      Christmas Bonus

      Last week I received an unexpected Christmas bonus, and having just bought my 7yro son his first bow (a Genesis) I decided I needed to get something to keep him company out in the backyard. My new toy is a Mission Ballistic, which, compared to the old recurves and compounds I used back in the...

      Take this crap back to Balt City

      This stuff isn't supposed to happen this side of the bridge. http://www.myeasternshoremd.com/news/queen_annes_county/article_52f371ed-af3b-5caa-b01a-c5894ac8fa09.html

      Did the 1994 Assault Pistol Ban do anything useful

      So I was re-reading HB294 in preparation for tomorrow's attempt to testify and it occurred to me that maybe there is good data out there somewhere which demonstrates that Maryland's 1994 assault pistol ban had no effect on the crime stats. Anyone have any pointers?

      First M1 Garand

      An M1 Garand followed me home from the Easton show today. It's not historical in any way since it's built on a new Springfield Armory receiver and a .308 bbl, but it does have nice wood, a low round count and just happens to be my first rifle in .30 caliber. :D Now I just need to wait for a...

      Perplexing baffle strike issue

      Perplexing baffle strike issue (UPDATED: Big thanks to PDI) My .22LR Coastal Passport suppressor is giving me some trouble, and I haven't yet figured out if it's the can or the gun. When mounted on a Savage MkII, it performs great, but when mounted on a (new) P229 .22LR conversion it suffers...

      Collector approval oddity

      Last Saturday I received a letter from MSP Firearms Division saying my collector application was approved by Cpl. Cusimano on 4/13/10. Nothing strange about that, except that I already have an approval letter from Sgt. Smith dated 11/14/09. Glad to see that taxpayer dollars aren't being wasted...

      AR ejection/buffer question

      My 16" AR with Crapco collapsible stock ejects forward at roughly at 2 o'clock and is beating the hell out of the brass on the case deflector. Originally it contained a regular carbine buffer, but after swapping that out for a 9mm buffer it continues to do the same. Overall function was...

      Fall Shoot Saiga 12

      Here's my Saiga 12 that I won in the Fall Shoot raffle. A box of conversion parts turned up today, so right now the gun is completely disassembled on my workbench. In its stock configuration it seems quite happy cycling birdshot and magnum buckshot with the gas plug set to #1, so it looks...

      New Sig P229

      Bought myself a belated 40th birthday present. Its a new Sig P229 Elite Dark in .40SW with adjustable night sights. As I mentioned in an earlier thread, I believe I scored big time because the dealer was selling regular P226R's for nearly the same price as this beauty. Its my first major...

      P229 question

      Ok, so I feel really dumb asking this, since apparently I thought I knew what I was buying, but maybe not... :blush: Is the beavertail an option on a regular Sig P229, or only the Elite models? The reason I ask is that I was comparing a nitron P226 and P229 (both in .40), and ended up...

      Marlin 39A strange ballistics

      A month or so ago a Marlin 39AS followed me home. Its a nice shooter, but appears to have a rather strange problem that's got me puzzled... My primary reason for buying a lever gun was the ability to use a variety of .22 ammo such as CB's, shorts and other subsonic rounds for short range...

      Easton Walmart has .22LR Federal Bulk pack

      Walmart in Easton has about 8 boxes of .22LR Federal Bulk (550rd). Get 'em while they're hot 'cos the shelves are looking remarkably empty of anything else except 12ga shells.

      Embedded video broken?

      Something is up, and I don't think its at my end... This morning I could see the embedded video clip in this thread however now I don't, and I can't see them any in other threads either. All I get is a big blank space where the video should be. Same results with Firefox and IE.

      Easton Show - Nov 15-16

      Went to the gun show at Easton Community Center around lunchtime today. It was better than I expected, and quite well attended, if perhaps a little pricey. In my opinion, the bargain of the show is probably the DPMS stripped lower for $139. Sadly I couldn't snap it up because I don't have...
