Yes, they do. Try reading the US Constitution (hint: it's the 23rd Amendment)!

Lake City is a government-owned, contractor-operated facility (currently run by Winchester/Olin). When production exceeds military demand, the surplus is sold commercially, labeled as Winchester or Federal ammo or sold to other distributors as surplus LC ammo. No law was ever passed prohibiting...

Dude, residents of D.C. have a vote, they just don't have a rep in congress and given the quality of current members of congress, they should consider themselves lucky indeed! Neither do residents of Puerto Rico, Guam or the US Virgin Islands btw. Your last statement certainly looks political...

It's not just prosecutions that I am referring to. Many states have de-criminalized or reduced felonious acts to misdemeanors. Doesn't that affect your statistics?

Crime is down in many cities because criminals are not being charged or charged with a lesser offense. Be wary of crime statistics. As Benjamin Disraeli said, "There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics."

This is a very generous act! I have a K22 Masterpiece that definitely needs the cylinder honed. I'll be in touch.

In general, I agree, but imagine lighting one of those rounds off inside your house at 2 in the morning. Thats why I also prefer to pick powders with low flash like WST for my wadcutters.

I collect every brand of .38/.357 brass at the range. My favorite is the Federal nickel plated cases. Having said that, I don't think there is any great difference in various brands. Of course, I reload to mostly mild tartget load levels. If you reload to max pressures, then you may find some...

Common misconception. Only 27 states allow non-unanimous jury verdicts in civil cases and most of those require a super majority, like 9 out of 12. In cases like this, the jury members don't need to be experts. Most witnesses on each side will be firearm experts and the decision will turn on...

Stain doesn't work on birch. You need to use an aniline dye. Very easy to match the walnut handguard color.

I have done the same on thousands of surplus Russian ammo with an inertia bullet puller. You must have mighty strong hands! My surplus Russian ammo had heavy sealer between the bullet and the case. BTW, that powder was indeed a copy of H4895. I reloaded using load data for H4895 and it worked...

Perhaps not the best choice for one or the other calibers you mention, but Hodgdon Titegroup will work for all of them and is probably the most economical to use. The only thing it does not work for is hot loads in 357 Magnum for which Alliant 2400 is the best choice.

Tru-Oil is very easy to use and looks good, but it is a very soft finish. Lacquer is much more durable, and you can get it in matte, satin and gloss. I remove the old lacquer finish with lacquer thinner. I tape the checkering with blue painter's tape and sand the wood as little as possible to...

Beautiful and it is crying out for rosewood grips! Enjoy!

My well used K22 is one of the last handguns I would ever sell! It is a joy to shoot.
