The USA is present in Syria as an aggressor without Congressional approval, UN approval, or implicit permissions through International Law. Russia is in Syria with explicit permission from the popular leader of the sovereign nation, Assad. Yet the USA feels it's role there is not only...
It is prophesied that Damascus will be obliterated, never again to be inhabited. Ummm, wondering if that will occur in October or November of this year. Bets?
I did show this to her. Her response...."OOOhhh, I like the color." After a short pause, "I would like it much better if it were not a gun though." I tried.
That's an interesting comparison between 870 and 500 I have not heard. Short stroking seems to be a common error, maybe the 870 would be a better learner SG so the shooter learns to use better forend grip and focuses on making a full slide with the action?
The one showing her midriff is named Mary Anna....she is the one who lobbied for the islands to be named after a hot young lady. they accepted her suggestion, and added a French twist....Mariana....now you know the whole story

Ignore the source and read the article, a great recap and update regarding the boiling situation in Syria. This is...
I knew I was in for it when I posed that question. I asked myself "If full auto were legal, would I get one?" I answered to myself "Self, I cannot really see any reason for the expense, other than to shoot many holes into some target, rapidly and somewhat inaccurately. Why not skip this one...
If full autos were legal, why would anyone need one?
I was about to edit that question, changing the word need, but I'll let it stand.
How about need, want, or have practical use for?
That's actually a very good comparison to highlight the true effect of the troublesome coriolis force on trajectory of a missle, even one as small as a a 223 bullet. Did you know most all military weaponry which utilizes missiles, small and large, takes into account that force? Also, I am sure...
I may be wrong, but I read somewhere that the slide fire system caused a lot of ruckus at ATF when it first appeared. Every one scrambled to re-check and re-confirm their definitions. Simulating a machine gun is about the same as being a machine gun, if you ignore the definition, which is...
Brings up the discussion of the fine line separating the meaning of full auto vs semi auto. One function of the trigger is full auto, but a legal device which allows a semi-auto to burp out 600-900 rds per minute is not? Methinks the dudes at ATF may be under pressure to re-evaluate their...

After your post I remembered about 4 yrs ago I had purchased 6 of these models from an estate closing, and 2 of them did seem to have a problem with the lever snapping locked completely, leaving some space between the lever stop and the lever itself. The other four closed snugly against the...
Don't know if this can be classified as a "bad" experience, but S&W had a recall (among many recalls) which dealt with replacing the hammer nose and bushing on the model 681. This 357 mag revolver was produced with a hammer nose bushing that allowed primer gases to backgas through the bushing...
That's a great write-up. I never would have expected that of the model 66. Marlin, maybe, although I have heard one or two other minor issues with the camp 9. Isn't that the one with a buffer issue?
Erratic brass flipping seems to be a common complaint. Seems the smaller the pistol, the farther and more erratic the brass flips. You could almost say the pistol is over-compensating for it's small size, just like a small punk would do. My PF9 also was a brass flipper. The guy in the next bay...
I'm still trying to convince my lady she should learn at least the basics, and have at least a small auto in her purse when she goes out at night sometimes to shop. She tells me she grew up in a home that left doors unlocked at night, and has never been in the slightest fear of anyone, even...
I like the fact that women are pushing up the numbers. Mainly because most women are or will be involved in bringing up children, and will not fall for the crap people like Shallow Witts are trying to peddle via Moms Demand Action. Once again Shallow Witts lives up to her name. When women get...
I'd like to start a thread which has a topic I've not seen anywhere before. It may fall flat or it may soar high. So be it. This thread will deal with negative comments about firearms you have had a bad experience with. No made-up stories, no below-the-belt-punches, just REAL ACTUAL negative...
Absolutely. Too many metal guns, your shooting may be off by as much as .0000457%. Not insignificant when shooting competition. try to avoid shooting around metal guns. And leave that cowboy belt buckle at home. According to the anal engineer at my range, your shooting will improve.
OK, granted. But try shooting the same gun/bullet combo in the southern hemisphere, only change being twist from RH to LH, in westerly direction at about 72.89 degrees F, and notice the difference.
My gun range buddy (seemingly at first judgment not the brightest candle in the room) and I were having a conversation about whether RH or LH rifling twist is better for a 4" handgun barrel. I told him my revolver had RH twist, and shoots accurately. He opines "get LH twist next time and...
Excuse my lack of knowledge in the area of import regulations. I do not handle any sales which involve this kind of rifle. Does a buyer/seller still have to be concerned with 922r regs, or are the imports modified to compliance before distribution to wholesalers and others? Or do the regs just...
No budget, just buy what I need, which is range ammo only. Very frugal guy here, although I am a bit heavy on the number of handguns I own. When I buy a new one, an old one gets sold. Even keel. No budget busting. Took a while to get there. My business is another matter, but I assume we are...
I have eyesight that has gotten worse year by year. At the range, I always shoot without my script glasses (just clear safety glasses). I do this because I feel that if I ever need to shoot in an HD emergency, chances are it will be in low light and without my glasses. I focus on the target...
So, are you willing to state simply that you support getting rid of the present BGC system and replacing it with nothing, and if so, what possible consequences can you guess would follow from that? I would like the readers of this thread to chime in here and offer just some brief comments on...
Cooolone....so are you willing to state in your next post here that you support getting rid of the present BGC system and replace it with nothing>If so, what consequences can you guess could possibly follow from that?
Partly true, and if you developed your point of view, you may have a very strong argument. However, the fact remains that a good number of undesirables have been prevented from obtaining firearms. I have no problem with that part of the system's results. The abuses I have a problem with, but...
I agree somewhat. There is a thin line between total freedom and chaos. That's how "restrictions" were born. "but it's no place for the gov't to be" tells me that you would not allow any form of authority to referee the inevitable chaos. Won't work that way. You see your freedom to decide who...
