This very much worries me as I have said in the Legal section of this forum. I was reading the magazine restriction section of the bill when it mentioned that even tube fed lever guns would be subject to this law. All of them are crazy suggestions but that shocked me the most. Did anyone else...

Thanks GI Jared. I appreciate the information. I'm originally from Minnesota and was going to retire there after I have finished with the military (which is very soon). It would be a shame if they tried to make folks felons overnight...well, pretty much overnight. How much of a chance do...

Does anyone know when they are going to vote on this? I read the bill and it reads much like the one passed in NY. Not good.

Thanks for your input Robby. Hehehe, nah I won't be trading that one in. :D Last night I was tinkering with it and finally was able to detail strip it. I found the sweet spot but I'll have to get that nifty tool from Brownells. I have a WWI 1911 that is much easier for me to detail strip...

Mugsie, I actually shot one just last weekend and I have to say that Taurus makes an okay shooter 1911. It had decent sights and the trigger was alright. Like I said, all in all it was okay. My opinion is that Taurus isn't junk per se but there are better things out there for the same money...

Good evening ladies and gents. I have recently acquired a new to me 1911 and am in the process of tarting it up a little. It's comprised of a Charles Daly slide and an Essex Arms stainless frame and it was built by a gunsmith named Butch Warner from Minnesota. First thing that I am doing to...

I'd like one. That's one puuuurty knife. Thanks! Andrew

Funny that the Heller ruling was said to be an "important opinion." I'd say it's not an opinion but law deemed by the SCOTUS. :D

Good post, Mr Levitian. I concur that if it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it's probably a duck. The drawback to today's society when trying to teach these skills to younger folks (though I'm not really old by any stretch of the imagination) is that they tend to say "I'm...

Ladies and Gents, I don't know if this has been covered ad nauseum but today I had seen on the tv an ad for the Buxton Organizer bag. I was thinking, "Gee, that could be something handy to carry a small pistol and other emergency stuff in it ala the BOB and not scream that you're packing."...

Gents, Thanks for all the advice. It looks like it's narrowed down to the model 19 or 15 though I think I'm leaning toward the 15 for my first revolver. I've had some experience shooting revolvers and I'm in agreement that a 4 inch barrel did have a nice balance to it both aesthetically and...

I was looking into one of these as well. I would want to shoot it a bunch but I guess that is a no go with this type?

Ladies and Gents, Well, I've been mulling over getting a good sixgun for some time and I think that I've been bitten. Basically all I'm looking for is a fun gun that will do hd as well. More emphasis on the fun part though. With that, I did some research and now I have questions. I would...

I like using the American Eagle ammo by Federal. Goes bang every time so far and is relatively inexpensive.

A stamped receiver AK is just dandy. I echo the sentiments of the others that 500 rounds per year won't bother it any and that receiver should out last you. :) The biggest problems people have reported on WASRs are canted front sights and gas blocks. If your rifle does have these, there are...

Been thinkin' the same.... TCmofo, I've been thinking along the same lines as you and looking to get a wheel gun for the wife and had the same questions. Great minds think alike, Brother. :D So far we're thinking of getting a Ruger but I'd really like to try out your sixgun first.

Soybomb and Red Tornado, Thanks guys. It seems like shooting sports here in IL will be more hassle than it's worth as I'm not so keen on the FOID concept. :banghead: The trap club on base has an advertisement that they'll help the troops get one if they want but I think I'll keep my...

Soybomb and all, Thanks for the info. Now since I'm a resident of Minnesota, the way the FOID law seems to read is that it doesn't apply to non-residents so it seems that I'm able to still buy firearms and ammo. Am I reading the law correctly? I believe I am but I just want to double check...

Hey all thanks for all the helpful information on the shops in the area. As a matter of fact, I was just down by Mike's to pay a visit (unfortunately he was closed due to a vacation) and also stopped by C&S Metall Werkes (also closed until Friday so I got skunked.) Anyway, I was wondering...

Sir, I highly recommend the used market to acquire one. There are some deals to be had out there. Here's mine: It's Colt made in 1919. She may be old but still shoots like a Springfield chicken. Old Betsy is her name. Don't know how common it is to name one's guns but this is my only...
