    Things are heating up in the Donbass

    The only thing that will prevent Ukraine from prevailing in their unasked for mess is if the rest of the world abandons them. Especially if the "push comes to shove" moment arises. If the rest of the world had provided access to the tools they needed prior to the invasion this whole debacle...

    Things are heating up in the Donbass

    I have been following this thread since it's beginning. I sense some " my Father can beat up your Father" going on . Your response to my only post in the thread makes me wonder if a nerve was struck. Maybe one Dad is not as capable as His little boy thought. I guess time will tell.

    Things are heating up in the Donbass

    Who were the "idiots" that played with fire when they placed an enormous military operation on Ukraines border and then proceeded to invade? Looks like the invader has paid an unexpected premium in the "price" of that decision. Lots of talk here about fake news, propaganda etc. I find it...

    Double barrel sawed off vs Shockwave?

    Interesting thing comparing the double barrel to the shockwave. You get over two more inches in barrel length with the double barrel while staying at nearly the same overall length. ( only a half in longer ) Actually the double has enough area on the stock to have another half inch removed and...

    Double barrel sawed off vs Shockwave?

    Yes something like that. However what remains of the stock has more shape / curves that seem to fit my hand better and lend more of a secure grip and comfort. I texted the owner and got a photo. See post #10 above. Edit: I do have large hands. Not fat or meaty but my hands are quite wide...

    Double barrel sawed off vs Shockwave?

    I found out the gun is a Savage made model 511. Also designated "Springfield" 511 I think the major difference between what I held and the shockwave is that the shape of the original 511 stock has more shape to it. Where it is cut off is just rearward of where the upper and lower curve occurs...

    Double barrel sawed off vs Shockwave?

    The gun in question has a barrel over 18 inches in length. nd an over all length of 27 inches. So, does the quoted Info apply to this weapon?

    Double barrel sawed off vs Shockwave?

    Kev74 Barrel is 1 3/4 inch longer than what I saw. Also overall length is much beyond what I saw. I am probably just bored. I have no new firearms needs and the shot gun I held just looked and felt unique. Plus it was simple and I like that. Just A simple break action with two shots. It just...

    Double barrel sawed off vs Shockwave?

    I hear you on the pistol grips. That is nt what I am saying this shortened original stock is. I own a 590 A1 with 18.5 inch barrel and like it a lot with the factory stock so I am not trying to replace that. BUT, I had been giving a casual look at the shock Wave because of its compactness for...

    Constitutional Carry

    LOL, Gotta love AZ when it comes to firearms. I was carrying legally in AZ over 10 years ago. Gun laws have always been crazy. I spent a lot of time in AZ, but was physically parked just across the Colorado River in CA. So if I was really concerned about remaining legal, ( not terribly often...

    That certainly would be nice. However, back when there were fewer States moving toward Constitutional carry seems I read that it was for residents of that State only. Hope I am wrong.

    Anyone know if there is a place or site that will show how many of these 22 States apply the law to non residents? I am guessing that it applies to residents of the State in at least some of them.
