Another Scout Rifle idea

By
June 30, 2009

So, when I was thinking about rifles, Shooting Buddy asked me about the possibility of doing a scout rifle “on the cheap” so to speak, by converting a mil-surp rifle to a scout configuration.  Aside from the fact that I couldn’t get one in .223, it’s actually not a bad idea.  If I were...

Gun Nuts Tonight: America, F*** Yeah!

By
June 30, 2009

Last week, if you listened to the show, you know that we had about a 30 minute bit where our listeners called in and told us what was pissing them off about the government.  Tonight’s show, at least in part is going to be the exact opposite of that – we’re going to talk...

Lead ammo ban

By
June 30, 2009

A recent report issued by the California Department of Fish and Game shows that levels of lead in the blood of California Condors is “inconclusive”.  Gosh, it’s almost like the lead ammo ban in California was just a stunt to drive up the cost of hunting and push more shooters and sportsmen out of...

More on reloading revolvers

By
June 30, 2009

I have never “had” to reload to revolvers fast.  As I mentioned in yesterday’s post, I’m learning the new motor skills required to do this in hurry – however I’m taking advantage of a lot of expert advice I’ve acquired in the process.  The one thing I have learned though is that “fine motor...

In all seriousness, Illinois’ lack of reciprocity with Indianastan is why I don’t go to Chicago. I have a very good friend that...

Combatives, MMA, gun games and warrior-wannabes

By
June 29, 2009

About a million years ago in internet time, I used to frequent a forum that was frequently involved in forum wars with Bullshido, due to in a large part the fact that the population of Bullshido is composed largely of martial artists that train for MMA competition.  The members of the other forum were...

Learning new skills

By
June 29, 2009

I have been practicing with my new S&W 625 a lot lately, primarily trying to anchor the skills necessary to reload the gun quickly.  I took the factory wood stocks off and replaced them with an open backstrap Hogue grip, which in addition to being a lot more narrow than the wood stocks due...

It has been mentioned all across the gun blog world that Brownells recently updated and completely revised their website.  I finally got around to making a purchase on the new website last night, I needed moonclip holders and a fiber optic front sight for my 625.  The new website made doing that almost ridiculously...

Here is a complete list of the Representatives that voted “no” to the largest tax increase in the history of the US.  If your rep is on this list, make sure you thank them for supporting the Constitution, and standing for the principles on which this country was founded. If your rep is on...
