S&W 642 for a CCW when absolute discretion is needed. Picked up a CZ452 Scout also to teach my daughter shooting.

LGS charges $48 for a transfer fee if you have a firearm shipped to them. Hardware store does it for $15 My experience has shown that the LGS tries to push what he has on hand and not what I want. First AR I bought in 2008 the LGS didn't even have mags for sale in the store and they...

Done, and I agree this should be a sticky. :D

When my wife and I bought our current house I noticed that the current owner was a gun owner. My wife had no clue. She asked how I could tell and I said the picture (copies) of the Dec. of Ind. and Const. in the family room was a dead giveaway. In the basement he had "what appeared to be"...

Them: Guns are bad, they look scary. Us: Lets enforce the thousands of laws we all ready have and let citizens protect themselves.

Nice stick!

Reply from IL Lt. Gov. I'm suprised I got a reply. This has been the only one so far. :rolleyes: Thank you for contacting my office. I appreciate your thoughts regarding the Second Amendment rights of all Illinois residents. Hunting is an important tradition across the...

Just donated $100 to the NRA-ILA. Just imagine if everyone just donated $5 or $10. I have been a long time member but have not given in the past. I plan to remedy my scrooged behavior for the future. :) Jaybird78

Normal for that finish. If it bothers you I believe Permasilk makes a spray can with the same finish. I believe if you can't find the info by google then go to Armalites website and they mention the product.

Ruger 10/22 (personal rifle) Years ago the bolt chipped under the extractor groove. They wanted me to send in the complete rifle. I didn't because of aftermarket mods so I just sent in the polished bolt. They sent me a new one no questions asked and they even polished the new one for me. :D...

I bought a Ft. Knox handgun safe for the closet. It has a mechanical lock and seems pretty stout. I've had it for over a year and no problems so far. Price was around $160 but that is cheap insurance because I have a little one at home also.

You screwed up. Because what this guy ^^^^ said is absolutely true.

Takes some guts to post about your accident. Hopefully all will remember safety is priority #1. I caused a vehicle accident years ago....16 years old and full of fire..only minor injurys....I'm still driving today. Nobody is perfect.;)
