    Guns and Ammo rank the top 38 states for Gun owners

    Agreed but the ranking is weighted. With 40 out of 50 points Ohio isn't a bad place to live. Easing up on the CCW requirements and a bit more reciprocity would help though. The MSR score is only 7, so even though it's not mentioned in the description it appears the magazine restriction is...

    Gel test: 12 ga birdshot wax slug

    Actually the overall mass is slightly less. You lose about about 1/8 oz. of shot from a 1-1/8 load. The wax itself replaces only a portion of that mass. I'm not surprised by the lack of penetration. They are basically somewhere between a breaching round and a frangible round. They may not...

    They could just vote multiple times like Obama supporters did.

    Public Ranges--do you trust them?

    Are you referring to Grand River? Thinking about heading over there once in a while once spring comes.

    Today's hearing did not discuss psychotropic medication

    Actually the links between SSRI drugs and aggressive or violent behavior have been documented. Most cases were otherwise harmless people having sudden psychotic breaks after starting or just after stopping these meds. Even in the case of Virginia Tech. Have any of you seen the pictures of Cho...

    Link to the list Feinstein's

    Anything black and/or with a pistol grip goes on the list. Also noticed Beretta CX4, Kel-Tec Sub2000, HiPoint Carbine and all variants of the Thompson. None of which are even close to their imaginary "assault weapons".

    What's wrong with this picture?

    Did anyone else notice the text just to the left of the barrel. Apparently they also believe flash hiders actually make the muzzle flash invisible.

    how tough is polymer really

    Didn't the G36 have problems with the heat of sustained rapid fire though? Very hard to get a pistol that hot. I once fired 500 rds. in my G34 in half an hour. Burned all the lubrication off but didn't even damage the guide rod.

    Marlin 336 reliability

    Wait...WUT? The Mossberg I could see but, aside from converting it to full auto with some type of hopper feed, how did you manage to wear out a MKII?

    .223 Case (Really) Stuck in AR15

    I would start trying solvents. Acetone should work well on a polycoated case, and lacquer thinner should work well if its a lacquered case. Either way it should have to soak for a while before it penetrates enough into the coating. If that fails I would put the barrel in the oven at 300-400*F...

    Mossberg Maverick 88 Question

    You could also make sure the barrel isn't too tight. If the bolt is more than finger tight the tension it puts on the receiver can bind the action.

    Is there any such thing as.....

    Browning BLR. Has a box magazine. Not available in .357 mag though. +2 It's a non-issue will pistol caliber leverguns. Pistol rounds do not typically generate enough recoil to set of a primer in the tube. They also have flat nosed bullets and even FMJ is too rounded to do it.

    If you prefer bolt action..Why?

    'Cause they're just better and more fun?
