    Bloomberg's at it again. I'd suggest we circle the wagons.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T8gyEjToC1M Bloomberg's cranking his "Common sense" Gun Control Campaign again (Not that he ever stopped) with the usual suspects involved. It's all about emotion and disarming more honest, law abiding folks. So I'm not waiting for the postman to drop the usual...

    New law in Georgia - VERY interesting and encouraging

    Great link, especially since it doesn't take effect until July 2014.

    OK, boys, time to set a new bar for your shooting skills

    Only for a little while. I'll stick with a .308 round versus the .338 round.... up to 1,000 Meters. Less recoil and ouch involved, with more time staying on target through the shot. A 30-06 can out perform the .308 but still has recoil a beginner can handle.

    New law in Georgia - VERY interesting and encouraging

    Good deal. I make a few trips through Georgia from SC but have a Utah CFP, no problem. I noted the usual laments from the opposition and the writers closed their article with the "We will fight the NRA with Common Sense." link. Which led to Michael Bloomberg's Propaganda on his "new" efforts...

    Beautiful shooting. I love that long wait and the gong getting rung. Thanks for the video.

    Firearms International Corporation .410 gauge shotgun

    Absolutely minimal, no frills. "for the man who care more about how his gun works, than it looks." was one of the comments of critics at that time. I'm probably going to wimp out and pad that butt when she gets a range trip. She's no 12 gauge but I read some comments made by folks who fired a...

    Firearms International Corporation .410 gauge shotgun

    I remember seeing ads for wire or rifles with tubular, skeletal rods for frames. Firearms International Corporation or the designer was probably inspired by Hamilton's Design and other survival rifles built during WWII. a Google Search for FIC Bronco 410 Gauge Shotgun brings up a couple of...

    Firearms International Corporation .410 gauge shotgun

    This shot gun is marked as a Firearms International Corporation Washington D.C. 20022. It’s a single shot, with a wire-skeleton stock. It fires a single 3” .410 gauge shot round. Legend says that they were zinc die cast pot metal casings with a rod stock insert. They were imported from Italy or...

    Terminology police!

    I've into loads od new comers over the years who think that magazines are something to be read. Confuse Bruce Hornsby with Hornady and would easily confuse a safe with a lock box. But it's all in good fun.

    Agreed. He's trying to get his money back and that's not going to happen.

    The need to change things in your gun?

    I'm not a big fan of making modifications to concealed carry weapons beyond a grip sleeve or CT Laser. I've polished a few up actions up or had it done. But if some newbie wants to start cranking a trigger pull down to 2-3lbs that nuts and could be fatal. (Think: Desert Eagle, 50 cal.) I...

    Terminology police!

    LOL..... Caveat Emptor (Let the Buyer Beware) is an old Latin phrase I keep in mind when it comes to spending bucks on used firearms. I've done a few private sales but with people I really know. The idea of meeting some guy anywhere, with cash in hand just doesn't have any appeal. There's been a...

    Ruger Ranch Rifle .223 Caliber

    Thanks..... Definitely a range trip coming up to either a 25 yard indoor or a 200-300 yard located out in the country. I want to see how this dark, sinister looking, Lady Rocks, preferably at some long distance.

    Ruger Ranch Rifle .223 Caliber

    Ruger Ranch Rifle .223 Caliber is what is stamped on the rifle. Back in 2009 Ruger New Mini 14 Range Rifles began to be roll marked with Mini Thirty. This one was made in 2009, with a SN 581-197XX stamped on it. She’s packing a Bushnell Sportsman 4x32 Rifle Scope. The Matte Multi-X72-1403...

    Known sources for ammunition - Availability Board

    I was out making the rounds today and ran into an Older Guy who was buying a Ruger LCP. He had a few questions so I gave him a few tips on breaking her in. I also picked up another box of 100 each CCI Mini-Mags. They’re 40 grains, copper plated, which my 22LRs prefer. I also scored another box...

    Got Glock?

    Well he's standing there with a wound in his leg and probably in a state of shock, so I'd tend to understand his confusion. Based upon what the Talking Heads had to say Glocks and Drawstrings don't go together well. It's apparently not the first time he's had problems, and fortunately no one...
