ANY lead bullets cause a substantial lead buildup that can cause severe problems. The Nagant revolver does not have a forcing cone at the cylinder end of the barrel. Instead, it has a recess where the case mouth seals the breech when the cylinder is locked up. When you are not using the factory 7.62 Nagant brass, the recess is not sealed by the case. Using the shorter .32S&W, .32H&R mag, or .32-20 brass with lead bullets allows lead to be shaved into this recess when the pistol is fired. eventually, enough lead can accumulate to cause constriction of the bore or failure of the cylinder to lockup. I've been using jacketed bullets in .32H&R mag for some time now. I have yet to see any accumulation of copper in the barrel breech recess after well over 1000rds.

Newt is the most politically-savvy and intelligent candidate. But I won't vote for him. He has some moral and ethical problems that I cannot get past. Having an affair with a staffer in 1985 may have led to the failure of the 'Contract with America'. And his behaviour in May shortly after announcing his candidacy didn't show good judgement (Going on vacation to Greece for two weeks). I would highly recommend that the winner of the Republican nomination choose Gingrich for a major Cabinet post. But he would not make a good President.

The third photo shows a Liege, Belgium proofmark. More evidence it's probably a Lefaucheux. Good luck finding cartridges. They are a collector's item and hard to find.

The 0.3% variation you saw is pretty good for bulk bullets. Definitely nothing to worry about. Zero is a reputable bullet manufacturer that's been around a while.

Those old .41 rimfire shorts are for the old Remington double-barrel derringer like this: http://www.armchairgunshow.com/otsDADB_derringers.htm&h=581&w=864&sz=229&tbnid=UIWghZ8ZbEACWM:&tbnh=93&tbnw=138&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dremington%2Bderringer%26tbm%3Disch%26tbo%3Du&zoom=1&q=remington+derringer&docid=hhkC7EuPwd0PpM&hl=en&sa=X&ei=8EaQTu6oL463tgfhsc2CDA&sqi=2&ved=0CFgQ9QEwBg The cartridge is a 120gr bullet at a blistering 425fps, for a tremendous 52ft/lbs of energy. Or about half the energy of a .22lr target load. I've fired these back when Navy Arms had a bunch of this ammo imported from Brazil. Not at all like the movies. These basically 'pop', with a little puff of smoke. They penetrate about 1" into a pine 2x4. Typically, you just get a dent in hardwood.

I use .32 H&R mags in mine. The action is very strong, so you aren't going to break it. If you reload, the .32 mags are very cheap to shoot and pretty powerful. About as powerful as a .38 Special. As for accurate, there seem to be some that are less than precisely made. The one I have that was made in 1944 gets 5" groups at 10 yards. My 1932 Nagant gets 2" groups. The double-action pull is pretty long and heavy, but the single-action pull is not bad. The best trick to improving trigger pull is to open it up and thoroughly clean out the 70+ years of accumulated gunk.

Of course, you can always go High Standard. A nice, used High Standard Citation can be gotten for as little as $500. Cheaper Than Dirt has new mags that work well for under $25. It's very hard to find anything that will perform as well anywhere near the price. Like the S&W M41 they are designed to work with Target ammo, so don't expect great results with hi velocity .22s. I have been using the Federal Auto Match and getting excellent groups from my High Standard Victor. At $15/325 rds, it's excellent value.

The article would have you believe that Tennessee has a very high violent crime rate. Kind of misleading. Looking at the raw FBI data by state (FBI — Table 5) TN (overall violent crime rate per 100,000 = 613.3) actually is behind Delaware 620.9, Alaska, 638.8, Nevada 660.6, and the leader DC at 1330.2. The numbers by metropolitan area are available. To me, the numbers show that large cities cause crime. We should ban cities over 50,000 inhabitants. also, I fail to see how breaking the numbers out into 'gun crime' serves anything other than a transparent agenda. Why is 'gun crime' worse than any other kind? Why is a murder committed with a firearm more tragic than one committed with a baseball bat, tire iron, poison, or vehicle? Until you answer that question logically, I have a difficult time respecting your journalism.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but; Go to the game. When your wife sets up something that you can do together, it's best to choose that option. This is one of those times that you need to remember that it's a partnership. Go have fun with wife and friends. Save your pennies and get the rifle with your personal money. Or, maybe you can get it for Christmas. Only another 12 weeks.

