I got a call from my credit card company yesterday. Two different entities posted 0$ transactions to my account on Tuesday. Then this morning I get this in the mail from Kimber. Sure enough I used that card to buy some spare parts from Kimber in that time period.

Who the fuck stores CC in their system these days? And how can Kimber or their third party claim to be PCI complaint ( capable of accepting card not present payments) when they store the CVE? Who is the CISO at Kimber and who is their "third party" hosting service? Who coded this shit and who runs that company?

hey all, happy Friday... installing a 419 brake and the little silver ring/washer inside popped out. having a bear of a time getting it back in. anyone know a hack or solution???? thanks!

Is anyone else more and more liking red dots on their long guns. I've suddenly noticed I've gotten rather a few.

It started with me looking for a way to put an optical sight on my 9.3x62 - an old hunting rifle that wasn't drilled and tapped so a scope wasn't an option but a good buddy of mine suggested a reflex dot on a custom cut dovetail mount to replace the front sight.

So, I tried it and liked it:



Next came the pump shotgun. Here in the UK we shoot pump actions and semi autos at turning targets with slugs. I tried my supernova with an iron sighted slug barrel but hated the sights (just grey on grey and lost them) so a bit of "googling" turned up the Burris Speed Bead and a Fast Fire III (3MOA)









And a big improvement in enjoyment and scores. Not the last time I’ll put a red dot on a shotgun it turns out...

Then there came the lever action.

Started off with a red dot, went to a scout scope then decided to go back to a red dot (mainly because of local range rules it isn’t so easy to shoot shotgun slugs but a 44 mag lever action is no problem). So, for the same sight picture as my slug guns, have gone back to another Burris:



(Must get a better picture)

Them came the idea of what to do with a rifle I had that I wanted to use for hunting but I had a 6-24x56 scope on with a very fine ret and I had an 8x56 fixed scope sitting around. This 8x56 is great for sitting in a dark wood but not great for quick target acquisition if you bump a deer on the way in or out. So, borrowing from the tactical and 3 gun crowd I put a red dot on the side of my 8x56 and took it hunting:







(That’s actually on my little Brno .22lr that I used to practice / work up with to see if I liked the concept). It went on the 7x64 Mausingfield after that).

Finally, there’s the other shotgun.

It’s a Fabarm H368 (Not sure they went to the US). Anyway, with a 26” multi choke and a 24” rifle sighted barrel for not a lot of money it was too good to pass up.





Think it looks cool “naked” using the man sights (fibre optics and really need to see when I can get it zeroed with those as well).

Anyway, given how much I liked my pump with a red dot, thought might as well stick a Burris on that. Given the receiver has ~11mm dovetail grooves, thought I might try and use those.





You can get a dovetail mount from people like Recknagel and Rusan in Europe that lets you mount red dots to dovetails quite easily but they have a little retaining pin in the underside:



So, there needed to be a small hole drilled in the receiver of the Fabarm:



After that, it became a simple matter of mounting the red dot on with the QD dovetail mount.









So, I like that system as don’t have to have a bulky rail in the way if I want to go from slug shooting to wing shooting and that appeals (The Benelli with the Speed Bead you have to unscrew stuff to take the red dot off, rather less neat).

Here's sort of the sight picture:



And the gun in it’s entirety (Stock actually fits me well so need a bit of lift to be aligned with the red dot)



So, apparently like I like red dots. A lot…. (Hello. My name is Scrumbag and I’m a red-dot-aholic…) Anyone else using red dots on their long guns more than they thought they would?

Its illegal to carry a rire arm onto government property, meaning in this case, the post office.

Since UPS and FedEx dont ship guns anymore that only leaves the post office.

Technically, then, youre committing a federal crime the moment you step onto the property with a firearm

I'll have to askk the net time I go in but it seems contradictory.

On a different note, would it be a crime to ship a long gun through UPS and tell them its a set of driving irons, or a fishing rig. Or just a violation of their rules.

