A few weeks ago, my nephew's son was turning 13. I wanted to get him his own rifle, and was able to (with little effort) get Mrs Janitor to allow me to get him a .22lr. They were having a surprise party for him at a ranch/whatever it is where some folks get together and do old west...

SIDBAR: Before I ruffle anyone's feathers - I don't think that all pickup truck drivers are idiots. Most my friends drive them, I even have one. But it does seem to me (here in MN at least) that an overwhelming percentage of idiot drivers are in pickups. I think that maybe some folks believe...

This is special. http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/04/27/politics/main1550032.shtml That last line sort of sums it up nicely:

Ok. I've looked and not really found the answers yet. Of course - may need to work on the search skills too. First question is mostly curiosity. Does anyeone know what the differences (other than cosmetic) are between the '50th Anniversery New Model Blackhawk' and a 'New Model Blackhawk'...

Well - going through the safe I found a dark shadowy bit of metal hung up on one of the shelf supports in the back. (explanation would be longer and more boring than it would be informative). Anyway - I no longer have a RAMI, but find that I still have a 10 round magazine. One that I thought I...

Wow. I mean ... wow. Great form. http://www.fullauto.org/media/marinam169web.wmv (video is work safe in most environments) /j

I have an opportunity to pick up an older 627. It's a 6 shot w/ an unfluted cylinder and a 6" barrel. Not yet sure of the condition, but I'm going to guess it's at the least "very good". I can't find anything anywhere on these revolvers. The only 627 I can find any information on at all has...

I know. This is simply a lowlife using their 1st ammendment rights. Yet again. But I am still PISSED-OFF! :fire: http://www.startribune.com/462/story/266514.html It's just too bad that there's no practical way for somebody to convince a jury that they felt that their life was in danger when...

Must not have cars or swimming pools in their neighborhoods.

Given that my (Ultra Compact) 1911 still needs some major tuning, I needed a way to deal with all the extra ammo the 1911 won't eject or feed properly. The solution - :D

"Building" is really the wrong term, but I didn't purchase it in one piece. :) A few weeks ago I picked up a DPMS Dissipator upper from a user on AR15.com - The barrel had been turned down to help balance the piece. It already had a Bushnell Holosight on it, but no BUIS. At the last MN...

Pretty much says it in the subject line. It is hard to open the cylinder on my 19-5. I have to apply pressure towards the rear of the revolver as well as simply to the side to get it to swing out. With empty casings in it, it's a bit harder to open. With something thick like snap caps, darn...

Ok wanting to be a good citizen and do my good deed on national ammo day, I went up to Gander to unload some 'Ganderbux'. Picked up 200 rds .45, 150 rds .38 spl, & 100 rds .357. All of it range ammo. There - civic duty done for the morning. I already had an ammo bag in the truck with about...

Last weekend, I picked up a 1911 after being w/o one for several years (http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=165638). Today, I got to the range with it. It's a Springfield MilSpec Ultra Compact. The size of the piece is great. The only things I have smaller are a Kahr P9 & KelTec...

Quite some time ago, I had a Colt 1911 that had been modified for Bullseye by Bob Chow. Very, very nice and accurate gun. But there came a time when I gave it to a good friend who I felt should have it. That was years ago, and I've been without a 1911 ever since. Until yesterday. Yesterday, I...

Hi guys. Ok. I confess. My entire safe is filled with pistols. Not a single revolver on any shelf. Oh - I had a revolver in there for a while. A very good friend had loaned me his PC 640 (http://www.olegvolk.net/gallery/RS-Armory/j_frame_13) to 'play' with for a while. And while I never...

Ok. This is yet more "fallout" from my mailing to the PRK senators on AB 352 (the microstamping bill). I've included his email back to me, as well as his speech. People in the PRK - this man deserves your support. I was going to start bolding things I liked in his speech. That turned out...

When AB 350 was just about to come up in the PRK again, I wrote to several of their senators to express my feelings on the subject. Yea, yea - I don't live on the left coast. But a fight's a fight - right? That said - I may have been a tot too sneaky. I wrote from my work address, and I work for...

A couple/few days ago, I had writen an email to Senator Campbell (district 35 in the PRK) to express my feelings on AB352. I'm fairly sure he got the impression that I'm against it. His response: In his defense, at least it seems he understands how this will affect the criminals it's meant...
