A ruger 10/22 seems almost inevitable. For now, I went with a lever action in 22 to compliment my single six

Wow. I think he realized what just happened after the fact lol bad time to be on auto pilot...

Nope. Best thing to do is to show things you want to your FFL and have them confirm what is or can be made legal. Otherwise, you risk doing nothing but adding to your FFL's collection of non-compliant firearms.

Where is there ANYTHING about that? All this "Gun safety" , "gun violence protection", etc. has 100% focus on creating annoyance and 0% focus on how to actually deal with problems.

Considering we're in the "absolutely some are going to pass" phase... Ugh. It is a little depressing reading about "assault weapons". If this doesn't illustrate "give them an inch and they take a mile" then nothing will. Also, "democrats" don't care about democracy.

Yeah, though this is impossible to enforce—even compared to magazine limits—people would surely do all in their knowledge to comply. Not sure if the consequences are available yet for microstamping but... isn't that nutty? That's more serious than it usually is for people that are caught with illegal guns!

I just ordered a H001T actually WIll report back how I like it! Between that and my single six, I might start feeling like a cowboy...

Every time I see De Blasio in the news I keep thinking, "Is he still in office? Isn't someone else supposed to be mayor now?" Not that I have high hopes, but he's making a dramatic exit for sure! During one of the storms last year I lost power for about two weeks. If I didn't have a gas stove I would starve to death. I think something people forget about electricity is that it needs to be generated and the means of delivery need to be produced, transported, and installed using heavy machinery. It's never a "clean" process. Compare it to the marginal difference in pollution from the average household's year of cooking, it can't be a huge improvement. The bigger problem with NYC buildings is most of them are pre war and falling apart on the inside. I can't imagine any landlord wanting to do any major changes if it means they have to buy everyone expensive electric ranges.

Alright, alright... I give in. After a few months of thinking about it, I just went and bought a single six. I chose it over the "new model" in the same shop because I like the feeling of the action more. Very easy and smooth cocking.

I think a lot of people, gun owners included, neglect how much cognitive effort it takes to actually reach the gun in an emergency. ~10-15 years ago I thought it was a bit overboard to have the gun on/near you at all times at home. But... I mean, it's like a fire extinguisher. If you can't get it when you need it, it's just a range toy or conversation piece.

Thanks for the feedback guys! I saw a used Marlin at a local shop for ~800, though the stock's a bit beat up. I forget the model, but I'll give it another look to see if it's worth it or not. I'll check out more Winchesters to compare.

Yes in the worst it is a perverse way to punish people for defending themselves. The DA will go "Oh, you had all the time in the world to unlock the maze to your weapon... so your life was not in danger"

Hey all, Looking for a nicely valued "lots of fun at the range" kind of gun. Any thoughts? I see a bunch of Henry model 001T for 400-500 on Gunbroker. Is that price range worth it or would something else be a better value?

Oh that's whacky. I haven't ordered optics on Amazon, but I was able to order things like choke tubes and a flashlight without issue.

I fondled a single-six yesterday. It's comfy, with a satisfying hammer cock. Though I quickly learned what a PITA it is to load a single action only revolver. I think though practicality might win and I'll go with a striker-fired 9mm to complement my Beretta. The wranglers aren't going anywhere. I'll report back I might pick up a Henry lever action to get my 22LR fix.

The problem with masks is it's like everything else with government. As soon as you give a little, it landslides. The mask itself isn't a big deal, but then when you're forced to vaccinate or be removed from society... that's a problem. And on top of it, my smart phone constantly bugs me to install a COVID tracking app. It's all a gateway to more tracking and control under the guise of helping people. There's no reason this system couldn't apply to gun control or just plain political disagreement. Not vaccinated? Buying cases of ammo? Let's keep track of you and everyone you interact with.

Imagine the price gouging on local ammo when you have no other choice...

Does this exempt online retailers or does this basically mean you can't order anything online because nobody out of this state will deal with this nonsense? An open invitation to knock on gun shops doors anytime just to review who bought a case of 22 today.... nuts!

I'm not sure what I was expecting, but for everything to pass committee is a little disappointing. I also did my part to write and got similar responses.

This cracked me up

So basically... people in California won't be able to buy parts for guns? There's a foreseeable future where people end up paying a premium for their new handgun with microstamping, only to have to throw it away when the micro stamp wears out because they can't buy a new firing pin. No retailer that sells anything gun-related would want to sell to CA out of fear of being sued. Even Amazon sells things like grips and choke tubes... I guess no more Amazon in CA! Sue the gangs!

Ain't that the truth. And to think that this was in broad daylight with customers in the shop... it sounds like they've done everything reasonable to protect the business, including being armed in Chicago of all places.

That's actually reassuring. I've considered the Vaquero which has to be filed down and that bugs me. The wranglers seem pretty easy to find. I'm going to my nearest shop tomorrow for some inspiration.
