Froglube: First impressions and prejudices. An acquaintance purchased the entire suite of FL products and was deeply impressed by the performance. He loaned me his stash so I could try it out. There are three products in the Froglube line: Froglube CLP Paste 4 Oz. $12.00; Froglube CLP...

Three of my favorites are from Englishmen which goes to show what has happened to that once great island race. Form, Form, Riflemen Form Ready, be ready to meet the storm! Riflemen, Riflemen, Riflemen form! ~Alfred Tennyson “I know something of charters, liberties franchises, usages...

Many folks don’t realize just how heavy those WWII submachine guns were (7-10 pounds). Thus you had the weight of a rifle (or more) and the power of a pistol. That was the price you paid for portable individual automatic fire in the 1930s-40s. Even the StG was no lightweight. The M1...

There is a temperature when conventional lubricants will cease to lubricate. I don’t expect to be shooting in such temps because I know I will fail before my gun oil fails. Besides, I don’t think my car will take me to the range if it is cold enough to 'solidify' oil and grease. Semper...

This is a well written article but there is at least one inconsistency with Mr. Grant’s observations and conclusions. He disparages “plain mineral oils” while praising Lubriplate FMO-AW. But according to the MSDS, Lubriplate FMO-AW is white mineral oil. Perhaps there is a subtle distinction...

Remember that great line delivered by Sean Connery in The Untouchables? "They pull a knife, you pull a camera. He sends one of yours to the hospital, you send the bill to the NHS. That's the London way!" Or something like that…

Sale of the The Springfield M1A (and copies) will be banned in Maryland on October 1, 2013.

Pricey? Midway did donate one million dollars to the NRA-ILA last month.

Charles I of England went to his death proclaiming ‘A sovereign and a subject are clean different things.’ All the right they promise—all the wrong they bring. Stewards of the Judgment, suffer not this King! ~Kipling

SDM, We have had a similar "compromise" here in Maryland. "Assault Rifles" are treated like handguns- background check, safety test, waiting period, must be 21. Nothing larger than a 20 round magazine may be purchased in or shipped to this state. "Assault pistols" have been banned...

Armed pacifism is not a paradox. Only the powerful can choose to be peaceful. In order to hold a precept, you must have the ability to break it. Consider the honey bee. A most gentle creature. But if molested it will respond with its weapon. It will also die doing so. But if not for the...

Thirty years ago the results of this debate would have beeen very different. Back then, a 9mm was a belt holster pistol firing FMJ ammunition. At this same time, the .38 (revolver & ammunition) came in all sizes and performance levels. If you wanted a concealable auto you were confined to the...

As to the police hit ratio, it is being reported that the gunman received "10 wounds". This is not to say that he was struck by ten bullets. Even if he was struck by ten bullets that does not mean those bullets didn't go on to injure others. More will be revealed including, no doubt, an EPA...

Back in the 1980’s, advertising copy and gun magazines fully embraced the term ‘assault rifle’ to describe semi auto look alikes. It was only when the antis started using this nomenclature against us did the gun community back off from the term. I like the name ‘militia rifle’ though sadly...

Whether or not a retained bullet causes lead poisoning depends mostly on where the bullet is. Usually bullets in soft tissue form an inert cyst. Bullets left in bone or in the joints can cause plumbism.

While “A paint chip containing lead the size of my thumb nail is enough to kill a child” is probably not accurate, an ingested lead charm bracelet medallion has caused death. http://pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/118/6/2548.long Abstract A 4-year-old black boy was admitted to the...
