UPS lost my rifle!
Anytime you ship a firearm through UPS, always insure it for +$5000. It will then be considered a "High Value" package, and get basically hand carried through the system, hand placed on trucks (with location noted), and marked with red hi-viz tape to distinguish it, just in case it finds its... -
VZ 52 at Czechpoint
I got the e-mail as well. I was thinking about getting one myself, but I was also wondering about the "good" rating. $295-$320 isn't horrible, especially with the extra parts. But I think I'm gonna look around and pick up one I know is in outstanding condition.- DarthZed

Corrosive Ammo-What to clean
Water works fine to dissolve the corrosive salts in the primers. But if you're anal (like me), you can use a 90/10 mix of water/Ballistol. This is convenient when at the range since after the water evaporates, the Ballistol remains and protects the metal. Useful if you don't want to immediately...- DarthZed

New life to a mosin
Geeze, guys. There were what? 27 million of these things made? What does it matter if someone wants to refinish one, especially if it was in rough shape to start with. It's a $150ish dollar rifle. A little perspective please. Now don't get me wrong, as a pilot, I want to cry when I read that a...- DarthZed

Howdee from Howard County !
Unfortunately, that's true of both parties. Something else on the list of "Things that need changing". Between gerrymandering, super delegates, lobbyists, and money in politics; it's a wonder we still consider ourselves a democratic country.- DarthZed

ObamaCare Q&A
The problem with lowering responsibility to the state level is the issue of undue influence. Insurance companies (or any large corporation) often span multiple states, regions, and even countries. They can afford to pressure for legislation favorable to them, even if it is detrimental to the...- DarthZed

ObamaCare Q&A
Most of the ACA is made up of cost controls (which kick-in incrementally over the next few years). The argument is that once implemented, the rate of increase will slow dramatically. It is a big convoluted law (it had to be to wind it's way through all the special interests and get enough votes...- DarthZed

PSL Recievers
Really? I thought as long as you had a receipt that was dated before Oct 1 you were good. Well, that certainly simplifies things. I was going to buy the receiver, and then locate a cheap PSL to use like a parts kit to construct a gun later on the registered receiver. Guess I can stop worrying... -

PSL Recievers
I've been looking for one as well. I'm just short on funds atm, or I'd have already bought a PSL. Offered the guy with the one for sale in the classifieds a trade for my almost new 556 SWAT, straight up; but he wasn't interested. Guess he wanted cash instead. TN Guns has PSL/FPK receivers in... -
Quick Question
I might be moving to TX for year doing a contracting gig. Now you can go to gun shows down there and buy weapons pretty easily (oftentimes without even showing ID). But if I did so, what are the rules for returning to MD with those firearms? Unregulated rifles/shotguns won't be a problem I would... -

UN Arms Treaty Update
Why is everyone STILL up in arms over this? It has been covered in MULTIPLE posts (I've posted links to primary source material that disproves all these conspiracy theories before). The UN Arms Treaty deals with international arms sales. The treaty will have no effect on US arms sales (except...- DarthZed

ObamaCare Q&A
If it goes into effect? You mean when. It is the law of the land, and has been validated by the Supreme Court. I doubt anything is going to change that in a week. :)- DarthZed

student suspended for playing with pellet gun KNOWN to be a toy
Yeah, the fact that it happened at/near a bus stop, might make a difference. Did the kid intend to bring the gun to school? You could argue that, since he might not have had time to run back inside to put the gun away when the school bus arrived. And bringing something like that to school would... -
7.62 vs 5.45mm AK

Vortex Strikefire v. Vortex Sparc
I also agree with Nemesis. Spend a little extra and get an Aimpoint. Honestly, I much prefer my EoTechs for usability. They have a huge field of view, and have very little bulk to obstruct your sight picture. I also like the 1MOA dot within the ring reticule that is available. The only downside... -
PMC Bronze 223 $7.99 Cabelas
I've used tons of X-TAC with no issues at all. But then I haven't bought any lately. At least 5.56 ammo is becoming more available, and prices are approaching normal. -
Someone please buy this PSL before I do
That is the one gun I was tempted to get instead of the Tavor. I'd buy it in a heartbeat, but being between jobs, just can't swing it atm. :(
