Trump or no Trump, it has to pass the House and the Senate first. If you want it, you should mail a letter to your Congresscritters. They ignore email, pretend to listen to phone calls, don't even print faxes. Real mail followed by a phone call works best.

Could be wimpy ammo or dirty gun. Stovepipes are almost always caused by a failure to completely eject the fired case. I've noticed several manufacturers selling less powerful ammo than they used to. I fired many thousands of rounds of Aguila 124gr 9mm that had been chronographed at about 1200fps from my CZ75. The last case I bought was really weak, barely holding 1100fps. Penny wise and Pound foolish as the Brits used to say.

If you keep your eyes open, you can find a decent original 1911 for under $1000.You can be assured that as long as you take care of it, you will never lose your money on it!

Seriously. All that buildup for a seemingly normal AR15. Yawn.

Remington Rolling Block! Forgot about that one. Many were made in 7mm Mauser. Some were made in 8mm Lebel. Very strong action.

Here's a quick list off the top of my head: Mauser 1894 7mm Mauser 1896 broomhandle Mosin nagant rifle Nagant revolver Krag Jorgensen rifle Colt 1878 and other pre 1899 revolvers Level 1886 rifle Level 1892 revolver A little research will dig up many other possibilities.

Nothing loads simple pistol ammo faster than the SDB! At least nothing without spending four times as much money. I leave mine set up for 9mm. Changing calibers is not hard. But caliber choices are limited because the SDB does not use standard died. I found the powder measure to be pretty accurate. I check the throw weight once every 50rds, and it doesn't change.

The Reloading Bench in Mount Juliet carries Dillon products. Also, everything else you will need for reloading.

Hmmm, Ruger copies the FN FNS 9mm compact and calls it 'new'. Seems that I've heard that song from them before.

There is not a more versatile handgun than a 4-5" barrel .357 revolver. I'd go for quality. The Colt Trooper III or earlier models are still kind of reasonable. The Manurhin M73 was a pleasure to shoot. A bunch were imported a couple years ago. And a pre-1980 Colt Python is probably the best revolver made in the US. But prices on those are over $2000 for a good one.

The 10mm is far and away the best caliber for a pistol-caliber carbine. I've always thought it would be a great SMG cartridge. I also appreciate the KRISS Erma PM-9 inspired operation. But, that is one butt-ugly gun!!!

Hmm, reasons NOT to buy? Big, heavy and limited use .40 short&weak. All the stopping power of the 45 and the penetration of the 9mm. Tall sights made for snagging on stuff. Aside from that, if you want it and can afford it, Get it.

I'd take those reports of WallyWorld not carrying .22 with a very large grain of salt. I suspect that when production catches up with demand, you'll see it in those stores.

Only if the cartridge contains more than 109 grains of powder. Less than a 1/4 ounce of explosive is not regulated. Even the huge .600 Nitro Express cartridge only uses 100 grains of powder. The .50BMG uses about 250grains for comparison.

It's much more accurate to say the Ruger and Taurus are almost the same as the Keltec. The Keltec was out several years before the other two came along. I have a Keltec and quickly learned that it likes hot ammo. As long as I don't try to use the low power target loads it runs perfectly.

Post the pictures and we'll give it a good try? If you haven't already looked here, it's a pretty good primer on the Rolling Block. Amazing service longevity from 1865 - 1918. Especially considering that it spanned from the muzzle-loading era into the smokeless repeating rifle era. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remington_Rolling_Block_rifle

The original AR10 was designed and built by the Armalite division of Fairchild Aircraft in the late '50's. production was moved to Artillerie Inrichtingen in Holland, About 8000 rifles were built in several configurations. The last and largest purchase was by Portugal to arm their paratroopers. These rifles were used to great effect in the wars in Angola and Mozambique until they ran out of spare parts and had to re-arm with the G3. Later Mark Westrom bought the Armalite name and the rights to manufacture .308 rifles. these rifles have no interchangeable parts with the original AR10s and use the AR15 fire control and modified M-14 magazines. This company still owns the rights to the name 'Armalite' and also 'AR-10'. Eventually, other companies started to produce .308 rifles using the Stoner system and features. While many shooters generically call these 'AR10's', they cannot have that name due to the Armalite copyright. The original Dutch-made AR10's are the only rifles that can claim non-Spec-Ops combat use as they were issued and used by soldiers in Central America, Africa, and a few even showed up in Vietnam, Typically the countries that had them quit using them when they wore out from use. MY AR10? It's a Portuguese model built on a semi-only receiver. Then only reason it doesn't go to the range with me every trip is the afore-mentioned shortage of spare parts. It's an amazing rifle!!!! http://www.ar10.nl/Portuguese.html What else do you want to know?

Keep in mind that early Colt AR15s are now C&R. Anything made in 1966 or earlier is a C&R. LOTS to choose from there!

Very nice pistols with a good trigger. Do not dry fire it. They break firing pins when you do. New-made firing pins are available, though.

Look all you like. It doesn't matter where you get your appetite as long as you go home for dinner!

There's been a good but of discussion about this ever since the first steel cased ammo showed up about 20 years ago. Usually with pistol ammo the problem is associated with two factors. First, steel cases don't expand like brass, so gas blows back down the side of the case because of a poor seal. Second, the ammo is pretty dirty. So you get a lot of powder residue building up in the chamber. It seems like the lower the chamber pressure, the worse the problem. I saw a lot more buildup of cr@p with .45 than with 9mm.

Hmmm, reminder to self: Don't type with my foot in my mouth. Doh.

What are you using for magazines? I've thought about a 10mm AR, but the lack of larger mags stopped me. I've heard that M3 Grease Gun mags work with 10mm. Anyone know for certain?

What about shooters with their own guns? Will there be spots on the line where we can shoot? Or this a spectator and rental event only?

I'd be inclined to go with a classic. American firearms from the 1920s through about 1970 were the finest quality mass production arms ever made. You really can't go wrong with a Colt revolver or 1911a1 or S&W revolver of that period. For outside the box, an early FN made Hi Power or WWII Luger might be a neat heirloom.
