    Who has shot a "zero-jam" semi auto?

    I have had semi autos that have rarely had malfunctions, but never one that hasn't had any. There are too many factors-ammo, mags,etc, not to have one one in a while.

    Are you a shooter or collector?

    I am both. I love to collect and I love to shoot. There is only one firearm in the picture I have never fired and don't intend to. I love my C and R license and the CMP North Store. Please ignore the spots on the carpet. It has since been torn up and was the reason I decided to take everything...

    Stashed guns

    I keep a gun stashed...typically in my pocket inside a pocket holster or IWB holster. Much better than running to a hide and retrieving a firearm. Nothing is faster. When I sleep, it goes in the bed side quick access safe. I also carry a tactical light in my left pocket and a lever assist pocket...

    Do you want to get back at Bloomberg? Buy him an NRA membership.

    I thought this was a great idea. Yankee Marshall put this up on January 1st calling on people to make a stand against Bloomberg and Everytown by giving money to the NRA. What I thought was interesting about it was he recommended getting Bloomberg a gift membership to the NRA. He included...

    Do you have a surprise gun?

    The two firearms that surprised me have been my P64 Polish Radom and my 1944 Inland M1 Carbine. I purchased the Radom because it was under $200 with two mags and a holster. I really like to shoot the little piece and it is easy to carry. The M1 Carbine was an impulse buy. They had them at...

    How do you stack up?

    How is an M1 not a 30-06? That is what it is chambered in. I will never own a 30-30. That doesn't make me less of a man.

    7,000 Stolen Guns In One Place

    The best part of the article for me were the quotes from Mr. Rusty Fender. LOL!

    What's up with guns hidden/stashed in walls?

    We remodeled an old house and I sealed a number of things in the walls. I put a few old beer bottles, a section of wall signed in 1884 with black tar by the builders, a few poems and some jokes. The best thing by far was the human femur I sealed in the wall. It was from an old human skeleton out...

    SLR 106 CR problem rifle...SOLVED.

    Actually, the Russians have started producing a 5.56 AK. They have since the early 90's. My rifle would be the AK 102. It wasn't a caliber problem as much as it was a problem with the civilian incarnation of the rifle from what I read and only specific to the AB prefix. The feed ramp was the...

    AR platform in .30 Carbine

    Why not just get an M1 carbine? They are loads of fun.

    SLR 106 CR problem rifle...SOLVED.

    Well, a source of firearms frustration was solved today. I must say I am glad I spent the time figuring this one out. I learned some things. The firearm in question is an SLR 106CR, or a Bulgarian made 5.56 AK imported by Arsenal. Problems, FTF's, destroying brass and trouble with sight...

    I want a military trainer in .22 LR.

    What about a Kimber Model 82 Government? It was a military trainer, but I don't know if it was actually ever used. Single shot, competition sights, heavy Wilson barrel, heavy stock, slide stop and adjustable trigger.

    Silly Project in mind, care to comment?

    Sten gun. Please excuse the chipping paint. Part of that learning process I mentioned. I am going to wire wheel it and blue it. I thought all Sten sub guns were painted. I was wrong. I am planning a second Sten in a pistol configuration.

    Silly Project in mind, care to comment?

    First off, listen to MachIVshooter he has some serious experience. That said, I have always wanted to build an operational 9mm Storm Trooper rifle. The basis for the original in Star Wars was a Sterling sub gun. Obviously, I would make it semi auto. The original for the films had a WWII tank...

    Trump releases policy paper on Second Amendment...

    Trump is a side show freak. He is just there to provide a blocker for the Republican Party. He will say anything to get people to listen.

    Employer gun free zones

    I am a freight train conductor. There are absolutely no firearms allowed at work. I work in a pool that terminates on the south side of Chicago and I have to get down to put my train away. Englewood is one of the worst neighborhoods in America. I think it is a safe bet that I deal with more...

    Experiences with Gun Broker site

    I have bought and sold on gunbroker. I picked up a surplus Browning Hi Power a few years ago. Selling firearms is a snap and you can legally ship to an FFL if you are not an FFL holder yourself. Selling ammo can be a pain because you can't use USPS and the UPS stores won't handle it. I have had...

    New M1 Carbines

    The CMP recently released two options. What I was calling the modern reparked versions were recently reparked by the CMP and put in new stocks. They wanted 900 a piece for them. The finish was a light grey. The older versions, while many were refinished, were done at a military installation...

    New M1 Carbines

    I just picked up a 44' Inland for $800 at Camp Perry with a Winchester Stock and many Inland parts. Here is a thought. They were selling modern reparked models out there with new stocks for around $900. No doubt those will show up on Gunbroker. Given that they are freshly parked and of no real...

    G&A's 2015 list of best gun owner states

    I was really surprised at Ohio's ranking when compared to Michigan. I think their list is flawed. The pistol permit is still required if you purchase a firearm from anyone other than an FFL if you don't have a CCW. Ohio has no such requirement. I did notice that there was a far greater...
