    Browning 1910/71

    That's nice, I would have snapped that up, too. Many Congrats!

    Is USCCA getting a fair shake on YouTube?

    Now, whether or not the antics of one company versus another in videos on YT hardy seems to have little bearing on Firearms Law or Legislation. Whether one policy or another is better is an individual decision, and only tangentially associated with Statutes. So, I'm not seeing where "we" gain...

    Hitchcock 45's hearing protection.

    If it's one of the Ohio Ordnance ones (which are very sexy) you are going to need about three grand to get one, and you will need to not have too much sticker shock from the US$50-75 magazines. BAR, especially the WWII A2 versions runs to over 19#, which is not something easy to shoulder...

    Gun Identification...inherited long guns from family. Please let me know your valued opinions.

    That next to last one looks a lot like an M-1903, if so, the maker's stamp (Springfield or Rock Island or Remington) matters, and the serial number range. If that's a 7 digit Springfield or Rock Island, it's north of US$800 all by its lonesome.

    Felons Cannot Possess Firearms or People Under Investigation for a Felony Cannot Possess Firearms?

    It's probably worth reminding here, that there is a Federal distinction between "possession" and "ownership." 18USC922 tends to deny "tranfers" and any form of "possession" but does not specifically speak to "ownership." Legally, to pick a thing up is to "possess" it, even if no claim nor title...

    Is USCCA getting a fair shake on YouTube?

    I'm reasonably sure that's Attorneys On Retainer. An Arizona based Law Firm, dba https://attorneysforfreedom.com/ (originally Marc J. Victor P.C.). Their 'sales pitch' is rather than providing an "insurance" against costs incurred as a result of a shooting incident, they provide an actual...

    My wife calls it gun porn!

    Our site here is more of a kaffeeklatsch, a meeting of like minds. The German phrase gemütliche sammlung, actually really hits the nail on the head of it. Comparing this to pr0n is disparaging, and disingenuous, too. Probably few of us would be embarrassed to be seen typing away on this site.

    Need a new gun safe

    To expand on what @The Night Rider said, it can be worth visiting the local locksmith shop as they often have used/refused safes (some may have UL ratings) for reasonable prices. This can be a handy way to pick up a handgun only safe, which gets you more room in the long-gun safe for not...

    Current M1911A1 WW2 clones -- authenticity ratings

    TISAS, from potentially faulty memory had an earlier "US Army" version which was series 80, and had an odd hammer on it. RIA also had their 'mock' 1911 using an A1 frame. SAI had what they claimed was a clone, but that was largely limited to having a lanyard loop IIRC (And may have had a...

    Springfield Armory's SA16-A2

    AH, those halcyon days of handguard-pinched palms :)

    Springfield Armory's SA16-A2

    One of the problems about citing one of Henry's videos is that he's an absolute rifle whisperer, part of that rare breed that can pick up a rifle and get its best out of it. After all, he can shoot a Moisin-nagant made in the 20s to 5-6MOA acceptance standards and get hits on gongs out at...

    My wife calls it gun porn!

    Now, I've always thought of the glossy paper periodicals as gun pr0n. AmRifleman being one of the leaders in the firearms pulchritude. Not that the "tacticool" mags were much behind them. All the sexy photos, airbrushing of flaws, promises to respect you in the morning . . . Hey, that's just...

    Hey, Anyone Know of a decent Public Rifle Range in the Austin Area?

    Agree entirely. However, it's about the only way to get from DFW to Austin and back again. I do take 360 to 287 to cut that corner off, and I use 130 to get around Austin. The number of people unclear on the concept of why & how you use a toll road makes me wonder how many are also armed with...

    .38 super question

    Now, it you do drop for the 38 super specific dies, you could, conceivably, load 38acp (finding one to shoot is a different question).

    Garbage like this realllllly annoys

    I'm not sure I'd try that on angle food cake for fear of leaving chips, blade coatings, etc. in the cake . . . :) Heaven help the person who put that on WalMart sheet cake :)

    Springfield Armory's SA16-A2

    I'm not sure having an SAI roll stamp is worth a four-digit price tag. I'll flat out guess, without looking, that a person could find a complete A2 for under US$800, and for even less as pieces-parts. And the money saved could go into useful things like an upgraded trigger, a carry handle optic...

    Hey, Anyone Know of a decent Public Rifle Range in the Austin Area?

    Actually, I'd be happy enough with 100 yards in a pinch. And closer to the I-35 corridor is better, since one of my considerations is in not hitting FDW much after 1500 for traffic reasons (much like how, I try to leave town not later than 1100 for similar reasons). I can't put in quite as...

    Hey, Anyone Know of a decent Public Rifle Range in the Austin Area?

    Similar to what I need while going through a 4 & 5 story 300 unit apartment complexes under construction--with the advantage of, at the range I need not wear a hard hat & safety vest :) That place in Leander may get the first nod as I have to drive through that area coming and going to Austin.

    How does improper cleaning ruin a barrel?

    Further, not letting a bunch of bored troopies in Boot Camp use steel rods down the barrel, 2x or 3x per day, to keep them busy will keep bores in better condition, too.

    Garbage like this realllllly annoys

    Ok, I'm not sure I want to know what the team was on when they said, "Hey, what if we made a KBAR wakizashi?" And the other duud goes, :Hey, I know where we can get Lahore steel cheap!" Third dood is like "Can we sell these under fif'y bux? We'll make Bank!!" Sigh, will be all over the table...
