    Gun club costs and usage

    My club is $300 to join and $50/year after that with work days and RSO duties. We have a rifle & pistol range and trap/clay games side. Club meetings serve steak & salmon and we have a full bar as well! Costs are subsidized by having public hours a few days of each week, although it have...

    Dri-lube on Choke Tubes

    I just use the same grease I use on the rest of my shotguns. Never had any problems running my semis and O/U with grease. I use Pro Gold because I bought a tub about 15 years ago and haven't run out yet.

    Black Aces shotguns??

    I believe Black Aces is merely an importer of Turkish shotguns. Problem with no-name Turkish shotguns is that there are probably no parts in the US for service or repairs. I just tried to find Black Aces warranties and could find nothing on their website or on the internet that even mentions...

    California mag ban reversal 14 Aug 2020

    If you read the ruling, it spends a lot of time explaining the commonality of LCMs and how they were designed to go with a firearm, which is one of the reasons for this ruling, so passing an 11-rd limit wouldn't fly.

    California mag ban reversal 14 Aug 2020

    Yep. States under 9th Circuit jurisdiction include: Alaska, Arizona, California, Hawaii, Nevada, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, & Montana. So not just California has been affected by this ruling. The biggest danger CA gun grabbers face now is it they appeal all the way up to SCOTUS, and lose...

    Newbie getting into firearm industry

    I agree with the ones who recommended the military route, although rather than Army, I suggest Navy or Air Force. These two branches need more technicians and specialists so recruit heavily. Talk to your recruiter and get directed towards missile programs. You'll get to prep and service the...

    Why is there no +P 147 grain 9mm?

    Historically, 147gr 9mm was originally manufactured to operate subguns with their heavier bolts/springs. These were already plenty hot and could even damage some pistols. +p and +p+ came much later, and there was no standardization to them anyways and IMHO, probably only useful in short...

    Out of character purchases

    Last two purchases this year were really out of charachter for me. I bought a Chiappa Rhino revolver and an O/U shotgun. Next one planned will likely be a lever action rifle. Just wanted to get something different from my regular purchases, typically M1911 pistols and black rifles.

    Aging eyes

    If you can't see the front sight clearly, get different front sights! Solutions can include XS Sights Big Dots; fiber optic front sights to really make it "glow"; or adding a red dot sight to your firearm. I suffer from monovision with my weak side being dominant so I have tried all of the...

    Long term storage - desiccant or oxygen absorbers?

    Dessicant not only absorbs moisture, but it will also RELEASE moisture.

    Phillipine Gun Making, Handcrafted One At a Time

    Not correct. We're talking about Cebu, the next most industrially developed province after Metro Manilla. They build ships there, not break them apart. Cebu is know for their beach resorts. You're thinking about the ship breakers of Bangladesh & Pakistan (and sometimes India) where rusted...

    How many rounds should your carry gun have loaded in it?

    While entertaining, Paul bases a lot of his information from shooting watermelons. If you want to see real-world defensive encounters, look at Active Self Protection on YT. The average # I've always heard from trainers is 3 rounds within 7 yards, but what if there's more than one BG? Be...

    Phillipine Gun Making, Handcrafted One At a Time

    Sorry but you're confusing the Philippines with Bangladesh, India and Pakistan. Their likely source of steels are from old trucks and obsolete factory machinery, possibly steel blanks sourced from China.

    Customs and Border Protection Chooses Glock as New Handgun

    You sure they didn't choose Glock because it was the lowest bidder? Standard MO for agency procurement. Glock bids low and includes additional incentives like service parts and buy-backs of current issue d weapons.
