I'm not an advocate of vengeance, but in a place where there isn't too much law and order one can perhaps understand if not forgive the choice to seek justice via alternative means. In this case, a young lady apparently saw her parents killed, then took up arms against the attackers. It...

Hi all- Apologies if this was already posted - it's from something called Narratively that happened to come up on a random load when I opened Firefox this morning. The Deadliest Marksman’s Cold, Brave Stand The article details the exploits of Simo Häyhä in action against the Soviets during...

Hi all- Sorry in advance for length and about posting a link to an article with a paywall (if you've already used up the limit this month). If you've not been to the site you should be good to see it at least once...

Hi all- I've already posted this at Rimfire Central, but thought somebody here may know as well. I recently came across a couple of mags that were included with an older Buckmark (1986 model if I read the SN right). They fit and feed, but don't look much like any other Buckmark mags I've...

Hi all- I did multiple searches but didn't find anything on this yet - what is kind of surprising to me is where I found it - CNN. Good Samaritan with a gun saves wounded cop. Short version, a criminal had shot a police officer but then ran out of ammo. He attacked and beat the officer, who...

Hi all- I thought this may be of interest, from Fox News... http://www.foxnews.com/world/2017/03/03/czechs-debate-gun-rights-amendment-to-ensure-eu-cant-tighten-rules.html Basically the main political party in the Czech Republic has put forth an amendment to the Czech constitution enshrining...

Hi all- I'm seeking a CZ in 22LR. One option is to track down a 452 before they go away and the other is to get a 455 whenever as they're more available. The 452 is a well-known quantity as to quality and accuracy. I had heard that the 455 had a few teething challenges, but more recent...

Hi all- From time to time I visit a local shop (pawn or used rifle seller) to see if there's anything there needing a little TLC and perhaps a rescue. So far, I have recovered and returned to the living a Western Field 59a (aka Savage 6a or Stevens 87a) that had extraction issues (replaced a...

It's still just a thought IMHO, but I saw this article today which suggests that somebody else is apparently thinking this way as well: The End of Gun Control: We’re In Spitting Distance of a Constitutional Amendment Have a great day all. Note added on 16NOV. Apologies if I botched up...

Hi all- I looked around and did a keyword search but didn't find this yet. My apologies if I missed an earlier post from somebody else. How Germany approaches guns This is an article on CNN's website, describing how two photographers documented firearm owners and ownership in Germany...

Hi all- I was reading an article this AM and somebody commented on Vladmir Putin and concealed carry laws in Russia. Intrigued, I Googled the phrase and found this article on Townhall.com (admittedly not a mainstream outlet, but not InfoWars, either). It was discussing how Russia is...

Apologies if somebody already posted something on this and I missed it... I started reading this article by Sanjay Gupta about preventing mass shootings with trepidation, and it is true that one could be put off by some of the "standard" language and descriptive terms the author uses...

Hi all- I'm generally leery of anything that can be attached to a network that absolutely doesn't need it for critical functionality (Chrysler, anybody?). Hence, I read the following with interest. It seems that a couple of security researchers have identified security vulnerabilities...

Hi all- I couldn't find this anyplace else on the site, so here she be (apologies if it's already up and I missed it): S. E. Cupp - Guns for women on campus make sense The author basically asserts that, if one wanted to reduce violence against women on campus, this would be one...

Hi all- I checked twice - it was indeed on CNN. 10-year-old shooter: 'I want to be an inspiration' I checked around the board and didn't see it anywhere else - apologies if it's already been posted and I missed it. Dave

Hi all- A few weeks ago my wife shot an AR (somebody in another bay offered). She kind of likes the platform, and while it never did much for me previously that she likes it is as good a reason as any to get one out and make it our own. That prices are a lot less odd than about a year or so...

Hi all- Long story and I'm sure enough of the answer that I'm already looking for another cleaning rod. I bought what was advertised at aLGS as a good one-piece cleaning rod with a slick coating on it and a slotted patch holder. It also had a spinning handle (so the patches can follow the...

Hi all- As a diversion from the various policy/ammo shortage/mag size discussions currently ongoing, feel free to take a break from less pleasant topics by offering your opinions on the following. I'm seeking a 1911. I shot one a year or so ago, but the sights (mil-spec) were TINY (to me)...

Hi all- Sorry if I'm using bandwidth in the wrong place, but I searched all over the Armslist site, and can't find a means to contact technical support. I figure that somebody there might read posts here and perhaps I can make contact, or alternatively, one of the kind helpful souls here can...

Hi all- I've had a Neos for a while now; despite reading in over 90% of the posts/reviews I could find that it will "eat anything", when I first got it I found it didn't like Federal AE or Federal Bulk. It didn't particularly like CCI Blazer either; rare was the mag that I got through...
