    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...

    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...

    Any great untapped surplus wells out there?

    Going to the CMP North Store has been a real treat for me for several years. After getting a C & R, I was able to expand my collection even further. What surprises me are the number of surplus firearms releases. Every time someone says the surplus market has dried up, another apparently untapped...

    Building an AR 10 with PSA 10 parts...advice?

    I decided to pick up a PSA 10 lower recently because the price was right. I want to build a long range precision rifle. I also picked up one of their uppers and parts kits for both parts. I plan on picking up one of their bolt carrier groups as well. I did some reading and I think I have all the...

    The NRA and possible violations of the Federal Elections Campaign Act or FECA.

    This is making the rounds on the net right now. It was originally released by Yahoo News. I saw mention of it on The Truth About Guns. Thoughts? https://www.yahoo.com/politics/the-nras-deceptive-shell-game-with-donations-a-116744915796.html

    Lack of import marks on firearms manufactured after 1968.

    The import marks thread got me thinking. I currently own an FN Browning Hi Power. It is numbers matching and manufactured in 1986. The odd thing is that I have completely stripped the firearm including grips and have failed to locate any import marks. How is this possible?

    Guns Save Lives and Georgia Gun Group NAIL it on M855

    This was just about perfect. They completely dismantal the proposed ban and they have the facts to prove it. Facts have never stopped the government before, but it is good information to have anyway...

    BATF protests? Can we look them up and protest their offices?

    We have an amazing grassroots capacity. Can we openly protest the BATF? Letters are easy to hide particularly since these bureaucrats aren't elected and have almost no culpability.

    M855 buyers need to settle down.

    I don't mean to sound condescending, but people need to relax about this. I don't mean to say we shouldn't contact congress and the ATF, but panic buying really isn't going to benefit anyone. Keep in mind that this particular ammo isn't known for great terminal ballistics. It has been widely...

    My views of American Sniper.

    I don't know if this is correct or if I should post this on The High Road but I felt compelled given some of the nasty things I have read about the movie to post it on some public forum including the Rolling Stone headline American Sniper is Almost Too Dumb to Criticize. Because of many young...

    Pro life rally ends up becoming a sounding board for gun control.

    During the Right to Life Rally yesterday, Reverend Rob Schenck used the opportunity of having a large audience to promote gun control. "It’s time for the pro-life movement and lovers of life everywhere to expand our vision of the sanctity of human life. It’s past time to defend the full...

    Sig Brace debocle and what I AM GOING TO DO.

    This issue has been consuming some time on various forums recently and I have given it some thought. I have found that they make a 5.5 inch flash suppressor. I am going to put said flash suppressor on my AR pistol with the SIG brace and weld it in place. I will keep the SIG brace and KAK buffer...

    Open carry? Use your head and respect others.

    A good opinion piece on open carry and how idiotic some protesters are. Frankly I agree with this guy. I wish these fools would stop "defending my rights." :fire: http://chrishernandezauthor.com/2014/07/06/please-open-carriers-stop-defending-my-rights/

    Attention Massachusetts. Sweeping new gun regulations just passed your state house.

    The bill would allow Local LEO's to strengthen local police chiefs' discretion in issuing purchasing permits. http://www.wbur.org/2014/07/10/mass-house-gun-bill

    Abramski v U.S. Supreme Court Decision (Straw Purchase case)

    Supreme Court Rules against "Straw Purchases" I am not really surprised by this. The Supreme Court ruled against straw purchases made for people who can legally own firearms. http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2014/06/16/supreme-court-guns-straw-purchasers/6180633/

    5.45 7n6 ATF ammo question. How is it legal under definition of AP? Is M855 next?

    I am a little late to the party and I know that. My question is in regards to the definition of armor piercing ammo and how the ATF is justifying the further ban of 7n6 ammo. According to regulations, anything that is greater than .22 (5.56) and has a steel core and chambered in a pistol is...

    Hey WWII collectors. This was my grand dad's pistol. Star Model B Nazi contract

    This was one of the firearms that got me into shooting. When I was a kid, it was the first firearm I field stripped and probably why I felt more comfortable with 1911's when I first got into pistols. My grandfather purchased this in the 1950's from a WWII Veteran he worked with. There is no...

    Feinstein calling on the prez to ban imports of semi autos under sporting clause

    Feinstein is circulating a letter in Washington demanding that the President use executive order to ban semi automatic firearms under the sporting clause of the 1968 GCA. I don't see how he legally could given what I know about the law and 922r. She even outlined the process importers use to get...

    Producer of 80 percent receivers Ares Armor threated by BATF

    The ATF threatened to seize Ares Armor inventory if they do not release the names of 5000 customers who purchased lowers. Apparently, the new and improved ATF has deemed that 80 percent lowers are now firearms, or at least they consider them firearms in California...

    Study on steel cased ammunition and bi metal projectiles damage to barrels

    An interesting test done by Lucky Gunner with steel cases and bi metal jacketed projectiles. Using bi metal, the barrels were completely shot out on 3 AR style rifles in less than 10,000 rounds using Wolf, Tula and Brown Bear. The control AR still held accuracy requirements beyond 10,000 rounds...
