    Who has completed their Gun Collection? - No more guns to buy

    Oh, I've still got guns to buy...I just can't afford them!

    New wood Grips Color Mismatch - big deal or normal?

    I'm a bit late to the thread but in terms of wood color variation keep in mind that the one facing out in the package might have been exposed to a greater amount of light since they were made and that might have had a hand in their variation. ;) Still as a customer that would not make me...

    Measuring and weighing factory defensive ammo before rotating into ccw service

    I found that too. The only way to get close to equal weights was to separate the weigh in lots by manufacturer. But since I was already separating by how many times shot the casings were it was a bit unmanageable. I'm no expert but it seems the best way is to pay attention when you are...

    NC ccw class and range info

    I could be mistaken on the mandatory part. Perhap it was just his way of covering some of the material. They were so old they were comical. Early eighties vintage- bad hair and wide collars. They might have even been on VHS ;)

    NC ccw class and range info

    Welcome! I took mine from a guy that Fuquay Gun used to promote long ago. No sure if he is still involved with them or if they now do their own. The only info I have is that his name was Charlie and the place he did the CCW classes was at his home near Duncan NC, very close to Fuquay. He...

    "Saddle ring carbine" terminology

    My grandfathers Krag Carbine had the bar and ring removed and replaced with a popsicle stick- so that he could have a quiet deer rifle back in the 30's . It was not cheap to find a replacement. Apparently lots of people did the same. I just picked up a '95 Spanish Mauser Carbine that the ring...

    NRA National Firearms Museum

    The book is worth buying. It is chock full of wonderfully shot photos. We got to the museum at 3PM when we visited due to traffic. Closes at 5:PM. Talk about drinking from a fire hose! Managed to get through it but at a speed walkers pace. As a museum professional I'd like to see their...

    Is this the perfect gun case defendant?

    I've driven through that area and it is a mess. I could see her taking a wrong turn from Philly and ending up there. Not a lot of signage. That said I think that States with specific restrictions on the 2nd ammd should have to list them at the border like they do withlights on when raining...

    How Hard does The Firing Pin Hit

    One of my old 1911 manuals has that as a training aid in it. I think there was even a target page to hang up on the wall in there.

    NC: "No Guns" BBQ Eatery gets Robbed

    The owners of the Pit and their other eateries like Raleigh Times and Gravy are pretty left leaning and anti 2nd ammend. Not to be political but they have been highly active in Democratic fund raising and hosted an Obama rally for 2008 and/or the reelection. As is their perogative. I'd imagine...

    Where to buy outdoors/hunting/shooting stuff around DC?

    Well worth the trip! Just make sure you go early enough in the day to spend some time there. We got there at 3PM and had to rush through because they close the museum at 5PM

    DHS says people with handguns, rifles, and shotguns may be terrorists

    I'll be most terrorists have feet too. Doesn't make every Biped a terrorist. Corrolation is not causation.

    C&E Gun Shows Raise Price Every Year

    The last C&E show I went to was so small and pitiful that it was the last C&E show I will ever go to at any price.

    Ruger - Rockingham County North Carolina

    Interesting. It would be a big feather in the cap of the legislators that make the deal

    Army vet disarmed of his AR and 1911 by cop

    How is a slung rifle considered a display calculated to alarm? A slung rifle is harmless. Just like a holstered pistol. And how would one prove that the displayer "calculated" to cause said alarm. Just because someone freaked out because they saw someone with a rifle over their shoulder does...

    Does it get anymore ridiculous? 7 yo charged with 2 felonies for BB Gun

    Harnett is a puzzler. I would have thought Wake would have been on the list as it is more urban. FYI CCW permits are 5 year renewals. ;)

    Converting Incandescent MagLite to LED

    I put one of the bulb replacement LEDs in my 3 cell mag light and was pleased with the brightness and battery life until it got knocked from a table top onto a concrete floor. Popped the LED off of the base and killed it. The spare bulb stowed in the rear of the battery compartment behind...

    Joe Manchin in Washington Post

    Billions of people watch violent movies and play video games. Asseting that they are the culprit is just like saying Ozzie Ozbornes songs make people kill themselves. These people are broken in their own right and that is the problem. If there is fault I believe that is is the friends and family...
