    President Trump shot (2024 Butler PA)

    The BeenVerified page says that the guy in the picture above is 72 years old !? I realize that the picture is a few years old, but DAMN !! He sure don't look like any 72 year old man I've ever seen ! Oh, and it also says he's already dead !

    Assistant District Attorney arrested for alleged official misconduct (Erie County)

    A report I heard on the local news/talk radio station today said that more charges have been added. Eleven pounds of pot were found in his house, along with distribution supplies.

    NYS Hunting Licenses - Another intelligent decision

    It wasn't all that many years ago when backtags were just paper with numbers printed on them. They were about like construction paper and printed with black ink. The place you bought your licenses from had a stack of various tags and recorded the tag number they gave you. You did not have...

    Auto knife thread

    My turn at resurrecting an ancient thread... I bought this at a gun show ( not in NY of course ) last week. It cost me $ 125. High carbon steel half serrated tanto blade with stainless internals. There is a rubbery finish on the handle that makes for a secure grip with wet hands, but also...

    SCOTUS rules on Bump-stock issue

    So....where does this ruling leave forced reset triggers ? By all rights, the ATF classification on them should fall as well.

    Buy it now for $ 670 ! I paid $ 650 for a USED Browning BT-99 25 years ago ! You should jump on that !

    12 Gauge over/under/

    I've known people that shot both trap and skeet very well using everyday field guns. But, for those that really want to compete in either game, a specialized gun will give them an advantage. Trap guns are made to shoot well under point of aim, and have long tightly choked barrels. This is...

    Trap guns and skeet guns are two VERY different animals !

    12 Gauge over/under/

    Is Ruger still making one ? Honestly, you can find nice used Brownings at reasonable prices all over the place. You want a sporting clays gun ? So...30" barrels, backbored, lots of choke tubes included ? What's your budget and how far will you drive to buy one ?

    Albany declaring June "Gun Violence Prevention Month"

    Corruption surprises you ? It doesn't surprise me to find it ANYWHERE in government. In fact, I EXPECT it. What surprises me is when I find an HONEST government employee. EVERY SINGLE THING THE GOVERNMENT TELLS YOU IS A LIE. The more they reapeat something, the bigger that lie is. For...

    RIA Lion X4 barrel pitting/flaking

    Are you sure it's not plastic buildup from the wads ? That's what it looks like to me. I would try to clean it before I called the company. Get yourself a turbo brush and a can of shotgun cleaner. FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS ON THE CAN. And do this outside, over cardboard. That spray CAN...

    Ban .50 cal rifles in America to prevent cartel violence (in Mexico?)

    Not .49 caliber, but if you're serious ( and have a few $$$ saved up ) CheyTac makes a .408 and a .375 that are unbelieveable.

    Ban .50 cal rifles in America to prevent cartel violence (in Mexico?)

    This I know from experience, since I happen to own one of those incredibly powerful and evil ( because it's black ) .50 BMG rifles : They will NOT vaporize your entire body. Having shot woodchucks from a VERY long distance, I can tell you that there is very little damage to the carcass...

    Ban .50 cal rifles in America to prevent cartel violence (in Mexico?)

    I left a comment on the article in the link from Zerex....it probably won't get posted....it may have been a little too critical of the author, claiming that every single one of his answers were made-up hogwash.

    Ban .50 cal rifles in America to prevent cartel violence (in Mexico?)

    I agree. I know that NYS has been trying to find a way to ban the .50 BMG but every attempt wound up including other guns and nothing ever got passed. When Canada passed their ban a couple years ago, they acomplished it by using a joules of energy threshold. That had me worried that NYS...

    What will happen if NY pass the bill to Ban Glocks?

    NYS will trade you. They will take your Glock, all the magazines, and any and all accessories you might have. In return, they will issue you a coupon for $100 off the purchase of any Hi-Point handgun. However, you still have to pay the fee to remove the Glock from your permit, another fee...

    Reasonably Priced Picatinny Optics for KSG Short Range Shotgun

    The best thing you could possibly put on a KSG would be a Holosun 510c. Red or green, your choice. After that, put a Streamlight TLR2 HL G on the bottom rail right in front of your vertical grip. The only thing left would be a great sling. I would consider a convertable sling that can be...

    CBS: Biden may allow Palestinians to immigrate from Gaza to US

    There's a reason that NO OTHER COUNTRY in the mideast wants Palestinians to immigrate to their country. Egypt said "No" several times. Iran, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Yemen, and the Saudis have ALL said they don't want them. But we have to show the world just how big hearted we are ! This is...

    SCOTUS Agrees to Hear Ghost Gun Rule - Garland v. Vanderstok

    I have to think it will be a 5-4 decision in our favor, simply because a gun can be made out of common parts found in every hardware store. They can't consider pipe fittings not to be "guns" and at the same time call a solid hunk of aluminum that is externally shaped but requires precise and...

    Red Dot opinions for Glock 43x MOS

    I don't know what footprint your Glock has, but I have a Vortex Defender on one of my carry guns and a Holosun 407 on another. I also have a Leupold Delta-point. The Vortex is an OK sight, nothing fancy about it. It works well, but the auto shut-off is useless. It's supposed to shut off...

    'I don't need them'; Maryland residents turn in 150 firearms at gun buyback event

    Several years ago I offered ( for a fee, of course ) to allow a bunch of my VERY SCARY looking guns to be photographed for a local "buy-back" event. I did this because I'm friends with a local politician (who shall go un-named) that was making a point that these "buy-back" events were just for...

    What are your favorite Dies

    I would urge you to stay away from small base dies unless you NEED them. They are really only for autoloaders, not to be used for bolt action guns. Also, your groups will be better if the cartridge more closely fits the chamber than if it fits like a hotdog in a hallway. Precision shooters...

    What are your favorite Dies

    I have dies from Redding, RCBS, Hornady, Lyman and Lee. I think the Redding dies produce the most consistant results, but are expensive. RCBS and Hornady are both fine for most reloaders. The Lyman dies I have are very old, but work well and I don't reload those calibers enough to justify...

    What is the most powerful, commonly available, short action cartridge?

    Hands down, the most available cartridge would be the .308 Win. You can buy .308 ammo at EVERY gun store, and half of the gas stations you pass. It's not the most powerful, but it's certainly capable of taking any animal that walks this region. With bullet weights ranging from 110gr to...
