Howard Leight Impactâ„¢ Sport Earmuff - $59 Cabela's - best so far, in that they are a bit quieter as far as electronic hiss than the Peltor's I have - but my Peltor's are 10-15 years old, and very well made also. I think the Peltor 's use N and the Leight's use AA, but you literally will replace t...

If I had a daughter and some dude was abusive to her in any way. I'd probably be hauled away in handcuffs in no time flat. Men who beat women are half a notch above child molesters on the totem pole of scumbaggery. Not casting stones, and my comment is intended to be contemplated outside the realm ...

For sport.... :twisted: ...don't forget mice, rats, and BUGS! I used to blast rats at an open trash dump as a kid - LOVED it when they'd scurry behind an old ceramic toilet or sink. The 10/22 seemed like a Ma Deuce shattering an enemy bunker to me as a 12 year old kid. No more dumps like that around...

The "10-2=0" I like - it reminds me of the Christian 'fish' symbol - something not too flashy, but to those in the know it would mean 'fellow pro-gunner' and to those not in the know, maybe they'd ask and we could educate them. Might be a tad less intimidating to the non-gun crowd than wea...

Not to worry - all the LEO's were 'just doing their job' - they'd never go door to door confiscating people's guns - they'd quit first.

Yeah, right...

Kicking in the door of Joe deer hunter at 3 am doesn't look good. Yes, but when the news media reports it, 'Joe Deer Hunter' is simply renamed 'a suspected terrorist/arms dealer/drug dealer/baby killer/wife beater/spotted owl killer' and nobody outside the guy's circle of friends thinks much about ...

My breakopen one was a disappointment in that the 45 LC rounds have so much 'jump' to get to the rifling that I get 8" 5-shot groups at 25 yards OFF THE BENCH! I think I can throw rocks about that well. I've thought about reloading metal .410 shells or even just trying .454 Casull rounds in it,...

While others may disagree with me, I don't think the armed citizen poses much of a military threat to the governemnt. We have rifles, they have cluster bombs and Apache Helicopters. Keep in mind that tyranny and oppression do NOT usually involve the military type weapons, because unlike wars betwee...

Very old bullets I see now and then will have a white powdery coating which I can only assume is lead oxide of some sort, and thus would be rather toxic (unlike metallic lead, which despite media hype, is NOT a problem). I passed on a chance to buy really cheap 1,500 otherwise fine cast bullets due ...

If you can't account for a firearm that they have a record of you purchasing, the confiscating agency will MAKE you accountable. They will arrest, imprison, and interrogate you if you do not produce every article that they have paper or electronic records on. They may arrest, imprison and interroga...

NRA won the injunction, but the City's mayor and Board of Supervisors ignored the court order and approved a set of penalties

Too bad THEY won't get fined and prosecuted, the same way they wanted to do others.

AJMD429

They probably aren't going to just politely knock on doors and ask for firearms. Generally, they first register them on some lame pretext ('fighting crime' is hard to argue with, or 'protecting children' or whatever). Next, they license certain ones, again for some seemingly noble reason. Like the p...

I always thought the best "warranty" service for most guys would be a toll-free number where when you dial in, instead of asking a bunch of questions and you having to return the product and wait, they just asked you what kind of ammunition you needed, and sent you a box so you could take ...

How about you reword your flippant comments to read, â€œHere is the reason I donâ€™t like THIS PARTICULAR SWAT team. You are not being fair to SWAT officers that put their lives on the line. Good point - I don't mean to offend the 90% who are truly men and women of integrity, but with most other ca...

Lyndon Johnson said something like "You do not examine legislation in the light of how it would be administered by an honest government acting in good faith, but rather how it would be administered by a corrupt, dishonest one." THAT is the real potential problem - the future unintended con...

Evidently not the LAST Republican we elected as the 'lesser of two evils' - sure, he didn't enact the worst bill possible, but like usual, a 'moderate' Republican allows the camel's nose under the tent. It's not always the 'intent' or the way a law will be enforced by honest government, that you sho...

"I'd say buy whichever stainless Marlin you want, have it beadblasted, put a Williams receiver sight on it, and enjoy it. Sooner or later, get a tuned M92. " If you like the .357 Marlin, and want stainless, consider Ro-bar or some sort of similar finishing. .357 vs. .44 is also a little l...

Sounds like a 32-20 to me also. I remember when I was in 9th or 10th grade walking into my principal's office with my .32-20 "high capacity" lever action rifle, and asking if he would keep it in the office safe for me during afternoon classes. (I'd picked it up from the gun shop over lunch...

I'm on my way out the door to instruct a womens self defense course to nurses that treat homebound patients. Most of them have been groped by some elderly, but still frisky, males. The danger is that predators learn to pattern the nurses visits and then they have them already trapped in a house. Po...

Right now, my Stainless 20" Marlin 44 Magnum with Williams Peep mounted in the forward scope mount holes, and a nylon quick-adjust sling, and Winchester 240 SP factory loads. I'd like to try the .357 with stiff loads though, or one of the 357 Special Magnum conversions (http://ammoguide.com/?ca...

