    Gun Control Through Effective Messaging

    http://www.examiner.com/article/there-is-a-gun-control-playbook-versus-washington-gun-owners The guide can be found here: http://thegunwriter.blogs.heraldtribune.com/files/2013/08/Gun-ViolenceMessaging-Guide-PDF-1.pdf. It seems the original link was taken down after word got out.

    RC Kar 98K

    I ordered it in late Feb this year, took almost 5 weeks to arrive, probably due to back orders and panic buying in general. The barrel bands were not as easy to get off as the Youtube videos showed, but I got it apart, de-cosmolined, and oiled up. As I understand it the Russians took these...

    Nagant revolver, model of 1895

    Just picked this M1895 up on my C&R, the ammo came in on Friday, and got it out to the range Saturday. According to the markings, this pistol was manufactured in 1940 at the Tula plant and was refurbished after WWII. It's got wood grips, not the bakelite ones as pictured on aimsurplus.com where...

    Has anybody handled, shot, or even seen a Mk22 (22LR SCAR) yet?

    I just stumbled across this from Google: http://www.issc-austria.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=4&Itemid=4 Apparently it's a 22LR SCAR imitation that's all metal, weighs 7.5 lbs, and has been on the market since January of this year. Bud's has them for $470...

    Anyone else shooting CMMG's dedicated 22LR AR upper?

    If so what's your experience with it? A review was surprisingly hard to find, Google just turns up a bunch of people writing and making youtube videos about CMMG's conversion bolt for 5.56 uppers. I'm pretty happy with mine. I got the one they make with the low profile front sight block...

    First Appleseed for me

    I'm sure pretty much everyone here has heard of Appleseed and I'm probably only the 100th some person to post about their experience there, but here goes anyways. I'd heard them mentioned on here and read the NY Times article (http://www.nytimes.com/2010/08/01/magazine/01Appleseed-t.html)...

    Idle curiousity question on black market guns

    Some are always insisting that we need mandatory reporting of stolen guns, safe storage laws, etc. because guns end up in violent criminals hands from the black market and that the way they ended up on the black market was through theft of a legally owned gun. I'm thinking that more than a...

    Giving the nutnfancy thing a try again (the range, not the narration)

    Tried this a couple months ago: http://thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=515872&highlight=nutnfancy It was fun and if you can make the course long enough it's actually decent exercise too. I just got back to the states and hadn't been to the range in 4 months or so, so I was taking it a...

    Two questions about AK74

    Just got an AK74 from Center Fire Systems with 3 mags and free shipping for $370. Just checking their site again, it's $400 but comes with 4 mags and a bayonet as they're selling it now (http://www.centerfiresystems.com/akagun74.aspx). I really liked the price of 5.45x39 vs the price of...

    Anybody know a rough number of how many conceal carry permit holders there are?

    The VPC is declaring that a permit holder just murdered 4 people in FL (http://www.vpc.org/press/1006fl.htm) and that this crime brings the number of people killed by permit holders to 170 since May 2007. Now, assuming you believe their number, this is the math I get roughly 13,000 murders a...

    Picture thread for non AR or AK "tactical" rifles

    It occurred to me that you see AR or AK picture threads on here pretty regularly, so why not one for the other "tactical" rifles? Everything from M1 Garands to FS2000s welcome! Springfield NM M1A & M1 Garand Sig 556 (SWAT Patrol model)

    Something I was wondering about while bored

    Out of idle curiosity, back during the 94 to 04 Federal AWB and I guess currently in CA and some other states, how do you buy your own Pmags/H&K mags/whatever you prefer if you're in the military? I mean, I assume you can't just go down to the nearest gun store and pick up $15 Pmags like many...

    Gave the nutnfancy thing a try (the range, not the naration)

    Well, here's two videos from yesterday. Thought I'd give the nutnfancy thing a try while I was on a range I could do such shooting at. No, that's not a 5.11 tactical polo shirt I'm wearing, it's a cheap Walmart one. Yes, I got the MOLLE vest and mag pouches free from work. And yes, those are ACU...

    Question about cheap type of 5.56

    I ran into a guy at the surplus and bulk ammo store the other day who was on his way out with a big crate of 5.45x39. He told me to check out centerfiresystems.com, which is where he'd bought his AK. I was just on the site and was thrilled to see M14 mags for way less than $30 a pop. Also...

    Question concerning proposed AWB in WA

    Just saw this pop up: http://www.examiner.com/x-28446-Tacoma-Independent-Examiner~y2009m12d17-Gun-Control--Washington-lawmakers-to-propose-assault-weapon-ban. Does this thing have any chance of passing? I tried searching for a previous thread on this, but came up empty.

    Favorite semi-auto carbine round

    In the spirit of polls, here's one I didn't find in the Search function. Pick your favorite caliber in a semi-auto carbine. I left out the 30-06 and 30 carbine, but I guess those could go under other. Optional: post your favorite rifle that shoots your favorite caliber, pics welcome.

    Question about scopes sold at Walmart

    I saw this: http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=13143014 in Walmart today for 40 something dollars while I was picking up some more 22LR (they had some in stock :D). I was just wondering if anyone on here has experience with this brand. Obviously, it won't be as rugged as an...

    Question about getting a CCP in GA or SC

    I'm going to be in Georgia for 3 and half months starting in a week. I'll be in Agusta, just a few miles across the border from SC. I'm still a legal resident of SC. My point is, I plan on bringing my Sig 1911 in a lockbox with me and seeing about getting a CCP from GA and/or SC (since my CCP...
