    Washington Post article on the destructiveness of the AR-15

    What is the point of keeping stupid fucking liberals alive? I Mean seriously, humanity would be so much happier and more productive if they were all dead. Dumb deluded fucks, they all deserve to die.

    Polls showing Trump will win

    Polls don't mean anything anymore, they don't account for ballot harvesting or more outright forms of fuckery. However I have heard an interesting theory that Trump might be making arrangements with the deep state. Biden's disastrous, non-functional administration* has bitten the hand that...

    Several Bronx men arrested for illegally possessing a loaded handgun in a vehicle following a traffic stop on the Thruway.

    "I don't consent to searches" Then call a lawyer, maybe you get lucky and that lawyer can convince the court the cops didn't have probable cause for the search. Then the relevant evidence gets thrown out along with the charges.

    F/S Parrot Vise

    Is this a general purpose vise or is it for a specific use? I am moving soon and am looking to set up a little workshop in the new place and I could use a good vise for basic gunsmithing.

    Rounds of choice for home defense

    I got to shoot a buddy's Berretta 1301 yesterday. A magnificent gun, I want one very badly now. It was so light and handy I think it would make a fantastic home defense gun, to me it felt similar in weight to a lightly equipped AR. Bit of a shoulder thumper yet not obnoxiously so. What do we...

    Rounds of choice for home defense

    There will be variances of course but the typical 00 buckshot pellet is .33" diameter, around 53gr in weight moving at around 1,150 fps in a typical 2 3/4oz load. This means a single pellet has about 155ft-lbs of energy at the muzzle. This closely compares to a .32ACP. If each pellet in a 9...

    Rounds of choice for home defense

    I read a short article once warning people that select a 20 guage for defensive use to then not go out and pick the heaviest, nastiest 20ga load they can find whose payload and velocity exceed the typical 12ga load and defeating the purpose of using a 20ga in the first place. I thought it was...

    Rounds of choice for home defense

    Well, 00 buck when fired at close range absolutely can tear straight through a human but the chance the shot actually continues on to hit something else sensitive, and with enough energy to do meaningfully damage, is probably vanishingly low. In the event of a complete miss tge smaller the shot...

    Rounds of choice for home defense

    Ah, yes shotgun loads.......... well I know a lot of LE agencies both local and federal favor #1 buck and I've often read that #1 is optimal for defense as it has similar penetration to 00 yet with more pellets. #1 buck loads don't seem to be commonly available though for some reason. #4 bucks...

    BIDEN TELLS ISRAEL THE USA WILL NOT BACK A COUNTERATTACK

    I think it's actually worse than that. I think Biden is genuinely suffering from dementia and that in his deluded state he believes he is the one running the circus. The bigger worry is that I don't belive that Biden has a group of shadowy handlers directing things but rather this...

    BIDEN TELLS ISRAEL THE USA WILL NOT BACK A COUNTERATTACK

    As utterly appalling as that whole situation is and as terrifying the prospect is that we get sacked into this, I derive grim satisfaction from the no win situation Biden is in here, no matter what his play is he is totally screwed.

    What is the most powerful, commonly available, short action cartridge?

    I can't recall the specifics nor the names of the guy but I do remember reading that a fellow went to Winchester with a series of cartridge designs that were extremely similar if not identical to what would become the WSSM cartridges with in the hope that Winchester would adopt and produce them...

    What is the most powerful, commonly available, short action cartridge?

    I thought the WSSMs were all defunct due to a lawsuit? In any the 3 WSSM cartridges I'm familiar with (I did research prior to posting this thread) merely duplicate longer cartridges. The .223 WSSM is equivalent to the .220 Swift, the .243 WSSM is equivalent to the .243 Winchester and the .25...

    What is the most powerful, commonly available, short action cartridge?

    Any of the Winchester Short Magnums fit in a short action znd they are all proper magnum cartridges, equalling their longer cousins. I'm wondering if there is a rifle cartridge that sits between, say the .325 WSM and the very boutique .475 Bishop. I'm just curious as I am not a hunter, if I...

    What is the most powerful, commonly available, short action cartridge?

    I say commonly available as the most powerful short action round full stop 8s the .475 Bishop which throws a 390gr pill @ 2,500 fps. I want to know is what's the most powerful short action that you could find in a reasonably well stocked gun shop? One of the Winchester Short Magnums? 375 Ruger...

    Finally addressed the baffling lack of a .22 pistol in my small collection.

    Now that my Mk IV is all sorted and running well I finally invested in some additional mags, 3 more for a total of 5 (one box worth of .22 I figured) some brass follower buttons to hopefully alleviate to godawful gitty feel of the things and 9ne of them fancy clipazine speed loaders.

    I successfully installed the trigger kit. It was a large pain in the anus. The trigger feels fantastic however, also like not having a magazine safety.

    Observations on current production P226 Elite

    I have the Legion soft case if you want it. And the coin might be in there too. I'll check when I get home. I had a Made in West Germany marked 226 once with the old I dot sights, which I liked, and that was a very nice example of a p226. I liked my Legion too but had to sell it to raise some...

    Observations on current production P226 Elite

    Well, again, I owned a DA/SA Legion and I do regret selling it. The G10 grips were fantastic but I would be putting some nicely checkered wood grips on the Elite so no advantage there. The Legion trigger isn't anything special either. The trigger bow itself is from Grey Guns but the...

    Need recommendation for good rimfire scope.

    It will be for a Ruger 10/22 Target Lite model. Use case is target shooting at 50 and 100 yards. I would like a 10x magnification up top and something not too bulky or heavy as the idea is to have a rifle that isn't too heavy for offhand shooting. Budget is around $400 but I'd consider...

    Finally addressed the baffling lack of a .22 pistol in my small collection.

    The Volquartsen bolt did indeed do the trick. The Ruger runs like a raped grape ape now. Went through a brick of ammo and other than 3 failures to fire, which I figure to be due to typical rimfire hijinks, it cycled flawlessly. Ammo used was some old federal gameshocks and a few boxes of GECO.

    Proper gun terminology in a news report

    Is there a more beautiful wood for grips than rosewood? They feel wonderful in the hand too, an improvement over the slim style factory grips. Altamont is selling these for peanuts, if you catch them in the middle of a production run that is.

    I ordered the Competition bolt from Volquartsen. They had a a clearance on new stock of an older version for a $100 discount so I got that, it's the black DLC version though, no pimpin' gold for the Ruger now. The trigger kit is out of stock at tge moment however so I'll get back to that...
