In light of the Chicago sues Glock thread And the related news articles.. one of which can be found here …. I got to wondering, is this potentially more than a frivolous lawsuit. Even if it fails, does it open the door (or maybe point at it) for the ATF to deem the Glock “readily convertible”...

So my brother got a new toy, well kind of. It functions, as in the hammer will cock and when the trigger is pulled , the hammer will fall. The back plate is missing, and the overall condition is very poor. It’ll never be a shooter just something he wants to display and have a conversation piece...

When I was a teenager my dad bought me a duckfoot pistol kit. I put it together and enjoyed it for about a decade or so and made many good memories. But it’s been gone for about 20 years. Long story short I’d like to buy another one to relive my glory days but I can’t find one anywhere. Kit or...

We have all seen the “what gun” and “one gun” threads and to be honest they get a little tired. I mean, generally I know exactly what I want when the question is asked. And the answers are fairly predictable more times than not. For a different twist, how about which antique? Say pre WW1...

While the overwhelming majority of my rifles are fairly modern, think post WW2, the ones I desire most are all older designs like the Sharps, Winchesters, Rolling blocks, basically late 1800’s stuff. The Colt lightning is on top of that list of my grail guns, it has always intrigued me which...

I’m not a real big knife enthusiast, that’s my brother. He had an Estwing ax when he was in high school that could literally shave, now days he is much more of a knife nerd than he was then, studying metals stones and such as that. In contrast, to me it’s just a tool to be used up and replaced...

I know most gun control laws are stupid, but this one seems exceptionally stupid. It’s Alabama House Bill 462. Full bill here Full article here I bet that’ll be a long list, seriously who thinks of this stuff? What possible good does anyone think this could it do? Of all the gun control...

In the thread (I didn’t want to derail) on the Rittenhouse trial there seems to be a presumption by some that protecting one’s community is legal, it is possible the presumption could be its right no matter the legally. I just wonder if it’s true, legally. It got me to thinking, last year...

I’m not overly familiar with old muskets, I recognize a lot of names and some of there history but the physical differences aren’t common place in my mind. With that said I was in old hardware store today and the guy had some wall space designated to the store history. Lots of old hardware...

The other day I was in a large, popular sporting goods store, not a chain store, but larger store. I saw a pistol I’ve been considering buying for a while, it’s a decent price so why not, the wife even told me to go ahead and get it. The guy at the counter asks if the address on my drivers...

Fairly recently I got got some new sights from Dawson Precision, my dad is a retired machinist therefore he has lots of precision tools, micrometers, dove tail files, brass & plastic punches, etc. So I decided hey, I’ll go to dads house and get him to help put them on. It’s a rainy day and I...

I know someone that recently got themselves a new CCW, this particular person probably gets a new CCW every couple years. It kind of got me to thinking I’ve had the same primary carry gun for at least 13 years now. Apparently, as I’ve talked to some of my shooting buddies I’m the odd one out to...

Many years ago, 11 I think, I bought some XS Night sights to go on my carry gun which is a KAHR PM45. Well they are getting dim and in need of replacement. I’ve had mixed results with them, inside 10 yards or so they are quick, much over that I start going down hill fast so far as accuracy. I...

I have not to long ago moved to a pasture with more coyote and hogs than I care for and long story short I have decided to keep a cheap rifle in my truck to aid in their extermination. I have a old 270 Savage 110 that I think will fit the bill quiet well. I paid next nothing for it and don’t...

So I’ve decided I want a cannon, I don’t really know why but for now it’s a free country and I want one. The problem is I know very little about them, which makes buying one very problematic. I’ll sum up my thinking so far, first off I’d love to keep it under $2k else the wife will go nuts...

First off I want to start by telling you that I know of a guy that lives about a mile from me and he is paralyzed because he sat in someone else’s car, felt something poke him in the back and when he reached for the unknown object his finger tip pushed a trigger that sent a bullet into his...

I’ve been doing a lot more work the last year or so, I’ve built a new shop, ran a bunch of new fencing and just general around the farm type work....., up and down climbing and crawling type stuff. I’ve just had more time off my normal job for the last year-ish. And I’ll tell you one effect is...

So I just watched this video Near the end Jerry said something to effect of I’ve shot 800,000 - 1,000,000 rounds at it. I knew pro shooters shoot a LOT as I’ve heard Tom Knapp talk about how many rounds he had shot but still my first reaction was simply... :what: but upon further thought...

I guess we have the Democrats to thank for this (temporary) win, ironic isn’t it. https://www.salon.com/2019/09/26/gun-bill-dead-white-house-says-impeachment-killed-chances-of-legislative-progress/

I’m mainly curious, but if the price was right I might would buy one, I love unique guns. I looked around a bit and could only find one company that makes a Volley gun at all and they are built to order at $3,600+. I definitely don’t want one that bad, but if someone out there made them for...
