Perhaps if 'they' (our rulers, since we long ago ceded citizen authority to the government) changed the rules so we were allowed to vote for more than one candidate, and we weren't pressured to vote for the lesser of two evils or the most 'electable' one, we could get where we need to be. 'They' won...

McCain is likely just another big-government idiot like most of the politicians we've let the New York Times 'pick' for us by calling them 'electable' BUT at least he isn't blatantly ANTI-GUN like ROMNEY is. McCain has actually voted pro-gun most of the time. Huckabee is legitimately and completely ...

I still have to say that I am extremely doubtful that the practical operation of this serialization project is going to fly. The sheer amount of computer input per day and the difficulty of maintaining the database is going to make it a very difficult and expensive project, which will result in del...

My Rossi 454 is the best made (fit, finish, smoothness) of the four Rossi's I've had. Functions fine, too. My 2007-vintage gun's buttstock has a soft plastic 'sleeve' in the tang-screw hole, which may be a response to the stock cracking issues; I don't know if they have always had that. Power-wise, ...

This kind of thing obviously would apply to relatives - they aim to 'catch' any guns that are transferred to wife, brother, sister, child. Pretty soon owning a gun that is NOT registered with the feds will be tantamount to a federal firearms felony, property seizure, and complete loss of firearms 'p...

I know how it is with the wind, though. We get plenty of that out here on the plains. :) A friend who lived in a semi-urban area (those long narrow lots maybe 3-5 acres in size) rented a backhoe, dug a trench maybe 4' deep and 3' wide straight out from his basement by the little sunken-window there...

I want a rifle with a side-loading gate, like the new Mossberg's apparently have, but can I put a scope on it? Or, do the rings have to be really high up off the rifle?? I may just get the new Henry .30-30 which loads from the mag tube itself instead of a side-loading gate, so that I can put a scop...

There are ALSO some adjustable apertures out there; I believe other postings go into details. If not, someone may re-post, or you can search for them. One kind is a multi-leaf 'iris' and the other simply has a disk with different apertures in it which rotates in or behind the face of the sight which...

Too bad that our rulers: a) don't do enough to thieves to make them think twice about stealing, so the result is we have too many burglaries by losers who never have to actually get a real job because the state provides 3 hots and a cot when they're briefly in jail, and in between times, probably pr...

The time I DO like the safety is when I come in like the other day, cold and sleety, stiff fingers, fogged up glasses, and need to unload a magazine full of would-be coyote killers I didn't get to use. I know all I have to do is be careful, and I won't even need to chamber a round as I cycle them th...

Oddest real gun I've seen in a movie = Calico 9mm pistol (100 round magazine is standard) - in Total Recall. You didn't see a Calico in Total Recall .

So where/when does it end? Not with all the voting you could ever hope to do. Because the voting is like killing ants with a hammer. While it may beat letting the ants run free, eventually you'll loose. It ends when people stop acting like spoiled children and start acting like the men and women th...

I like this sight that I put on my M39, tho not correct I like using it with the Lyman 17 front: http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d132/bsaride/Marlin%2039/VintageWinchester96rearsight.jpg Never had one so nice as that (it looks authentic to me!) but I have to my surprise found that an aperture sig...

I was getting ready to chew the other residents for standing around watching TV during rounds. One memorable thing about it was how at the point one smoke trailgoing up instantaneously became three smoke trails going at other angles (none continuing even remotely on the same path), it was painfully ...

Oddest real gun I've seen in a movie = Calico 9mm pistol (100 round magazine is standard) - in Total Recall. Gotta love Josey Wales' pistols (never could count exactly how many he had). Automag in one of the Dirty Harry flicks was over-rated, but kinda cool. And of course, the Model 29 of Harry's. S...

The posters who have said it "all began with the New Deal" might be interested in this essay by Garet Garrett (1878â€“1954), who was writing on the New Deal. http://www.mises.org/story/2726#3 His premise in part was that for the people who are worried about the future, and losing our freed...

After reading on Romney's background as far as gun control, there is NO WAY I could vote for him or Giuliani. McCain I think morphed in from one of many POWs with perhaps some consequent insight, to just another opportunistic and unprincipled politician. He says he's pro-gun, but his votes haven't a...

It isn't all 'doom and gloom' - look what I found on a COLLEGE PROFESSOR'S website, regarding functions of government - HE gets it, and perhaps some of HIS students will get it.

I'll still vote for Ron Paul. You CAN write in, you know. It's never this or that. The belief that "If I vote for someone who doesn't have as good a chance of winning, so it's just throwing away a vote..." is BS! -BS! Vote your conscience. I agree. The only time I've ever felt I "was...

The Mini-30 I won does not meet my needs for a combat rifle. It's a good rifle, but too many problems lay in hiding on the Mini's. Number one being the gas block system. So I'm thinking of selling the Mini-30 to purcahse an AK. The combat weapon would be covered then but I still want the AR or Spri...

