There was a case a while back in my town, where someone broke into a woman's home. She didn't have a gun but fought back anyway, driving the intruder out finally, guess he'd had enough of her (sorry, can't remember the details). Anyway the PR spokesman for the police wrote a letter to the editor of ...

Latest I heard, the LA Times simply reported this wrong, and there is no threat to homeschooling in California (at the moment).

It doesn't look wonderful, but it does look better than the way most scopes mounted on levers look. And it retains the handiness. The looks could be improved with scope choice: a small 1" tube scope like the old adco, about half the size of what you have on there. Then get some low-low rings (I...

I have the .358 BLR. It is a great thumper (on lined-up milkjugs anyway :) ) considering the light weight of the gun and the recoil is not bad either, even shooting Speer 250gr bullets at around 2250fps. I was going to use the Speer 250gr GrandSlam for hunting elk in grizzly territory, but so far on...

What, no bighorns?

I've driven by the start of 212 quite a few times in the last couple of years. Maybe I ought to try driving it once.

The fundamental purpose of government is the maintenance of basic security and public order... Funny, I always got the impression the fundamental purpose of government was to extend the power and enrichment of those who are members of it. Nobody here is saying we dont want a Govt. We dont want a ma...

I was going to chime in with the crowd here and say I hate large levers, both for looks and function. But that DRC lever actually looks pretty good. And, I can see maybe adding a leather wrap around it like I've seen some do which would be easier on the fingers - the slightly larger loop making that...

What jd45 is getting at, if I'm not mistaken, is that the throats probably were 20 to 30 ten -thousandths undersized. If they were 20 thousandths undersized for a .358 bullet, that would mean the diameter was .338! Or maybe I'm just missing something here... :roll: Great thread by the way. I believe...

Heck, I'd be thrilled if they would just read the bills they vote for. Often they don't even bother with that.

The last thing I want is a president on a mission to "do good". "Of government, at least in democratic states, it may be said briefly that it is an agency engaged wholesale, and as a matter of solemn duty, in the performance of acts which all self-respecting individuals refrain from a...

he has broken "ZERO" laws Bush (like virtually all other presidents) has broken the highest law of the land, the US Constitution, so frequently it is pointless to try to enumerate it. Hell, he called it "just a g** d*** piece of paper!" Even his solicitor general's opinion on th...

The rounded back of the front sight causes reflections which makes for a poor (and varying, depending on sun angle) sight picture. Ross Seyfried used to advocate cutting a flat angle there to eliminate that rounded curve. I tried it once on a Bearcat using just a dremel tool and the side of a cut-of...

I have a KHornet barrel for my Thompson TCR. My most aggravating rifle because I can't make it shoot, and I've certainly tried a large number of loads. Probably something wrong with the chamber or barrel (the other barrels shoot fine).

The KHornet case is high on the cute factor though.

Mic McPherson has a formula in here for the velocity you want:

It's about revolver loads but I suppose it applies to long guns too. Personally, I don't know - my experience here is limited.

Burn 'em down. No mercy. I used to think this way. If you don't mind having your gut in a churn every day for the next year or two (never mind possible under-the-table repercussions), I suppose that's a way to go. Personally, I don't think you would be doing any good. There is no way to root corrup...

Folks with "stiffer backbones" bleed out just as fast as the rest.

As do would-be confiscators. And there are more of us than there are of them.

But go ahead and turn your guns in. Ain't no one here stopping you. Why even wait for them to tell you? Safer for you to dump them now.

Scout scopes are iron sights for old eyes. Best gun invention in a long time... I've dug around the internet about red dots. Seen several claims that accuracy improvement over iron sights is substantial, even though they are non-magnifying. One of the smaller 1" tube sites on a scope mount is n...

When you see someone shooting a magnum, you just know you can make some money off him.

I MUCH prefer the 86/92 action over the gut-schucking 94. Hey, no kidding. I just laughed the first time I cycled a 94. :) Agree with Gun Smith. Rear locking lugs are for the birds, but hey, you just use them within their design parameters. Which brings up a question. I think I've seen it in a load...

Since no third party candidate stands a chance of willing, and no write in does either, it simply comes down to this; do I vote for McCain and take a chance he won't totally FUBAR this country, or vote for Obama/Clinton who will without a shadow of a doubt FUBAR this county. That's interesting. How...

I have discovered a method for eliminating all these problems: don't hotrod your loads, or even approach manual maximums. Stick with starting loads or just a bit warmer. The deer will never know the difference. Trust me, it makes life much easier. That's what we're all after, isn't it? (I admit I'm ...

What is the job of a politician? A politician's ONLY job is to run for reelection. That's right. But it works both ways. If he can get elected and re-elected by betraying gun owners, he will do that. If he can get elected and re-elected by betraying his former allies the gun prohibitionists, he wil...

Have been for decades, but not anymore. I'll put my money with GOA and JPFO. No compromises.

Same here. I see no need to encourage their traitorous actions with my membership, so I have taken my business elsewhere, to GOA and JFPO. While telling them loudly why I left (not that they care).

Gentlemen, if they ban guns, we are already at war. "Three millions of Whigs, with arms in their hands, are a very formidable body.... The Acts must be repealed; they will be repealed; you cannot enforce them." -- William Pitt There won't be a total gun ban any time soon; the powers that b...

Well, for us non-economists, I don't expect it's intended we understand every little bit of the thing.

I just have read the 4 answers to each question and took a stab at each one.

Now that our economy is starting to get attention (due to the impending crash - talk about getting worried too late to do anything about it :roll: ), you might want to find out what YOU believe. How is the economy put together, how does it work? Find out what school of economics you subscribe to, by...

I agree with you 100%. BUT, I just don't see people actually doing this. Every one englishman stood by while the government melted their handguns. I believe the problem here is the way it's phrased. Yes, I don't see "people" doing this either - if you define "people" as the majo...

Do we have time to pass a petition to get Reagan on the ballot again?? A dead man cannot do worse than the lot we've got now. Already been done.

If you want to make more visible targets, you can buy black craft paper in 3-foot wide rolls. I've gotten it in children's stores. Usually I buy about 10' of it, it lasts forever, and is very cheap. I usually pre-cut it into differing size squares. Then at the range depending on what I'm shooting, I...

Don't get me wrong, fellas, I like my mini - for the cuteness factor. But with the Keltec P32 and P3AT, there is no excuse any more for using something so ill-advised for self defense as an NAA mini. Actually I tried carrying mine for a little while, way back when. It made me feel naked, and I didn'...

I have to agree. Anyone in that position must exercise judgement, no matter what his background is or how worthy his past actions. Comments like that do tremendous damage to our cause, and give aid and comfort to the enemy. In fact the more worthy and important the person's background, the more dama...

Angular momentum depends not only on the RPMs but also on how far each atom of the bullet is from the center of rotation. Fat bullets have more atoms farther out, thus more angular momentum for the same RPMs. I'm guessing part of the 357's questionable reputation has more to do with poor shot placem...

I've got the Freedom Arms version of that gun. The hardest thing to hit with, ever. It is a joke for a defense gun. I'm amazed this guy managed to get the job done with it.

Mike Venturino did an article on the camp carbines a while back; I cut it out and filed it. IIRC the 9mm had very modest velocity gains, virtually none for the heavy bullets (not enough powder!) The .45 did better. None were anything like the Magnum caliber velocity gains we see. I have a 9 camp car...
