      New SA M1A

      Well, yes less than a Prius, but real heavy on a night patrol back in 1963 when my Ranger buddy and I were in Ranger school at Fort Benning, Dehlonga and in the FL swamps. We referred to it as the M14 Limb Stripper cause we used it every mission to slash our way through the kudzu and obstacles...

      Favorite Rifle purchase of 2017

      Hard to choose just one: 1) Springfield Armory M1D (Sniper version built for action in Korea, but mine never got there). Pristine, complete with all the accessories and under market IMO at $3275. 2) A Winchester Model 52C that reminds me of my "poorer than a church mouse" days while...

      Please help me buy an M1

      M1 Garand Thanks Ray! Yes I am actively selling most of my inventory due to a life threatening disease that I've been dealing with for the past 3 years...it's a slow mover similar to cancer and there is no cure. I take a powerful med to slow its spread in my lungs. We think my IPF is...

      Snubby.38 Revolver Suggestions?

      I think your wife would love the S&W Model 37. The 37s are ideal for carry and they pack the punch one needs. I have four and all of them are For Sale, due to a major health issue that I am dealing with these days. Priced from $525 to $725. Lew--Ranger63 Laurel, MD 20707

      What can we learn from the Bundy ranch situation?

      Yeah, ya can figure out real fast where I'm coming from as I lie here dying a slow death likely due (that's what my pulmonologist thinks) to exposure to Agent Orange from my two aviator flight tours in Vietnam...'66-67 and '69-70. I went over to that ******** in good faith both times and...

      New Assault Gun Ban Introduced

      And I lie here and don't give a royal fk...as we had plans to have unassed Laurel this past summer...only to have been stalled by a significant worsening of my Agent Orange induced Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (two flying tours in Vietnam). The turds can pass all the restrictions they care...

      Assoc Gun Clubs of Baltimore: Which to choose?

      Lots of great advice posted here. I have been a member of three Clubs at AGC, Marriottsville, Md and happy with all of them. Moved around a bit to find at better fit when competing in the AGC High Power League. Found these Clubs outstanding in all respects: 1))) Maryland Rifle Club...Est...

      Which to guard your house inside with

      Taurus Judge, Colt King Cobra and a National Postal Meter M1 Carbine with an assortment of Shot or Ball available in 15 round mags. I am not familiar with OP's pieces, but his question is good nonetheless. If I ever have to defend the "ranch," I want the fr-g perp down, scared shitless or...

      Favorite Handgun/Pistol purchase of 2017?

      To date and not to be challenged any time soon, a 1943 UNION SWITCH AND SIGNAL at $1,675 back in 2009 from Al R. at The Gun Rack, Burtonsville and subsequently a victum of Md SB 281 in June 2014. Switched out the target sights mounted on the original slide and with that upgrade and some...

      Quaging Interest: .22LR Precision Match

      .22 LR Precision Matches Interested, but at 77 years and bedridden with an incurable lung disease that treats me poorly, I can no longer get to the firing line. However, a few years ago I won a .22 only match at the 200 yard AGC range on Marriottsville Road, Baltimore county. I shot an...

      The M1 Garand, The M1A or It’s just me

      I have shot both rifles for years and have competed with them at Camp Perry. The M1 Garand is by far the better balanced rifle and that alone allows one to attain a better "hold" in any position, and especially offhand, the most difficult to master. I learned to compete with...

      CMP sales...and M1 Garand options: Advice needed

      Garand A bit late to posting on OP question, but here is some advice from someone old, 77, and knowledgeable and competent with the Garand. I have owned more than 130 of them since getting my first in 2002. I then started to collect them and, frankly, it got out of hand and the inventory...

      Oregon Governor Preparing to Sign Gun Confiscation Law

      Dead center, James! My Sister in Law and husband #1 (she's living with #3 presently) made their way from CA to Yakima, WA 25-30 years ago. He represented himself as an ordained Presby preacher man, and we later learned that he had a record; eventually they divorced and both remained in the...

      Need To Improve Accuracy

      This is perfect advice...follow it and your flinching should go away. When introducing newbies, especially women of all ages and most young kids, we always start em out with the .22lr or a piece that will not intimidate them. Been involved in the shooting sports since 1952 and still get a kick...
