    Marlin Model 25 ejection issues

    Bought a nice Marlin model 25 bolt action .22 rifle today at a pawn shop. This is a gift for my daughter's 12th birthday this weekend. Serial puts date of mfr at 1983. 7 round mag, seems to not want to eject if there are less than 3 rounds in the mag. Get down to 2 rounds in the mag and no...

    I've done my part in converting this (ex) anti

    I'm in shock. In a particular motorcycle forum that I frequent, this person and I (including some others on my side) have had CRAZY arguments regarding firearms. I was AWE-STRUCK to see this posted today. :D:D:D:what::D:D:D

    GA reciprocates w/ AR, AZ

    This is kind of old news (5 weeks anyways) but I searched and could find no mention of it here... http://law.ga.gov/00/press_print/0,2669,87670814_103214659_103850559,00.html

    Somebody is jerking my chain! (NICS ACT)

    (Emphasis is mine) Admittedly, I am not fully up on what all this bill entailed, or whether it was good or bad or both. I just find this humorous. Email from the NRA: Email From the Brady Bunch: So, which group is jerking my chain?:D

    Pick a gun, any gun!

    OK, here is the idea. Pick a firearm that you are knowledgeable of and give us the goods. History, generational changes, available options, production dates, etc. Pictures are good. Why? I have found that just about every seemingly boring firearm I have handled has an interesting...

    The wife's Christmas present

    Picked up this Kahr CW-9 used for the wife for Christmas. She'll finally have one to call her own. It's a nice, compact, small framed pistol... Now she'll have no excuse to not get her CHL.:D Question- I'm new to 9's. They gave me a box of shells marked 9MM Luger, but the gun is...

    Gerber Paraframe 1

    After foaming at the mouth last night on this sub-fora, and doing some research about folders I snuck off to wally world this morning intent on picking up a Kershaw; mainly because of wanting to spend $25 or less. What I liked better was the Gerber Paraframe for $18.50. The action felt much...

    Range optics - spotting scope or binoc's?

    OK, I am getting ready to need some range optics. My intial (uneducated) thought was why not just buy a nice set of binoculars as they would lend themselves to more than just range work as opposed to a spotting scope which would be a little unwieldy anywhere but clamped to a bench...thoughts...

    I LOVE this pistol...Range report

    Set up on the sandbags and squeezed off about 50 rounds @ 25 yards, no optics to check and 15 minutes between range cold/hot so I just kept shooting. Went ahead and moved out to 50 yards and taped over the 25 yard results. This is what I got. Awesome.

    The Citizen Soldier - Nat. Guard promo video

    Came across this video on another forum (not gun related) http://www.1800goguard.com/movie/ It is a sponsored music video from the National Guard. The video shows some 'footage' of revolutionary war 'citizen soldiers' fighting. These were not national guardsmen, but true citizen...

    My first high power/'long' range scope sighting-in trip/

    I finally made it to the range today. This is the first time I have ever shot 'long' distance and/or a 'high' powered rifle (bigger than .223) I was raised by a father who had nothing but .22's with iron sights, and due to landscape have usually been limited to handgun shooting. I recently...

    Winchester Model 70 30-06

    Help w/ GA carry laws and the vehicle

    Done a lot of reading and searching, but I want some firsthand input from GA residents who are more familiar with GA's laws. I am making a road trip to GA soon. I have an AR CHL. GA is the only state I will pass through that does not recognise my permit. From what I understand, a...

    Opinions on keeping Tec-22

    Some years back I bought a pre-ban Tec-22 scorpion because of the interchangability of mags w/ the 10/22 I now realize this is a fairly impractical pistol. I don't really have any interest in keeping it, in fact I was thinking of trading it in on something I do want. The opinion I am...

    inheritance of guns across state lines

    Done some searching here and ATF site but didn't come up with definitive answers, so I refer back to you all. I was told today by my grandfather that he has some guns he wants to pass on to me. I live in AR, he lives in GA. What laws govern this transfer?