Where are you finding Fiocchi at $10/box? The best I can find is $11.49. I can get Tula 9mm for $167.99/case or $8.40/box. So far, I've run several thousands of rounds of Wolf and Tula through pistols and submachineguns without any issues. I'm still waiting for a misfire. As for being hot, it's only a hair slower than Winchester White box, and about as consistent. The Tula does smell funny, though.

To get back to the OPs question, It's pretty much a gimmick. You can aim as well by using the rail channel as with those tiny sights. If your electronic scope dies, pull it off and sight down the rail. Of course, that is also why they make back-up iron sights, a MUCH better solution.

A simple Google search yielded several CETMEs for under $500. They are still out there. And while I have seen some of the Century horror story rifles, most have been reliable, accurate shooters. In the 'under $500' category, I would stick with the CETME. You MIGHT get real lucky and find a used FAL in that range. It depends how hard you look. Century sold a boatload of FALs for under $500, and you might find one of them who doesn't know how much the price has gone up. I've seen a couple in the past year at local gun shows. Usually being carried by someone with a sad look on their face.

Guys, to me it boils down to one, simple issue; Is the former felon a danger to the public such that he should not be on the streets with the rest of us? If society is not safe from him, why is he out in public in the first place? If he is NOT a danger to society, then he should have ALL rights restored. That's it. In this case, the person received a pardon. Either the pardon means something and he has ALL rights restored, or a pardon is just a nice piece of paper. Mr. Blackwell committed his crime in Georgia, and received his pardon in Georgia. Why Tennessee would ignore that pardon is sheer idiocy that the 'full faith and credit' clause of the US Constitution was written to address.

I have one that I use mostly for .32 and .38 S&W. Those old low-pressure pistol loads are very easy to reload at the range with the hand-press when you are trying to get a load recipe that works well. Brass with thicker sides requires more effort and the afore-mentioned hammer may be needed.

The writer obviously did NOT go to hear John Lott. For those who are not familiar with the name, John Lott wrote the book, 'More Guns, Less Crime' based on actual statistics of citizen firearm use to prevent crime. The first edition came out in 1998, and Mr. Lott has been defending his results ever since. The third edition has recently been released and has a lot more evidence based on the huge amount of data that states have compiled in the ten years since the second edition. Amazon.com: More Guns, Less Crime: Understanding Crime and Gun Control Laws, Third Edition (Studies in Law and Economics) (9780226493664): John R. Lott Jr.: Books The first problem with the writer's argument is that there is a lot of evidence that citizen firearms carry prevents violent crime in general. Additionally, it prevents the highly-publicized public multiple victim shootings at a much higher rate than general violent crime. As for the writer's fears about accidents or suicides, there is a lot of data showing that those fears are unfounded. Rather than opposing campus carry based on a lot of hypothetical feelings and lack of data, the writer should have done his homework. The facts are pretty amazing. College campuses with prohibited carry have higher crime rates than those that allow citizen carry. And there is a lot of data to prove it. To anyone with half a brain, it's pretty simple; criminals will prey on those that can't hurt the criminal. The old question is just as valid now as it ever was. How is a woman lying raped and dead in a gutter morally superior to a woman explaining to the police what happened with her pistol in her hand and a dead rapist in the gutter?

In TN, you send the Form4 to the Sheriff of your county of residence for approval. Here in TN, they MUST sign the Form4 unless they know of a reason why you should not own a firearm. Call the sheriff's Office and ask the clerk how they would prefer to handle it. Here in Wilson County, I just drop off the paperwork and it's usually signed by the next day. I attach a nice note thanking them for their assistance. It never hurts to be polite.

A consensus among climatologists would be great! Sadly, there isn't one. Show me an article from after 2009 (since the great fraud exposure) showing such a 'consensus' among climatologists. You spout a lot of things, but have yet to back a single one up. I'm still waiting. In Denial | The Weekly Standard Global Warming Consensus Falling Apart 'Warming' meltdown - NYPOST.com THE HOCKEY SCHTICK: The 97% "Consensus" is only 75 Self-Selected Climatologists 31,000 Signatures Prove ‘No Consensus’ About Global Warming

Let's ask the question nobody else will. What is the 'fair share'? If it is the total of all US government annual spending ($3.721 Trillion 2011) divided by the population (311 million) we get about $11,964 per person. Is taxing every single person that amount a 'fair share'? What if we give everyone under 18 (about 25% of the population) a 'free ride'. Then it's ~$15,991 per adult. but wait! Many of those people don't work? How can they pay if they don't work? Taxing only those who work gives us only 153.6 million people to tax. That works out to $24,225 for every working resident of the USA. So, considering that the average income in the US is only $39,138, it means that a 'fair share' is about 62% of every working person's income. It seems to me that the answer is to reduce spending so that every person's 'fair share' is considerably less than 62%!!! BTW, when you consider the average person's tax burden, you need to figure out ALL of the taxes they pay (sales, excise, import, property, estate, inventory, etc), not just income tax. And corporations don't pay tax, they just collect it from their customers. ALL taxes are a burden to individuals, not organizations.

