...And it arrived in the best possible way. Now: I have most recently acquired what is the first gun to add to my collection in literally YEARS. Been way too broke, for far too long. Gotta new job I like finally, crawling outta debt. The future's looking livable again. I was actually...

[Cue random future time] *NOW* Whoa. I made it. For the moment. Hokay, pardon my whining, please, one and all. My frustrations are not YOUR problem, and in retrospect I sound a little over-the-top, even to ME. It was a bad day. Sorry folks. :o Anyheck, seeing the somwhat muted...

Yes, I have been missing of late. My life stinks. Broke. Lost my Net access. Etc. assorted misery. Not selling stuff though. YET. Anywho, been a gazillion years since we talked about this, and I noticed we've passed 17 THOUSAND members in the meantime. Whoa! :cool: TFL's old...

Hey, I got one o' those! Got me started in the whole "Hand Rifle" thing. It might actually qualify as my favorite handgun. Originaly concieved to also be available in 9mm Winchester Magnum, the .30 Carbine version is all I've ever seen, although at least a few 9-mags were built back in the...

The Aberdeen Museum's open. Visiting their site makes me want to live there. Too many righteous heavy-duty tracked vehicles to be believed, plus a bunch of bonusids of various sorts. They've got a huge selection representing most every different vehicle used in the War. Aberdeen'd get...

I like mine, despite it's odd look. Heck, I like it BECAUSE it looks odd. Nice shooter, efficient muzzle brake, accurate, reliable, solid. Mine's run all day on a box of grungy milsurp MG ammo and came back fer more. Nice peep sight, easy manual of arms, very well-balanced, handy little...

My vote for the origin of the term "Battle Rifle... Gives heavy credit to General Patton, and his assessment of the M-1 Garand: "The greatest battle implement ever devised." Implement/rifle-it's all in the context. Substitute the word in the quote, and it fairly sings. Jus' my humble...

I think I started something! Who'da thought there'd be such a market. But of course, "at cost" is a big plus! :D Sorry I'm late, been gettin' greasy up to my eyeballs swapping truck engines. Slackin, me. Oops. :o Address PM'd, money on the way. Hurray for The High Road, and the...

Hang on qa minute... Well, apparently it isn't QUITE gone. Somone, presumably Alex DuPlessis, is producing the pistol, or rather it's successor, as the ADP Mk. II, now available in .380 auto, 9mm paqra., .40 S&W, and .45 ACP. Naturally, that's no guarantee that anyone's importing the darn...

Whoa, there! Knuckle_Dragger, calm down. Please. 1. I'll go out to the blog you linked, and read. I'm always open to being educated. 2. The [speculative rant] was meant to be a qualifier that the following remark was not set in stone, or presented as a wide ranging sentiment, or even...

Doc Jones' thread about calling the Governator and thanking him for vetoing the stinker gun laws lately inspired me to inform the Korny Kaliforny gun-owners stuck here with me about a law that Arnie signed, that's actually beneficial. Heard about on KPFA, of all places. Overheard it actually...

Hey, if there's handfuls of 'em in the offing, I too would willingly compensate packaging/shipping costs to have one. I need one to go with my 20mm aircraft cannon round. Heck, with a few, I'd make an Ordinance Lamp to go with some of the others I've got. That presentation placque is too...

Just groping around in the dusty corners on E-bay, seeing what I can find by flipping over rocks. I found this! :) : Listing at all of 5 bucks at time of this post, this is kinda neat. The guy selling it apparently has a bud in Iraq who's an A-10 mechanic, who prised a few of these...

You mean THAT e-mail address? You weren't skimming his stuff to read my pungent and witty commentary, were you? Surely such a respected academic personage merits more respect from a reader than THAT. :neener: Ok, Ok, enough tooting the horn. Making my head swell, I am. His addy...

Whine, whine, whine! What kind of cheese do you want? They tooK it, they TOOK it! Waaahhh! Make 'em give it baaack!! [Smack!] :eek: From deep behind the Tie-Dyed Bead Curtain, completely surrounded by Socialeftist Institutionalism and Re-Education Camps, H_R_G sends out a dispatch from the...

M-1 carbines are a lot of fun, but they usually aren't particularly cheap. I would agree that am SKS=inexpensive fun. But an SKS+Fibreforce Dragunov stock=even MORE fun. The Dragunov-styled stock looks cool in that EBR-kinda way, flexes some to absorb some of that sharp-ish wooden-stock...

Not yet... All through this thread we've been talking in terms of "The PRK's dun gone an' banned da Fiddy!..." Uh, nope. I beg to differ. All the new law does is require that .50's be registered as Assault Weapons under provisions of the existing AW law. That law DOES NOT BAN possesion...

A correction: You ARE allowed to possess AW's legally here. You have to register 'em before x date in order to keep 'em. You're not allowed to BUY/TRANSFER them here. You can't own one that isn't registered. That's why you have to keep proof-of-reg. on hand to present on-demand if neccessary...

Stealthmode, if they're not losing sleep ALREADY, then why are they passing laws banning guns that no-one's ever used in a crime anywhere? The statement is a reflection of what the legiscritter's actions seem to shouting so much louder than their words. Not to say that you're wrong. It IS a...

Them inexpensive spring-air's are lots of fun. I gotta .22 version at a gunshow a while back. Hits HARD, and is accurate enough for what I need it to do. It recoils--from the mass of the piston and spring moving around. 2 things: Some of these cheap spring-airs have an issue with...
