I picked one up last fall from a pawn/gun shop. Out the door and only $79 lighter in the wallet.

This line of thought comes from the same people who think a dull knife (bayonet) on the end of a high power rifle makes it "dangerous". Never mind the fact that you can shoot someone at 300yards, if they get closer you might poke them with your pointy stick... geez. Evil? I say no. Get...

I put one of my old man's 1970 something mauser rifles in 30-06 into a Carbelite stock. At the same time, I floated the barrel and bedded the action. The attached image is 5 shots at just a hair over 100 yards with some loads of mine using a Hornady 165gr SST. Before the stock / floating /...

Old 1970's commercial Mauser in 30-06 (Free.. gift from old man) Cheap 6-24x scope $100 Bell & Carlson Stock $140 Fiberglass Bedding kit $12 The attached group is 5 shots and measures .896 inches at just over 100 yards. The range calls it 100 yards, but a members laser range finder calls...

I agree 100%. I too fall into both categories. I have several bolt guns for 4 leggers and a couple of camo shotguns for the wingers (and clay). They rest in the safe next to my SKS, AR's, and Tactical 870P shotgun. My suggestion is that we try to educate both sides to understanding the view...

Close... It's 922 (r) that he was referring to. You cannot assemble an imported semi-auto rifle with 10 or more imported parts (original or not) or it is a federal felony and carries a 10 year and/or $10K fine penalty (or is it a 5yr, $5k? Can't remember). The b!tch of it is that a completely...

I have a neighbor that once told me "Durham is the armpit of NC". I avoid Durham whenever I can. I have a friend that lives in Durham and bought his first handgun last year. Had to get the permit from the Sherrif AND had to fill out a piece of paper that lists the make, model, caliber, and...

+1 Exactly.

My two year old understands the difference between "Daddy's guns" and his cowboy set he got for Christmas. If you ask him "What's the rule around here?" his reply is "Don't touch Daddy's guns". If you ask him "What do you do if you find a real gun?" his answer is "I tell Mommy and Daddy!"...

No. This in practice will be used to make all guns a no-no. It's simple. You start small and take away a few here and there, then add a couple more features on the next ban, then a couple more... eventually ALL firearms will be banned. I already mailed this one to my Rep who is on the comittee...

Same here. I'm in NC and it is illegal to carry 1.)at a public gathering and 2.) any place that charges admission. I usually bring a zippered gun rug with me and unload and zip up in the parking lot. Every dealer that is at least half awake wants to see what I got and wants to know how much I...

I carry daily and put my carry piece in a quick access safe on the nightstand every night. No one handles the weapon except me. Every morning when it comes out of the safe and into the holster, I press check it and look at the holes in the mag to make sure it is fully loaded. Every night when...

Almost as good as the time a friend of a friend told me that he switched from a 30-06 to a 7mm Rem Mag becuase: "I shot a deer with a 7mag and it flipped up in the air and did a barrel roll before landing on the ground dead!" You gotta love the "experts".

Must have been a post-ban mag... not limited it 10 rounds. If the ban was in effect he would have only been able to get 10+1 max. From the list: Hon. Coble (R) North Carolina, 6th I can also say that Howard Coble is my rep and based on some of the letters I have received from him on issues...

Only if you want a tuff pump that will shoot forever and never let you down. Look down the list of shotgun accessories. Everybody makes a widget for the 870, so it is customizable for any need. As for the fiber optics, I have had good luck with Tru-Glo and they are fairly inexpensive.