It's ammo for the US M1 .30 carbine. We gave a boatload to the French (and many other folks) after WWII. They used them in Indochina (Vietnam) until they got kicked out. Also used in Algeria and issued to French police units during the 1950's. The ammo is fine. It goes 'bang', operates the rifle properly, and is reasonably accurate. I've fired a bunch as it was the cheapest .30 carbine ammo in the mid-80's. It is Berdan primed, so not easily relaodable, and as noted above, it has corrosive primers. I never noticed a problem because of that, but I do clean my rifles. Simply by cleaning the bore on a carbine, some of the bore cleaner will get into the gas system. Older bore cleaner would counteract the corrosive salts. Newer bore cleaner does not. Run a patch or two liberally drenched in Windex through the carbine bore and it will be fine. Removing the gas piston for thorough cleaning is a good idea as well. Carbine gas piston wrenches are inexpensive, and a good investment for anyone owning an M1 carbine.

I love the Honda V-4s!! I had a 700 Sabre for several years before moving up to a 1100 Sabre. I'm off the bike until my knee heals. I got to ride one of the little 500 Magnas about ten years ago and was very pleasantly surprised at what an excellent little bike it is. The OP could probably get a nice one of those for within budget. The V4s do like to have their carbs synched, though. And if you can't do it yourself, that could be expensive.

You're right, I have no idea what you are saying. What 'list'? Show me convincing evidence showing that 1) The Earth is actually warming significantly. and 2) That warming is somehow linked to human activity. I haven't seen it yet. The only substantial evidence that purported to show that was part of the faked evidence from East Anglia University's Climate Research Unit. Did I miss something? Show me. I find it difficult to place confidence in scientists who send emails like this; "I’ve just completed Mike’s Nature trick of adding in the real temps to each series for the last 20 years (ie from 1981 onwards) and from 1961 for Keith’s to hide the decline." You've said you aren't ignorant; prove it.

Actually, the article is just a whitewash. It really doesn't explain anything, just gives vague assurances. Either the 2nd Amendment means what it says and this bill is superfluous, or Congressional powers have no restriction and this new bill can be regulated by ATF to be meaningless.

Just an 'FYI', Berdan does not equal corrosive. I don't know of any newly-manufactured ammo with corrosive primers. All of the Wolf, Barnaul, and other ammo currently being imported have non-corrosive primers. If you run across older Yugoslavian, Chinese, or Russkie ammo, it may have corrosive priming. It's not a big deal. The only place an AK has for the corrosion to affect is the barrel and gas system. That's the primary reason those parts are chromed on military weapons. As posted above, if you are in the habit of cleaning your weapons, you'll never see a problem.

For a first bike, I would recommend that you keep it light and inexpensive. There always seem to be a bunch of Kawasaki Ninja 250s for sale on Craigslist. You can usually find a decent one for about $2K. It's not a cruiser, but it is very easy to ride and surprisingly powerful. Honda makes a Rebel 250 which is a cruiser. I see those for sale pretty often as well, but have no personal experience with them. Honda makes good bikes and I'd guess they are reliable. The Hyosung GV250 cruiser gets surprisingly good reviews, but again, I have no personal experience with them. Vehicle Reviews for 2006 Hyosung GV250 The little 250s are a good first bike for several reasons. First, you won't have much in it, so if it gets dropped or scratched, you won't cry. Second, they are very easy to ride and you will learn more quickly on a bike that is easy to ride. Third, you can usually get about what you paid for it when you are ready to move up. Last, they are simple and easy to fix if something goes wrong.

And, the courts have repeatedly ruled that it's a tax, not an insurance program. Nobody has a right to any benefits. Any benefits are entirely at the whim of Congress. You do trust Congress, don't you? If you answered 'yes' to that, you may want to reconsider.
