We went to the WW2 Museum in New Orleans a couple of years ago. I spent the better part of an hour talking with a docent who had been a Higgens boat skipper. He had his scrapbook, too. I can come back and see the exhibits, but he was the main show that day. It was a wonderful experience...

Several years ago some friends went hunting in N Montana. They decided to take a side trip into Canada and left their guns in a locker at either a gun store or a hunting equipment store. Apparently, this sort of thing is common up there.

I'll let you know as soon as I receive my PPK/S back from S&W. It's been there two months now. I had all kinds of trouble with it. The decocking lever was swinging loosely. The extractor fell off. It was shooting two rounds with one trigger pull. If it works pretty well when I get it...

Maybe I should have said presence of the lug is a good rule of thumb. Rule of thumb being generally but not always. I suspect the 30 rd mag went with the M2s. Seems to me the carbine is an awfully short weapon for bayonet fighting. It's about four inches shorter than the Garand, but seems...

I believe given the carbine has a bayonet lug, it is a M2 carbine. While those were produced late in the war, they did not see service during the war due to supply problems. The 30 round magazine didn't see war service, either. They did see plenty of service in the Korean conflict and the...

Dumb newbie qq: What's a sticky? I looked at the url and don't see anything unusual. I do like sticky buns but this isn't a baking forum.

The flaming bomb was the symbol of the Ordnance Corp. Their brass had it as the Infantry had crossed rifles, the Artillery crossed cannons, and Armor a tank. By brass I mean the branch ID brass worn on uniforms.

There used to be some competitive shooting at a range between Derby and Derby Line, Vt, but it's been a while. A lot of the people were in the Border Patrol. You could check with them.

I have had an M&P 357sig for most of a year and, despite being a wheel gun person, love the pistol. Zero problems, completely unlike my PPK/S. When I pull the trigger, it goes bang, and it's accurate enough for me. My only problem is I go thru a lot of ammo when I shoot it I understand...

We charge $50 extra for those who haven't resided here continuously for less than fifteen years. That's because the background check takes more effort and is a one time charge. You might join BayouShooter.org, a forum for those of us in the Lower Wetlands, and ask the same question. There are...

In Louisiana at least, an armed security officer is licensed/permitted/whatever by a security commission to carry to protect themselves, much as a CCP is for self protection. I don't know what the training requirements are, but it must not be much as a really ding bat acquaintance was...

It appears to me he was released because his conviction was overturned. How would the castle doctrine apply to a shooting on a trail?

I have had a CCP since the late '90s and have tried to keep up with what is going on. First, I would suggest finding a CC carry organization for your state as Sgt. R suggested. We have BayouShooter.org here in Lower Louisiana and I get a lot of good CC material from it as a number of...

Would someone please explain to this dummy the difference between an Apex kit and a Burwell trigger job? I assume, for starters, the overnight air delivery charges add a lot, but what is done with a Burwell job vs. the Apex? I have a M&P357 and the trigger pull seems a mile long.

I have the CTs on my M&P.357Sig and I assume the ones on the 9c function similarly. The CT approximates the middle grip that comes with the pistol. You won't be able to use the large or the small grips with the laser. I have them on the M&P and a S&W model 60 snubbie. One thing I like is I...

I was a chemist in an analytical lab and the scales and balances were critical to good lab work. We had a maintenance agreement where they provided service when one malfunctioned and also did preventative maintenance every six months which included an accuracy check. Having good check weights...

Look at the size of the bore and cylinder in the first pic. That is more in the .41-.44cal range. The hallmarks should tell something.

Makes good sense to me, Jorg. Thanks for the info.

I just made an order with Midway, and, when I was reading the fine print, I came across this: "You must be at least 21 years of age to purchase certain products such as airguns, ammunition, black powder products, knives or reloading components. Under Federal law 18 U.S.C. 922(D)(1)-(9)...

Walther PPK/S New, it had trouble with light strikes. Using the slingshot technique, I got around this problem and fired maybe 100 rounds with the occasional double feed. Then the range session from hell. It wouldn't feed. The decocking lever floated in the wind. It would occasionally fire...
