I'm glad you got the gun back, but I'm curious. It's a stainless gun. What caused the rust, sweat, blood, chemicals? Mauserguy

I use mineral oil all the time, but it comes from the auto parts store. Mauserguy

I have two thoughts on this. First, this is their moment to vent. Trump signing a huge spending bill is more important and will alienate more conservative voters than this Everytown protest. If the mid-term elections are a loss to the Second Ammendment, it will be Trump's fault, his betrayal...

I don't know why people expect so much from government workers. Yeah, four police officers waited outside for their pensions to kick in. Why is that surprising? Yes, you CCWs out there should always carry where legal and practical. Nobody is going to save you but yourselves. Mauserguy

I'm primarily a collector. I'll admit, they are utilitarian but they just seem boring to me. Also, they are too "me too" for my tastes. I prefer AK platform rifles for that reason, functional but a little different. The one exception I would make would be a retro gun, line something from...

As a native Californian I have to say it's our only hope is the courts. Frankly, we are awash with non-Americans who only value America for its economics. They don't love liberty. Maybe I'm getting all trumpy here but California is not American any longer. We have a lot to fix and a fence is...

Lead is a naturally occuring substance, that is true, but it is found in certain geological formations, not in your city ground water. Having said that, a little dros in your trash in the landfill is probably much less toxic than other trash. Mauserguy

I’m with SimonP on this one, as a Californian. I think that there is a good chance that this could be overturned in the courts. There are many ways to attack this on administrative and constitutional grounds. It’s happened before. Having said that, if Prop 63 is overturned, in whole, or in...

A lot may depend on the pistol's design. As an example, the WWII P-38 was a great gun, very innovative in design. They later introduced an alluminum version, the P-1 and they had all kinds of problems. Frames cracked a lot and the rails would erode. Walther ended up modifying it with a steel...

As Sergi said, a 24/47 is a modified model 1924. Basically, they refinished and shortenned the barrels after the war. Many had new barrels fitted, so they often make great shooters. They are great guns, but be aware of one thing, they are built on an action a hair shorter than the standard...

"I can't really think of credible arguments for this not being about the greatest time ever for buying firearms." Honestly Sam, you don't live in California. Mauserguy

Well, we're off to court. These laws will all be challenged, and some may be overturned, we'll see. Several years ago an ammunition background check law was signed by the Governator and it got tossed by the courts. We'll have to see how this holds up. As a native Californian...

Oh, by the way. Just to be clear, the Orlando shooter was NOT on the terror watch list. He had been removed two years ago. This proposal to ban people based on some bureaucrat’s opinion would not have stopped the Orlando shooting. We bring these crazy radicals into the country, just look...

I'm very opposed to this and I'm surprised that the NRA has taken this position. Clearly future liberal administrations will place large blocks of citizens on watch lists, denying them freedom of movement (no fly lists) as well as no firearms and, perhaps, other rights. The belief that...

I've got that same package, purchased in the early ninenties, I believe for 130.00. The good old days. Mauserguy
