    Cougar kills young man in California

    This young guy in the video was lucky that he : 1) noticed the cat way up ahead, barely clear of the trees (Not looking down at a cell phone or talking on it). 🐈 2) could see that the cat ---Quickly Disappeared!--- was trying to partly flank him in the trees near the road. Our small cats often...

    The sks rifle. your thoughts

    PistoleroWadcutterGANG: You mentioned a .."happy marriage" and hope that the younger guys have "the chance to own a good one". I'm no longer young, but yes-- I own a good wife.😊 And I've owned a very good semi-civilian, commercial "Norinco" SKS. Excellent gun, but the lowest-cost (for the...

    Bayonet on rifle? Yes or No?

    Right now I have none. It amuses me that my stock newish S.A. M1A Standard, even after the sunset of the AWB years ago, couldn't be redesigned to have a bayo lug ($ ?). A different muzzle device is available With the lug for approx. $ 200 - no thank you.:thumbdown: But my Czech VZ-58 in 7.62x39...

    Show Me Your Lube Shelf

    1) Ballistol for its combined C-L-P functions. 2) Mobil One Auto Grease for the receivers. A decent product isn't required to have the word "gun" in the title.☺️ These guys are in the German Bundeswehr. Reportedly the German Navy "Kampfschwimmer" ("combat swimmers"), roughly equal to Navy...

    What did you shoot today?

    As depicted in the link in Slovenia, except that my 'G3 / HK-91' is the US clone, the PTR-91 "Classic GI". These hobbyists are neither LEOs nor VIPs., just typical citizens. My VZ-58 was manufactured and assembled in the Czech Republic, as was theirs. 4,200 documented rds. since mine was nib...

    Over heard at a local gun range.

    With no single event in the last year - it seems - to cause mass anxiety about ammo, & with basic Bulk .308 at appox. .72/rd before taxes etc…seen on “Ammoseek”.. …I can’t imagine what .308 will jump to during the Next bonafide panic. That’s why I’m buying some reserve, but with Non-reman. .308...

    What is the last gun that you bought?

    My first pellet rifle in about forty years, the Czech Slavia 630, in .177. This will be my sixth gun made in the Czech Republic. 🇨🇿 A very well-vetted member on a different rifle forum's Marketplace offered it today. It's not 'modern' high-velocity, but it will be nice to finally shoot...

    Opinions on the Sig P6/225?

    I have the forerunner of the German police P6: the German civilian P225 (lighter stock DA trigger vs P6), with the proof marks from the Eckernforde factory and the symbol for Kiel, where many Sigs were tested. Kinda cool to have its original green box and the test target used in Kiel Germany...

    Colorado Weapons Ban

    States’ legislatures apparently ‘copy cat’ lots of language so that they can use “Pattern-Bargaining” , which in the corporate world various mgmts use to negotiate with airline unions, but which mgmts normally vigorously deny using.

    A visit to a gun store in the Czech Republic.

    Savage30L: That's an interesting story about the Czech guy. I knew a guy (he prev. had been with Border Security) who escaped "East Germany" several years before the Wall came down, as a few shots were fired towards him by a river. As for the VZ-58, most people know basically nothing about...

    What did you shoot today?

    I've never owned a scope or red dot etc. Tried to hit the 200-yard, 8"x10" gong (this is their closest plate). Missed almost every time, but my friend said that nearly every miss was within a few inches of the small plate. But twice I managed to hit the much larger 300-yard gong: you can hear...

    A visit to a gun store in the Czech Republic.

    At 7:25 the American visitor asks about the legal right to defend yourself with a gun. This might be the only country in Europe where it is allowed.🇨🇿 Thousands of Czech citizens acquired the Concealed Carry Handgun permit and they also can own various semi-auto centerfire rifles such as ARs...

    Do You Change Your Every Day Carry When Going On Lengthy Out of State Road Trips?

    Not one bit. The extremely predominant danger is actually other drivers, especially on the winding 2-lane roads in rural areas. In 2018 a driver (at night) came around a 50 mph curve All The Way In My Lane (no sign of leaving it). When I could first see the car in the curve we were about —-8...

    Have you purchased anything gun related in the last three days?

    A really faded WW2 (RAAF/RAF) gray-blue Enfield sling to go on my (Century) semi-Aussie L1A1 FAL , which has an Imbel upper; the "right arm of the free world". I really like inherent character and no longer own guns which have little (ie the most popular rifle in the US).
