If your firearms are insured, make sure that you have documentation that will satisfy their claims folks. I keep all relevant purchasing information plus photos showing condition in a folder in my safety deposit box. If things get stolen, the police will want the basic firearms info, the...

Not quite all. I was trained on the M1 Garand and the M1 carbine.

Obvious for me: Broomhandle Mauser in .30 Mauser.

Before I put a penny into this I would want a lot of financial information on this outfit. How is the place financed and by who? After the mess of the operation down by Las Vegas I would be extremely cautious. The early money there got royally raped. This appears to be a potentially large...

Colorado would be a good choice in my opinion although Denver is extremely gun unfriendly. The rest of the state is very nice although you may want to leave out Boulder, they seem to idolize Berkley Ca. In Washington you may own a suppressor but you can not attach it to a firearm. :mad...

I voted "other" because I think training/instruction is the most important. Practicing bad habits won't do very much. I used to shoot Bullseye and later Benchrest. I had good equipment but it took a lot of practice AFTER good instruction that I made real progress. A good instructor can help...

I created a small scrap book kind of log. A picture, plus date and cost of purchase and any identifying marks. I keep the book in my safe deposit box at the bank. If you ever do get burgled, I know it can't happen to you, you will probably wish you had better record keeping. If the police...

You should keep whatever records required to establish ownership and purchase cost. This information is good to have and may be required if any are lost or stolen. The police will want identifying information in case they turn up in their business, the insurance company will want some of this...

If you really would like more detailed information you might consider taking Wolfebyte's approach and ask the police chief of Early, Texas. He may wish to answer your questions. Just a thought.

If any of you are interested in what happened, there is some real good info at:http://www.guns.com/texas-gun-owner-shoot-out-10236.html This includes a pretty good description of what happened as well as a good interview of the shooter and the local police chief. Like I said, if you are...

Terry back in post #25 you mention "with about 16 turns per inch rifling twist". I think you mean 16 inches per turn. I have never seen any firearm with 16 turns per inch. I did not check out your math to see if this was a consistent error or just a typo. Allan

Get a small narrow safe that will fit in the end of one of your closets NOT in your master bedroom. Bolt it to all of the walls that you can as well as to the floor. If need be get two or three of these depending on how many closets you have. The bad guys almost always start in the master...

I believe he used a .38 Colt automatic Pistol that had been modified to fire fully automatic. If I remember correctly it was his favorite weapon for his last couple of years. He was a very nasty fellow.

I watched his review of the BSA 10/22. If that is his idea of a fine rifle there is nothing that he has to say that might be of interest to me. 10/22's might be a good inexpensive plinker but not close to being a fine rifle or one worth bragging about.

Dimis that is an excellent way to keep a record. I did one long ago using Lotus 123. Easy to update. Keep a printed copy in my safe deposit box along with photos and purchase paper work. I was burgled years ago and lost a 1911. The police wanted the serial number, the insurance wanted...

I have personally fired a truck drawn 105mm howitzer and a tractor drawn 155mm howitzer. These were fun times in the Army National Guard a long time ago.

First: Go to some of the matches and see what others use and how well they seem to do the job. Second: See which of those competitors have a used piece they want to sell. Try them first and see how you like it. It is always cheaper to start in competition with someones used firearm. Then if...

Ma Duce is great but you should have a lot of room for fun. We have a full auto shoot here usually twice a year and I have fired most things a few times. Thompsons are really very heavy with either stick or drum mag. BAR's run a bit slow or so they seem to me. The M3 that is usually around...

Congratulations. All of the best to you and your family. You may wish to consider a nice .22 rimfire such as a S&W Model 41. Again, all of the best to you and yours. Allan

If your lawn mower does pick it up I believe it will make a bit of noise, similar to a small rock or such. A small explosion may occur and that pop may surprise you a bit if it happens. That surprise while operating your mower may be the most danger presented. A bit of a loud pop whilst...
