    51 Minutes

    Just to give everyone an idea of the state of the current ammunition famine . . . At 6:13pm today, I checked my email, and found an "In Stock" notification from MidwayUSA, regarding Armscor 125gr FMJ 357 magnum ammunition. I immediately went to their website, and found that they had already...

    Nevada SB221 - A Gun Control Bill With Some Bad, and Some Good

    I just got notice of some gun control legislation for the state of Nevada, SB 221. IMO, a significant chunk of it is quite good. It strengthens the state government's ability to keep the mentally ill from possessing firearms. On the bad side, it introduces Universal Background checks. SB...

    10/22s can fix the economy!

    I had a brainstorm while reading another Ruger 10/22 thread. If every man and woman in the US who can legally own a firearm were given a Ruger 10/22, that irresistible urge to buy stuff to "make it perfect" would fuel a spending wave that could pull our country out of recession. It could be...

    Ammo Can Usage

    I am in the process of reorganizing all of my ammo into .30 cal ammo cans. The bulk stuff just gets unboxed and dumped into the cans. The premium ammo (defense or hunting ammo) goes into the cans still in the original packaging, for added protection. That leaves the rest, mostly...

    A suggestion for US ammunition and firearms manufacturers

    While perusing what limited ammunition was available at my local ammo retailer, I noticed what primarily remained was boutique "specialty" ammo. Speer Gold Dot Short Barrel, Hornady Personal Defense, Hornady Zombie Max, etc. My mind drifted to the horrible idea of certain calibers being...

    88 Magnum!

    Ever since I saw the movie Johnny Dangerously, I've wanted an 88 Magnum. If you don't know what I'm talking about, you really need to see this film. http://www.imfdb.org/wiki/Johnny_Dangerously As the IMFDB states, the movie gun was a Colt New Service revolver in 45 Colt. Well, I didn't...

    922r Compliance Double Check

    I have just received a VEPR 308 with the 27" barrel. It comes with a 5 round and a 10 round. I am double checking that it would be perfectly legal to use 5 and 10 round US made magazines, as this does not change the sporting configuration. I've done a lot of internet searches, and believe...

    Dressing around the gun

    One of the mantras you frequently come across when discussing CCW is that you dress around the gun, not choose a gun that fits you mode of dress. What I would like to discuss are those clothes, including specific brands, you use to conceal your carry weapon? I like to choose clothes that...

    Suggest a Gunsmith Please

    I have a S&W 28-2 Highway Patrolman. I bought it used, knowing it has a (slightly) damaged barrel. I sent it to S&W in the hopes they could fit a replacement barrel, but they informed me that they can not, and have no alternative barrel choices for me. So I am posting here for gunsmith...

    Mounted Supressor idea

    I was fiddling around with my Mosin M44, and was intrigued with the bayonet fixture. Specifically using the design to mount a supressor. From an operator's point of view (military or otherwise) would this sort of set-up work, and be useful? Obviously not on an M44. Would being able to...
