I have wondered this for a long time, and pondering one of the XM8/new mil rifle threads it came up again--why are there no centerfire blowback semiauto rifles? Or are there? I have not ever seen any.... The main reason I see quoted is that "the weight would be excessive", but somehow in my...

Anyone heard the reason for the delay in S&W getting these guns out? The press said guns+ammo were supposed to be available September, of course we see the problems with semiauto guns bursting cases if a heavier bolt is not fitted--but a couple gun manufacturer companies are shipping...

I recently got into paying with Russian NV stuff, and while looking for sources of IR flashlights I have run across a few listings (or people asking for) IR weapon-mount lasers. The couple I have run across are fantastically expensive--like $500+, and the one place that sells them says "military...

I have taken an interest lately in wearable guns--not guns carried in a holster, but guns fired while still attached to the shooter. Of course you have silly media things like the sleeve-concealed gun in "Taxi Driver", but I am curious as to any real actual examples. --------- A long time ago...

I ordered some IZH35M magazines from EAA as they had the lowest price (if you buy two or more) and were the only place that seemed to actually have any in stock. With the shipment came an invoice that among other matter, had two lines printed on it. The first read "Do not sell EAA handguns in...

Noting that there is a ban on high-capacity magazines, does that also include belt-feed guns and under what circumstances are high-cap mags legal? Are only pre-ban or LEO high-cap mags allowed now? I have seen Colt uppers for this (belt-fed), as well as the Mac 10 conversions and was just...

What temperature is ammo required to withstand? For military ammo, there must be an actual requirement on the matter. For civilian ammo is there some set "standardized" or common temperature, or do different ammo makers set their own temperatures? ~

(Note: for US-centric shooters, but anyone else can play along also....) -If I can't go out and buy a brand-new pistol with 30-round clips that fires armor-piercing ammo, then why can I go to the hardware store and buy a powder-activated nail gun? In fact, you can even buy a straight-line...

Yea I know, old, too expensive, I'm not even certain they had a US importer--but anyway--I am curious to read about the whole concept. Anybody know of any good sites still online? Mostly I seem to turn up an expired ad listing on GunsAmerica, one-line news blurbs and anti-gun editorials...

...EZ-Pass. ---------------- In the past stories have come to light on the availability of tracking people by their cellphones (even when not in use--currently this service is apparently only available in UK) and a recent story of the ability of the FBI to use a vehicle's OnStar system for...

I bought some magazine recently that has a Hornady poster showing all (or at least some) of their bullets. I have never had a 45 of any kind and have never done reloading myself, so I have no reason to know: for the ".45 caliber", it shows three bullets in .451 in one group, and four others in...

Dunno exactly where this should go, so..... On another forum someone asked if there had ever been any 22LR with steel cases, and I was able to supply a picture (sort-of) of some that did: http://www.norcom2000.com/users/dcimper/assorted/avrunketl/russki_ammo.html This Russian "Junior" ammo I...

I am looking for any info for the US as to what is and isn't legal to do to a pistol. I have already found one page here: http://www.titleii.com/Bardwell/nfa_faq.txt -this page mentions that a pistol must be designed "to be fired from one hand" and that it must have a rifled barrel, but...

I don't know how old this is, it just came up on Slashdot: http://yro.slashdot.org/yro/03/11/02/1729239.shtml?tid=103&tid=153&tid=99 ~

I went into a big, semi-distant gun shop Monday and saw an HK SL8-1 for the first time. Anybody own one of these things? I am not particularly interested in buying one, but I was curious: does it, um, , , , -melt? I asked the guy behind the counter how much of it ws plastic and was told that...

Is there a listing anywhere of where various US charities stand on gun ownership rights? In particular at the moment I am looking for info on the United Way. I can't seem to find anything relevant with the forum search feature, and much of their own corporate website is typical mysterious PR...

On a general interest board, someone asked about the advantages of bullpups compared to conventional designs. Conventional rifles of course are decended from early open-breech types, with which a bullpup design would have been very daring! -But I also wanted to point out the safety advantages of...

By Beeman Short Scopes I mean the SS1, SS2/SS2LR and SS3, produced pre-1992, at which point the Beeman company was sold to Crosman and dropped a lot of their high-quality merchandise. On an airgun forum there was a discussion about how the auctions of these scopes always rockets in the last few...

For absolutely no logical reason, I am keen to own a 1911-style pistol in .17HMR. ..... Any gun produced in .22WMR is a possible candidate for 17 of course, but then not many companies left make .22WMR pistols now (AMT was the big one). The local gun shop I go to knew of no other companies...
