My Mom bought a used semi-auto .22 circa 1970 and remembers paying 179 or so dollars for it. Short on cash a few years later she sold it even though she loved the piece. I'd love to find the model, maybe even buy it if only for nostalgia. I gathered some clues from her as to features since...

I sent this inquiry to Heinie and have not received a response, so I'm asking THR. In summary, the top of the front and rear sights do not line up when the 3 dots are aligned (details below, and see attached image). Depending on light, the three dots are not easily visible, so speed suffers...

Toy Gun Puts Princeton U In Lockdown A "little" on edge maybe?

Just from curiosity, are there any agencies that use frangible pistol ammunition? I'm aware of some law enforcement units that use it only on their training ranges, but not for duty carry. It's a popular internet rumor that Federal Air Marshals carry frangible ammunition now. But, to the best...

Sean Taylor, Plaxico Burress - these are high profile athletes with high visibility stories concerning guns in the past year. I have been very disapointed with the general response and vitriol against gun ownership as a result of these incidents. Now, ESPN has posted the following...

Informed voting is the most fundamental form of activism we can achieve. This is not to say you should vote how the NRA tells you, but it's a good reference to inform your vote. You can drill down by zip code or by navigating the map. http://www.nrapvf.org/Elections/Default.aspx...

Today, I was asked by a friend to not bring a gun with me when I'm at their house. Oookay. The reason given was that the dad is on probation - curfew, probation officer, the works - and is frequently there (but doesn't live there currently). He isn't allowed to be "around" guns. They claim...

Everything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. Can and will. Everything. Including flippant remarks made on The High Road three years prior to your arraignment. MySpace and Facebook indiscretions are increasingly frequent sources of damning court evidence, and THR is...

http://appleseedinfo.org/smf/index.php?topic=2071.0 Of note, this event has a 400yd firing point. A buddy of mine and I are signed up - AR-15, 22-250, and 2 Ruger 10/22 rifles. Anyone else going?

Apparently, both guys shot each other with a taser, and one at least indicated with body language he would draw a gun. I take four things away from this: 1) Definite unnecessary escalation on the part of at least one party - probably both 2) Don't talk to the press about a pending legal...

I think the average John Q. Public's aversion to firearms is largely a lack of education. 100 years back, America was much more rural, gun ownership was mainstream, and parents took responsibility to train their children about gun safety. Today, most parents are as clueless about guns as their...

U.S. Pastor Given More Than 3 Years in Prison for Bringing Rifle Shells Into Russia

Sorry mods, I didn't see this other thread in Legal. Read link. [New South Wales] Apparently, kids were using lasers to temporarily blind pilots. So, instead of slapping a 14 year jail sentence on the little buggers for their behavior, NSW just adds these tools to their burgeoning...

There is a lot of really good info buried in The High Road thread database. Unfortunately, vBulletin's 'Search' feature on THR seldom helps me find anything - but that's just me. Enter, Google. Most of you probably know this, but for those that do not, Google can narrow it's search to only...

I ordered a holster from HBE Leatherworks for a compact-frame Glock. That was Jan 28, and it arrived today! Two months is short for hand-made leather work. It's a black, DC Tuckable model so I can conceal with a tucked in shirt if needed. The quality is readily apparent, the workmanship is...

(found on http://www.israellycool.com/) ...are out on safari. They are captured by cannibals who start getting the cooking pots ready. The cannibal chief tells the hunters they can have one last wish. “What’s your last request?” he asks the American. “I’d like a steak,” he replies...

I've never used front/rear fold-down sight before, but have some on my new AR. Both YHM front and rear sights have some play. The bases are solid and there is zero side-to-side movement, they just wobble forward and back a bit when pushed. Is this normal, unusual, or am I just being my...

The High Road outage made me ponder the critical role message boards play in the gun community. Ten years ago, a BATAF raid such as the one in Arizona last week would have gone un-noticed by all but the local community. Drives to lobby for support or opposition to legislation were limited in...

I've never reloaded and always bought factory ammunition. However, with the price increases the last year, I am seriously considering reloading at least for 5.56/.223. However, one of my local gun dealers told me that raw materials costs were up so much that it wasn't really worth it. Is this...
