So I went to the dentist last week, thinking I had a cavity because one of my teeth was very sensitive to cold liquid, brushing, etc. :what: Turned out that tooth, and the ones on either side of it, had lost some enamel and exposed some of the soft guts of the tooth which was causing the...

This is absolutely tragic. :( It's also a sobering lesson that kids can get to your guns if left unattended, so it's imperative that they be taught good safety and handling skills as early as possible so that they understand what guns are and that they can be dangerous if not handled...

Hey Guys and gals, I'm a member of an online writing group and occasionally we'll have "writer's duels". Basically someone will give a set of parameters and we all have a week to write a short story about it. A cuople of weeks ago there was a challenge requiring the following elements...

Two guys entered an Indianapolis pawn shop, pulled guns to rob the place and got some free lead for their trouble. :cool: http://www.wishtv.com/global/story.asp?s=7412182 One man is behind bars and another is still at large after an attempted robbery at an east side pawn shop. Security...

That would be me, BTW. ;) Don't know if any of you heard about the shooting incedent here in Bloomington, IN two days ago - long story short, some drunken college student living in an off-campus apartment walked out onto his balcony at 7am and fired a dozen rounds into the air from an AR or...

Got a question. Only gonna get one pistol in the forseeable future as I'm going back to school full time and literally have no spare money. I plan to get one pistol, which will serve double duty as home defense and target shooting, until I have more disposable income and can buy more...

Just came across this one... teenager shot two cops with an M-1 Garand. The writer calls it a sniper rifle for some reason even though the article doesn't say it had a scope. I guess calling it a sniper rifle is more sexy or something...

Okay, need some SKS advice. Never owned a semi-auto before and looked into getting an SKS recently. I'm just looking for a reliable shooter, not a collector's piece or anything. One of my local gunstores has a half-dozen Yugos (from Century, I think), selling them for $148. But I've...

Good day, eh? I've never bought a pistol before, been looking into various makes and models recently. This will probably be my only pistol for a while, as I'm going back to college full time and according to my wife there are more important things to spend money on than guns. :eek: I'm...

I haven't yet learned how to handload, but plan to in the future. I have a question about reloading military-surplus brass, specifically Swiss Berdan primed G11 7.5mm... Is this particular case easily reloadable? I've done a search on it here, but haven't really gotten a definitive...

I just read this story on MSN news. http://news.sympatico.msn.ctv.ca/TopStories/ContentPosting.aspx?newsitemid=CTVNews%2f20061128%2fgun_control_061128&feedname=CTV-TOPSTORIES_V2&showbyline=True The same anti-rhetoric is bandied about as "proof" that the gun registeration in Canada needs to...

{I originally posted this in another thread, thought I'd put it here, in it's own thread.} On a related topic, here's another thing to think about when deciding to buy online vs. local store: Sales tax. Currently there seems to be a misconception that buying online from an out of state...

Okay, I feel like a real doofus with this one, but here goes. :o I just received my 800 rd can of Czech 7.62x54r today. I opened the lid on the wooden box and inside is this big metal can, the lid of which appears to have been welded shut. There are a couple of ring tab thingees on top of...

Okay, here's my newbie question for this week. Say I'm at the range, firing away. I chamber a round, pull the trigger, but instead of "Boom!" I get a "Click." My first thought is to keep the muzzle pointed downrange, but after that...? :confused: Should I just work the bolt and...

Picked up a Mosin 91/30 last night! :cool: Made in 1931, octagonal receiver. Numbers match on bolt and receiver, but pencilled in on the floor plate. In really nice overall condition, arsenal refurbished after the war. Barrel looks like it hasn't seen many rounds fired through it...

Hey guys, I mailed my C&R application on June 10. It was returned yesterday :cuss: saying address was incorrect. The address on the form was: PO Box 845219 Dallas, TX 75284 Do any of you crufflers on here have the correct address? I looked briefly on the ATF site and couldn't...

Here's a question - When I browse sites I see surplus 7.62x54R that was made in Hungary, Poland, Russia, etc. and I wondered if any one country was noted for making superior/inferior ammo? Prices all appear the same for surplus, but I wondered if there was an overall quality issue from...

Hi folks, Okay I'm looking into getting a C&R licence and on the form it asks for the name, address, etc of my Chief Law Enforcement Officer. I'm not 100% sure who this is. I live in Indiana, so is it my county sherrif or the chief of my city police department? Or is it the head of the...

Okay, here's a newbie question. :o I was looking around at CheaperThanDirt for prices on 7.62x54R, as I'm thinking of buying a Mosin 91/30 soon. I see they have some surplus ammo on sale there which uses Steel Cases. Er, what does this mean, exactly? :confused: Is it better/worse than...

Hey guys. Okay, I saw an ad for a rifle, a factory re-furbish, that has all matching numbers on the parts. (I may be a newb, but I do know that this is a good thing... ;) ) They say the rifle is in excellent condition. However, they specify that the numbers on the bolt have been...
