    How is the panic over the gun banners effecting prices?

    How is the panic over the gun banners affecting prices? I've heard that panic buying has emptied shelves and pushed prices to insane levels and recently heard of 20 round boxes of plinking grade 223/5.56 going for $100. This is hearsay since I don't need to buy any pre-loaded stuff and haven't...

    Picture of a 1911 pistol

    That post is over two years old, I probably moved the picture. My Contender too.

    "C" word

    My brother blew me away when he told me that it was time that I "woke up" and it was time to severely restrict the types of guns available to the population. He thinks they should be limited to bolt action rifles of three rounds total. He's a big deer hunter. Wonder why he expects that the...

    LaPIERRE ON MEET THE PRESS

    Expansion of background checks? What does that mean, expansion into person to person sales? If so, the only way for them to make sure that no guns were transferred without government approval would be to register the ownership of all guns. Anyone who follows history knows that is the immediate...

    No shooting going on so I'll post a few pictures of some Florida scenes

    If it is an individual shot as opposed to a crowd, I'll ask for permission, not always verbally but always understood. The 3rd shot was a couple of weeks ago after the local Chumukla Redneck Christmas Parade. The local parades are usually New Orleans style in that the parade entrants throw...

    Situational Ethics, a question

    I'll have to state my thesis again: When one person out of fifty, through extreme luck or whatever circumstance, wins an extraordinary number (14 out of 31) of the prizes, a gentleman or person of character would at some point defer further winnings. If you don't know this is true, we just have...

    Situational Ethics, a question

    Heh! Okay, how much did she pay you? It's a good thing she doesn't read BR.com or she'd print that out and put copies all over the house.

    Situational Ethics, a question

    There's no question of rights, only a question of the correct thing for an individual to do in a situation where sometimes the solution that is "legal" may or may not be close to the optimal solution. We're not evolved from solitary predators, we are social creatures and have to consider our...

    Situational Ethics, a question

    I posted this identical question on another board that I frequent, on that specializes in gold, silver and numismatics. Curious to see how/if the opinion is different in a group with a different focus. To set the scene, last night I was at the Christmas meeting of the local Numismatics Club...

    UPS vs USPS

    Over the last 10 years I've bought and sold a fair amount of gold and silver. When a shipment gets into the real value range, the use of USPS Registered is nearly universal.

    Drone shot down, ground to air fire:

    At some point aerial photography becomes trespass but I have no idea what that point might be. If the drone was brough down by shotgun fire it couldn't have been much above 100 feet high.

    Ejector plunger on Stolle Grizzley

    Thanks!............................. Found a #28 bit and there was something in there. Never really saw it but a minute or three or fiddling with the bit and it freed up. Truth is that I don't remember the plunger ever operating this smoothly.

    Ejector plunger on Stolle Grizzley

    Yes. BTW: I got maybe 500-600 rounds before it started sticking. I fully expected to find something in there.

    Ejector plunger on Stolle Grizzley

    I've had the plunger on my RBLP SS Grizzley out twice now, cleaned everything out and put it back in but the plunger immediately jams again. A friend with the identical action has taken his apart so many times that he gave up on it and now just pushes the fired case out with his finger. Anyone...
