    Your favorite gun song

    Santeria by Sublime. It sounds like a love song, his voice is so sweet. But then when you listen to the words, you realize it’s more of a break-up song.

    cz 550 full stock 9.3 x 62

    I have a CZ model 550 full stock in 9.3X62MM and the same gun in 7X57MM Mauser. If I had it all to do over again I would buy the LUX or the American model. The CZ’s are very nice rifles and I bought the full stock versions because I like the style, but I found out through shooting that I can...

    Tazer for Bears?

    Tazering Bears? That is the funniest thing I have heard in a long time! :D And Rodney wasn’t wearing a thick fur coat that I doubt the darts would even penetrate. Any day now, I'm sure! :banghead:

    Rant warning: Cabela's, Sportsmens Warehouse, etc

    Since so many of you know better how to run a small gun shop than the people that are doing it now, why don’t you liquidate your life’s savings, invest it in an inventory of firearms and related merchandise and show the rest of us how it is done! I have been making a living selling guns for...

    Quick Question Regarding Rifle Scopes..

    I would put it as buy enough scope. The minimum I would consider is a Leupold VX-I. They are about $200. There are better scopes, but I would not bet my hunt on a lesser one.

    What type of gun is this?

    It is a Reising Model 55, it had a wire folding stock, and if you look at the way his right hand is lying he could not hold the M50 that way, the pistol grip on the M55 is more vertical and his hand is wrapped around it, and the M50 had a conventional full length wood stock. Civilian shooters...

    Eddie Albert a real hero

    I saw the interview with him on the History Channel; I think it was off Omaha beach. I agree with your sentiments, when I heard that he had died, that interview was the first thing that came to mind, particularly with it being Memorial Day weekend.

    Gun Friendly? Livable? Beloit WI

    Don’t write off southern Wisconsin, it is a nice area, just that I do not remember Beloit itself being so great, kind of rundown. I expect that you can find a nice place outside of the town itself. :) Just look into Illinois state income taxes to be sure that they do not hammer you! ;)

    I hate E-bay

    Actually, if the negs were old, I would buy from you. I realize you just can not make all the people happy all the time. It is a judgment call. The poster I bid, on the guy had 96%, and two of the recent feedbacks were negs, not surprised I am having problems with him. There is nothing else...

    Gun Friendly? Livable? Beloit WI

    I remember Beloit as a rather “downtrodden” town, but that is from about 15-20 years ago, things may have improved. Outside of Beloit itself, rural Wisconsin is fine, much more gun friendly than Illinois. You may also want to look into taxes, Illinois has a state income tax, and they may be...

    I hate E-bay

    I have had two deals go bad, and one that is in the process of going bad right now. Listed as a Japanese Papa Nambu holster, actually was a French Mle 1892 revolver holster. Eventually got a refund, no help from E-bay, but Mail Fraud statutes are quite useful and at least the Postal...

    I hate E-bay

    It is a love hate relationship I had E-bay yank an auction of mine for an AK-47 sling. Yes, it is their house; they set the rules, yada, yada, yada. Have you ever been cheated by one of their sellers? Ever try to get help from E-bay? They will not do a thing for you; in fact they will...

    Steel core question

    Why? Something wrong with inexpensive ammo? Steel core rifle ammo is legal as long as there are not any pistols readily available in that caliber. Has no particular use as hunting ammo, just that steel is cheaper than lead and the ammo can be made for less money for plinking. Lots of steel...

    Bonehead Assembly Mistakes

    A bonehead disassembly mistake…. Browning A5, first time I took one apart, they have a very powerful barrel return spring, it has the ability to throw the barrel all the way across the basement (the long way too! :what: ), darn barrel rang like a bell when it landed on the cement floor! :o

    Curio Rifles--Where Does Your HEART Lie?

    Arasaka’s, Nambu’s and other Japanese military arms! You know you have it bad for Japanese guns when you are stuck in traffic and the written Japanese on the sports car or motorcycle next to you starts to make sense! :neener: Greetings from down the road in Anchortown…. ;)
