    Scar 17 Recall

    I can see the advantages and disadvantages of a reciprocating charging handle. I prefer rifles without a reciprocating handle so I don't get banged by it, or have it get hung up on something like a barricade, doorway or something like that if I am in an odd position to shoot. But as the...

    Maggie’s Bunny Fatality!

    My 17 year old, 9.5 pound terrier mix that has lost all but about six of his teeth has caught two young wild rabbits in his little fenced in enclosure, and killed them both. I guess I should be happy for him that he finally got a couple of kills at his age...he is deaf, and mostly blind in one...

    Maggie’s Man's Best Friend Thread

    T-Hoe, That is some really tough duty. You have my sincere condolences. I have had to draw the same straw 5 times over the past 15 years, and I found it tougher than dealing with other losses.

    For those who have never heard the story of the dog named "Delta", here it is: Delta is just one of many victims that died in and near the ancient city of Pompeii after Mt. Vesuvius erupted in 79 A.D. Her remains were found lying across the body of a young child in a courageous but hopeless...

    Maggie’s Man's Best Friend Thread

    When I learn about people who keep old dogs, tripod dogs, who are willing to rescue dogs in need, pay hefty prices to get medical attention for dogs, or keep and help dogs that some folks would consider "inconvenient", I know I could be friends with those people who do things like that for dogs.

    I hadn't even heard of him. I'll put him on my "list" of famous dogs. Thanks.

    While I really like firearms and knives, if I had to live out my life without either firearms and knives or without a dog around, I would live without firearms and knives. I just really like dogs.

    The most famous dogs I can think of: 1. Balto and Togo: two of the dogs that made the famous Iditarod run. 2. Delta: Dog that saved it's owner's life 3x before dying trying to protect his child from the Mt. Vesuvius explosion. 3. Greyfriar's Bobby: Stayed at his owner's churchyard grave for...

    Synthetic engine oils???

    I like synthetic lubricants, and use quite a few different kinds of them (engine oil, transmission fluid, greases). When Amsoil first came out, one of my co-workers was trying to become a dealer and was giving everyone at work a really hard time using the hard sell about it. Back then...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Finally received CMP Colt 1911a1

    I really like the looks of that pistol. They did a great job re-furbishing it. Some of the lettering on the slide is a bit mushed out, but overall, I would be REALLY pleased to receive a pistol like that. What grade did you order, and did you have to do anything special (pay lots more money)...

    One protester shot and killed in Austin. Approached the wrong car with a rifle and the driver went 'hot.'

    I couldn't tell what happened from the video. I heard 5 shots, then what sounded like 3 more shots a little bit later. I never did see anyone with a gun approaching the black vehicle. I watched the video 4-5 times, rewound it to around the time of the shooting, and still couldn't see much...

    Gunsmithing Barrel/caliber conversion from .260 to 6.5 CM

    Many years ago, before the 6.5 Creedmoor was really popular, Hornady was the only ammo maker who produced 6.5 Creedmoor ammo, so I built a 260 Remington because ammo availability was the same, but making brass out for the 260 was far easier than making or buying brass for the Creedmoor. Things...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Police pistol quals

    When I took on the job of chief firearms instructor at my former agency, I made a couple of changes that I thought were realistic: 1. Any qualification has to be done cold. In otherwords, the qualification attempt must be the first rounds you put down range for the day. There are no warm ups...

    Baseball takes a knee!

    Baseball, basketball, and football have all lost me as a fan. I just don't care about what they do, don't follow teams and the only reason I know who won the 2019 World Series is because it is in this thread. I don't even know who won the super bowl, or the NBA championship...and I don't care.

    I believe ANTIA'S underlying assumption is wrong

    Antifa, BLM and the anarchistic rioters are howling about the "secret police", "unidentified law enforcement arresting people" arresting/snatching/kidnapping people off the streets. They are complaining that unmarked cars are used, uniforms are not clearly marked etc. Even mayors of cities...

    Portland protest......

    Maybe a few...a little bit...when someone is watching. As with any illegally obtained "evidence" it isn't admissible in court. However, many of those alphabet soup agencies don't care about that, because they don't intend to use it in court in any event.

    Seattle riots again

    I thought this was interesting. As the lawsuits against various government entities (mayors, governors) wind their ways through the courts, I think that many of them will end up paying huge amounts of the tax payers money back to the people who filed the lawsuits. Especially because the last...

    Portland protest......

    From the article: The entire U.S. media has been ordered by the CIA into a nationwide news blackout of the real events there, so that left-wing media can continue to falsely describe the Black Lives Matter terrorist group as a “peaceful” operation. I had always heard that the CIA is only...
