"To make matters more infuriating, it turns out that the now-room-temp pair had previously robbed Stolarczyk. But Oneida County District Attorney Scott McNamara is...
I see the "fish in a barrel" target was made by Crosman. I recently learned that they were a corporation in Bloomfield. Never knew they were here in NY...don't tell FUAC.
I remember years ago a story about New Yorker who drove out to the new outlet stores in western Mass. I think it was in Lee, Ma. The tax people from Albany would go and record plate numbers. In MA no tax on clothes; but Albany still wanted its pound of flesh.
This type of activity has been going on for a long time, and targets more than just the wealthy, and more than those leaving the state. Chasing after tax dollars takes many forms. True, some are more egregious than others...but whatever it takes to get your wallet. FUAC. Lucifer.
I did think that too. You know, for cheap shotguns they did have a bit of elegance. The trigger guards are quite fancy as is the way the pistol grips are made. I wonder if these were blackpowder guns?
Thanks Highlander, I'll follow up on that. True enough, not really worth getting crazy with. But I've got plenty of sandpaper, some extra time to kill, a Mossberg I'm restoring at present etc....got to get some Oxpho Blue too.
Heck, for a couple of bucks, even for wall hanger decorations, and...
A friend has given me what use to be two shotguns. Two receivers with stocks attached. No barrels. Poking around, it seems they were made by Iver Johnson a long time ago. Very rusty and dirty, but both actions seem complete and both do work. Shame no barrels though. Anybody know a way to...
I just saw this story this morning, not quite sure what to make of it. But I will say this about Neverbright, he's a real piece of work. I don't know where these pols find the time away from real work to sit around and dream up solutions to problems that don't exist. Ever spend time on the...
I use WD-40 to clean the rubber weather stripping around the truck doors and windows. Gets all the oxidized gunk off and makes that stuff look like new.
I just bought my first can of Rem oil from my LGS, recommended by the owner who I've known for 20 years. He swears by it; we'll see. In the past I used whatever was on the shelf in garage, 3 in 1, 10w30, etc, and my personal favorite, chain saw bar oil. That stuff sticks. But all would get...
I am in total agreement with the above comment that it's not so much the idiot politician, it's the people who vote for them that are the real problem. Suckers for emotionally driven, pandering, foolishness. They are the truly ignorant.
Ah yes. As I perhaps poorly tried to allude, today it's more and more about perseption, the "I feel" psuedo reality that the true believers espouse. There's not enough money in the world to defend against total nonsense.
I read someplace online today about the ban, and there was a guess about how many semi autos there were in NZ, and one asshat who turned in his 762...308 I guess. Anyway, article then said only 37 firearms had actually been surrendered so far and that non compliance is where this is going...
Yeah, Fox used to be THE go-to for news. Last couple of years I get up early, feed the cat, make coffee, sit with my laptop, and browse a dozen sites for news. Some blogs are worthwhile too.
Then the wife gets up and reality sets in....
Fox is toast. No great loss. I have favorite folks that I follow...but not slavishly. Lou Dobbs. I followed O'reilly for years and years. Bill Curtis, don't know why, but always thought he was a good newscaster. I though Bill Bennett had a pretty radio show on AM.
I don't subscribe to the "save the patina" philosophy. Grunge is grunge. Yes, alcohol will remove shellac, mineral spirits can soften up varnish, acetone and lacquer thinner will damage lacquer, and so on. Neat rifle, I've a couple of old Mossbergs myself.
Murphy's sounds safe. But many old...
Speaking of GB...nope, did not buy a rifle. Did buy though, a Leupold 3x9x33 with an AO for 265 or so. If you're looking for a rimfire scope not a bad deal. No rifle, but got the scope!
No, not really. Actually, I have an account, but I've never done anything buying or selling. I had a rolling block I was going to list, but ended up selling locally (this is the cash burning a hole in my pocket).
Marlins are really affordable, maybe I can get two rifles! There sure are a lot of good choices, what a country!!! My 44US needed a a new trigger guard, a magazine, and the ejector. That done, I sold the peep sight and swivels, hand it drilled and tapped and put a scope mount on it. The bolt...
Yeah, CZ is looking good. If I went Browning I'd stick with a standard barrel. But people bitch about the trigger. I guess the problem is the gun is very light, and although the trigger is adjustable you can't get down light enough. There is a way to lighten it, but that can create other...
Mostly punching paper. I've got some woods, lots of oaks, and grey squirrels to harass. Having grown up with used rifles, it's nice now in my old age to be able to buy something new and exactly what I want. That T-Bolt really appeals to me...
Holy cow!
CZ, Savage (100+ models...are you kidding?), Marlin always come up. No T Bolts? Me, I can't do synthetic stocks. The 77/22 is appealing, but apparently new is 22 Hornet only...nope. Anschutz, sure, but $1,200 or so is ng. And, forged or button rifled?
Man, something with a...
Got a favorite? I've got an empty space on the rack that needs a 22 bolt gun. After browsing around, it seems there are plenty of rifles to choose from that are affordable, well made, and very accurate. I almost went for a Browning T Bolt, but folks complain about the trigger...and no good...
