According to the 2006 (First Quarter) INS/FBI Statitical Report on Undocumented Immigrants: -- 62% of all "undocumented immigrants" in the United States are working for cash and not paying taxes, predominantly illegal aliens, working without a green card; -- 95% of warrants for murder in...

I need to ship an 1895 back to Marlin because the dang thing won't chamber cartridges cleanly. Anybody have any clever ideas regarding how to box it up without having to cut-up cardboard and fabricate a shipping container from scratch? Or, said another way, has anyone discovered an...

My .357 won't chamber rounds without binding; right after the bullet portion of the cartridge enters the chamber, the casing starts scraping along on one side. The casing scrapes on the left side of the entrance to the barrel at 9:00, so apparently the cartridge is cocked in the horizontal...

So I go in to the county sheriff's office for my CCW interview. I had submitted my application in October 2004 (yes, 2004 - that's not a misprint) and they had finally gotten to mine a couple of weeks ago to do my background check. Although state law requires that applications be reviewed and...

A friend of mine has a Garand and the rear sight windage adjustment doesn't work. Does anyone have a link showing how to disassemble the rear sight (standard; i.e., not National Match), please? Edit: Never mind...found it http://www.surplusrifle.com/garand/rsdisassembly/index.asp...

I asked my US Congressional Representative to look into the alleged confiscations of firearms taking place in NO, and specifically asked him to confirm whether or not the California Highway Patrol was taking part; here's his "response": Dear Mr. Sawdust: Thanks you for contacting me to...

Well, CMP has just sent to me an email saying that they shipped the two Garands that I have on order. The serial numbers are 2228XXX and 52XXX. Can anyone tell me anything about these rifles based upon their serial numbers, or direct me to where I can find out...well, whatever I can...

I've got a Camillus BK-7; what are the two eyelets at the bottom of the sheath for? I can only assume they are for lashing to the thigh? If so, what is used? Just a piece of leather lacing? Or? Thanks, Sawdust

OK, I'm looking at buying ammo for that Garand that be coming from CMP. Here's the deal: ".30-06 U.S. Military Lake City Ball M2 packed in 8rd Garand clips, excellent condition. Boxer primed, non-corrosive, reloadable. Choice of LC69 or LC72." Now, I know that the LC69 was loaded in...

I am going to order an M1 from CMP. Where should I buy extra clips? Get 'em with Korean ammo from ammoman.com? Or buy them from Jeff Bartlett at gibrass.com? Or? Is there a reference book that I should get to teach me maintenance and operation? Or are there good online sources? I need a...

What's the difference b/t "Full Metal Jacket" (FMJ) and "Total Metal Jacket" (TMJ)? Thanks, Sawdust

'Arms' have come a long way since the Founding Fathers By Rowland Nethaway September 20, 2004 'A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." For some gun owners, the Second Amendment...

I'm cleaning the cylinder of a new S&W 686. Are the bores of the cylinder stepped? Or are they the same diameter all of the way through? I ask because when I put a wet patch on a jag, I cannot push it all of the way through. If the cylinder bores aren't machined with a slight step, then...

So I'm buying a handgun from a private party who resides in another state. Can he ship the gun directly to my FFL, or does he have to use an FFL on his end to do the shipping? I think that he can do it himself... What mode of shipping is required? That is, does it have to be overnight...

This was posted on another forum: Tazer Fun A little teaser: "Dear Friends, the mind is a wonderful thing; curiosity is not a wonderful thing. To much of one and not enough of the other in the wrong hands can be lethal in some cases. My wife is fond of saying that my last...

I'm looking for good 9mm target ammo for my S&W 5906; due to range restrictions I need brass, no HP. Therefore, my aluminum Blazer and my Speer HP's from ammoman have to stay home. Buying bulk is a plus. So...what would you get and from where? Thanks, Sawdust

Let's say I'm carrying openly on my own property and, for whatever reason (let's assume that they do *not* suspect me of commiting a crime), the police show up. Can they disarm me? For example...say I wake up at night and I think that someone is in my house. SOP for me is to gather my family...
