    (AK) hunting guide's rifle jams as bear munches on his leg

    That's a euphemism if I ever saw one. :)

    Do you need a REASON to buy a big bore rifle?

    I bought a Marlin 1895 .45-70 because I wanted a repeating rifle in that historic caliber. And just in case one of L. Ron Hubbard's Psychlos shows up around here.;)

    Movie Recommendation: The Alamo

    Saw it today; this one will definitely join the DVD collection. The battle of San Jacinto is also featured, though without the depth given the main story. Lots of flintlock action, and Billy Bob Thornton as David Crockett was outstanding. Great job of showing the man behind the myth. This...

    Pro-gun newspaper article on the front page.

    Tune is a media hound. Seems like whenever there's a story on this subject around here, TV or print, ol' Buford gets free publicity.:scrutiny:

    Ruger 10/22 question

    I've got a 10/22 just like that. Based on a conversation with a Ruger collector, I think this was a limited production variant made only for Wal-Mart. I've no idea of the value or collectibility, though.

    "Mind the recoil"... or "Adventures in eye-relief"

    I was "kissed" by the scope on a friend's .338 Win Mag.:eek:

    Streets of Fire, lever action, great B-movies

    The M1 and Marines on Guadalcanal

    Were Marines on Guadalcanal armed with Garands, or were they still using M1903s?

    What was your first handgun?

    It was either an AMT Longslide .45ACP, or a Colt King Cobra .357. I can't remember which one I bought first. I no longer have them. I was 29 or 30 at the time. The Longslide was a good, reliable pistol. It must have slipped out of the factory by mistake, because the other AMTs that I've owned...

    Who designed these GPMGs?

    I believe the PK was designed by Kalashnikov.

    ID This Movie, Please

    CB900F, I've read books about Leyte Gulf, but this is the first one I've seen that covers the Samar action in detail. The author does a good job of describing the battles in the Sibuyan Sea and Surigao Strait as a prelude to Samar. Remarkable fact: One battleship of Kurita's Center Force...

    ID This Movie, Please

    I'm reading The Last Stand Of The Tin Can Sailors, a book about the incredible battle off Samar in October '44 in which a Japanese force of 4 battleships, 8 cruisers and 11 destroyers was repulsed by an American task unit of 6 escort carriers, 3 destroyers and 4 destroyer escorts. It reminded...

    Anyone tried Hornady XTP ammo for handguns?

    I sometimes carry the .44 Special 180gr XTP in my Rossi 720. One negative item: 10mm XTP factory loads in my Glocks leave bulged cases after firing. I don't use them anymore.

    Favorite 5.56 x 45 launcher?

    HK33. I shot one at Knob Creek a couple of years ago and fell in love with it. Favorite that I own is my Colt Sporter 16" HBAR.
