    The beginning of the end? First National Bank breaks ties with the NRA following customer outrage...

    It is the start of finding out who is who and where is your ideology when put to the test. The key reason I voted for Trump is that each of us will find out exactly where the other stands. Know your enemies and friends. Now you are starting to find out. This dynamic is not exclusive to the gun...

    Teach an old dog a new trick...CZ Mallard Question

    Being a bit budget conscious and having a darned time with all the terminology, and also being a BIG CZ fan. I would like this groups thoughts on the CZ Mallard 12g 28" as an entry into the shotgun world. I'm visiting some friend in CT next month that want to take me to their SC club for an...

    New Restrictions For Checked Guns Following Shooting at Florida Airport..

    That is the exact point I wish people could wrap their mind around. All these laws and rules and regulations are substitutes for personal responsibility. I think you have cut to the heart of the issue.

    Remington 783

    I am a satisfied paper shooter with my 783. my 30.06 rounds go where I want and I haven't had one issue with the rifle. I only sanded the stock to relieve some side pressure on the barrel. now it floats free. Quite satisfactory. I'm looking forward to my first deer hunt with it and have no...

    LeMat... Worth It?

    I would love to get my hands on a functioning Lemat. but then again, I am a huge fane of Deathlands and Doc Tanner. Secret- It is that series that first drove me to the store to purchase my first gun. I went in looking for s Sig Sauer P226 and walked out with an Springfield RO and a Sig P250...

    Double Stack 1911 Safety needs to be changed

    Thanks for the choices. If those are the widest, short of custom, then I'll have to bite the bullet with just one and hope as they are a bit pricey.

    Double Stack 1911 Safety needs to be changed

    I have a Rock Island Double stack .40 1911. The pistol seems based on the Para design. Issue. I am left handed. The ambidextrous safety (right side) digs in to the base of my thumb in a horribly painful way when fired. I rest my thumb on the safety and that is not going to change...

    surface Preparation prior to new finish

    What about surface preparation? If there are light pock marks, from rust I assume, does that usually get buffed out? Or, do certain finishes 'smooth' minor irregularities?

    surface Preparation prior to new finish

    This is a question of what to expect and look for when choosing someone to refinish an older pistol. I recently purchased one of those older low priced CZ 83' that tend to show up in batches every once in a while. The components are in good shape and I am currently in the process of taking it...

    IMR 4064 / 165 gr 30-06