We occasionally have them around in groups, and one time I went back to the place they were hanging out and just lay down. After maybe 30 minutes, they started soaring (they had been mostly sitting in a dead tree with one sometimes fluttering around some). Two or three came my way, and I was just cu...

We finally got to the point where we have the KIDS do the decorating - starting when the oldest was about 12, they knew how to do all the basics; our only 'lights' are on the tree and around the livingroom on nails already there, so no 'electric' stuff a kid couldn't handle. They LOVE doing it. We j...

I remember in that same time frame the old pull-tabs people would join into 'chains' and it was a tacky dorm-room thing for those of us who consumed lots of beer. A decade later, my wife and I moved into an older apartment building, with most of the tenants classy older people. Our neighbor across t...

I know...there's a million (or more :D ) Marlins out there that have never had an ejector failure. But...mine failed and locked the rifle's action up when it did. It wasn't in a hunting situation, but it ruined an afternoon of shooting just the same. It failed like I imagine most of them fail...whi...

Ethical Defense (self or national) is derived from a moral imperative: "No human being has the right, under ANY circumstances, to initiate force against another human being, nor to advocate or delegate its initiation." I agree. People made fun of Reagan's "star wars" defense con...

Got my first .22 around age five (single shot), and my first "semiautomatic assault weapon" (Ruger 10/22) around age 12. Next gun was a Mark I, then Super-Blackhawk, then M-77 bolt gun in 6mm. Then off to college. Got my first BB gun at age 32, to shoot (seriously!) walnuts off the tree we...

You can lead horses to water, but it hard as heck to drown them... Perhaps you could get more people to at least NOTICE the stickies if you made the "titles" in either a huge font , or bright red letters , or something? Just trying to think of things you could maybe do without too much tro...

A pistol made on a 10/22 receiver. They want the police market. Shoulda' figured that out when they supported the ten round mag law. Ruger and Colt both supported bans on normal capacity magazines - I think in both cases it was because a) competitors had come out with higher capacity magazines and ...

So far, my Taurus tang sights on my Rossi's have all (4) worked well enough to keep me in 4" at 100 yards. Maybe 50 .454 Casull rounds and 200 .44 Mag & .357 rounds per the various guns. They are all relatively new, purchased from Cheaper Than Dirt website if I recall. Seem tight and reason...

I'd suggest keeping to $5 per ticket, and selling no more than 20 tickets; just let me know when you're ready, and I'll buy $100 worth of tickets...!

Stopped at Cabela's in Wheeling WV and a used Marlin 39A was $450 - seemed a bit much, but I don't know what the 'new' price is.

AJMD429

Saw a Remington bolt gun (788) in 44 Magnum suppressed - THAT would be sweet - load the biggest slug you can get moving at maybe 900 fps and it would quietly whack whatever you wanted. The 788 is an accurate platform, too!

I agree though that a 1895 would be cool though!

Yep, seems like they have an excuse for any change in the weather - it's all Bush's/America's/Capitalism's fault . . . This is not to say we should treat our environment carelessly, but rather, destroying our economy and way of life is not going to help. Yep - just like fighting 'crime' and 'povert...

Over vacation saw a Discovery Channel show about how Alaska was a tropical forest some 50,000 years ago, then (cue the ominous, 'cold' music) some 10,000 years of extreme cold buried it all under thousands of feet of ice. OK so far. Then (shift to even more ominous music) it says "Now, this nat...

Most fights are over before 5 rounds are expended. But that does not mean much if you need more. If I were you, I would buy a Bianchi Speed Strip which will give you a quick reload without the necesity and bulk of carrying speed loaders. I agree with the SPEEDSTRIPS as better than round speedloader...

Another vote for the Commander or larger. The Officer's model I have is a Para P-12 so it is heavier and easier to hold than the other's I suppose, but is NOT 'fun' to shoot.

Looks just like one a friend of mine had and it DID pour out the bottom; the lever lifted up a rod that plugged a hole in the bottom. Worked good for four-cavity molds he used.

I have often thought it would be fun to hook up a BB gun to a air compressor - the kind used for air tools - and then shoot it full auto! :D They HAD one like that that used one pound cans of freon, in the 1960's (probably why we're all gonna die now from global warming :wink: ).

If you find it difficult to do there are inexpensive L-shaped plastic "reticle aligners" - that have one end that rests on an action flat or bolt rail and the other rises/superimposes in front of the reticle. Scope rotational alignment drives me nuts, and so many guns don't have a flat 'r...

I was fortunate enough to be reading "The Red Heart" when my mother passed, and it was the first book in 40 years I'd read that really showed to me the experience of a lifetime. Most 'biographies' are just lists of inventions or famous accomplishments; this book somehow for me said it all....

Geez...get with the modern times. Get him some video game, and some lame plastic toy that will wear out in 24 hours. How dare you actually give a gift that will last 100 years, and instill a sense of responsibility, intellectual curiosity, and passion. Those are qualities of days gone by.

The funny thing is, the socialists claim to be for the 'working poor' and yet the working poor and middle class I know ALL are anti-socialist. Most are Republican, because that's at least less of a 'statist, socialist' party right now than the Democrats. The only Democrats I see in great numbers ARE...
