Definitely replated. It's hard to tell in a picture, but it looks like chrome to me, not nickel. Grandad used to be in the auto parts business and some of his buddies would "rescue" beat up guns for a little side cash or their own interest. Their results were generally a bit rough, as they...

Just an update for those who might be interested in how the NRA Board of Directors elections went. Here's a link to my article about it: NRA Board Election Results 2025: What Happened & What it Means for the Membership The shorter version is that the "Reform" candidates won 19 of the 29 seats...

God Bless Him. Don't fall for the **** about Hayes and others being removed from government websites. These are either instances of "Deep State" actors going overboard on the anti-DEI orders on purpose in an effort to stir up controversy, or like someone else suggested, it's an algorithm...

Please Note: The $600 Life Membership offer has been extended to April 20, and regular Annual Memberships are also on sale until then for just $18.71 per year! For less than $20 bucks, folks can join or rejoin, show support for the efforts we're making, and if we don't live up to our promises...

NRA only stops soliciting if you specifically request to be put on the "No Solicitation" list. BUT... We are revamping all of the solicitation programs to better focus our efforts and reduce the volume of solicitations that go out. We're also working to better coordinate solicitations from...

If I'm breaking any forum rules, please let me know. Some NRA Board members have gotten a special Life Member deal approved to challenge Directors to actively recruit new Life Members. It's something of a competition among the Board, but the deal is only available until March 17, so just a few...

Voting for just one, or only a few, is an effective way to give those votes a little more weight. Since it's all cumulative voting, with the highest vote getters getting seats, the weighting works like this: You have 3 candidates you really want elected, so you vote for those three, then you...

Never Surrender...! I dare Seth to name a person that I have endorsed in this election who was in any way complicit, culpable, or involved with support of Wayne LaPierre during this fiasco. While I'm absolutely willing to work with anyone who wants to move the NRA in the same direction I am...

Holy cow! What are you smoking?!? The corruption was detected in 2018 and corrective action was taken... BUT Wayne LaPierre was left in charge! Wayne's cronies were left in place! The Directors who were supposed to have noticed, prevented, and corrected financial problems were not only left...

There he goes again... Substantive, but 5 years late! And Seth leaves out the fact that Wayne personally recruited Ollie for the presidency and personally helped to negotiate Ollie's contract with Ackerman McQueen. Ollie was working for FOX News, and whether contractually or on a conflict of...

You're absolutely right that lawyers serve an important purpose, and I understand that. My heartburn is over the number of lawyers involved, the costs being charged, and the lack of substantive results. Ollie North was raising questions about their billings and efficacy all the way back in...

We are working on better communications. It's starting with bringing the Board into the 21st century by creating an online space where we can access core documents and our "read-ahead" stuff for the next meeting, rather than having NRA mail us each a thick book of documents every couple of...

If we're talking J-frame, the absolute best thing you can do to improve the trigger pull is replace the grips. These days many come with better grips than the old checkered slabs of the past, but having good grips that fit your hand is a night-and-day difference. Mom had Bill Jordan stocks on...

I don't want to take over your forum with more "He said -- He/She/They said," but I do think some of these things need to be answered. First the $200 million dollars figure. Yes, I was a bit cavalier and imprecise in my wording above. The $200 million figure is an approximation of what the NRA...

Sorry for the delay getting here guys. Always too much to do. As others have previously posted the link to my Endorsement Article at Ammoland, here's a link to my Author Page where you can see all of my articles going back years, including this year's endorsements and a recent compare and...
