    Below are a couple of recent articles in PA which help illustrate the dangers of not taking firearms safety seriously. Regarding the second article, the backstop at that range was a cliff wall about seventy feet high. http://www.fortmilltimes.com/124/story/268373.html...

    Repairing a rust-damaged S&W 910

    Does anyone have advise for repairing a rusty S&W 910? It does seem to be in repairable condition, after soaking it in oil to get the slide and action loose. I've used oil and steel wool to brush out rust spots on the slide, and the slide itself is slightly pitted. The safety is difficult...

    "We're all prisoners now"

    There isn't a direct link between this news and firearms, but I found it disturbing enough to post anyway. If a L&P forum mod can't find a way to link it to the forum purpose, please close it. "Forget no-fly lists. If Uncle Sam gets its way, beginning on Jan. 14, 2007, we'll all be on no-fly...

    Norinco 1911 .45 Price Check

    Hey folks. I found someone who has a Norinco 1911 in fairly good condition. There is surface rust on the grip screws and surface rust "frosting" on parts of the frame. Mechanically it seems solid and should clean up, though it may need refinished. He's asking $399. Blue book for 100% is...

    MAK-90...to keep or to sell

    Heya folks. I just picked up my MAK-90 today off of layaway and took her to the range. She was new in the box, or so says the salesman. Shoots fine, trigger is like butter, compact, hate the magazines, but now I'm wondering if I /really/ want to have to stock 7.62x39. Part of me says I...

    '80 'kill-for-thrill' defendant, on death row, gets new trial

    I grew up in Apollo, PA. I remember the memorial and the news of this officer's senseless murder. One of the murderers just got a new trial awarded to him because his lawyer was found to be "ineffective." http://post-gazette.com/pg/06222/712432-53.stm '80 'kill-for-thrill' defendant, on...

    MAK-90 Pricing?

    I just put money down on a "NIB" MAK-90. It did appear unfired when I inspected it. The only flaw was a touch of corrosion on the piston, but nothing that won't clean up fine. It came with 3 of the low-cap magazines and has a thumbhole stock. I actually like the stock, it seems to fit...

    Boy killed with PA State Senator's handgun

    The local press is already sharpening their knives on this story. State Senator, Republican, supporter of the right to keep and bear arms, firearms that may have been stored in a "reckless" manner, and a dead 14 year-old boy. To be honest, though, State Sen. Regola may well be culpable in...

    Libby: Bush authorized the Plame leak

    Maybe I'm officially a moonbat myself, but I've called my Congressman to state: This needs to be investigated. If true, Bush and Cheney should be brought up on articles of impeachment. http://www.cnn.com/2006/POLITICS/04/06/libby.ap/ I'm very disappointed. Bush went on national TV how...

    Weapons Churn: Should I sell my Colt for a LMT MRP?

    Currently I own a Colt 6920 (complete), and a SBR that is a Stag lower with a Colt 11.5" A1 upper. There's also a KAC RAS-II laying around here that I could sell. Hmm. The ARMS Aimpoint mount would have to go, too. Would I be nuts to sell the 6920, KAC RAS-II, and Colt upper, then use the...
