More likely, you'd have escalated the situation. There's no hero move in this situation. You guys are d*mn lucky that no one's dead or critically injured. You need to report this idiot ASAP - just describe the facts, don't embellish, don't get into your opinion of MORON, just tell someone at...

IIRC there's a federal law that requires automatic garage door systems to have child safety features that prevent the door from closing if obstructed. Some sense resistance on the door, but most seem to use an 'electronic eye'. I think that this regulation was introduced in the 90's. Mine has...

Not to be pedantic, but this isn't actually a study, it's an article that reviews and interprets several studies dealing w/ gun ownership and violence, along with international crime data. It's well written, and pursuasive, but it's not a formal study - the authors refer to it as an article...

I'm pretty sure that the CMP AR program has been discontinued - http://www.odcmp.com/Programs/AR15.htm

What pisses me off is when newby's decide that they're going to bring kids a/o newby friends to the range on their 2nd or 3rd visit. Once a group took the range hot on me while I was returning from the 100yd targets. Another time someone's kid, who was probably 4, ran across multiple lanes...

Anyone know of a surplus supplier that has the Sistema Colts in stock - can't find any way of contact JLD, so I'm assuming they are out.

Ballistol can smell like fish, especially if the piece has been saturated.

zoom6zoom do you know whether that supplier does an evaluation of these pistols? I remember reading a few reviews on the yellowforum suggesting that some of these were really beat-up - not just the cosmetics, the seals and chambers were badly damaged. But then I think that CA was selling...

Another avenue to investigate is used match air pistols. You can find these through targettalk.org, yellowforum classifieds, and even gunbroker. Precharged pneumatic (PCP) pistols are favored nowadays, and the earlier generations of C02 and SSP pistols can often be found for very reasonable prices.

The platoon's Afghan interpreter, who was with Cpl. Tillman, was killed as well and two other Rangers were wounded by friendly fire at a seperate location in the same incident. One of these men was the platoon leader. Four Rangers have admitted to firing on Tillman's position for a sustained...

Does anyone know of a cheaper alternative to the $160 lefty grips that Pyramid Air has for the Baikal? I'd love to have one, but spending half as much on the grips as the whole gun would hurt a bit... That's why I've never considered the 46M. IIRC there are a few options, but these are nearly...

The Drulov DU-10 is an interesting pistol. It's a 5 shot autoloading CO2 pistol w/ adjustable trigger, sights, and velocity. They're not as accurate as the top-end air pistols, but they don't cost $1300 either. Pilkington Competition is a good source for new and used air pistols...

I wish someone still made jacketed wadcutters in .38 special like CCI used to. I love the wadcutters but I really don't like shooting exposed lead. NSK loads a 148gr fully jacketed wadcutter in 38spl ( see DEWC TMJ under Bullseye Ammo) @ http://www.nsksales.com/ Neil discounts for brass...

Yes it's accurate. I'd tested 500 rounds and ended up purchasing a lot more. It's a pretty mild load, even in comparison to other 38spl wadcutter I've shot (e.g. Blackhills). It's not too smokey or dirty either. The M41 ball ammo is fine too, quality wise - this is a bit smokey. I think...

The squared front strap is like anything else: it is a matter of preference. I like it because I can grip the gun more consistently, knowing where the squared edge falls. I'd had them flatten the groove faces of my finger-groove stocks for this reason. But if you prefer a rounded front strap...
