    Gunbroker

    I'm not a store and I've sold a few on there. I've bought several also. I won't use anti-gun, meddling paypal so the buyers had to mail a USPS money order to me first, and they did! The guns I got, (one from a private seller, no store) were fine, or better than described. My new Hellcat RDP was...

    [Guide] First Time at the Shooting Range

    Outdoor ranges or in some farmer's meadow are my preferred shooting places. Indoor ranges are crowded, noisy and you don't know what psycho might be shooting there that day. Brass bouncing off the partitions, dim lighting and severe range officers all detract from the fun (I'd rather brave the...

    Recycling Brass for Cash

    I figured it might have been liability issues. You may be right since we need a permit to crack a fart.

    Recycling Brass for Cash

    At a local gun shop (years ago) they would sell reloaded ammo in plastic bags. The same shop would buy certain calibers of once fired brass off us. It must have been outlawed I guess, they don't seem to have any now and the brass is scrap. I think they paid about a nickel apiece for them. It...

    10MM Elite Range Day

    There were two wings, one that put a notch in his ear (+10 points) but the rest would be decisive with a 10. Nice shooting for a first outing with a new one. Bet that was fun!

    What is the Effective Range of 5.56mm ammo?

    I took more than a few groundhogs with a bolt action .223. I'd say it's a good cartridge for anything up to a coyote. At reasonable ranges for humane kills.

    What is the Effective Range of 5.56mm ammo?

    It's not a .22-250 either. Light bullets get blown off target by the wind more than heavier bullets. They carry much less energy down range as we all know. The army adopted the 5.56 for its effectiveness out to a couple hundred yards, light weight, low recoil and lower cost than the .308. Not...

    What is the Effective Range of 5.56mm ammo?

    I'd give it 400 yards on humans. It is still just a high velocity .22. If I was after humans at 4 or 500 yards I'd have a .308 with a bipod and a good scope.

    [How-To] Concealed Carry a Full-Size Gun

    That little lady in the denim jacket with that big pistol stuck in the front of her pants will never pass inspection. She's sporting quite a package there. Guys will be thinking, 'somethin ain't right here..' :LOL:

    Rittenhouse not guilty on all counts.

    If there weren't multiple videos showing what a solid case of self defense this was, that boy would be going away for life. Out in the dark, his word against the mob's, he'd lose for sure. He should send a thank you card to each and every videographer that night.

    Should You Shoot? Self-Defense Tips You Don’t Know

    They were the county sheriff's deputies. There were two, which meant they were expecting trouble. This was THE law enforcement I would have to deal with 51 years ago in that village. I was being kind when I called it a redneck neighborhood. It was (and is) a poor, under employed, infested with...

    Should You Shoot? Self-Defense Tips You Don’t Know

    That's why lawyers carefully vet the jury. With a few old dudes on the jury he'd probably be fine if his life was threatened. (around here, in a big city I couldn't say.)

    Should You Shoot? Self-Defense Tips You Don’t Know

    That was a rural area, no sidewalks or streetlights, way back then. Today? I wouldn't have done it.

    Road Tax per mile driven in new fed bill

    I don't believe passenger cars do much damage to the asphalt, and they are discussing paying out $450,000 per illegal immigrant that got separated from their kids. If the new tax only applies to EVs that would still be bullcrap, but if it applies to IC cars as well, it's total bullcrap...

    Should You Shoot? Self-Defense Tips You Don’t Know

    Laws and their enforcement change with the times, best to keep up with them. As a 16 year old home alone one Friday night (1970) in Ohio, a burglar broke a window in the garage and had gone inside. My dad kept an M1 carbine out (he loved it and messed with it all the time) so before going...

    Hospital’s Out Of Control

    I guess my credit rating would have to take a hit. No services rendered, no payment due. I got stiffed with a bill for $1245 for a 9 minute ambulance ride (I walked to the truck, sat on a gurney and they hit every pothole and curb tween here and there) that the paramedics told me was a 'soft'...

    New Gov't Program

    You can't beat them at their game, you can't re-write legislation, voting doesn't always work.. So you make fun of them. If there's one thing a tyrant can't abide, it's being laughed at.

    The Best SMG of WWII Was Italian? The Model 38A

    If I can't have a real Tommy gun, rat-a-tat-tat, I don't want a 12 pound carbine. The USG paid a good price for them back in WWII. It was either $325 or $425 apiece (I read somewhere.) In the early 1930s the Thompson ads recommended them for farmers for pest control! I feel sorry for the...
