Brilliant marketing gimmick! You forget that with the website, he can plan out his bartering in advance. He will know in advance how much his fuel and lodging will cost and where he will stop. And with almost 3000 20oz bricks, that's a LOT of bartering material! Also, look at it this way; for a mere 3000 samples of the product, they get nationwide advertising. Most companies give away free samples, but this ad campaign pays for itself!

The main range is well past the old barn. The firing line is about 100 yards long, with about 200 yards distance downrange. That was as of June. I have heard that the distance may be longer towards the right side now.

The TSA has yet to catch a single terrorist. Prior to 1968 it was legal to carry your firearms on a plane. Prior to 1968, there was not one single successful hijacking of a US airliner. and yes, there were attempts. Hijacking was a pretty popular way of robbery in the rest of the world at the time. In 1968, Congress decided to make it illegal to have firearms on commercial airliners. Pure coincidence, of course.

Old article, January 2011. I wonder why 'gun crime' is worse than any other crime? Is the murderer who uses a tire iron to bash someone's head in morally superior to the one who shoots his victim? Any time I hear the phrase 'gun crime', I figure it's a propaganda piece.

Couldn't be true. They have gun control up there!

Tennessee law states that your Sheriff MUST sign your Form 1 or 4 unless they know of a reason that you are prohibited from owning firearms. 39-17-1361. Execution of documents by sheriff or chief of police. — The sheriff or chief of police of the city of residence of a person purchasing any firearm, defined by the National Firearms Act, 26 U.S.C. § 5845 et seq., shall execute within fifteen (15) business days of any request all documents required to be submitted by the purchaser if the purchaser is not prohibited from possessing firearms pursuant to § 39-17-1316.

I've got an old mold I use for .38S&W that makes 200gr .362 bullets. When I use 2.5gr of Unique, that replicates the British military load of about 625fps. It's been very accurate from my Webley and S&W revolvers. I only use 148gr wadcutter bullets with the same 2.5gr of Unique in my old Iver Johnson and H&R revolvers. That mold throws bullets .360 in diameter which work fine in those old top-break revolvers without resizing.

The Beretta locking block is taken directly from the P-38. The double-action trigger and safety are also based on the P-38. In fact, if you change the P-38 recoil spring from a dual spring to single larger one under the barrel, and extend the slide to accommodate it, you only have to add a double-column magazine to have the early Beretta 92 model.

Oh, good! I'll be there. Time to crank up the Dillon 550B!

These are the things he has already said he wants to accomplish: Destroying the oil and coal industries Making even more Americans dependent on government Funneling more government money to his supporters at the expense of the economy Suppression of dissent against his policies using DHS, IRS, and other Federal agencies Reduce our military, especially our ability to fight overseas.

The Luger was made in many models and variations, just like most other pistols. The 'P08' is the German military contract model and was made only in 9x19mm. That cartridge was designed specifically for the Luger at the wishes of the German Army who adopted it and the pistol in 1908.

A bunch of racist crap. Blames everything on white folks. The writer ignores inconvenient facts that don't support his argument. Minor things like crime rates (including murder) going down as firearms ownership rises. And that states with shall-issue concealed carry permits have less crime.

Iconic? 1) Luger P-08. THE iconic 9mm 2) Glock 17 or 19. The second most-recognized 9mm. 3) Browning Hi-Power. The most-used 9mm in history. Used as primary military pistol by over 50 countries, innumerable police forces worldwide, and many copies were made, both licensed and unlicensed.

Interesting. I had to double-check as a couple of mine sure looked like it. But you are correct, they are just REALLY shiny!

The bore is probably chromed. Most Soviet small arms after about 1933 had chromed bores. If you get 2-3moa, it's a good shooter. Generally, I've had better results with Czech and Polish ammo than with the Romanian or other Soviet countries' ammo. Here's the resource site for M-N rifles: http://7.62x54r.net/

DO NOT TRY THIS!!! A .50bmg round has as much explosive force as a hand grenade. The .50 cartridge is designed to produce pressures of 54,000psi. The 12ga shotgun is only designed for 15,000psi. Do you see the problem?

