Since Fox had a capital F, I thought it was about Vincente Fox.

Several companies take the Ruger Mark III and put on an integral suppressor that looks like a heavy barrel. It's really cool because it doesn't look like something "evil." And they are so quiet that the loudest sound is the action cycling.

Turn the speedloader so the holes are up. Insert the rounds. Put your hand or a stiff flat surface such as a piece of wood on top of the rounds. Turn the speedloader over so the bullets are resting on a flat surface. Push down on the knob, then turn until you hear a click. When you...

I have an Ar with a fixed front sight. I would like to put on a new gas block with a rail so I could attack a folding front sight. Does this require much in the way of tools or dexterity? I have only a little of each.

Currently I am not cleaning primer pockets on the .38s. I usually do on rifle cases or when the brass on the .38s looks really dirty. I'll give it a try and maybe buy some federal primers. I thought I was pushing the primers in pretty hard, but who knows? I stand the cases up to make...

If you think that information would not be stored, you have never spent any time around government agencies.

In .38 I usually load HBWCs for a Ruger Security Six I shoot in a target league. I decided to try some of these light loads in my snubbie and got about 30% failures to ignite. I switched from Winchester to CCI primers with no change. The snubbie sets off commercial loads fine. (It's a...

I did the same thing last weekend. I thought I had installed the right shell holder in the auto primer and kept getting poor primer seating. It took a while for me to fact the fact that I had done such a stupid thing.

I didn't say it was easy. In fact I said there was a lot of paperwork and regulation. I didn't say it was a right of the people. I just said that folks who say there's a ban are wrong. Are you disagreeing with that? I don't understand the point you are trying to make. The point came up in...

Just as a little comment and leaving aside the main topics here, Luxembourg does not have total gun control. I don't know why both the NRA and the Brady group say it does, but it's not true no matter how many people say it. It is not that hard to own a gun in Luxembourg. There are gun...

I had a chance to handle the FN Scar at the Midwest 3 gun, which feels ergonomic and is easy to strip.

I don't know the laws in detail, but Italians do love to hunt, especially for migratory birds and hogs. I've also been to an IPSC match there, near Florence. In most of the European countries where I do know the laws it's possible to own most types of guns if you are law abiding and willing to...

Weird ricochets certainly occur, but I have seen and heard plenty of people confuse the supersonic crack with a ricochet.

I doubt they are "random." I think that's media-speak for "I don't understand why." But I know what you mean.

Opinions differ. I think everyone needs to analyze themselves first. Are you the kind of person who cannot shut up once you start talking, especially under stress? If so, the less said the better. My plan would be to say something like "he tried to kill me, I defended myself, over there is...
