They say it happens to us all eventually. Friday was my turn. I was brushing up for my renewal class with the poodle-poppin' 9mm, and wanted to cleanse my palette with my way-too-fun-to-shoot 1911. So, I loaded up and started shooting. Rounds 1-7 fired as normal. BOOM. BOOM. BOOM. Round 8...

Here's an odd request for y'all. I need a holster for hunting season, but not the usual kind. A few of the stands I hunt from (there are 7 on the property) during rifle season are a bit...um...cramped. I always carry a pistol with me, and a couple of times last season I could have made an...

Short version: Don't ask, just read it! Slightly longer version: Chivers ostensibly sets out to trace the history and development of the AK-47 and it's family of assault rifles/machine guns. In the process, he examines the entire history of automatic arms, beginning with Gatling and Maxim...

Greetings all! Believe it or not, I'm having a hard time getting answers over at RFC to these questions, so I thought I'd try here, too. What I have is a Marlin 57 Levermatic rebranded as a Sears Model 44DL. The barrel stamp (JG) indicates a manufacture date of October 1963, yet the...

We've been told time and again by the naysayers that the "supposed" coming price increases are just a ploy by retailers to drive traffic and sales, even after they gave us information showing what was going up when and why. Well, they have officially begun. I just got this in my Facebook...

Now that the hunting seasons have come to an end here (and I've filled all my tags (woo hoo!!)), I'd like to poll the bowhunters on their scent control protocols for the off-season. I usually take my hunting clothes (which I use for both bow and rifle seasons) and wash them when the season...

Greetings, all! Having figured out the whole reloading process with .45 ACP, it's time to move to 9mm to keep my wife from shooting up all my ammo! I'm loading for an SR9c with about 400 rounds down the pipe. I've got Zero 124gr FMJ bullets and HP-38 powder along with Winchester SP primers...

I didn't want to hijack 1KPerDay's thread on washing brass, as my question is a bit different, so here's a new thread: The range where I do my brass pickups has a significant 'drift' of old brass, some of it several years old. The owner has said that if I can figure out a way to pick it up...

Here's a question for the non-Texans out there: This year, for the first time, crossbows are a legal means of taking deer during archery season for the general population. Previously, they were legal only for those who had a medical reason for not using a traditional or compound bow. I...

Our kids (8 and 10) are itching to have their own bows, so "Santa" will likely bring them one this year. Any recommendations out there from the youth market? I saw these from Fuse http://www.fusearchery.com/youth/, but can't seem to find them anywhere for sale for less than $180. I'm looking for...

Anyone seen the latest AmberWatch Alert PSA? Very weird, very inflammatory (to me) and very anti-2A. Or at least anti- self-defense. Sure, not all kids are snatched in front of Mom or Dad, but don't make blanket statements like "You don't need a gun to protect your kids" either...

The search function didn't turn this up, and I'm a bit wary of passing on something that may be hoax-ish. I know many of these rules and regs have been in force on-base for some time, but the registration of personal firearms kept off-base in off-base housing seems a bit extreme to me, even if...

I was catching up on Tom Gresham's Gun Talk radio show podcasts today and heard this during hour 2 of the 3/21 show: Ed Head of Gunsite said that their testing shows that in PREMIUM SD AMMO performance is almost identical bewteen .380, .38 Special and 9mm, especially in Hornady Critical...

State Senator Kirk Watson (D-Austin) [who gets no love from me] is trying to break the "Republican monopoly" in the legislature. He's having an online poll to see which Democratic State Representative in a contested election should get a $10,000 donation from his campaign fund. There are 10...

So the ATF seizes 30 Airsoft guns from a dealer in Tacoma because the mouths of the barrels aren't painted orange. OK, so that's not legal. Got it. But: Special Agent Kelvin Crenshaw said the toys can be easily retro-fitted into dangerous weapons. "With minimal work it could be converted to a...

I've seen a few comments on the CMMG Bargain Bin ARs on the forum, and they look like a pretty good deal to me. To those of you who have one, how would you rate your rifle? I'm thinking of getting one as a "learner" rifle, with an eye towards building my own in the future. In your experience, do...

Yes, it is true. There is no limit to the creativity that we of crimson nape possess. A few days ago (I think) someone asked if there was a boresighting tool for a .22 rifle. I thought, there's gotta be a cheapo way to make one... I wondered if this would work and, "Lo!" and "Behold!" it...

Here's an article updating the story of the California HS student who was expelled after two shotguns were found in his truck which was parked off campus. He is expelled no more and his record has been wiped clean. http://www.orland-press-register.com/ne ... desko.html Interesting to see...

It looks like it may be true: http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2010/01/18/ruger-lcr-coming-in-357-mag/ Now, the question is: Which hurts worse, being shot with this gun, or shooting it?

Perhaps my search-fu stinketh, but I can't find anything on this subject here, nor on the inter-webs. I looked at handgunlaw.us, and they have a pretty good listing of what is and is not legal. State parks are off-limits, but I'm not sure if ski areas count as public lands, state parks, or...
