"Finding a President that agrees with each persons view will never happen." Dude, if it were as simple as 'disagreements', there wouldn't be as much stewing resentment among the man's own political grassroots. He's boned the conservative movement over and worked feverishly to damage...

So if you dislike the way the president has led, you automatically are for the opposition? Lay off. Bush's presidency has become a load of tripe. It was bad enough to simply do nothing positive in terms of constitutional rights, but he further said he would support unconstitutional laws, in...

Well, modern guns really aren't my thing. So I buy a lot of milsurp. American 'surp is really expensive, so I tend to get whatever is available- thus, I tend to end up with some weird, eclectic pieces. I tend to find a certain amount of perverse pleasure in buying up small arms made by our...

Well, by golly, the world just grew a bit brighter. Guess it will be a good day after all. :)

Thanks for your help, guys. :)

We just got done checking the OAL for my dad's Enfield 2A, and I'm still a bit blown away. We used the 'measure from bolt face, then from tip of bullet pressed against throat' method to figure it out, and the numbers we got were pretty strange. Like, 3/32nds of an inch longer than the max OAL...

Actually, it was CHPs that disarmed the gramma in Nawlins, not National Guard, at least as I remember it. "your electoral votes will be going to the Democrat, no matter what you do." This is why I hate living in Washington state. That and the no-title-II BS.

MikeHaas, how do you deal with the fact that the NRA has consistently surrendered our rights when pressed by gun-control fanatics? The tiger bites their hand, and they shove their arm down its throat in hopes of choking it. Doesn't work to give them more than they want, or 'compromise'. We...

Tanksoldier, you're quite right that taking the military oaths means that you're subject to military jurisprudence, and are obligated to follow orders. HOWEVER. If you believe these orders to be improper, or illegal- if YOU believe them to be so, you are morally bound to disobey them. If...

"terrorists might exploit loopholes to buy weapons." Yeah, I mean, you have all these shifty-eyed guys with beards and turbans lining up in gun shops to buy neutered AK-clones and pistols, filling out their 4473 form, getting their NICS check, following through on their waiting period...

Uh... What about the part where he says the prosecution in courts martial will have sole discretion in all evidence presented? That's a pretty nasty accusation, is that actually happening now? No child or relative of mine is going to put themselves in that kind of situation. Ever. :barf...

"That they didn't even try (given current data) is beyond sad." It is sad, but it's also human nature; in a group without a charismatic leader, we just tend to do what the group is doing. Especially when in a stressful situation. We're a lot more like sheep than we like to believe.

"On the one hand, the average American has become so timid in the face of those that would like to cut our heads off or convert us to their religion. Then on the other hand you have a more crass and violent segment of society that seems to be emerging at the same time." We're on the same road...

Swingset, what kind of accuracy are you getting from that Ciener? Say, at 50 meters or so? I'm thinking about dropping a Ciener into a varmint rifle, so I can shoot a centerfire varmint match and then a rimfire varmint match directly after that with the same rifle. Probably about 1-9 twist...

At a price point of $400, I would have purchased two. At $500, I will only purchase one, grudgingly, because getting a Garand would cost more in the long run (Rack Grade+ barrel and new wood, etc.). And yes, $500 is a LOT for a gun, at least for a very common milsurp. The most expensive...

My dad got his Service grade yesterday. Looks reaaal sweet, well worth waiting from November. He sent his order in literally almost a day before the 'sold out' posting on the website, and we were just about sure he wouldn't get one. Thanks, CMP! :)

That sounds like a fun idea. Our local range (Custer Sportsman's Club, Custer, Washington) has a tactical course behind the primary berm, and I've considered running it with a bolt-action once or twice, purely for yucks. For one thing, it teaches you the limitations of the systems, both the...

"I find your use of the word "fudd" insulting." What did you think the point of using it was? Some people deserve to be insulted and belittled, and those are the ones that bring it upon themselves. The way I see it, the problem was less that the salesperson was a died-in-the-wool gun...

Okay, my brain just about melted. You're saying you want to load the magazine, then close the bolt without stripping a round, right? I can't think of a single military bolt action (my experience is limited, ymmv)that allows you to close the bolt on a full magazine without stripping a round...

People keep telling me I should be a cop And I keep telling them 'uh uh'. This is only one more example of why. Makes me sick that people still have respect for law enforcement when they collectively refuse to denounce behavior like this.
