    Would you support the No Fly No Buy List if they added Due Process?

    No. For all the reasons stated above. No secret lists to strip US citizens of their rights. If you're accused of a crime than you deserve the right to a fair trial before your accuser before your rights are taken from you.

    Stevens 555 experience?

    Thanks. I'm in Ohio but my relative is in Northern NJ. He has a whole one gun shop in his area. Slim pickings.

    Stevens 555 experience?

    Hi all- I have a relative that's looking for an O/U shotgun in 12 gauge. I'm really not a shotgun guy at all but he said that his local shop had a Stevens 555 in stock for ~$600 and it looked decent to him. A Google search shows that it's made in Turkey and has chrome lined bores. It also has...

    Help With Defective AK-74 Decision

    Did DDI say if they would repair it for you for a fee? If they're able to do the work at a discount it may be worth it as they're known to turn out a quality rifle. If not, I'd sell the rifle as is with full disclosure to someone who's looking for a Bulgy parts kit. Someone with the proper...

    Courageous big game hunting runs afoul

    It comes from projections that they will extinct in my lifetime and that the US Fish and Wildlife service is actively trying to add them to the Endangered Species act. http://time.com/3542783/us-fish-and-wildlife-service-african-lions-threatened-species/

    Courageous big game hunting runs afoul

    Craig- The arguments that I'm seeing to excuse the hunting of endangered species is that its such a good conservation measure. So, yes, if all of these trophy hunters are doing this for conservation of the species and not just so they said that they shot a lion while they're still able to...

    Courageous big game hunting runs afoul

    Craig- I did read post #65 and what I get from that is that when these countries crack down on legal hunting, the money associated with it stops flowing and forces the locals to poach in order to replace that lost income. What I'm suggesting, is that the hunters that are hunting for...

    Courageous big game hunting runs afoul

    Well, just what makes the money that trophy hunters pay for their hunt so much better than any money that conservation organizations allocate to try to preserve the same species without killing them. A rich Westerner that pays a ton of money to kill an animal so the local poachers can't just...

    Which caliber do you shoot the most?

    Other. 5.45x39. Still have a bit of 7N6 laying around but even the new production stuff is cheap enough for frequent plinking sessions and the 74 is a joy to shoot.

    Cecil

    I'm not really sure why it matters who broke the story. The reason that I believe that it spread so quickly is because a majority of people, even those involved in gun rights and the shooting sports find trophy hunting objectionable. This was made much worse by the fact that the animal was a...

    Courageous big game hunting runs afoul

    Even if had no knowledge of legal wrong doing, I can't really fathom anyone that would defend the practice of baiting an animal and shining a spotlight on it so it can be shot with an arrow solely for a prize to hang on your wall. I would think that this practice would offend even most US...

    RAS47 (Century Arms)

    I don't see them making anything in .308 because of the lackluster sales of the Zastava M77 that they just imported. They were super cheap and seemed to be good quality but didn't seem to sell well. I would like them to make something like the Zastava M91, or just import that with a...

    Century RAS vs. C39

    The milled receiver adds a little weight and regidity but isn't necessary for the platform. The furniture options are going to be a little slimmer going with the c39 because it is a milled rifle. It also has a 4140 barrel versus the 4150 barrel on the RAS47. Many say that the 4150 is a...

    The Most Blatant Lie yet from Moms Demand

    But, in that case, the firearm is advertised online, not purchased. Payment and delivery of goods are both done in person. In my opinion, they are purposely mischaracterizing this to lead people to believe that Armslist operates like Amazon where they pay online and get the firearm at their...
