Guns & Outdoors Forum

Interesting. . . Plainclothes carry gun for Air Force cops? Were the Allen head grips screws part of the USAF job or something that came to the gun later? Were they buying mags or chopping them in-house? Bobbed hammer on an SAO gun? Wouldn't be a snag issue carrying cocked & locked. Were you guy...

Love child of a Colt Mustang and a S&W Bodyguard 2.0?

Got burned with a cheap Hungarian clone from FEG/KBI purchased in the early '90's that did not work and never could get corrected. Trying to get it corrected got me acquainted with what goes on inside that gun, which pretty well burned me on Hi Powers. It's engineering that inspires a lot of "W...

NICE! That looks and sounds like a carbon copy of the shot I made on my 2014 buck - in at the back of the right side rib cage; out just behind the left side shoulder. He was bedded down in the cold at the start of a snow storm when I spotted him, stood up to boogie, got shot, and tried to go uphill ...

Thazza lotta orbitz!

Happy birthday Jay!

I’ve noticed the progression over the years and variations of the forum, that we have fewer and fewer hunters left. We have our fair share of old school gun collectors, modern gun tinkerers, and general shootists. But, hunters……seem to be a dying breed. How many we got left? Pipe up! Headed up the ...

Wrong.

The proper number of .22's to own is correctly defined as "obscene".

.22 purchases, as explained by Bill Watterson:

I'm not good with the hand out, I'd rather the money be used for the national debt. Like others have said, "They're all doing it". 5k would sure help with my wife's and my hearing aids which aren't covered in Medicare or any other program. So how is the Catholic Church different from the ...

I think there's only one answer to this:
It brings an interesting wrinkle to the overall narrative: when the oral arguments begin in the Viramontes/Grant case on December 2, we'll be arguing that we need AR-15's in order to defend our BB guns.

Does anyone know the history of how the Republicans got to be "Red" when it's the Democrats that lean communist?

It's your beverage. Drink how you want to.

But as always, I'm looking at ANYTHING that will give me an edge. The current fad seems to be round count and any way to get them out of the barrel faster. OK, that's fine, but as with all things that tend to get overworked, we want to ask the question "What is this tool actually FOR?", a...

It’s not Glock. My Glock go bang. But not by self! Glock Gooood! I award you the 60 foot polished granite Monument of Truth. :lol: Fun thing about patents: they protect the few Really Good Ideas and force others to come up with marketing justifications for why their Less Good Attempts at Non-Infrin...

Look everybody! Sig made a Springfield Echelon! :lol: I'm curious to see what that trigger safety is actually doing. All the pics I've seen seem to indicate it sits flush, and the GHAAAAAY dramatic music video on their website doesn't tell much. Not real eager to shop for a product from a company th...

I tell myself the high gas prices are payment for gun rights being restored/expanded. Not keeping the sand people from having nuke you lur weapons, because they were going to have those in the next few months for the last 30 years, which didn’t happen. Why do I say that? It’s midterms. People are p...

I'm no expert on the things, but I've stayed in their Holiday Inn Express. There are basic sub-categories. The 48 was, as I said, a right-side-of-receiver series for Mauser-family rifles. You'd have a letter suffix after that number 48 to denote which particular branch of the family it would fit on....

Sorry Clinton (and CNN) - It's NOT about the economy stupid!

Yeah. . .that's one to watch, as it will effectively wipe out state bans, rosters, etc..., with regards to acquisition.

Federal DOJ also taking a stab against the ban on handgun purchases by 18 to 20 year olds: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uh8WbVRzeqo

It's worth digging into the current rules for the particular club you plan to play in. The time of my dabbling (2010-2015-ish) was RIGHT before the NRA rule change to allow a much wider selection of service handguns. Prior to that (and what I had Colt reconstitute my Series 80 Gold Cup for) you had ...

Marie in Loaf Mode.jpg The deaf sister Marie in what I refer to as "Full Loaf Mode". The vet staff we adopted her from probably named her for the Disney Aristocats character, but since she has cobalt, radioactive blue eyes, we went with Marie Curie. Her brother has similarly tritium, radi...

You only have half a sight. All you have there is what's called the slide assembly. The dovetail with the deer logo and elevations marks on it inserts into the base which is bolted to the rifle's receiver. The base will contain a push-button quick-release that engages on the threaded elevation stalk...

You have actually just made this REALLY easy for me. I have a SA TRP in .45 tucked away... a quick perusing online shows some Novak cut adjustable sight options (no dots for CMP pistol, yet)... Looks like I can be off to the races with $150 investment in a new sight! Arguably, maybe not even that. ...

Cat pics? I can do cat pics! Geiger Couch 1.jpeg Geiger! Was at the vet picking up meds for one of the other cats when this guy pawed at me from inside the "rescue kitten display" cage. Pulled him out and he immediately flipped himself over into "baby mode" in my arms, which he s...
