    How did 19th century "Shootist" get so good?

    more to it ammo wasn't cheap in 19th or the early 20th centuries. People couldnt go out and burn up a 100 rounds blasting away...each shot meant going hungry or not. Most of the nation was simply rural until the 1950s. Another point is that the vast number of "shootists" shot their victims...

    Military string used to choke?

    The Garrote has never been a defensive weapon. Proper employment involves dropping the wire over the head while pivoting and drawing the prey up against ones back while bending over. They are a bloody mess and as a rule will take the neck to the spinal column. Watched one at work many years...

    twenty pounds is the maximum allowed for residential stoarage in Minnesota. Answer is to keep your quantities of powder split as the federal maximum is 50 pounds. As far as muzzleloaders in this state people do need to be aware that Minnesota did recently modify the definition of "firearm" to...

    New Holster Stocks?

    mere possession of ONLY the stock is no issue what so ever. Now if it can be shown that you had under your control a stock and a non exempted pistol you could get hit. Treasury has been AC/DC on stocks for years. For example you can use an exact repro stock on a exempted Belgian P35 Hi...

    New Holster Stocks?

    Depends on the type of C&R pistol for example Broomhandles and certain lugers are legal with a reproduction holster stock so long as said stock duplicates the exempted original. Inglis High Powers, Radoms and others tho must be original manufacture

    Coolest Handgun Ever! I think...

    deal is the stock is way to short to be fired from the shoulder. There used to be an AR pistol that was BATF approved that was a 10" barreled CAR XM177 knock off with a CAR stock that was brazed in the collapsed position.

    Can I store Mags with a possible felon?

    Speaking strictly on a federal basis magazines are NOT firearms nor are they regulated in any way. Same goes for EVERY part of the firearm except of the regulated frame/receiver. No federal foul with a felon in possession of ANY of these things and highly doubt there is a state issue in Idaho

    Depends on who the character is you are attempting to arm: For example your typical average joe in the colonies ca: 1930 would not have been carrying Anything remotely high end by a top English gun maker. Its as well unlikely that he would have owned anything Lee Enfield based as even the #1...

    Minnesota and usage of deadly force

    You all can run it how you want, I am speaking from 50 years of experience in this state and how it does business in its courts. If you hear a noise downstairs, grab a gun and shoot the perp you better damn well be certain hes armed. Can recall several cases over the years where crap like this...

    Minnesota and usage of deadly force

    lets not get into arguing points of legal semantics on this. While your definition of "no means of reasonable retreat" may seem entirely reasonable to most of us here, myself included that will not be how the majority of Prosecutors will see it in much of the State. No reasonable means of...

    removing bluing from a barrel

    Best deal going is Brownells Steel White. Used it for years. Wipe blue and rust, unlike Naval Jelly or other acidic strippers it wont etch the metal itself. Hydrogen Peroxide sometimes is a great stripper as well in its more potent concentrations

    Minnesota and usage of deadly force

    Thats right, theres no clear law in Minnesota on legal application of deadly force by civilians and there is no such animal here as a Castle Doctrine which provides exemption if your home is forcibly entered.

    Minnesota gun laws

    Great many bad laws in the California of the Midwest Here are a few off the top of my head: Trigger activators like the HellFire gimmick are classified by themselves as illegal machinguns under State code A couple years back the State redifined the term Firearm to include basically anything...
