer AR-15 Lower

    A few other particulars: I believe we're up to #5 on the types of consumers who have an opinion about polymer lowers 5. Wanted to buy a Cav Arms lower, but procrastinated thinking they'd come back after the ATF nonsense and never bought one. Thats me. I also want to know if the new platform...

    Daewo Dr-200

    Daewoo rifle parts. com is down right now, but it is another source for mods. I love my DR 200 and wish I would have picked up a 300. I've shot a adams arms piston AR, a chinese ak in .223, a fnc, a armaline (new) ar 18 and an FN 2000 and nothing comes close to my DR 200. I spent a couple of...

    Best 22LR Semi-auto?

    I'll also say that the 10/22 is a best of breed and accessories are the max for that platform. I've become a fan of the new cz 512. I'm also a fan of wood if thats any indication and have an unabashed bias for cz. http://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/cPath/972/products_id/71963...

    7.52x39 VS black bear

    Call the game commission!! There have been several cases very recently in Northeast (near Erie) where a black bear was shot and both was prosecuted. http://tribune-Democrat.com/local/x539968565/NEW-Erie-woman-charged-with-illegally-killing-bear...

    Finnish M27

    If your looking for one (or more I might be able to help) Its funny. I lived about 2 hrs from you for 10+ years and picked up most of my Finn collection in pawn shops and out of the way gun stores down there. If your interested I have a couple I might let go. One is beautiful and I've only...

    Cold as Ice

    Its probably possible if you used compressed air or CO2 as propellant. Super cool the barrel with dry ice. I'd bet an interesting drop table having to take into account temp, rel humidity, and barrel temp. If I lived north of Barrow I'd probably look into it.
