      Rattlesnake Logic

      A great way to explain things. From an email I received this morning: Rattlesnake Logic.... After the Boston bombing the news media spent days and weeks trying to determine why these men did what they did. They want to know what America did(!) to make these brothers so angry with us...

      Springfield Demo Day Saturday

      They had 2 of the M1A rifles - one was a scout with a red dot optic, the other was a high end long rifle with iron sights. Both shot well, but the full length rifle was a blast to shoot. $1 for 10 rounds of .308! Can't go wrong with that. The Springfield reps were very knowledgeable, and...

      From Precision's facebook page. Wonder if they'll have a M1A?

      Where to find correct Rhodesian paint?

      Sounds like you're dealing with the local Laffy DuPont store :rolleyes: We discontinued the Centari paint line about 5 years ago. Give me a list of the paint codes that you have. I might be able to cross them to another DuPont product. Actually, just Googled it: The "A" suffix designates...

      *NEW* Ruger LC9s

      Looking at it now. Same size as original. Mags are same. Price $389.

      *NEW* Ruger LC9s

      The pricing should be the same as the regular hammer fired LC9 according to everything I've read. I handled one at Precision today. The trigger is so much better - nice and crisp with a good reset. The pull seems about 1/2 that of the old gun, and feels @ 6 lbs.

      Gelcoat repair

      Go to an auto paint store and get a quart of Everglass or Duraglass and patch it up. It's a waterproof body filler with fiberglass strands in it. That would be much easier than breaking out fiberglass resin and cloth. Touch it up with some automotive urethane that matches. I've heard Bubba...

      Firearm Manufacturing Moves South ...avoids Louisiana?

      This article is VERY misleading There aren't that many manufacturers "moving". Daisy has been in Arkansas since 1958 Walther just recently began manufacturing pistols at the Umarex plant in Fort Smith after their split from S&W. Umarex has been there since 2006. Mossberg's Maverick shotguns...

      Life expectancy of Sherburne shooters?

      Wow, obviously hunting without a license. They would've need to take the LA Hunter's Ed Course before they could've bought a hunting license.

      Spray painting your guns? serious?

      If you don't want it to peel off in a few months, clean with an alcohol based cleaner, sand (400 grit), and use this:
