I posted this on another forum: Why has no one mentioned the Buffalo? The days when millions of bison roamed the plains are gone forever. Buffalo populations will never be allowed to become so numerous that they are once again wild animals. They will only exist as captive herds. Buffalo...

If these squirrels are coming out every day, I'd install a one-way door over the exit. They can get out but not back in. Problem solved. Doesn't require you to spend hours waiting for the rascals to present "the perfect shot". If there are babies involved, this is NOT always a good...

JCT: You have mentioned several times that the powder you make requires a smaller powder charge than powders you have purchased. How does one determine this? I'm sure that trial and error and experience play their parts, but are there measurable tests? I'm certain that I can make BP safely...

A recent thread mentioned the use of .38 (.38 Special?) ammo in a .357 lever action rifle. I've often heard it mentioned that substituting .38 for .357 is OK for a revolver. Is it really OK for the lever action?

You'll have to do that through your personnel office. Generally, you can maintain your home state as your tax home while you are in the military, or you can pay taxes to the state you have met residency requirements in. Shouldn't be a problem to change, but you'll have to file an Arkansas...

Before you jump on the 16 gauge reloader wagon, research whether you can find supplies that you can afford. Wads for 16 gauge are harder to find than the ammo is. Shot seems to be $30 a bag and up. I haven't tried the Lee Loader, but the LoadAll II has worked fine for me in the past and they...

You already have a revolver. The #1 jack-of-all-trades in firearms has to be the 12 gauge. Forget the other gauges, if only based upon price and availability of ammo. Game shells are often available for less than $5 per box of 25- that's 20 cents each! The sheer variety of loads available...

Thanks, geekWithA.45! Your "concept of "too fatal"" seems to define exactly what I thought about it..... Dead is Dead!

While reading the response to the question, "What's the difference between a shotgun that's been sawed off and a "sawed-off shotgun"?" at http://www.straightdope.com/mailbag/msawedoff.html, my mind balked when I read, "Shortening the barrel of a shotgun makes it easier to conceal and in effect...

Darn, that's 125,000 ARs that won't be sold here in the US! And a few zillion more rounds of ammo "for the war effort".... I'm guessing we'll never be able to purchase 5.56 for a reasonable price ever again.... I thought FN made the M-16's used by US Forces these days? Colt Defense LLC...

No Comparison There is no valid comparison of the availability or use of firearms in the United States of America to any other country, in my opinion. Only in the United States are the people acknowledged to have the right (and responsibility) to keep and bear arms. We also have nine other...

Johnny Horton's version was probably the most popular, but the song was written by Jimmy Driftwood. I know it's not 100 per cent reliable, but Wikipedia has some interesting info about Jimmy Driftwood.

Here is the real answer, whether we want to believe it or not: $$$$$$$ Follow the dollars!

I scattered zucchini around the porch as mines and have managed to save almost an entire bag of snickers from the enemy

Didn't want to tag this onto the "Battleship" threads already going. Seems to me that the Iowa-class battleship would have been a suitable answer to Israel's problem with the hardened "hillside" sites from which missiles were launched at them????

You are in Luck! The info you need about your press can be found on the RCBS web site. The following link is to their parts book: http://www.rcbs.com/equipment/Parts_Book.pdf Right there on page one of the RCBS Parts Book, it shows an RCBS Reloader Special Press & Junior-3 Press...

P.S. If you happen to be in the area, take the time to visit the Will Rogers museum, too.:)

Actually, this is GOOD news! When I first heard about the thefts, the number of missing guns was unknown but thought to be in the neighborhood of 6,000 pieces! I cannot rate this on a scale of 1-10 in terms of museum, but I know that each time I've been there I have left with a few more ideas...

Pick of the Litter! For a noisy, first line of defense, good with children companion, and for introducing your family to hound hunting, I vote on a beagle! They ARE known to be chow hounds, but are seldom dangerous to family and known visitors. They won't require much maintenance or training...

Why NOT???? Move the current southern US border to what is currently the southern border of Panama? That will instantly make most illegal Latinos "Probationary U.S. Citizens". They would have only LOCAL voting rights. No more exports of oil or stuff we need or like, it has to stay in the...
