I think it is more important for handguns than rifles, and more useful. That may be because the handgun requires so much 'instinctive' feel vs. most long gun shooting (I've never been a long gun 'snap' shooter). It is also easier to get a handgun of the same design and even heft in .22 LR.

It would be so interesting, (probably sickening) to know the deepest thoughts running around in the mind of Ruth Ginsberg tonight and the past few days as the case comes to court, and just to perhaps hear her conversation with her husband on "how she sees it all". She was one of Slick Wil...

Why no leverguns...? For most of us the answer may be in the nearest mirror. Too many gun hobbyists have sat on the sidelines for fear of being too 'political' so now we're all on the verge of having not only a hobby declared illegal, but a nation, and a way of life. If it is just a hobby to you, fi...

The 2A proponents get their "individual right" finding, but can't so anything with it since governments will be able to say what kind of arms you may keep and bear as an individual. Noah I'll bet you're right. The ONLY intellectually honest opinion would be to find in favor of individual ...

Did I hear when one of the Judges ask Gura that machine guns and sawed off shotguns should be kept from interstate commerce Gura said he agreed. Was that correct? Seems like its going to be some sort of wording that will be "Reasonable". Yes, he did. The guy is a loser, I'm sorry, but you...

AJMD429

This Gura guy's a JERK! He's now saying it's OK to 'license' and 'test' for gun ownership. We don't need enemies with 'friends' like that...!

AJMD429

It is pretty bad when Alan Gura says 'machine guns obviously wouldn't be protected' yet Ruth Ginsberg had to point out to HIM that they were indeed proper militia weapons and therefore perhaps protected...!

Doesn't the famous shooter "Tubb" make a 'system' where you shoot jacketed bullets with abrasive treatment to 'polish' the bores...? It seems like one might do that, then slug the bore, and shoot oversize lead down the then-smooth bore...

...and i personally beilieve that even LE should not have full-auto weapons. I agree in the sense that THEY are supposed to request permission from their SUPERIORS (i.e. their employers, the civilians) as to just what guns and ammunition they may carry at any given time.

Really - when was the last time you heard a CANDID comment from any politician (other than if they didn't know the mike was on). I think we'd all respect them more if they were more candid, and we could at least believe that they were speaking what they honestly believed.

In a few years the kids will be older, and they will want to shoot WITH you, and that will be a bonding and educational experience for you both. Savor it when it comes. Maybe by then the wife will be finished with the 'toddler years' and able to dabble in the shooting a bit herself...

Would refusing to provide ammo to such a state be legal or possibly help the cause? Am I barking up the wrong tree? Sadly, yes, because MOST gun makers and gun sellers (and ammunition I'm sure likewise) have no corporate 'principles' - they would sell to the MidEast Terrorists and not the U.S. Citi...

I can't believe something as monumental as 'a pivotal Second Amendment case' only gets 15 minutes to be presented before SCOTUS. What the heck ELSE are they going to do tomorrow? How many OTHER decisions do they hear? Are the other ones anything very important? Anyone with insight as to how this pro...

Sounds like a good lesson in prioritization and not just 'going with the flow' because it is something you want to do. I had a similar lesson one time with my son when we were going to a gun show specifically to look for one thing that should have been $225 (AR lower). In the meantime, we pick up a ...

It drilled easy. I'll let you know how it works. Had to use a countersink and then stone it to get it to slide easily through the press sleeve, but now it's nice and smooth. I have a few hundred .38's to deprime, and that is one operation I do while watching a movie with the family, so I use the lit...

AJMD429

The plan is to make it as a functional safety but when turned so that you can see through it you are ready to shoot. Now THAT is really cool...at least if you have to have the &^%@#$ safety there, make it do something useful; you'd also never get the 'click' when hunting, because you'd have a p...

Lowes sells these for tools in the garage or garden shed, but they make great gun racks at the range; they are light enough to be portable (and take apart easily), but you'd want a couple shotbags or weights if you didn't fasten it down (mine is fastened). http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa132/AJ...

AJMD429

I think I saw someone had replaced the silly safety on a Puma 92 with a peep sight somewhere, but of course that wouldn't apply to an early Rossi or a Winchester, without the safety (I guess you could drill and tap it somehow but that'd be a real project). I have also seen ads for ones that straddle...

Wouldn't it be great if the forend of such a gun were made to quick-detach without removing all the tube magazine and hardware...!

AJMD429

Even with stainless, I worry about having water-soaked wood up against the barrel, action, and magazine tube after a day out in the rain. It seems like the plastic/synthetic is hydrophobic and would at least allow the moisture to more quickly dissipate if you put the gun in the furnace room or other...

I recently noticed the same thing, but was just using a de-prime die, so no sizing/scratching was involved.

It looks like you could drill a hole in the side of the ram, and provide an 'exit' path for the primers, and that's what I plan on doing when I get a chance. Anyone ever try that...?

...I couldn't wait to get out in the 10" or so of it and look for deer and sign. It's funny, but I have always just picked a spot I liked to sit, and hunted deer there (no looking for 'sign' or anything). It worked because there are lots of deer around my area, and because I could spend alot o...

I remember letting a 'city-kid' of about 12 years of age shoot his new BB gun on our farm, and I had one of those multiple-bullseye smallbore targets with about 12 bullseyes on it.

The pictures aren't very good, but hopefully they show the basic idea. These are see through mounts , not see through rings , and they are low enough that you can also still use the stock sights (or tang sights, if you prefer) as 'backup' or for faster use. I replaced the open sight with a 'peep' bl...

The good news is that at least leverguns don't malfunction this way; the bad news is the Gestapo is out of control and the public is clueless.

'Just a little' gun control is like 'just a little' socialism, or for that matter, 'just a little' heroin; it makes things worse, and serves only as an excuse for more of the same, until it ends very badly.
