    Any "Film Noir" experts here?

    When I was about 6-8 years old, my mother took me to a theater and we saw some film noir sometime between 1956-1960. The movie ended when a big man "stalked" and choked a smaller man (to death?) after the smaller man emptied his handgun into the big man. The scene unraveled as a...

    What sites do ya'll suggest I post on for local sale if no Craigslist/eBay/Gunbroker allowed?

    I think the subject line is pretty accurate. I wanna sell some ammunition locally--face to face only, but I don't know where I can post a "for sale" ad. Do ya'll have any ideas? Craigslist and eBay forbid ammo sales, and Gunbroker mostly requires shipping, and I'm just a private party trying to...

    Are the old Volquartsen LLV barrels threaded for a suppressor?

    SFP and MOA resolution w/ a Nightforce 5.5-22x56 NP-R2

    It's been years since I've shot my rifles. I can't remember how to use the NP-R2 reticle (SFP). I know that the vertical delineations are 2 MOA and only valid at 22x. I think I remember that if I reduce magnification to 11x, those values double to 4 MOA. Are they 8 MOA at 5.5x ? Thank you very...

    Do you know the title of this book: about an F4U Corsair pilot?

    I'm trying to find a book I think read when I was in high school (class of '68). I think it was published in the 1950s. I'm sure the book wasn't published after 1970. I thought the title was: "Whistling Death: Corsair!" or "Corsair! Whistling Death" but I can't even find an internet page...

    Who's old enough to remember Pat Summerall's playing days?

    This is indirectly related to Pat Summerall... I was watching an old Super Bowl game and John Madden commenting with Pat Summerall about a Cincinnati coach named "Dick Mojeleski". I didn't know the correct spelling for the last name. Madden (referring to Dick M.) said something like, "was he...

    A friend has asked me a complicated question and I've separated it into to questions in this forum. He lives in Japan and can buy only one rifle. He wants a semi-auto in .308 or 30-06. He'll probably hunt with it. I'm sure the game would be deer; there are black and brown bear there, too. I...
