    If they made an M1 Carbine style stock for the .22 Mossberg 702 would you buy it?

    Thrown out as a thought. The Mossberg 702 (and near twins made by CBC, Rossi) are widely advertised and affordable and show up on the used market at reasonable prices. M1 Carbines are wildly popular and prices are going wild. Would you buy an M1 replica stock for a Mossberg 702 or Rossi RS22...

    Lame Excuse for a Trip to the Range

    Previous trip to the range I found a slew of discarded .22 shells each with a light strike. Out of curiosity I took them home, cleaned them up, and tried them next trip in a Heritage Rough Rider and an M6 Scout. (original firing pin strike down, my guns' strikes top) Six on top were fired...

    PLCAA upheld in Arizona court

    Sounds like Biden's bid to repeal PLCAA might not be a slam dunk. Brady Campaign suit held Glock liable. The handgun was an unmodified Glock 19 9mm. Someone pulled the magazine from a Glock, [someone else presumed the gun was empty], pulled the trigger, and shot another person. Paul Bedard...

    Request for Clarification

    The thread Think we'll get current SBR regs thrown out? (proposed bill The Home Defense and Competitive Shooting Act of 2019) got thrown out of the Legal forum. Kinda like a Perry Mason scene: "Objection your honor, calls for speculation." But what is the Legal forum? In the Legal Forum we try...

    A modest proposal....

    ....not totally tongue in cheek. I had reason to re-read Chapter 1 of Wright and Rossi "Under the Gun" 1983 and was struck by recalling that polls showed that support of more gun control is inverse to knowledge of existing gun control laws. People who know the existing laws are less likely...

    gang-related shootings are down 92 percent in Manchester, UK

    What a target rich environment! The frivilous lawsuit illustrates the danger of making the USA subject to international law and international courts: we have enough idiocy in our legal system with home-grown laws. And "Gawd look at those YOBs as old geezers when they get out" may actually...

    paper towels for cleaning patches: any downside?
