"If it were legal..." was the OP question. Probably not is my answer. I have "frisbee'ed a hawk that was perched in my tree eyeballing my cat once. :mrgreen: But I digress... I have received a $250 reward for turning in a written complaint on a shooter who killed an owl a few years b...

The pistol configuration as-licensed by the ATFE does NOT allow any apparatus converting the pistol (handgun) to be fired from the shoulder or upper arm. Felony. As has been said, you don't get to justify the law. It's the law. If you break the law, you're the criminal, and ignorance of the law is n...

He ordered a Big Mac at a Burger King - and they made it for him.

He knows the letter that comes after Z.

He surfed the internet and got to the end.

Yep. Something Ruger never even attempted once the Browning came out.

Actually I read that Amazon was pulling out all of their distribution centers from CA in a rapid response to that Governor's decision to impose collection of sales tax on Amazon with monthly payments to the state. They just completed a third distribution center in AZ and have broken ground on a four...

RIA is an importer licensed in Pahrump, NV.

First man I ever saw shot was shot with a 22LR. A little Jennings pistol. The guy was hit just below the sternum and dropped like a wet dishrag. He died an hour or so later.

No one I know is lining up to get shot by a 22 "mouse gun".

You know, I never agreed with the "accidental" vs. negligent" discussion. I always thought that was an armchair argument penned by a gunrag writer suffering from writer's block long ago. If it wasn't intended, it was an accident. Same as plowing one car into another. Negligence is ana...

I'm still wondering about the facts of the OP. I know the Quinns don't write reports on "failures" or write bad reviews on anything, but I'd like to read more detail on the PMR breakage. Hopefully Kel-Tec will update the interested owners... ? I have one, and will tell anyone it is a fine ...

A little family-owned gun shop I used to haunt had a simple rule, EVERYONE, even if in uniform, kept their gun holstered and UNTOUCHED. If a customer came in with a cased gun or one for sale, it went on the counter and a counterman opened the case and checked it out. No exceptions. The rule was, if ...

Don't forget good ol' baking soda. With a box or two accessible (not in the cabinet over the stove) you have a one-two punch to extinguish a grease/ oil fire without splashing or flare-up.

Makes me smile when I recall the $161 I shelled out for mine last fall. A LGS pulled it out of the back room NIB and checked - he paid $105 for it wholesale and set the price. I thought about it for maybe two seconds and never let go. Also took his last Taurus pep sight in a dusty bubble pack. The n...

I've owned more than one of these fine rimfire LAs in 22 WRFM. Still have one that is particularly accurate. Gunsmiths' banter has it that the barrels for the ERMA- made 72s were contracted from Walther, which then made the rimfire barrels for others, including the Lothar Walther Olympic Biathlon gu...

"That guy was hunting on my property, killing deer and cutting the backstraps out and leaving the rest of the deer lay.
He was tearing down my no hunting and trespass signs..."

There's your answer. He's committing Misdemeanor criminal acts. File a complaint and press charges .

In the first two episodes Andy straps on his gunbelt. Some fans know that the show's "Sheriff without a gun" theme as not political at all. Griffith was a folk singer/comedian and had a routine about a southern cop who couldn't afford a gun, ay back a few years before the TV show... Quick,...

I prefer the Frontier rifles (carbines). I have three in 243, 308, and 300WSM. Even with the WSM, recoil is not near as brutal as a 12-guage slug gun to me. And it is an honest-to-goodness elk gun. As for the Scout - the only things I don't care for are the muzzle brake/flash hider; the loose magazi...

There have been several threads over the years trying to identify the guns in Andy's gun rack. The results have always been varied, because they changed from episode to episode!

Winchester recently announced they would commit to "larger than small runs" of former cartridges on a regular basis, if not annually. They specifically mentioned 7-30 Waters, 375W, 356W, 307W, and 348W. They also listed 25-20, 32-20, 38-40, and others.

Have faith.

My daughter loved going to proms during HS. I was the designated driver each and every time. I have indeed, been found cleaning a gun when her suitor came to our home.

