Just saw the movie. No, it didn't bear any resemblance at all to the books. The fun part was watching the big battle in which Roland uses .45 moon clips, even reloading in the air! Fun stuff. Didn't even need to modify his guns for them, wow! I didn't see anything about Ranch Products in the...

Action Impact just opened a brand new shop with a brand new range at 8 mile rd. and Beech-Daly in Southfield. I did some field testing on their range today and it passes all the tests: Well lit, well ventilated, and a great staff that are not just in the shop, but out on the range, too. I like...

Dunham's is having a Sunday/Monday special on Wolf 5.56 and 7.62x39 HP or FMJ: 3 boxes fer $10.00-no limit. Josh

A carjacker was shot and killed around 11:00pm thursday night. A man was approached by four "teens" (18 or younger around here) as he got into his car. One(the "teen" who was 18) brandished a handgun and was shot several times by the intended victim, a CPL holder. This occured a parking lot...

I've been bass shopping lately and had a great time reading Ed Roman's Scholarly works on the subjects of wood, guitars, and guitar building. The man's a true American original. Here's a link to one of his pages(tonewoods): http://www.edromanguitars.com/wood/main.htm Scroll down a bit and take...

First the good news: A good friend of mine has learned to safely handle, load, and shoot a pistol. This evening was the first "live ammo" test. The man's a determined genius with a fantastic attitude and I can't tell you how proud I am of him. He lost both hands thirty-some years ago in a...

I was perusing today's Midway flyer and ran across this wacky thing. Does it actually work and clear the barrel without ripping the mag latch out? Strong argument for a drum, huh? other than that, who is "National Magazine"? Good products or not...

I was at the range today gathering data with a friend of mine when the unthinkable happened.....one of the screens got hit(imagine that)! Anyhoo I was tooling around the net for another and noticed that Oehler has "reluctantly suspended production" of reloader equipment and sold out all their...

I had an interesting malfunction at the pin matches this evening. I was running my .22lr (Mark 2 Gov.). I heard what sounded like the gun "doubled" and saw it was jammed and smoking quite a bit. There was an empty case lodged above a half-chambered round, against the roof of the receiver...

I was looking at the september issue of the Rifleman today and I caught an expensive spelling error (that was easily avoided). There's an ad for the "America Remembers" Elvis tribute 1911 pistol. Just above the thumb safety, on the slide, the goofs mispelled Elvis' middle name "Aaron" instead of...

A friend just sent me this link. Talk about siding on your barn! http://huntshoot.coastangler.com/hunting/showthread.php?t=8354&highlig Josh

I was just up at my local arms emporium and ran accross what might be a good deal(but what do I know). I found a Century arms FAL . It is marked "metric" in the mag well and just about all the receiver's finish is down to the bright white. The barrel appears to be Parkerized and the furniture is...

Anyone know if/when they will be back up? The Network Solutions header up there now says the domain has expired. I liked them for AK info. Hard to believe one of the top sites is gone this way. Josh

Went to our locally recurrent gunshow today for a look-see at AK stock and prices. I was interested in an SSR-85C-2 from Armory. There was only one to be found and it was a nice side-folder. Price was too rich for me and as I put it back down, the man behind the table asked what I thought of it...

Got back from Las Vegas this A.M.(redeye). All I can say is that I won't miss another SHOT show if I can help it. Just overwhelming. Tons of good people, guns, things to see, a little excitement, and I got to meet some of our people from THR in person (though I got there a bit late....but I got...

Morning all, I'm in the midst of helping out a very good friend of our family. I am trying to I.D. and get a guess at an approximate value of what I THINK is a Whitney Mississippi musket.:confused: I've spent a couple days looking at, photographing, and talking about this old relic. My friend...

Anyone own/shoot a C-96? I've been looking at them (some would say ogling them) and sort of studying them as well. One thing I would really like to know is: Are they good shooters? Accurate? reliable? Fun to shoot? I have a book that shows how to disassemble many auto-loaders and there is a...

Anybody tried one of these stocks on their SKS? I'm thinking about one for mine. http://www.tapco.com/product_information.asp?number=STK660166&back=yes Josh

Anyone use these? I'm curious if they are better for really stubborn jacket fouling? Hoppe's calls them "The gunsmith's brush". What does that mean? Their site doesn't elaborate. The only reservation I have is that they appear to be made of stainless. Might be hard on the barrel(or are the...

I have a G-20 barrel/slide assy that I need to test locally. Will it fit and function on a 21 lower? Josh
