    Birthday Coming-- What do I do?

    OK, my B-Day is next week. With any luck, the Wife will tell me I can go blow some money on gun stuff. Now the tough part. Do I get more guns or buy other stuff that I've been putting off buying? Case in point: I've had a .50 BMG upper for over a year now that remains unfired. Why...

    Garand Trigger Guards

    I have two Garands. One is 1942 vintage, the other is 1955. The 1942 rifle has a stamped trigger guard, and the 1955 has a milled one. As I understand it, the milled ones were earlier production and the stamped were later. When did the switch from milled to stamped occur? Should I...

    So I'm looking at ordering a Finnish M39. The options are: 1. Sako 2. Valmet 3. "B" barrel I guess Sako is more desirable, but is there any quality difference between Sako and VKT? Is the "B" barrel model worth $50 more? Thanks

    http://abclocal.go.com/kfsn/story?section=news/local&id=6083383 "According to Dyer, the officer managed to reach for his gun to protect himself but the clip fell out." One reason I don't like mag disconnects. Hope the officer will be OK.

    CA: Warden: Deer Deaths May Be Thrill Killings

    http://www.kcra.com/news/15085864/detail.html Thrill killing? Sounds like they were being stupid, but the Thrill Killing label just sounds dumb to me. If they wre just doing it for fun, why did they take the good meat?

    Peculiarities in Gun Taste?

    O.K. time to fess up. What sort of peculiarities do you have in your taste in guns? I'm not talking about Brand names. I've noticed that I like Parkerized finishes on military rifles, but not on handguns. I like Stainless revolvers, but not stainless autos. I like SA and DAO, but not...

    IN-- Postal Worker Had Bomb-Making Materials

    http://www.theindychannel.com/news/14475721/detail.html# Interestingly, the guns seem to be taking a back seat to the explosives in the story. I don't even see the phrase "assault weapon" anywhere. Do my copies of EFAD and UC constitute "anti-gov't propaganda? :scrutiny:

    Inexpensive glass for .50 BMG

    I've been looking into various .50 options, and think I'm gonna go with an upper, either Ferret or ALS. While browsing some auctions for Barretts, I've seen several that come with Bushnell Elite scopes. Checking out SWFA, I've noted that these retail for less than $200!! I was under...
