    Guns and Protests

    A single word used like a sledge hammer "Source" ! A classic liberal talking point tool that stops all conversation and discussion, especially when a person is ignorant of every aspect of an issue. "Source" Kind of an egotistical inference that the opposite speaker is lying. Well of course...

    What $10.00 gets you now-a-days

    When we ran out of US cigarettes (I liked PallMalls) we'd smoke Melia or Bastos those horrible French smokes. Smoked 3 Luckys from 1944 C Rats. It was like lighting Detcord.. The Viets wanted Salems. Breakfast was a canteen cup of the worst coffee ever made and about 5 or 6 Pall Malls. Reading...

    Smith-Corona 1903A3

    The sights on a 98K are terrible, the 03 are worse. The 03A3 sights are much more useful and easy to use. If you are poking holes in paper the 03 sights are much better, if you are defending yourself the 03A3 are waaay better. They both kick like a mule compared to the 98K.

    No more Bullseye! What are you switching to?

    I use Red Dot or B.E. same. Still working on an 8lbs tub of R.D. 35 years old from trap shooting days.

    Lets see the mini handguns

    Back in the 70s Calif was actually a free state: Best cops and CHP, no helmet law, carrying was a misdemeanor. We were T&T riders, (Tavern to Tavern) all on stroker 77" magneto Sportsters or Stroker 93" pans with shovel heads. S&S GAL carbs and flywheels, Sifton cams most of us had gone through...

    45acp moon clips are ok but

    I used AR for use in a .455 Webley which worked great and was a really well made pistol. AR was really hard to find 50 years ago.

    Guns and Protests

    These "disturbances" today are mostly bought and paid for and many are just performances by people who do this for a living. The lady who was supposedly shot with a rubber bullet in the head and being carried off by a squad of stooges wearing masks, her face covered in blood with an apparent...

    To Tisas Or not to Tisas?

    The type and quality of the steel can make or break a pistol (literally). When the CNC machines came out the cost of every aspect went down , machinist labor, scrap rate, speed, and design all changed for the better. This production savings carried over to material. Today's steel is much better...

    Used blackhawk 44 mags not worth much anymore?

    I had a Ruger 4 5/8" 41 mag. It was a great well made firearm and I should have kept it because it was a pretty rare piece. Investment casting vs poorly done machine work. I find an argument when people faint over a company that has produced absolute junk, plastic Tupperware, bent sheet metal...

    Question

    I'd first suggest buying one of the Lee hand primers. The RCBS in tube priming systems suck out loud and you'll wreck a lot of primers using them. The Lee machine comes with both sizes of primer trays that turn over the primers into proper orientation to go into the prepped cases. The original...

    Just curious if anyone here who partcipated in the spare magazine thread has rethought it after LA riots.

    There are very few sources of media today that are considered unbiased and truthful: Maybe you are not looking beyond the first row of trees or maybe you don't want to look? " A minority of Americans trust the media. Gallup polls show that only 31% of U.S. adults express a "great deal" or...

    Just curious if anyone here who partcipated in the spare magazine thread has rethought it after LA riots.

    It makes no sense when some appointed politically motivated lower court judge can stop the Federal Government in its tracks. Word salad explaining why a riot is not a riot is exactly why we are in our present situation. This is why we are supposed to believe men can get pregnant. Dozens of...

    Just curious if anyone here who partcipated in the spare magazine thread has rethought it after LA riots.

    20 years ago my relative was involved in breaking up an armed robbery using his CC permitted handgun. The shots fired were into the perps (2) front tire and an AD when the crooks tried to run over him which slightly wounded one perp. Relative DID EVERYTHING RIGHT with the public safety as his...

    Glock ban moving forward in CA

    You are absolutely correct, it is beautiful. Years ago when there was less government and more law and order you could camp in Modoc county and never see anyone for a week. I deer hunted up there for years but it was hundreds of miles and 8 hours to get there. Go on You Tube and watch the videos...

    Glock ban moving forward in CA

    No place in Calif is any different unless it is in the central valley or mountains. Northern Calif is the same Buffoons only they're middle age or older and a lot better off. Local newspaper is 100% against anything that makes sense. Most readers absolutely hate the paper. There are about...
