    Helloo......... I recently just picked up a 66-1 and was comparing the muzzle crown of the 66 to my 686-5. On the 66 the crown is rounded, whereas on the 686, the muzzle crown is flat (looks as if the end of the barrel was machined flat) and the rifling ends at the edge of the barrel. If...

    As of Now the AWB is Dead!

    Old Fuff and Waitone are the closest to getting the scenario correct. This is what I fear: A horsetrade and midnight deal. MEANING that the dems give up their opposition to the lawsuit liability bill for gun manufacturers IF the dems can attach the reauthorization of the AWB. This is what I...

    If the mag ban dies, what is due for a comeback?

    A couple of things to keep in mind.... If anyone thinks that once the AWB dies that there will be cheap high cap mags will be sadly disappointed. My guess is that all of the manufacturers know what people have been willing to pay for pre-ban hi-caps. SO the days of $16 hi-caps are gone...