And, after going through the yote', the slug'll go skipping across to................. :shock: :roll: THAT would be a potential concern near water, or ice, especially with any large relatively slow projectile.

But, it was the WWII generation that voted themselves Social Security, Medicare, grew the unions, etc. THEY kept FDR in office for four terms. Sadly, over the years of thinking and observing on this, I realize that this is very true; good people unwittingly setting the stage for the downfall of all...

I think I just ordered from Brownell's when I needed an extra Para part; they had stock and aftermarket both I think.

I thought you couldn't even own handguns, or semiautos, or something in Australia any more; what's the deal there these days?

I'm thinking about buying 2 more and drilling my Rossi 92 SRC to take one. 8) I almost FORGOT to mention - be SURE (REALLY sure) (REALLY SURE your SURE) to get the holes exactly centered. A sharp center punch and stepping up with drills from 1/16" on up worked for me. The .454 has a longer bol...

I posted a detailed writeup on the old site :cry: about the Taurus tang sight. I'll try to repost some this weekend if I can find the details about threading and so on. Suffice to say, the sights seem to me to be well made (metal), and have reasonably positive adjustments and reproducibility. I ther...

Only goat thing is they really CAN'T just eat 'everything' - they are very sensitive to too much protein, and they oddly enough don't have upper incisors - just like whitetails. There should be lots of internet info on goats. I know little about them except I'm the fence-maker, but if you have probl...

Not a 'traditional' gun, but I like the little Ruger carbine ('96/22'?) that uses the 10-round rotary magazines. Short lever throw, compact, and never jams. Just good old fun to shoot. Looking to put peeps on it, but right now have a red-dot that is good for showing novices how to shoot.

When I was a kid , we learned: George Washington 'gave' us a Republic, not a Democracy. He was a brilliant leader among a goup of uncommonly insightful political founders of our nation, who were admittedly a 'spirited' bunch. Hiroshima was a devastating but strategic military action which cost thou...

I'd not want to go spend $4,000 for an 'approved' hearing aid without first trying a $100 'shooting aid.' As a physician, my opinion is that once something is covered by INSURANCE, the quality deteriorates, and the cost escalates needlessly (look at health care overall!). I am fully aware that to an...

Yaz must be a lost twin of mine (sorry for him for the news); last year my son's PWD car was made to look like it had twin 'rocket' engines in the rear - made with two 45-70 jacketed hollow points glued onto the 'trunk' area. Mostly we were just experimenting by the reloading scale to see how much t...

I think you have to 'sign up' to get the load data, but I've found http://www.ammoguide.com to be helpful on that sort of thing. My printed out list is downstairs, and my connection too slow to just log on and answer you off their site, but I'll check my list and try to remember to post if I see any...

AJMD429, I will definitely have to look at this. You are right. I AM INTIMIDATED by the mere thought of reloading. You make it sound â€¦wellâ€¦at least manageableâ€¦LOL This sounds like a decent way for me to dip a toe into the deep waters of reloading. There is a guy here at the department that re...

Ron Paul is not a conservative, by the way, he's a Libertarian. I like a lot of that and hate some. The people who would consider the Libertarian party 'except for their position on ____' (usually the relegalization of drugs) are funny, because they'll turn around and vote Republican despite despit...

I'm not a historian but I think a photo of the right side of the action, and if possible top and bottom of receiver might help more - to show screw positions and so on. Somebody here will probably know exactly what it is.

You'd think Marlin would have gone gangbusters since their other US rival in the levergun business is out of commission, but I'm sure the Puma's are giving them a run for their money. Additionally, there is the fact that guns generally last a LONG time - how many of us are shooting guns made over 10...

If I ever learn to reload I could then make this a moot point by increasing the load for the rifle...Correct? Don't be hesitant to reload!

At any rate, it looks like I put way too much stock in the freemasonrywatch website, and let my misinformation get the better of me.

You go, DavidF!! Ron Paul is the first guy running for president in years who's not gonna whore himself to the major media and rich corporations, and has the record in Congress to prove it.

Do you think that's because the pointy tip just still can't make that big fat bullet 'streamlined' enough to retain velocity well? (I don't know the ballistic coefficients involved.)

1. What's the RMEF?

Howard Leight Impactâ„¢ Sport Earmuff - $59 Cabela's - best so far, in that they are a bit quieter as far as electronic hiss than the Peltor's I have - but my Peltor's are 10-15 years old, and very well made also. I think the Peltor 's use N and the Leight's use AA, but you literally will replace t...

If I had a daughter and some dude was abusive to her in any way. I'd probably be hauled away in handcuffs in no time flat.

For sport.... :twisted: ...don't forget mice, rats, and BUGS! I used to blast rats at an open trash dump as a kid - LOVED it when they'd scurry behind an old ceramic toilet or sink.

The "10-2=0" I like - it reminds me of the Christian 'fish' symbol - something not too flashy, but to those in the know it would mean 'fellow pro-gunner' and to those not in the know, maybe they'd ask and we could educate them. Might be a tad less intimidating to the non-gun crowd than wea...
