A previous thread, about the SAS operative who helped rescue folks in the Westgate Mall attack, was shut down, in part because firearms seem to have little to do with his heroics. Well, here's a different story of rescue efforts where having a gun appears to have emboldened the person who...

New Garand owner here. Maybe some of you long time Garand owners can explain how to fit all the items from a buttstock "cleaning kit" in the buttstock. The kit I have has a long plastic tube that basically fills the shorter of the two holes in the buttstock. The cleaning rod parts and tip fit...

Do any of you have any experience with outfits that provide legal services like those provided by CCW Safe or Texas Law Shield? My son, who lives in Texas, uses the latter, and I've been hearing advertisements for CCW Safe on Fox. A quick look at the CCW Safe web site indicates that it may be...

I note a lot of different ways folks carry their guns and gear from their vehicles to the shooting benches at the range where I shoot. Quite a few lash their gun cases to handtrucks. One regular has a wagon of sorts that he loads up and hauls it all in with. Any of you do something like...

After a long wait, my M1 Garand in .308 from CMP finally arrived this week, and I had it out to the range today. It shot great, when it fired. The problem is that it often misfired. I had six en bloc clips loaded, and on loading the first one, the first two times I suppressed the trigger, all...

Story here. I don't shop there regularly, but after this, I'll be sure not to shop there at all.

Now even .9mm ammo is selling out:

Not sure of the right forum for this (Handloading and Reloading?), but the mods can move it if they decide it fits elsewhere. TTAG is reporting that the "Explosive Materials Background Check Act" would severely restrict or limit access to powder for reloading: Is anybody else as alarmed...

People are going to need ammo, and lots of it, to feed all the MSR's they are buying: Of course, this "production" data (including imports), not sales, but I imagine it is in response to demand. Makes me warm and tingly to see my fellow citizens arming up like this. Bodes well for the...

Analysis put together by someone who knows how to read an SEC 10-Q: Read the whole thing, here.

So says this article. It is a good, but succinct, postmortem on how the gun control bill was defeated. It highlights the tea party contribution, and gives a more realistic view of just what contribution the NRA made. Those who are anti-NRA may think they see something here to support their...

If you've been following gunbot for primers, you've probably noticed that often the only listing "in stock" is from "ammunitionstore" -- small rifle magnum, Wolf --- for $79.99. Well, today they've lowered the price to a fantastic $69.99 (per 1k). Of course, with shipping, and the $27.50...

For all of you defending the Republicans who voted to allow debate to move forward on the Senate gun bill, you should listen to Rand, Cruz and Lee: There is an abuse of process going on here, if allowed to continue, undermines the foundations of our republic. This moving bills out of committee...

Here's a little different take on the G&A rankings of gun laws by states that were under discussion recently. Many noted how that the ranking was flawed because it assigned different ranks to states with the same scores. So what I did was create three different groups and build a color coded...

Full story here. I don't often find myself agreeing with the ACLU, but their position on this is going to help our cause. Politics does sometimes make strange bedfellows. Now, the person interviewed does say that don't oppose UBC per se, but their arguments against Reid's bill are all very...

I don't know if his amendment has any chance of passing. I am going to contact my Senator -- Pryor, one of the Democrats up for reelection in 2014 in a red state-- and encourage him to support it. If enough of the Democrats who don't want to vote for gun control were to support the...

Holder, yesterday: I wonder what C&R firearms they have in mind here? SKS's? They really will not stop until they are out of power, or they have all our guns. If you've got representatives or senators who buy the "reasonable" restriction line, here's just another example you can point out to...

I recall the "panic" of '09. But it was nothing compared to this one. What I have a hard time understanding is why shipping times are so long with online ammo venders when most anything is "out of stock?" Anybody else see the irony there? I loaded up real well during and after the '09...

I'm trying to sight in a .357 lever action (1894C). It is scoped with an XS Lever Scout mount, 2" high, and forward of the action. Being a pistol cartridge, what is a good notion of an effective range, and what would be a good range to zero at? Any suggestions?
