For my rifles, I still like my Harris bipods. They are sturdy, light and always with you. I have thought about making my own set of sticks for shooting my pistol this coming deer season.

I possibly owe my life to the Oly Arms carbine that I used when I was on SWAT. It went bang when I needed it to. I think that they are all good, some may be better. I liked Oly Arms and some liked the Bushmaster. I have spent some time with an original Colt M16 and an Armalite as well. I could not s...

Must have been a new regulation after you got out of LE. We got cards from the feds that stipulate what needed to be done when a foreign national was arrested. If I am ignorant as to what the current law says, please let me know.

Lemme tell ya, anytime a foreign national is arrested, there is a LOT of paperwork to do and hoops in which to jump through. You MUST contact the foreign consulate and you MUST allow the arrestee to talk to them. It's a big pain in the butt. :cry:

I have done the same thing. My mom used to chew my A55 when I dropped .22lr shells on the floor. It would really make her mad when she vacuumed. Never had one go off though. :)

I will also mourn for this country's losses, both in the Homeland and on foreign soil due to the war with our enemies. I would like to administer some retribution of my own today. Oh well, I will just do my part to keep my little slice of the pie running as it should.

If you are talking about the night sights that are the like of Trijicon and meprolite, then yes, they will glow for years without any charging. Tritium is an isotope of Helium that has a half life of around 12 years. That means theoretically, they will be half as bright in about 12 years. Tritium is...

Ruger .41 mag Blackhawk 4 5/8" shooting 215gr cast at about 1145fps. The only thing that I had to defend myself against has been a 50# Alligator snapping turtle. He was mean, lemme tell ya.

I have the Leverscout mount, Leupold QD rings and a Leupold scout scope on the Guide Gun. I LOVE this setup. It is very accurate and is very easy on the eyes. http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l147/jengel300/leverguns%20stuff/DSC00676.jpg http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l147/jengel300/leverguns%20...

Golden, CO Coors beer, foothills just west of Denver, School of Mines, great place to live.
I went to Golden one several years ago for a Colt M-16 Armorer's school at the CSP Academy. I wanted to go to the Coors plant but it had closed for the evening. Nice town.

Looks almost like the Thompson TCR, doesn't it? Looks like a good rifle to me. Price wouldn't be too out of line either.

I sure like my Trails End model with round barrel and tang safety. Shot this deer with 300gr Oregon Trail cast bullet at about 100 long paces.

I like Gunbroker. Plan on spending $50 more than purchase price due to their shipping costs (if any) and the fee that FFL dealers usually charge to receive incoming firearms. I have sold several guns on there. Make sure that you are honest about any problems with your guns and always ask lots of que...
