Two observations: One, LEOs have to be MIGHTY careful about shooting at a fleeing suspect. I know some cops and they were trained that the "fleeing felon rule" is well nigh ironclad. In Tennessee v. Garner, 471 U.S. 1 (1985), the justices held that deadly force "may not be used unless...

McCaskill's response was a hellova lot better'n Cornyn's or Kay Bailey's. Both gave a butter-wouldn't-melt-in-their-mouth reply. Had to rinse my mouth out after readin' 'em. Half threw up. Saw a bumper sticker t'other day. Had just 4 words on it. Legislation Registration Confiscation...

Thanks, guys. Seems counter-intuitive for a dirty bbl to shoot better than a clean one but you are much more knowledgeable than I am. Damn! Gonna miss that special time with Ma Bell after a range trip. For me, there's something calming about pulling oily patches through the bore. But if...

I have an FNAR (semi-auto, sub MOA, shoots 308 win and 7.62x51) that I keep scruplously (OK, almost obsessively) clean. I was taught to clean a rifle while at OCS at Quantico (had it literally beat into my skull). The procedure was fairly simple - field strip the rifle, run oily patches down...

Thanks for the replies. As the redoubtable Screaming Eagle said, I have an FNAR and CANNOT simply "look down the Bbl. Second, as I said earlier, when I first tried zeroing a (not exactly expensive) reflex scope the thing was shooting incredibly high - at least compared to the sight. I...

Thanks, folks. The scenario I was considering was to get the relief set at the house and go to the range to zero the scope - actually I have two, one for short range, 100 yds and less, and a second for longer range. What I am trying to avoid is wasting a lot of ammunition getting up to a...

If, instead of shooting at a target (at half a buck a round) I were to place a laser in the chamber and align the reticule of my to match the laser point at 25 yards? Would THAT not zero the scope for 25 (and also 100) yards? I'm not cheap, folks, just not rich. I know the people here...

FNAR Anyone? I haven't seen anyone posting about FN Herstal's nice black FNAR. Handles BOTH .308 Win AND 7.62X51 (not all will take both, most want one or the other) and CDNN Sports was selling them for approx. $1,100. The FNAR is a 1 MOA rifle that with practice can do sub 1MOA groups...

ED_N is on target. Our DOJ has already shown that it will not enforce certain laws on certain classes of people - the Philadelphia voter indimidation case from 08 - and that it will not defend certain statutes - notably the Defense of Marriage Act - against court challenges. Why should we...

Thanks, G27. It is definitely on my "to do" list for after I earn my Rifleman patch from RWVA. If conditions are such that I need to send lead a quarter mile down range, I will need to be able to reacquire targets as quickly as possible. Please forgive my ignorance, but don't muzzle...

I figured you owned one. I was hoping someone might know of a bolt-on solution. Been reading over at the FN Herstal forum Bill_Rights provided the link to. Getting the same story. About "threading" the barrell. I trust that is something a gunsmith would need to do? Again I was originally...

Thanks G27RR and Bill_Rights. Yeah, I meant FNAR. Danged fingers get tangled up sometimes. Sad thing since I OWN an FNAR - and love it. Post edited to correct dumb****e mistake. OK, so I'll look at B_R's link. Was hoping someone here owned one of the beasties and had considered the...

Anyone here own an FNAR? I have a couple of questions about the feasibility of some upgrades/modifications I am considering to mine. Please PM me if you will. Please note that I am NOT interested in Tacti-Cool alterations. :barf: My questions are in regards to the...

By all means go to an Appleseed weekend. Heck! Pay $20 for a membership and keep going back for free (except for the range fee) until you earn your Rifleman patch. You cannot HELP but learn something - A LOT in fact.
