    How Much Ammo is Too Much

    A salient point, BerrettaProfessor. I've made a minor edit.

    How Much Ammo is Too Much

    Greetings all, Every now and then I get fired up and write a piece on common misconceptions regarding firearms. This time it's about the idea that people with a lot of ammo are somehow bad. Take a read and let me know what you think...

    Gun Confiscation in America

    Do you have a link to the entire interview? I'd rather reference the entire thing if I can. Even if she's talking only about "assault weapons", it's a valid point, though I agree the snippet may be more damning than the entire interview (as is often the case with soundbites). Edit - I found it...

    Gun Confiscation in America

    After hearing so many people say that, "no one is coming for your guns", I got curious as to how often confiscations have happened, or even how often they are considered by legislatures. I found a lot of people asking the same thing, but found only pieces of information here and there. I decided...

    Thanks all. I'm hoping to put out one a week or so. I'm also open to suggestions for topics.

    New Blog - High Capacity Magazines

    I don't post much here anymore. I've been a member for so long that I remember when my post count reset because of some change I've forgotten. :) I was idle for a while, but recent events have got me back in the fray. At any rate, I decided that since I can string words together into...

    686

    It depends. I've been shopping for a pre-lock 4" 686+ for months (just found one). If it's pre-lock (a 686-4 or 686-5), and a 4", $800-1200 is what they're going for online these days, depending on condition. If it's a pre-lock and any other length barrel, $700-900 in the past few months...

    New Jersey in trouble: Chris Christie Announces Expanded Gun Control Measures

    The problem isn't New Jersey. The problem is the crappy cities in the NE of NJ. I just did some digging and some math. The following counties are mostly close to NYC with a couple of exceptions, but all of them are the homes of the biggest cities in NJ: Essex, Passaic, Camden, Mercer...

    Unsure and looking for answers

    My wife used to be vehemently anti-gun. She's come around for the most part, but still thinks certain things based on what the media barks at her. She's entitled to her opinion, and I wouldn't dream of trying to force her to think differently. With a rational person, showing them proof is...

    FYI – PA no Longer Honors AZ and VA Non Resident Permit/Licenses

    I believe FL non-resident permits have been a no-no in PA since Feb 1. That's why everyone in NJ scrambled to get a Utah non-resident permit. Looks like that was a waste of money.

    Sako A7

    I don't have an A7, but I do have a Sako 85 and a Tikka M595 (predecessor to the T3) The Sako 85 doesn't have any plastic on it. The A7 and Tikkas have a fair amount of plastic on them. The magazines on the A7 are plastic. The extended mags on my Tikka are metal, but the standard mags are...

    Does it get anymore ridiculous? 7 yo charged with 2 felonies for BB Gun

    Have you been watching the news? My "shame" is becoming the country's reality. One state at a time. Sure Texas may be last, and who knows what will happen next, but if you think ridiculous laws and rulings like this are confined to places like NJ, then you've got your head in the sand.

    .308 to Get? Weatherby or Remington?

    I vote for Sako too, but then that's what I bought. I like Tikka's too. I do have a Remington PSS in .308 that's a tack-driver, but it's got $3000 worth of stocks, rings and scope to help it along.

    Does it get anymore ridiculous? 7 yo charged with 2 felonies for BB Gun

    BB Guns have been "firearms" in NJ for 40 years. Get used to it. It's only a matter of time.

    Excellent CNN Article on a Converted Anti

    http://www.cnn.com/2013/04/02/opinion/mother-guns-commentary-irpt/index.html?hpt=hp_c3 It's an opinion piece, but it's on the front page for now. "A mother's journey to bearing arms" is about a Marine's wife who was very anti-gun and who learned through reality that she was wrong.

    Refusing to help out... from another state.

    How come I don't see people rising up to help NJ? Or California? Or Mass? Any time a thread is started about the situation in NJ, which is getting worse by the day, we're flooded with "you get what you deserve" and "you should move to a free state." We're already hanging separately. I see it...

    shipping AR-15 lower build kit to New Jersey

    I'm no lawyer, so take that for what it's worth. Those products are not controlled. You can ship them wherever you'd like. It would be illegal for the person receiving them in NJ to mount the stock on an AR15, though. He would likely get nailed for having it in the same house as a "regular"...

    I can't take it anymore...so I started a blog

    I'm a published author, and I've written a blog for years, so hopefully that adds some weight to my comments. 1) It's too long. Try to keep blog posts to 1500 words at a max, and only that long if you're telling a well crafted story. You're bound to get TL;DR comments at 1800+ words. A...

    Eye relief/scope mount question- Tikka t3

    IMO, Tikka Optilock rings are the best for a Tikka, especially for a magnum. They use the receiver rails which the DNZ don't seem to do. Optilocks also include a nice scope ring to keep from marking the scope and to help keep it straight. I have a Tikka and I've had two Sakos, and Optilocks...
