      .30 M1 Carbine

      Guess I didn't overpay, I bought mine in 1994 at Jerry's gun shop in Rensselaer for $170 - it has a few stock scars but bore and works are great - accurate little firearm!

      AK-47 Discussion Thread

      Yep, I have a Russian POSP scope with the Russian mount on mine! I started with a Chi-com rifle with the keyhole stock, didn't look like it had ever been shot, know the guy I bought it from had it several years and never fired it. I made it 922 compliant, changed all the furniture with new...

      Was shopping online for a Retro Grade shot gun

      There are (or were) several venom's snakes in Indiana! Several years ago my BIL had a snake that lived in his barn near Delphi. Sister was not fond of the Idea but he said it kept the rats population down. Came a day his teen-aged son caught the snake and took it to his high school Biology...

      Thoughts on private gun sales

      I follow the BATF rules PERIOD. If they have an Indiana drivers license showing they are 18 or older AND I "do not know or have any reason to believe they are Illegal to own a firearm" we are good to go! (BATF does not require any farther checking - in fact a common citizen is not allowed to...

      Be careful what you ask for!!

      Yup, I graduated high school in northern Indiana in 1959. On opening day of Squirrel, Rabbit, and Duck season, many students left school real early (and a few teachers did also!). Of the pickups driven to school, probably 60 - 80% had gun racks in the back window - almost all held a shotgun...

      Guns Left To Me In the Will, Now What?

      Unless something has changed in the last few months, The "C&R" book can be discarded when you stop renewing your license. It can be trashed - unlike the FFL-01 dealer records which must be sent to the BATF when you discontinue your business. When Biden became president, I did not renew my FFL-03...

      Manual safety on edc’s

      I agree, for well over 20 years I carried a Colt Double Eagle 45ACP. It looked like a stainless steel 1911, however it was a DA/SA and the ONLY safety was a de-cocker. Although I own several firearms, this was at the time the only handgun I usually carried. I shot many thousands of rounds...

      Looking for Input about getting your first Handgun

      I doubt very much the first one he chooses will be his carry gun for the rest of his life for various reasons. New firearms are issued every year and one my end up being his new favorite! I would try to discourage him from choosing an AR handgun as IMHO these are either a range, home...

      Sporting Clay - Shotgun

      I would certainly try out whatever configuration shotgun you are interested in purchasing. I, for some reason cannot use a double barrel shotgun with any accuracy! I do pretty well with pump or semi-auto but ALWAYS shoot in front of clay's (or live birds). As far as brands, I recall...

      38 Super is 9mm?

      In my collection I have an Astra 400 (Italian semi-auto handgun from 2nd WW). On the barrel it has stamped 38 - 9mm Largo). Checking all my reloading manuals and specs on both rounds, there is a very slight difference in the case measurements (.001" or .002" can't remember) . Anyhow I obtained...

      Battle rifle

      I have a few "Battle" rifles. Couple of Garands, M1 Carbine, Russian SVD 40, LR-308, 5 or 6 AR15's, AK, Sks's, etc. Did not count the Bolt actions like the Swiss, Swedish, Enfield, Mosin's etc. :>}.

      Where to start with a home business gun store?

      One issue that I detest is that if you operate from your home - it is looked at by the BATF as a Business that they can inspect at any time they desire. They can search your home, open your personal gun safes and inspect every firearm in them, to determine if any are listed anywhere as lost...

      NEW GUN LAW GETTING A VOTE

      I have one son that started carrying concealed at 18 many years ago - he is in his late 50's now. Another also did, he is only 55 now. Both had to buy their firearms from Individuals as the FED's won't allow to sell handguns to anyone under 21. Neither had any issues at all and still carry! By...

      Help Me Pick a Scope?

      Personally I don't believe you can beat the Vortex line with any other manufacture in the same price range. I am 80 years old and in the past have shot a few rifles with very expensive scopes (cost more than I could afford at the time), none appeared to me to be any better than the new Vortex...

      Mosin Nagant 91/30 7.65x54R

      It is probably the most reliable firearm you own! It was designed (and works) to be used by peasants that had never seen or fired a rifle. It is also one of the roughest operating rifles made, and requires the least maintenance. They also kick like Hexx, I have added rubber pads to several of...

      Selling a P80 build?

      You didn't state whether you built the firearm with a purchased Frame with a serial number. IE: you purchased it from a dealer and filled out a 4473 it is just like an AR15 that you assembled with a factory finished receiver containing a factory serial number that is perfectly fine to sell...

      Need Winchester 94 knowledge

      The 45 colt (which is the 45 long colt) was originally a black powder cartridge. Today's commercial loading has a 250 grain bullet and 860 fps muzzle velocity, giving it 411 ft lbs muzzle energy. However, if you reload for the Ruger Redhawk, you can load to the power of a hot 44 magnum...

      Negligent discharges and injuries/death

      NOT only NO but HELX NO. We have plenty of regulations now! IF it becomes a LAW the government will find ways to use it to restrict ownership in some way. I was never "trained" by an official, my BIL taught me gun safety and marksmanship in the 1940's and 1950's. when he returned from WW2. He...

      Do you own a firearm chambered in .22LR?

      A few! Both handguns and rifles - I thought every gun owner had some 22's! Also have about 10k of ammo...
