    Are You At Work When Surfing This Site?

    Yep, I surf THR at work (but I don't post). I work for a big aerospace company, and while they block a lot of sites, I've yet to find a gun website that they block. The negative is that they don't allow properly stored guns in cars on campus, so we can't get together at lunch and go...

    Your very first gun..

    My first gun was a Sears semi-auto (made by High Standard) that my dad bought for me in '73 to practice with before I went to Boy Scout camp. The camp used single shot Mossberg target rifles, which I fell in love with. When I got home from camp, pop let me sell the Sears gun and use the money...

    Cleaning *Blued* C&B's with Windex?

    I've always heard the Windex to use is Windex with VINEGAR, which I've used for several years to pre-clean at the range. I still use hot water and soap at home. The blueing has been unaffected on my two lyman GP rifles, and my two Uberti pistols. Or you can always clean like the British did...

    Gun snob recommendations

    you can pick up a used Ruger P85 MkII for $200-225. I own two, bought new -- they're solid made and shoot all day. Good ergos too, at least for my hand. though they were recalled and fixed for free (but what ruger isn't?) good gun.

    How many 12ga proponets have actually shot a 20ga? Blind Poll

    I have 12, 20, 28 and .410. The 20 is my favorite, though if I ever go duck hunting I'll take the 12.

    What's your favorite full size 1911 that you own?

    Series 80 Gold Cup, and S&W Model 745. Both shoot better than I do. But I can still dream I'm their equal. :D

    I Got Bored, So I Fire Lapped My .22

    nope, you can't fire lap with one round, and how did you measure "random constrictions"? And you need a control group fired bench rest before any mods. and quit shooting at Lincoln! :neener:

    yep, shoot it or smack it with a shovel. Rattlers don't belong around people. people matter, snakes don't.

    Has anyone ever seen this movie

    yep, great movie. And it was made back when Eastwood wasn't so concerned with the enemy's perspective.

    Enfield British 303 scope mounting Choice

    S&K from Brownells too. Well made, works good. But remember to use Loctite on the three screws (I didn't the first time, and wasted 20 rounds before I realize the base was wobbling). And the S&K has weaver mounts, so you have a lot of ring choices. I used Leupold quick detach, and a Leupold...

    Whats the best lie you had a gun seller tell you

    Gun store clerk was trying to sell a Winchester Marine shotgun to the fella next to me. The clerk told him, "They call it the 'marine', cuz it's what the Marines carry".

    What's your "never buy" gun?

    Seems like everyone who hates Desert Eagles either doesn’t own one, or doesn’t have the muscle mass to shoot one. That’s what weight training is for, Ladies. If you actually owned one you’d be smiling when you shoot it, and scratching your head while you figure out how to...

    Want to see 40,000 lbs of guns melted down thanks to the LAPD?

    I’ll believe California cities have a cash shortage when they stop burning money, which is exactly what melting guns is. Have auctions twice-a-year and put the guns into the hands of law abiding citizens. And use the proceeds to pay the bills. And what’s with SWAT having to “protect” the...

    Now I know what I want the NRA to spend my dues on...

    Those guys at American Rifleman never met a gun they didn’t like and they’re too cozy with the manufactures. But you can still glean some useful info from their reviews. And the pictures are pretty. Gun Tests is much better for reviews. And they’re not afraid to give a gun an “F”, and even...

    Simple Green degreaser.

    I pre-clean at the range or when I first get home with “Windex Vinegar”. I read about it in a magazine a few years ago and it seems to work good, though you can’t find the vinegar version in all markets. Main cleaning is still hot water and soap, then Wonderlube inside and out while the...

    What is the last gun that you bought?

    Webley Mk IV revolver in 38 S&W. Local gun store even had a box of ammo, 50 rds for $43. Looks like this.
