This is actually not true... here are the stories not being talked about... Airbus... yes Airbus, the French/German airplane manufacturer is building a plant in the United States. HP is moving more stuff back here. Siemens is moving here. Guys, lets be honest... globalization is here to stay and business will move from where it is less efficient to produce to where it is more efficient to produce. If a company is producing rubber dog crap... why pay someone here $20 an hour when you can pay someone 1/4 of that wage overseas? Then you save a butt load on taxes that the employers face. And guess what... prices go up if we produce all the stuff here. Why are gas prices so much higher now than in the years past? Because feel good legislation passes that says that we need to subsidize our farms so we have ethanol from Corn.... at a much higher price, to be put into gas. US farmers are setting aside crops for gas, instead of growing crops for food consumption because the taxpayers are bailing them out.... meanwhile... a more effective ethanol production platform exists in Brazil, at a far lower cost. As a GE shareholder... I would be happy with the move. Whats more american? A Chrysler assembled in Canada, with an engine from Mexico, or a Ford Fusion from Mexico? or a Toyota Camry made in the United States with 80% American made parts? How about a BMW x3 and x5 made in South Carolina? The fact is... companies will always move operations in order to maximize efficiency, increase profits, and reduce costs for everyone. Being "protectionist" with policies will only work in the short term, but over time... the protectionist countries will fall out of sync, and where the people will get hurt is going outside the country. Don't get me wrong, if all the borders were shut, no one was let in or out, no products were imported.... sure it may work... but in reality... with commerce, it is a losing proposition.

Will wait for Shane... but weren't there issues with 338 Lapua in the Rem 700 action?

Actually I do wonder... exactly what features will be on these guns... closer to GI spec... or a loaded gun. =) Everyone should have a 1911 or 5.

just came to me... the whole 1911 vs tupperwear thing is like the car thing... there is no replacement for displacement. =)

What? a 1911 will have much higher costs to produce and buy than a piece of tupperwear. And lets be honest... if you take a look at the competition circles... by far the vast majority of the guns are 1911 design, with a lot of CZ based guns. Furthermore, I would easily argue that the 1911 does not need any more or less training than any other gun. 1911 being SA is a lot easier to shoot more accurately, has a far better trigger, and can be completely stripped in the field with no tools, using the gun parts themselves as all the required tools. Does it take a few more mins to clean? Sure... but there is no other gun I would rather "go to" than a 1911/2011 or like it.

The ones I have seen, not that reliable.

Depends on bullet design... if you are carrying for defense... use defensive ammo. Any ball ammo can over penetrate. 40 S&W would have more energy... but any defensive round, like an expanding hollow point, or a regular hollow point would cause more damage, and should penetrate less... ie, not going to go through 5 walls.

lol. finger discipline... bothered me at times... but was funny. =)

what is the size of the pic? Make sure it is a .jpg not .jpeg. =) Worst case, upload it offline, to a site like photobucket, and link it to your profile.

Thats actually a pretty good price, consider scrap yards are about $1.50 per lb. But inreality... just sell the brass yourself if you are not going to use it... $30/k is the going rate for 9, 40, 45. a piece of 40 cal brass is about 4.57 grams, so about 100 pieces of brass per lb.... so $15 in scrap value for 1k pieces of 40 cal. You can sell it as brass for $30 per k... or double that.

Check EBSC and Bullseye Tactical, I believe they had Mosin's last time I checked. You can also do a firearms price request, I am sure one of the dealers here has them in stock. K98's will be alot tougher as there are no importers right now of K98's with original markings... last ones were Russian Capture K98's.

What an awesome day and squad. =) Luv ya guys. =P Get rid of humidity and would of been totally awesome.

I will say, Shongum is the best first match for people to come and shoot. We had at least 6 or 7 new shooters today, all shot safely and took their time, a few forum members iirc. Beyond that, just hollar, come out to the range ahead of time with a forum member, watch the videos posted here and you will be in good shape. As long as you can safely draw from a holster, do mag changes, and move with a handgun with finger off the trigger, you will be fine... it is not a competition the first few matches.

In theory, the PD is only supposed to confirm that you work there. In reality, I have seen Jersey City demand your boss have the form notarized stating why you should own a gun.

Shongum.... very much so.

What a gorgeous looking gun.!

No clue... but is typically one of the pistol stages modified for shotgun. Will skip Nick, thank you though for the offer.

congrats and thanks for the hard work Frank!

Recently partnered with US Airways, giving away some miles. =) http://www.maksfs.com/usairways/

I currently do not own a shotgun... go figure. =P

It was taken down for a great reason a while ago. A few of those vendors who were shipping to NJ without requiring documents.... got nasty calls from state ag and police iirc. They went straight down the list. We were making it too easy.

Fort Dix... but for rifle, has to be back at 200 yard line. Not sure about pistol range. You really ought to try steel matches, very low key, simple and fun. Old Bridge rifle and pistol, and CJRPC typically run them a few times a month.

and for rifle fun..

Outdoor ranges... buy your own steel targets... or.... Go look into IDPA and USPSA.... run and gun. Check out the Competitive Shooting section here.
