I purchased a Gerber Mark II (black) from Amazon and it arrived today, but its completely dull, as in you can't even cut your finger with it. The edge has been machined, to the extent it -looks- sharp, but it has no edge. Anyone know if this is normal? Maybe there's some rationale for...

Last year I completely took apart each of my guns, down to every little roll pin and spring and so on. There's no good reason, but there's no good reason to know how to replace a rod bearing in a 427, but I consider that fun too :-) In so doing I really wished I'd had a good book or manual...

I know this sounds brutally naive, and I searched for a bit (perhaps wth the wrong keywords) for an obvious answer, but still don't know: Legally, why isn't a semi-automatic pistol (let's say M9) considered a short barelled rifle? Well, because its not a rifle. But what makes a rifle a...

Every so often I see (probably the same one) an XM110 for sale on GB, offered at $25,000. If you remove the "systems" portion such as optics and night vision and so on, what's a comparable rifle? For example, what's the difference between an M110 and an LMT308 with a long barrel? They look...

I was looking at an LMT308, which was beautiful, and then asked myself "What's the difference between an AR-10 and an AR-15 that's chambered in .308?" I guess that's another way of asking other than caliber what's the difference, but to the uninitiated they look very similar. What are the...

So far as I can tell, in WA State RCW 9.41.190 makes it illegal to "own, buy, sell, load, furnish, ..." machine guns. And yet at least one local range (and I assume others) will let you rent a select-fire AR for use on their range. Of the excemptions to the law about the only one I can see...

I was watching the latest episode of that demi-reality show AG, wherein they built a crude 10-barrel volley gun. I'm wondering why its legal to do so, since I thought the NFA machine gun laws prohibited anything that dicharged more than one cartridge or barrel with a single trigger pull...

There's another thread on -protecting- the right to open carry in WA, so rather than hijack it with my naive question, I'll start another thread: The law here requires that you have a CPL if you carry a concealed pistol, and I've had a CPL for almost the entire time I've lived in WA (about 15...

I've had a Colt LE6940 for a number of years and its been my only long gun; I'd like to branch out a little to a little more "substantial" cartridge (not an indictment of the 5.56) and I think I've settled on the 7.62x51mm. I've never hunted, though I'd like my next purchase to be suitable...

It is my understanding that WA is one of the few states where even if I could find an affordable one, I could not legally own a fully automatic (ie: M16A1) rifle. I know someone is working on a change of the silencer restrictions, but I've seen no activity on the machine gun restrictions...

Are there any "gotchas" (technical, not legal) in terms of compatibility of old M16 lowers and current M4 uppers? Or should I expect a pre-86 M16A1 lower to just fit into place with a Colt LE6940 M4 upper? What about the collapsible stock from the M4? Could it also be fitted to the older...