In 1981, I found a GI cartridge belt with six loaded BAR mags in it at Ft Hood, TX. Ammo was all headstamped 1942. By the sheerest coincidence, I also had a friend with a live BAR. The last use of a BAR at Ft Hood would have been National Guard troops who had them until about 1964. So these mags had been sitting loaded under the sand through all kinds of weather for somewhere between 17 and 39 years. All six mags were shaken out, wiped off and fired as they were. Every round fired, and every mag worked perfectly. A year later and about two miles away, I found a two-tone 1911 magazine with four rounds in it. Ammo had 1928 headstamps. Again, the magazine worked fine and the ammo fired. Last story. In 1982, as a result of my experiences, I loaded up 21 used USGI 30-rd M-16 magazines and marked each one with a year on the baseplate. They were placed in GI ammo pouches and stored in .50 ammo cans. Starting in 1983, one magazine was fired as rapidly as possible. If available, a full-auto M-16 was used to fire a continuous 30-rd burst. That was possible almost every year. The ONLY failures were due to feed lip cracks on the 1997 and 2001 magazines. The 1997 mag would try to double-feed due the crack, and the 2001 mag spewed all it's rounds out as soon as it was removed from the ammo pouch it lived in. There were no issues due to spring compression. This is not a scientific test, but I have no worries about spring compression failures as long as I don't over-compress springs.

It HAS to be the wrong expander. Steel expander die, rubbing against brass cartridge case = Brass wear, not Steel wear. I have never heard of an expander die wearing out. The only reason steel dies wear out is because of grit and other hard impurities that may get on the brass. With a bit of care to make sure that your brass is clean, your dies will outlast you. I've got a set of 9mm dies I've been using since 1982. I have no idea how many thousand of rounds they've resized! Easily over 60,000! Inside, they still mike like new.

I don't know of anywhere in the Bible where it says not to be armed. I can think of several places where the Bible advises one to have a weapon. Famously, Jesus advises to sell your cloak and buy a sword. Also, several of the disciples had swords at the Garden of Gethsemane after the Last Supper. Since there is no mention that they armed themselves, it is safe to presume that they usually carried swords. I'm not sure where the Christian tradition of leaving weapons outside church came from. Probably from medieval ages when the church was considered a sanctuary against temporal authority. Still, it's a tradition, not a law. I do not advertise the fact that I carry. WalMart, church, wherever. I'm not rich enough to hire bodyguards, and would probably still carry even if I was!

These guns catch a lot of flack. But, they generally do work fairly well for a while. I have one in .32 that actually functioned well. They don't hold up well to much use. Mine started to develop problems after about 500 rounds. It's around somewhere, but I haven't had it out in a long time.

I usually reply with "Thank you for your concern. I am concerned about your (Pick any or all: smoking, horrible driving, poor diet, lack of exercise, filthy home, over-drinking, whoring around, drug abuse, body odor, lice, stealing, etc)". That usually stops the conversation and prevents others from following the same direction.

Keep in mind that the technology does not yet exist to make affordable and usable barrels or bolts with this method. I see that coming down the road, and look forward to it. Gun Control has never worked. Currently, anyone with basic machine tools can make rifles, pistols, or machine guns with just a little effort. In Pakistan they make working full-auto AKs with only hand tools. Does anyone doubt that the average hobby machinist in the US is capable of making any firearm they want? How is 3D printing any different? In the US, as long as you are not making a firearm covered by the National Firearms Act (machine gun, short-barreled rifle or shotgun, or cannon), and it's not made with intent to sell, there are no Federal laws preventing you from making your own firearms. In TN, there are no laws preventing it either. Some other states have restrictions.

There is really only ONE issue; The encroachment of Federal government on individual rights. All other issues are directly related to that. Deficit? Reduce the size of Gov't and that's goes a long way towards reducing the deficit. Economy? Get the Feds and their crippling taxes and regulations out of the way! Gun control? That should be obvious! When is the last time a government attorney argued AGAINST increased regulation? Health Care? Probably the single MOST screwed up industry in the country! Entirely because of government meddling, regulation, and taxing. Get the Feds out of health care and the cost would drop by 30-55% according to various sources!

The lower receiver on an AR is a low-stress part. As mentioned above, the bolt group, barrel, and upper are the parts that contribute to accuracy and durability. The most stressed parts on an AR lower are the front locking pin lugs. That's because people pull the rear pin to open the rifle for cleaning and let the upper swing forward to drop against the magazine well. Some polymer lowers have had issues with that. As an example, I've used a really cheap cast EA Co. lower receiver for my Ferret .50 for over 10 years. It's had well over 500 rounds of .50 BMG put through it. That includes one day where it had over 100rds put through it in a bit over two hours. The lower still looks the same and there have been no cracks or signs of stress. If the .50 BMG isn't putting stress on the lower, the little 5.56mm certainly won't. I built my 6.5 Grendel on a SA&A (Surplus Arms & AMMO) lower. It's been perfectly reliable and more accurate than I am. My wife's XM177E2 clone is built on a Century Arms receiver. Again, it works perfectly and looks fine. The most important aspect of the lower is if everything fits properly. Mags should fit smoothly, but not have too much slop. All internal parts should fit properly and allow perfect functioning. The upper should fit properly and have no slop or wiggle. The bolt carrier should line up properly and slide smoothly into the recoil tube.
