    Is the Wingmaster really worth it?

    Wingmasters are nice guns. They can be had used on Gun Broker for under $200 if you don't mind doing some refinishing. I picked up a Wingmaster receiver only for $50 since it had a broken ejector spring!

    Getting buckshot?

    I just purchased three cases of Remington Express 2 3/4" 00 Buck at Dick's. They match WalMart's price, so it came to $3.99 per box, $215ish, per case, with tax. I purchased two cases of Remington "Military Grade 00BK" at a local gunstore, $4.49 per box, $240-ish per case, with tax. There is...

    Mossberg 500 at walmart

    Buy it - but do not be shocked to find a LOT of plastic furniture on it. I got a 500 with a 21" barrel on sale at Dick's in the fall for $179. The trigger group, safety, and a few other ancillary parts are plastic. Compared to my 1985-built 500, it's a dog - the quality seems to lag a bit.

    Inexpensive 1911: Firestorm or RIA??

    I have never heard much good about the Firesstorm. Big plus 1 for the Rock Island Armory Tactical. Also consider the Taurus - that's a great 1911 for a low price.

    Did we ever think it would get this bad?

    Out here. Consider how narrow and small the gun/ammo supply chain and manufacturing base is too. It's a SMALL industry and is a SMALL % of overall retail sales.

    Gun Store Crowds

    While it is unpleasant to experience higher prices and scarcity . . . I am EXTATIC that people are buying guns in droves. Relatives and friends I thought would NEVER own a gun now have 1 or 2. Let every wanna-be buy an AR and an AK, let them buy 10! Obama, Holder, Pelosi, and Reid...

    True or False?

    I believe that this was a Darwin Award. It DID happen in form - but not in the substance presented. A scene depicting this took place in the movie "The Darwin Awards" too. "For example, a pair of men who are attempting to ice fish get frustrated and try to use a stick of dynamite to blast a...

    My non-tac cool 870

    I actually collect used and abused 870s. There is nothing like a worn Wingmaster. Nice gun you got there.

    heads up: fake pro gun sites now on the net

    Didn't you all read The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand. Forming phony "expert and professional" organizations is a core strategy of the Left. Really, it's brilliant.

    Lessons from a confrontation today

    Expvideo said earlier: "That being said, I agree that shooting someone rather than taking a punch is a great way to land yourself in prison. I also personally think that unless there is a huge disparity of force, it is really chicken**it of a person to pull a gun rather than take a punch. I...

    is any one at THR an Eagle Scout

    Being a Boy Scout was a thoroughly worthless and disappointing experience, IMHO. It's much too watered down and PC. Most of it was very heavily slanted towards father-son activities. Being fatherless I felt very excluded much of the time. And if you do not have parents with modestly deep...
