I don't think that's the issue. The issue is having spent a lifetime with many other similar guns that don't have them. I think making them all the same is safer.

I remember when President Reagan sent a bunch of Marines and Navy ships down to Grenada. The Island was under seige by a ruthless band of tyrants who hoped to take over this Island and it's govt. The US had quite a few students down there going to school. I don't remember all the particulars, but I...

Seems like it would be an easy and responsible thing to do to spend at least a token several moments becoming familiar with the operation of your firearm before you use it, lawyer-safety or no. I believe that this is one of the basic tenets of firearms safety. Whether you make the choice to alter yo...

While I personally find the activity destestable, and barely understand the basis for protest, it is just such activity by U.S. citizens that the U.S. military, the Marine Corps included, exists to defend.

I don't trust McCain.

I believe that he will betray the Constitution and the American people to our enemies.

Under President McCain, America will take a giant leap toward becoming just another prison camp.

By definition, a rebate is a return of part of an original payment that was made. How can people who don't make enough to even pay taxes get a "rebate" while those who pay more taxes than anyone get nothing? It is outright folly to believe that those who earn the least can move the economy...

Don't worry guys, everything is cyclical.

My 12 yo son is doing a research paper on why the 50 cal rifle SHOULD BE legal. The 2nd Amendment is not about justifying arms for sporting purposes.

Is your front post dove-tailed onto the barrel or onto a screw-on ramp? Mine was on a screw-on ramp, and the XS ramp just replaces that whole Marlin front-sight assembly. FYI, XS does make front posts that dovetail directly onto the barrel, but in my experience they usually supply those with the W94...

Well that is a great story and the rifle is a great treasure. That the fight took place with the recorded outcome is beyond dispute. It sounds to me, like the rifle could very well have been used.

I've still got a couple of the "special purpose" super accurate bolt-action death-beams in the closet, but the plain fact is that while they are excellent firearms, they just aren't "personable". A bolt action gun is a gun that does a defined job and then gets put back in storage...