Scrounging around for odd ammo is what I do for FUN. I've found 356 and 307 and 375 ammo in almost every place I've looked. ike the little store in Albuquerque - I walked in and found a dozen NH 1894's under $400 - including one pristine 307 that went home with me. On the home-built ammo rack I spie...

The overlooked issue here is that stamped parts are in actuality parts which were once machined of necessity - and have at some point been engineered to be able to serve their intended purpose and service life as stamped during manufacture!

Not sure about the "fading into history" comment. 356 Big Bore rifles I've seen in the past 5 years or so don't last a week on a store rack. Anyone who knows lever guns knows what they are and they snap them up! Hobie is spot-on. Buy loose gemstones and '60s Mopar convertibles for investme...

Most sources say the Browning M71s were under 3300 for each of the 20" versions - standard or High-Grade; and under 3000 each for the 24" versions. That's for the 1986-87 production lots. That means well under 13,000 total for those guns. Considerably more "rare" than the Winches...

Too Little Money. Every working person has that issue. Start with multi-caliber guns. You absolutely cannot be without a Decent Contender or Encore. A couple hundred bucks thereafter buys you a totally different caliber or shotgun barrel. I have aan Encore frame an barrels from 223 to 30-06 to 300 W...

I would take the cat in to the selection pool, wait for my call, and "interpret" for the cat, asking the whole room full of jurors if the judge supports the "fully informed jury" process.

Clearly marketing to women shooters/buyers was NOT a priority to the company at that time.

Clearly. An airbrush is a wonderful thing.

I say let's just see what they feel like IRL. And how they shoot. Until somene who has bought one posts here, it's all pure conjecture and emotion. I prefer hands-on experience & facts.

I did a quick google search on "phoenix guns" and got over 1600 links! When I lived in PV, I passed more than a dozen known "good' gun stores every day on the way home. Maybe a dozen more pawn shops that specialized in guns. Where to start? My first stops include Guns, Etc.; Legendary...

The barrel is a 20". I have a project action - Ruger No. 3 that someday will wear it, if I can find the right gunny. Sans barrel band?

I was and am sick when I see factory ammo marked up - even the ancient stuff - to $59, $69, and higher. I had resigned myself to reloading it. Maybe still ?

mohavesam

Or maybe not. It's all safe where it is. :wink: Went to the Mason (MI) gun show a couple weeks ago and ran into a fine gentleman with failing eyesight who spoke Model 71. We ended up having a chat over breakfast last week and he related that he had a "bunch" of that 348 ammo with the Brown...

Winchester officially discontinued their last loading - the 200 gr Silvertip - in 1978. They have made more since then, obviously. There were over 65,000 rifles made (Winchester, Browning, & Cimmarron) and most are still shoot-able out there. They all have dedicated owners who need fresh ammo. I...

All the above is true. The 71 is one fine bear/elk/boar rifle. Not much out there that can shake off a 220gr Barnes at 2375+ fps, or a 200gr X-bullet at 2500+. My first fall black bear took a 200gr Silvertip just above the heart and crumpled within 2-3 steps. IMO: The Brownings are much lower in pro...

Actually, I buy bulged barrels. Could you be so kind as to send me a link?

I make office gear with them. Not re-construct firearms with damaged parts, not to worry.

WOW, Some great opinions so far. Thanks all for putting the rationale together so carefully.

Big fan of the 480R. I have one SRH set up for swamp deer and another NIB, so I'd opine you want one once you shoot it. I had a 454 but it was too brutal to practice with. I can put 30 rounds down the 480R in an afternoon an still write my name. If I "had' to buy another 480R I'd look around an...

The original load was Remington 240 gr but the 265 SJFP came along and solved some of the ills of that round I believe. Marlin still sells a 22" pistol-gripped 444 walnut & blued steel rifle and you (we all) should buy one. With an 18-19 inch crowned bbl and good deep-woods sight, you'd not...

Actually, this is a significant event. It signals the first production (semi-production?) models of a Winchester-branded 1894 rifle since the failure of the New Haven factory. Yeah, I said failure. It may just signal the beginning of a decrease in the inflated pricing of re-sold New Haven guns. Thin...