I hope someone can answer my question(s); they're all related to what "COLLECTIBLES INSURANCE SERVICE" calls 'away from premises' loss... I'd like to know if the loss of a handgun is covered under the following conditions:

1) If I'm legally carrying a handgun (w/ a Florida CCW) and have to go into a hospital emergency room and the gun is taken from me (or if I surrender it to hospital staff) and subsequently lost or stolen, will a private collectible insurance company generally cover such a loss?

2) If it's confiscated by law enforcement and lost or stolen from their possession, will a private collectible insurance company generally cover such a loss?

3) If it falls out of my holster while I'm on a boat and lost at sea, will a private collectible insurance company generally cover such a loss?

I've just signed up for their policy, and would like to know if any of the readers here have any experience with any of the three scenarios I've cited. I asked the COLLECTIBLES INSURANCE SERVICE agent, but she said, "each case is individual" and was pretty foggy about how the first two scenes would be handled. I thought of the holster-in-the-boat example after I'd hung up.

Thanks, Guys!

I haven’t seen one of the monthly memes in a while. My card isn’t fully filled out.

For those that don't know, FH stands for Farm House, the fraternity's yard it was in. There is another ag fraternity two blocks away known to have more fun. A natural ongoing rivalry.
More than likely the cow was already dead. No blood at cut. Cut was low, but probably performed to let pressure off from being dead and gassed up.
Animal House was probably not a good introduction video for pledges to watch.
I think it is hilarious, but the world will be offended.
Glad my kids are not in that other fraternity because I actually encouraged them to look into it.

Reading the wind is one of the bedrock skills of long-range shooting. It, along with range estimation and good firing technique, make up the foundation of long-range precision shooting, the base upon which nearly all advanced skills build.



In days past, making wind calls was as much art as skill, and it could only be learned by doing it. You made a guess, fired a shot, watched where it hit, and used that information to correct your estimate—rinse and repeat, until your guesses become consistent.



Luckily for modern shooters, we now have tools available to us that make this process quite a bit easier, although there is still a bit of a learning curve. A good wind meter takes much of the guesswork out of your wind calls and provides you with the information you need to true your ballistic calculator, hold for wind properly, and land more hits.

Expelled from the House for misappropriation of campaign funds, using the same excuse an ex gf used when she blew the rent money. "I thought you GAVE me that money."


Pathological liar and thief, I bet he comes back as a Democrat and accepted with open arms.

Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) is pushing a ban on AR-15s by focusing on their gas operation system approximately 64 years after the gun’s design included such a system.

Breitbart News reported that Sen. Angus King (I-ME) and a group of Senate Democrats, including Kelly, introduced an AR-15 ban early Thursday. In so doing, they used new catchphrases such as “lethal capacity weapons” and “gas-operated semiautomatic.”

Later Thursday, Kelly posted a video on X in which he continued to emphasize the new catchphrases by explaining that this latest attempt to ban AR-15s and similar rifles “focuses on the lethality of their internal mechanisms.”

He described the proposed ban as a “renewed effort” and explained that the firearms he wants to ban are “semiautomatic, gas-operated rifles.” He did not mention that the gas operation of an AR-15 is nothing new. In fact, it is about 64 years old if we date it back to 1959, when Colt acquired the license to manufacture the rifle.

By design, an AR uses gas emitted from a spent round, directing the gas to the bolt carrier group to reset it, at which time another round is chambered and ready to be fired with the next trigger pull. Non-gas-operated semiautomatics operate off recoil, with the action of the gun, such as a 9mm pistol, cycling as a result of the energy pushed backward during the process of firing a round.

Using the “gas operated” designation for an AR-15 does not change the fact that an AR-15 is a semiautomatic firearm that shoots one round–and one round only–per trigger pull.

Moreover, designating a gun ban as a prohibition against “semiautomatic, gas-operated rifles” just means it is a ban targeting the same guns all other “assault weapons” bans have targeted.
