You have to wonder if he wasn't doing dry fire practice at the tv and it turned out to be not as "dry" as he anticipated. Seems like "cleaning the gun" is often a catch all for other behavior. Not really on topic, but I'd bet a lot of 'cleaning the gun and shot himself" are suicides and they...
Totally contradicts anything found in either the real world or academia, ranging from studies on twins raised separately to just looking at how different siblings raised in the same house sometimes turn out.
There's a hell of a lot of influences other than parents on your kids, especially...
The issue there is my work bench and my shooting range are about an hour apart. It'd be a long day and a lot of gas money to use the vice to adjust it in right. If I still can't break it loose after the soak I'll use the vice first and then see if the tool will move it, though.
Its Romanian, an SAR-1. I'll try and get a picture tomorrow, but visualize the front sight assembly as an "A". The piece that you are adjusting with the little vise tool is the crossbar of the "A" and the sight post itself sits on top of the "A". On the bottom side of the crossbar is a...
Ok, thanks. There is a screw on the under side, didn't know if it was involved in the process or just held everything together.
I bought it probably 9 years ago and never have messed with it much. Finally got it out and put a Tapco trigger in it and am getting it set up to run.
I'll get...
Ok, I've got the tool. Is there anything I have to loosen before using the clamp-type tool to push the sight left and right? My AK is hitting way left, so I put the clamp on and couldn't budge the sight. I see there is a screw on the bottom, do I need to loosen that up before pushing the sight?
Same here. Other than making it harder to break down for cleaning, I don't see much difference. Springfield with, Colt without.
I just run the gun with whichever it came with.
You city cops are big softies. Probably has something to do with not having a proper campaign hat. Campaign hats would help project the proper attitude of intimidation, disdain, etc.
You can do it, but its not easy or particularly fast.

Of course, neither is reloading a revolver one handed. Both require a lot of practice to be decent at.
I still carry a wheel gun on occasion, but not .357. Either a .38 snubbie as a backup or a .44 as a farm gun.
I used to carry a revolver as primary more often, but I'm just too used to semi-autos now and don't practice speed loader reloads often enough to trust myself carrying one as primary...
One thing to keep in mind, commercial boats fall under the authority of the US Coast Guard. I know when Caesar's first opened up they had a safe on the land side of the loading ramp. They would store your gun, no questions asked and exactly how you handed it to them (no clearing), until you...
"HB" head stamp shows ammo made in Singapore. Chartered Industries of Singapore, or one of their subsidiary companies.
**on edit**
Here's a good source on head stamp info, this page specifically addresses the "HB"...
There's a ton of variables, and its tough to recommend anything for sure.
Traditionally folks will recommend the following:
A .22 revolver or semi-auto. Its cheap to practice with, you can learn the fundamentals, and the firearm itself will be more inexpensive. Its a rare collection that...
I guess its really no more stupid than parachuting or riding a motorcycle, and I don't frown on those activities. I can't wrap my head around that kind of theatrical demonstration to prove a product, though. Illogical on my part, I guess, but it just seems irresponsible. The same thing could...
Don't feel like you owe anyone here an explanation. You asked a question, we answered, and its none of anyone's business as to the "why" of your situation.
I'd keep family issues in the family and not worry about what a bunch of random folks on the web think, but each to their own.
