    Stepson going Army!

    Well, luckily for you Sans Authoritas, you don't have to think of anybody you don't want to as a hero. Remember the only reason you have the right to think that way, is tens-of-thousands of Americans servicemen have freely (well...sometimes they were drafted...but you get the idea) given their...

    Can anyone ID my grandfather's rifle and gear?

    I think it would help to tell what Krag it is if we could make out if the cleaning rod is under the barrel or not. If i remember correctly, earlier US Krags had the cleaning rod under the barrel, and later Krags had them in the buttstock (maybe the other way around tho).

    Can anyone ID my grandfather's rifle and gear?

    I'm thinking Krag too...but im not real knowledgable on the subject. The redone picture is not right. I think whoever redid the picture wrongly assumed that the wooden handguards were actually the steel barrel. Someone here that know more about this stuff then me will no doubt provide a...

    Stepson going Army!

    He should be able to volunteer. I'm in the guard, so it was easier for me, but I know quite a few people here who volunteered (regular army) and they were placed in activating troupes or companies. I think his commander will probably have a say in it though. Odds are pretty good that his...

    Stepson going Army!

    I am in Iraq right now. I'm fortunate enough to live on a FOB where I have internet connection in my room. When I'm at "home" here, I am able to e-mail or call home whenever time is available. My family knows that I may be gone for a long period of time, or that communication may not be...

    Obama:Guns No,Porn Yes

    hmmm....5 miles from school or park? Well, I guess pretty much every town that I have lived in or seen in Nebraska would effectively put out of business. Since most high school students can't buy guns (18 and all...you know the law), this is pretty much just a way to destroy places to buy guns.

    Nebraska Reloads AWB

    I just recieved a response from my senator. Short and sweet. Thats all I needed to know. I've never been too involved in state politics before, but this is deffinetley going to get me to pay better attention to whats going on in Nebraska.

    Nebraska Reloads AWB

    I don't think this has a whole lot to do with Ernie Chambers (he's a phycho, for those of you who don't know...he once tried to sue God). It comes from district 20, which is a really rich, white district in Omaha. I believe Brad Ashford is the senator, but I am not 100% sure that he is. We...

    Calling All active Duty Military Rifle Raffle.

    Thats a really cool thing for Shiloh to do. I have never really considered buying one of their rifles, but now that I know what a great company they are I will consider it.

    Nebraska Reloads AWB

    I wrote my senator. Couple of people here did the same thing. Its an amendment to LB 958, bringing California-ish gun laws to the heartland. Here are some of the changes: I really hope this does not pass.

    Ruger 380 LCP Review by Jeff Quinn

    From everything I have read about this little pistol, I really like it. Nothing against Kel-Tec, but I would rather own a similar pistol produced by Ruger for no other reason then Ruger's customer service. I wish the slide locked open on the last round though. That is the one featuer that i...

    Why I'm Armed: The Latest Family Slaughter

    This article does not provide very many details, but it doesn't sound too good. Hopefully the Texas courts will take care of the offenders, but its still scary to hear about these things happening, especially in rural areas. I hate hearing about acts of violence like this, but its a good...

    Q: Dog, Dog Training , Dos Whistle

    hmmm...no jungles where im from, but my dog would surely come with me if I were to enter one. I'm pretty sure I wont be able to help you much on the subject, but I am very interested in the kind of hunting you would be doing. Is the dog for tracking/treeing, or is he there to warn you of...

    Can I LEGALLY own a handgun

    DISCLAIMER: I am not a lawyer, social worker, judge, psycologist, doctor, or ATF agent...nor to I aspire to become one. My advise is worth what you paid for it. Jamesmb: After reading thru all of the posts (mostly the last one), I would think that you would qualify to own a firearm. You...

    Marksmanship Basics for Rifle

    DaveInFloweryBranchGA has it right. If your not going to go for first hand instruction, army TM's are great. They are easy to read (let's face it...they were written so ANYONE could understand them), and are a pretty good source of the fundementals. If these TM's have collectively trained...

    60th Birthday gift ideas

    Henry makes a Golden Boy rifle that you can have personalized for him. I know its not a pistol, but you can get write him a nice message on it, and it is something that would be cool to pass down. I think the price would come to around 350 or so, and be totally personalized...

    Man shoots self to avoid work.

    I'm with GuyWithQuestions...the more interesting story might actually be how he gave himself up. Shooting ones self so as not to go to work is rediculous enough, but owning up to it is probably even worse. What an idiot.

    Triple tactical failure on a hog hunt.

    Wow, everything that could have gone wrong....did. Sounds like you still had a good time, and everyone came back unscathed. Hogs might not exactly be cape buffalo, but they are plenty dangerous (depending on their size of course) if the hunter is unarmed. Glad to hear you didnt plunge your...
