    Assault Weapon Identification Guide As listed or described in Illinois Compiled Statutes 720 ILCS 5/24-1.9

    Here's one from 1986. All the guns shown on the front and back covers (a couple of Galils on the back) are identified inside as semi-auto. The sections (groups of articles) are full-auto (9 articles), semi-autos (8 articles), rimfires (6 articles, including one or two select-fire weapons), and...

    Can a Convicted Felon Go to a Firing Range Strictly as a Observer? No Handling or Firing.

    At some areas, a public rifle or pistol range is about the best place to unexpectedly find yourself next to a police officer, parole agent, judge, etc. ... "Hey, don't I recognize you, aren't you so-and-so with the ten year parole?"

    So you think that Permitless Carry is legal in your state?

    Wickard v. Filburn corned 239 bushels of wheat, for which (if I did the math right) the farmer faced a penalty of $117.11. Whether or not you feel the Commerce Clause is being stretched to cover "in a state" actions, "... the production of wheat for consumption on the farm may be trivial in the...

    What is the last gun that you bought?

    A 1916 Webley Mk VI in .455", which the prior owner said a prior owner said, "It came out of New Zealand well after WW2." It's got a lot of pitting on the frame and outside of the barrel, but the barrel interior seems fine; I suspect it got a quick refinish by an arsenal long after the pitting...

    Question on traveling to California for a vacation

    You might have to check CA ammunition import laws ... the state might require you to have the shells transferred in-state through an authorized retailer.

    Shotgun picture thread.

    My parents bought a .410 gauge "Topper" for me in the mid-70s, for my chore of guarding the garden from bluejays and robins. I'd take a lawn chair, a book, a pitcher of kool-aid, an anodized aluminum cup, the shotgun, and a box of birdshot shells, and wait till I heard bird noises. I think they...

    Shotgun picture thread.

    My High Standard Model 10B. I own the proper Kel-Lite and the adapter plate to go between the light and the receiver, but still have to drill a hole in the light body and tap for threads.

    What is the last gun that you bought?

    I got two rifles recently (within the last 4 months): one is an FN30 in 8mm, sold to some Chinese warlord, and (by the time it got to America) fitted with a ZB bolt (which runs smoothly and gauges as safe); the other is a Mauser M1895 in 7mm, with (shockingly) a complete sight slider (which...

    Shipping Inherited Guns

    Californians can buy guns out of state, but if they bring them into California, "... California residents must have the weapons directly shipped to a licensed gun dealer. Then, before the dealer transfers the gun to the owner, it must follow the procedures for in-state gun transactions ..."...

    What is the last gun that you bought?

    A Pieper-Bayard "Model 1908" (not that the company called them that) in .380 ACP, constructed circa 1919-1920. It came with some ugly garage-made wood grips, I got replacements from TripleK and screws from Jack First.

    Buying a gun (any in Tn)

    The "Legal Information Institute" of Cornell Law has "notes" about amendments, etc.. They show: Subsec. (b)(3)(A). Pub. L. 99–308, § 102(4)(B), inserted a new cl. (A) and struck out former cl. (A) which provided that par. (3) “shall not apply to the sale or delivery of a rifle or shotgun to a...

    I bought earlier this year a French Mle 1873 revolver, built in 1878 according to the RCMP. I found a supplier in Belgium for reasonably priced brass and .451" bullets.

    Ca ammo law and reloading...

    Until about ... I want to say 20 years ago ... a California resident could apply to any county for a CCW permit, good throughout the state. Eventually, folk noticed that almost all of the permits were being issued by a few rural counties (led by Kern and Fresno I think), while San Francisco city...

    Old Stevens 520 riot gun

    My Model 520 has a bolt release button on the receiver side -- push it forward to release the bolt/pump handle. It also has a recoil-operated action lock. As the 1909 Stevens catalog (pg. 92) says, "The slide handle is unlocked by the recoil immediately after the discharge of the shell ..." The...

    Old Stevens 520 riot gun

    So lots of the High Standard Model 10B shotguns are missing their Kel-Lite flashlight and the mount. One of the flashlights showed up on eBay, I think it's still there ... $325 ! And the actual flashlight is all scratched up and corroded. I'm gonna buy a piece of Piicatinny rail and drill holes...
