W2MC

Lets see if I understand this....a monument that is usually open to the air 24/7, open to the public to just stroll around, and very lightly manned (usually just security) by the Park Service is now barricaded-off, with the barricades monitored by security??? Am I missing something here?

Worth $20; not $20 off.

S&W Model 41 - I was on the pistol team in college, and purchased it several months after graduation. About 50,000 rounds later, I am considering sending it back to S&W for a re-build.

I just got several boxes of Rio "reduced recoil" 00 buck at the Valley Forge show...I kinda like it. Not too hard on the shoulder, and patterned fine thru a modified choke at 50 yards. I'd like to get more.

Doh!!!! GONE

A lot of the gear needs/desires depend more on what sort of hunting you plan to do. Assuming you're talking deer...is it going to be stand hunting, still hunting, drive hunting, up in a tree, on the ground, by yourself, with others? Depending on what you plan to do, the gear needs and the wants change-sometimes dramatically. (And of course there's a whole lot more "want" than "need".)

That would almost make it boring. Cabela's isn't just going to a store...its an event.

Let me know when you can't stand looking at it anymore....

Join the local volunteer fire company....or the ambulance squad.

hmm...you're right. only $25 for rifles/shotguns...but $100 for a .25? wonder what a LNIB raven goes for on gunbroker....

Every time these come up I wonder if I should go clean-out the crap and dump it on the state for more than its worth... Has anyone actually done this? Taken some crappy .25, or a rusted-out shotgun to one of these events?

Most likely the poll is made with "Do you still beat your wife?" type questions.

Mine? Well, I have had the usual nonsense of getting my fingers caught where they weren't supposed to be - hammers, slides, etc; but one stands out in my mind. This was years ago...my SKS - I had just added a one-inch rubber extension onto the stock (which is a nice addition, BTW). I took the SKS up from my basement shop, upstairs to the second floor where I kept the firearms. Before putting it away, I got the cleaning accessory kit, and pushed it into the stock thru the hole in the rubber extension. Well...because of the tight clearance of the hole in the rubber - the trapdoor caught my index finger. So there I was...with my SKS hanging from my finger, the SHARP edge digging itself into that painful little area just above the nail/cuticle. So back down two flights of stairs to the shop in the basement, dig out the screwdriver, and take the whole thing (rubber and metal buttplate) OFF the SKS - with my weak hand, of course, and FINALLY relieve the pressure on my finger. And no, I have NEVER tried to put that little cleaning kit into the *&^# little hole again...

Did you read how the question was worded? "Aaron Alexis, the shooter in Monday's Navy Yard shootings in Washington, D.C., had a troubled and background that included violent outbursts, yet he was able to purchase the guns used in the massacre, in which he shot and killed 12 people and was then gunned down by police. He was able to buy the shotgun used in the killings in Virginia using out-of-state identification, but that should have precluded him from buying a handgun." Note that he was able to "purchase the GUNS.....that should have precluded him from BUYING a handgun"...last time I checked, he took the handgun from a security guard after he shot him.

Let us all know if you get anywhere with Cabela's They didn't do crap for me when I complained about their corrosive (but boxed as "non-corrosive") 7.62x39.....

12 years later.....the anger still burns.

Interesting idea...that makes double-sure she will fire, AND eliminates the different impact point from an un-fouled bore. I'll have to try that....

I think they will be good for years and years. What makes him think they won't store that long?

This thread inspired me to take my muzzleloader out on Sunday afternoon. Unfortunately, I started-off with a misfire for the first round - in my hurry, I neglected to wipe the bore, and it took several caps to burn-thru whatever oil had accumulated and fire the first loading. After that, it was "click-bang!" for the rest of the afternoon. I was a bit concerned with the first few rounds - I wasn't seeing any holes in the target. For the 4th or 5th round, I intentionally shot high, and all of a sudden...a hole appeared on the paper. Seems the gun was keeping all the shots in the black, and I couldn't see 'em! Overall, I was very happy... Thompson Center .54 cal New Englander, 50 grains Pyrodex RS shooting T/C Maxi Balls

Woman Stops Grizzly Attack With .25 Cal Pistol This is a story of self control and marksmanship with an itsy bitsy shooter, by a woman against a fierce predator. What is the smallest caliber you trust to protect yourself? The Beretta Jetfire "While hiking in Alberta, Canada, with my boyfriend we were surprised by a huge grizzly bear charging us from out of no where. She must have been protecting her cubs because she was extremely aggressive. If I had not had my little Beretta Jetfire with me, I would not be here today! Just one shot to my boyfriend's knee cap was all it took… The bear got him, and I was able to escape by just walking away at a brisk pace. It's one of the best pistols in my collection."

Look at the feet on him! He's goin' to be BIG....

Aww....you're killin me! My current ride - an '82 Gold Wing Interstate - is currently accusing me of neglect! It's been waiting for me to change-out the head gasket for a year now. It has a very slow coolant leak - to the outside, thankfully - on the right head; right where it would get your right foot wet!

Interesting. I took a look at their website, They state that: We asked our members to help us determine the agenda. They voted on a host of issues, and identified the following top 7: Fight back against climate change. Support policies to reduce carbon emissions. Tell the scientific truths! Fight Fracking, Tar Sands, Mountain Top Mining and other destructive and carbon intensive activities. Limit the influence of money in politics. Fight to reverse the Citizens United. Support campaign finance reform. Protect a woman's right to reproductive choice. Supporting family planning, education and easy access to health services. Protect the environment, including clean air, water, wildlife habitat and land preservation. Protect the EPA, and prevent the weakening of environmental regulations. Support health care reform. Implement ObamaCare. Fight for real health care reform with universal single payer or public option. Protect civil liberties. Strengthen oversight of the NSA. End the Patriot Act. Protect voting rights. Stop the laws that make it difficult for minorities, elderly and poor citizens to vote. Require electronic voting machines to have verifiable, paper backup. I am having a tough time understanding how they want to "Protect Civil Liberties", yet deny the Second Amendment. I guess the woman you were talking to was free-lancing
