8 boxes of Winchester Silvertips came with the rifle. To me that doesn't sound like a lot, but I can remember my grandfather buying one box of .300 Savage rounds for his Model 1899., maybe every 8 or 10 years. And he filled his tag every year.

My father gave this to me a few days ago and I know absolutely nothing about Savage rifles. It is a Model 1899, .303 Savage caliber, and I have been able to find out it was made in 1911. It looks like a pretty rare piece, as you can see from the pictures and as for it's value, I have no idea. If...

I have a SCCY and I have had no issue with mine, either.

Are we sure it was a world class fuck up? Why couldn't there be an anti-Trump mole in his administration looking to sabotage everything possible?

We can't teach people who don't want to learn. Friends who are teacher say they do crowd control, appease the overwhelming majority of students that don't want to be there so hopefully they might be able to reach that one student who does want to learn.

Quoting FP1201; " they would have to be surrendered to a Law Enforcement Agency, and you can bet that'll be a shit-show." I have a friend who moved back to NYS and turned his pistols in to the State Police till he got his permit. When he came back to retrieve them there was no record of them...

I used to date a woman from Poland, she graduated from secondary school in 1978 and emigrated to the US around 1990. As part of the requirements of graduation she had to be able to field strip and reassemble and AK47, blindfolded. When I hooked up with her in 2001 she still could.

From the article: "The cost of food jumped 2.1 percent and the cost of shelter 4.9%, according to the October data." I wonder if the real data will ever come out.

Only because there was no opportunity to. Had we invaded the Japanese Islands they most certainly would have done so.

Japan didn't because of the atomic bomb. At the end of the Guadalcanal Campaign Japanese soldiers were reduced to cannibalism. They still did not surrender. When it was decided to evacuate as many Japanese soldiers as could be done they were told they were being picked up and put on barges to...

Mutually Assured Destruction and the fact that Japan had no nuclear weapons is irrelevant. In Bruce Lee's book, Marching Orders, he mentions that US ships off the coast of Okinawa had enough rolling stock, railroad ties, switching equipment, literally everything needed to rebuild and replace...

He was cuffed. He just refuses to come back to NYS. It sucks, but I don't blame him.

Perhaps. The question is, does the NYS Police give a shit?

My son lives in Pennsylvania and the last 3 times he has come to visit the troopers have pulled him over for not having a license plate on the front of his car. They have all argued with him, told him he was wrong and when he googled it on his cell phone they were less than pleased. Twice he was...

I was in my local gunshop this afternoon when a firearms instructor for the NYSP was denied when he wanted to buy a box of .308s. He was pissed!

My 10 year old grandson calls then Wood Puppies!

I bet the takeover was mostly peaceful, too.

Nothing new. Eisenhower sent units of the 101st Airborne to help force desegregation, and at least 2 US civilians were killed by them. During the race riots in the 1960's we had US Army units patrolling cities and firing on and killing rioters.

That, or he just couldn't find it and it is still leaning against that big rock. When I was a teenager I and a friend found an old Remington Rolling Block carbine leaning against an old tree. Part of the barrel was grown into the tree. We got it out and the things was all rusted to hell. No idea...

I agree with you 100% and got into an argument with a trooper when I called the Albany hotline over it. He said that the gun case must be secured to the vehicle, preferably by welding it to the trunk floor or using a cable to secure it. When I asked if he was really serious about welding the...

Show me where one loses their right to self-defense while in an automobile. The law is about storing an unattended firearm when left in a vehicle. Let me post the section of the law regarding unattended firearms in vehicles, and you can point out the section where one loses the right to...

It can get you a ticket for an obstructed windshield. One of those Baby on Board stickers people put on the rear windows can, too. Don't ask how I know.

What [art of this did you miss? We are talking about a guy who left his rifle in his truck, not his home. Safe Handling and Storage Law How does the new law impact transporting guns in a vehicle?

