i really don't intend this to be a smartass answer, but if you go to any town just off a marine or army base, post some signs up at the local check cashing places or telephone poles saying you'll pay $20 (or whatever you're willing) for a case of mres. when a unit goes to the field, they bring...

i accidentally hit not justified instead of not enough info. IF the actions depicted on the video were all there was to it, he was probably not justified. i don't give a damn about the iraqi, but i'd be a lot more concerned about the mental well-being of the marine and the effects of his actions...

i've been using a bullfrog storage bag for the past 11 months with my blued BHP. i live on a sailboat in salt water, and the bag has kept the gun rust free. once i accidentally left the gun out of the bag for 2 weeks and surface rust had already started to appear, so the bag's been doing a good...

what about slugs for combat? Just off the top of my head, I think there could be significant differences between slugs for home defense and slugs for combat. Although to date I've only been issued 2.75" Estate 00 for my M1014, it's got good sights and I'm considering buying a few slugs for...

there are many ways to get a personal weapon over there, and a precious few to get it back. while bringing it back, you'd have to be ready and willing to abandon it at a moment's notice, and i doubt the cost would be worth whatever benefits it might provide you there. when i am old and gray, i...

"Investigators had to wait for another search warrant to go in the house. While the first warrant was sufficient for the child pornography investigation, law enforcement officials had to get another one after the shooting." *** is this? is one of your brothers being shot and killed not "just...

ok, thanks all for the help. i'll probably put a few more rounds through it before sending it in. i'm a little surprised that only colt-specialty gunsmiths are recommended, is the action really that complex?

crap, i should have printed out the revolver check before i paid for it. anybody have any idea on the availability of a new hammer for a 72 year old revolver, or a ballpark pricetag?

i just got a 1932 colt official police, before buying i looked at the cylinder lockup, timing, etc but forgot to check the hammer. after firing it, the single action pull is very light and it shot great, but i just noticed that if cocked, you can push the hammer and it will drop. is this easily...

buying a .45 as a first gun would be like buying a crotch rocket as a first motorcycle, the few who have done it successfully always try to convince you to do the same for some reason. i don't think the .22 has been stressed enough if what you're looking for is nothing more than a target/fun...

don't have a ccw or a way to carry on my klr650 other than in a backpack, but the thought of a gas tank mounted holster for the clutch hand is highly amusing to me, for mission impossible 2-type buffoonery. i'd also love to be able to legally carry a .22 rifle out to the desert somehow, anyone...

i did some mout training with simunitions a couple years ago, and we all loved them. they're pretty accurate out to 30-40 yds, we were firing them out of specialized m16a2 uppers. if i remember correctly, they were 9mm rounds, and though the value of being able to train in such a manner with...

Screw the legal way, if he was there, he deserves whatever he can get back, and the ways to get it back are up to his imagination. I had a "hypothetical" friend who "might" have sent 2 back last year. One was disassembled and sent in a box before mail screening procedures were very strict, and...

The armorers have weaseled away all the shaving brushes for the .50's, but everybody had a toothbrush or 2 sticking out somewhere. Forgot to mention - the Beretta magazines got pretty low reviews in general. The bullets would all slide forward in the magazine so the bullet tip contacted the...

My hat's off to the Army "occupiers." I imagine occupying postwar Germany was a hell of a lot more rewarding. On the Benelli you have to watch what you're doing when you put the bolt carrier group back in, and test it when done. I found the best way was to put the receiver on its left side...

to set a couple of points straight: No Marines that I know of were using M14's in Iraq, and I saw all 3 regiments there, but many of the designated marksman got a 4x scope for their M16. The Marines are not considering changing back to the M14--I wish we were. The only M14's I saw were with the...
