    Ithaca Auto Burgler Gun

    I think the rifled .410 option sounds great! Other options are to use a significantly reduced-length butt-stock and pay for the NFA tax stamp. OR, make it a muzzleloader pistol which is exempt from NFA regulation as an "antique weapon."

    Hydrostatic shock

    No problem! I thought of some additional stuff too. Temporary wound cavities are areas where the tissue strength has been exceeded far enough to cause tearing and destruction. These can be just a lethal as permanent wound cavities if they are located properly, BUT in the case of permanent, the...

    How long are you waiting for ordered guns?

    Well, I was referring to those who are not in the aforementioned situations. Of course you're waiting a long time for ARs. The 329PD is a normally low-demand revolver with absolutely no ban-risk that is not currently in stock with any gun store near me, nor any online retailer I have found...

    How long are you waiting for ordered guns?

    Just curious what other people are experiencing these days... I just ordered a Smith & Wesson 329PD for hiking/backpacking and can get no idea on the ETA. How long have you recently waited for a NON high-demand gun (read: AR or high-cap pistol) order?

    Best factory 7mm mag ammo for Colorado elk

    Sorry, I should have clarified. I'd like to do a thorough sighting-in with the new load. Then, it's become great fun to use the 7mag for long-range informal competitions with my friends, so there's that. The Federal Premium Nosler rounds are about $2.50 per shot (I'm not set up to reload), so...