The guy is screwed. The law is quite plain about leaving a firearm unattended in a vehicle. In a ditch, out of gas, prior arrests with no conviction, it doesn't matter. Safe Handling and Storage Law How does the new law impact transporting guns in a vehicle? Effective September 1, 2022, if you...

I don't know about you guys but I sure feel a lot safer now.

The FBI has always been corrupt. It has been used by Presidents agaisnt their enemies, real or imagined, since at least FDR and by Hoover agaisnt everyone till the day he died.

It's not the second night in a row that there was gunfire in Newburgh. It's just the second night in a row it's been reported. I used to work in that cesspool.

Well, I guess that explains why the bar I tend at has been slow.

I don't know, but there is no way it's only 2 to 3%.

Wait till we see what the real rate of inflation is after the election.

Police say the victim is suspected to be in stable condition. That's a strange way to phrase it.

That's the funniest thing I have seen on the internet in at least 20 minutes.

From the Los Angeles Times: By Michael FinneganStaff Writer March 23, 2018 8 AM PT Share A former Playboy model recalled having sex with Donald Trump dozens of times in the early years of the president’s marriage to Melania Trump, sharing elaborate details of what she described as a 10-month...

I know a lot of poor, working class guys that have done that, too. My oldest stepdaughter's now ex-husband didn't just fuck around on her while she was pregnant, he bought home an STD for her as a gift.

You don't think cheating on your wife while she is pregnant is a pretty low-class thing to do?

When my son was in high school he waited tables in a local restaurant that Trump and his family frequent. My son says he is funny, gracious, not at all entitled and a great tipper. His Secret Service? Not so much.

Weird, isn't it, how Harris gets beat up all the time for her sexual past and the same people who despise Harris for that give Trump a pass when he is even worse in that aspect.

The one thing that turned the red wave into a faded pink trickle in the midterm elections was the Dodd decision. The Democrats have been able to turn the Supreme Court decision to send the abortion issue to the individual states into the narrative that Trump singlehandedly took the right to an...

You guys think government surveillance is something new? 30 some years ago a friend of mine talked me into FOILing the FBI to see if they had a file on me. I had never been arrested, did not serve in the military and while I traveled around the country a lot, I think I had led a pretty mild...

Life sometimes throws curveballs at people. I had to drain my 401K to pay for a lawyer, private investigator and forensic psychologist when I went for custody of my son. It damn near drove me into bankruptcy but I would do it all over again. I won, and it was worth every penny. So now I am...

47 years old, he just threw away his reputation, career and retirement. What a dumbass.

After the Democrats win the election, and I fear they will, I wonder what the "adjusted" real rate of inflation will be.

In the early 90's a friend of mine moved back to NY from Oklahoma. He had a Colt Python and a Belgian Browning Hi-Power that we considered putting on my pistol permit while he applied for his. For whatever reason he decided to turn the handguns in to be held by the State Police. He got paperwork...

True, no one forces them to stay. But here in Sullivan County a CO can make well over $100,000 a year with overtime. Not many high school graduates without nothing but that HS diploma will ever make that kind of money.

A sergeant at Woodbourne Correctional Facility, which is next to Sullivan CF told me Woodbourne will most likely be closed in the next year, too. He has 14 months to retire and can't wait. He has been out on sick leave for the past 2 weeks after getting his ass kicked by 2 inmates. He is facing...

Under Islamic fundamentalism if a woman is raped and cannot provide 4 witnesses saying she was, she would be executed.

Agreed. Anyone who thinks Harris is a fool should check out some of the YouTube videos before she became VP. She is a much more polished public speaker than Trump and will make him look like an idiot in a debate, and Trump will help her. Remember, half the voters of this country despise Trump...

I have handled a couple of the new Pythons and they are but a pale shadow in comparison to my Python I bought in 1978. The 686 is a far more robust revolver that will outlast the new Pythons and, sadly, mine, too. Old Pythons are beautiful works of art. They just don't hold up as well as the L...

Hochul's Concealed Carry Improvement Act is working just as she planned.
