I noticed this article (Obama administration forcing new gun buyers to declare race, ethnicity) in the Sept. 17, 2014 Washington Times newspaper. These blanks for race and ethnicity on Form 4473 have been on the form for a while (I have seen them & filled them out), but now the feds are...

I saw this news blurb in The Washington Times newspaper two days ago: This is from an article Allen West warns Obama’s ‘backdoor gun control is moving forward’. Where would we find authoritative information on this? (Not that former Congressman Allen West is at all unreliable, just that I...

PURPOSE: A legal method to make it practically impossible for any government agency to track a particular firearm to its actual physical location, even if the firearm is legally purchased, background-checked and, in some localities, registered. The further purpose is to avoid government...

What are the best reasons to pay extra for a chrome-lined bore? Please explain below, or add your own.

Question on cartridge design/function: (please forgive this slight diversion from the facts of the case.) Is a rifle primer supposed to be so tightly seated in the base of the brass that the primer will remain in place during the explosion of the powder, even if the primer is NOT supported by...

While shopping for .30 cal suppressors I stumbled upon the Finnish-make BR Reflex Suppressor (mfg/license by BR-Tuote Oy & Jussi Sivonen, Joensuu, Finland http://www.brtuote.fi/). I was kinda fascinated by the "reflex" concept. For those (like me, yesterday) new to the type, most of the...

or, in more context: FYI, this is a very partial and distorted image (therefore hopefully not a copyright issue) from the book by Marcus Luttrell, "Service: A Navy SEAL at War". I bought the book and very much enjoyed reading it. Very good stuff to think about over Memorial Day. I am...

Subheading: swapping, trading, exchanging, relocating, giving away and/or rotating firearm location or possession The power of gun ownership by the general public is multiplied many-fold if no one knows where the guns are. They could be anywhere. Every potential criminal, or...

For several reasons, I think it is important for us gun owners, sellers, users and lovers to use technical terms properly, especially in this time of renewed activity by the anti-2A and gun-grabber folks. One reason I think this, and perhaps the main reason, is that a classic tactic of the...

I am fixing to spend $1000 or so on a .30 cal suppressor. I will shoot with full-power (.308 Win) and mid-power (7.62x39mm) .30 cal cartridges. I have several semi-auto rifles, all of which would eventually get threaded muzzles to accept this can. Normally, I never shoot a semi-auto...

Does anyone have experience with the McFadden Machine Co. Ultimate Tripod? Would you recommend it for general sighting in and maybe blind hunting? Here's a video demo. I do not totally understand what this beastie does, but it does not look like a "lead sled" type of cradle that totally...

We have at least three threads going on now/recently that raise the question of rifling twist rate versus bullet weight. Here they are: Thoughts on fast twist 6.8 SPC barrel http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=685374 180gr in a .270 Winchester...

Anybody try this oil: American Gun Oil? Here's the web site: http://americangunoil.com/ The technical description sounds good, tho' the writing has a few grammar/spelling errors. From the description and look of the bottle, this is a very light oil and appears to be sprayed on with a...

I bet there are a bunch of old threads about getting started hand loading. I did look a while at the sticky: For the New Reloader: Thinking about Reloading; Equipment Basics -- READ THIS FIRST. Seemed a little overwhelming this late at night - I will try again later. Yesterday, when I was...

I posted what I hope are some decent pictures of a WWII-era Model 97 rigged out for military issue. I was asking a historical question over at the Firearms Research forum, but we might as well get dual use of the posting if any here are interested. Click here: Insignia on Winchester Model 97...

I was wondering what these two markings meant on the left cheek of the stock of this Model 97 shotgun? I was wondering if it was for a military supply depot, a fielded military unit or something like that? Here's some other data on the gun: On side of barrel at receiver: Bottom of receiver...

Yeh, this is a trivial thread. I got some "Grade B" ammo cans from the U.S. Army, and they've got some rusty edges and somebody's spray-painted over the label/markings on the can -with WHITE paint :cuss:. They look like cr@p, but the gaskets are good and they are very air-tight. [I did some...

When thinking about .30 cal rifle ammo for defensive purposes, I wanted something cheap enough to practice with sometimes and with good stopping power/less over-penetration. I noticed that there are hundreds of pistol rounds with round nose soft point bullets, and pistols are all about defense...

I was unaware the rules were so "fuzzy". See article from today's The Washington Times newspaper by Chuck Neubauer (below). I think gun designers should all publish their private ruling letters in one central register or blog, so that everybody can see how capricious the federal bureaucrats...

You know the tritium vials you can get for 3-dot sights? (I've seen them mostly on pistols.) I love ghost ring sights on a rifle. Can I get any style of ghost ring that has some sort of glow-in-the-dark ring? And, of course, would need matching front bead for the muzzle end. Are there any...
