Went to the range today to empty some .223 brass.  Shooting at dangling scrap wood is a hell of a lot more fun then simply punching paper. Picked up some NJ compliant PMAGS from Riflegear recently, thankfully they work great.  Just like the real deal ones I used in Georgia earlier this year. As I was cleaning up, I noticed somebody getting a priv...

Community Center, or whatever it will be……… I’m currently listening to the Dusty Show on WFMU, and has some very fired up Man On The Street type stuff regarding the building of this Mosque/Community Center. It’s funny how people are CLINGING to the 1st Amendment, and say this is about Freedom of Religion. Hmmm…&#...

Seems like a German company has a Smart Rifle with a watch you need to wear in order to make the rifle work. I wonder how soon till Paula Dow, NJ Attorney General, kicks in NJ’s Smart Gun law……. FROM NOW ON, THINGS WILL BE DIFFERENT. To meet the request „to be on the safe side“: The new electronic armatixsystem fitted to ANSCH...

In NJ, prosecutors say a blind man should not have the right to bear arms because he doesn’t safely store his guns (NJ safe storage laws only apply to households with children) The judge raised concerns about Hopler’s habit of leaving loaded guns around his home. But the judge noted the former truck driver lives alone and even police ...

Goofed around with an AK style rifle yesterday. Loaded up a few 7.69×32 rounds with black goodness. 31grains of GOEX FFg in one, and 33grains of GOEX FFFg in a few others. Worked like a charm. Lot’s of smoke. Not to0 much flame.  Must be that flash suppressor.  Need to loose it, or somehow trick it out so it becomes a flash enhancer. ...

1) Either sit back and watch the courts dismantle the gun control scheme until it resembles something constitutional or 2) Get out a clean piece of paper, and start on something that is constitutional from the start. Since we’re talking about NJ, they’ll default to choice number 1.  D’uh. See ANJRPC Lawyer Dan Schmutter’s a...

Word on the street says so……. While I think CCW reform in NJ is a total uphill battle, hopefully these three fish will be fried, either with this case, or another one coming down the pike; NJ’s idea that Firearms are a collective *right* That *self defense* is not a legit reason to own a gun, regardless of what Heller and McDonal...

Regarding People in India who want the ability to protect themselves; “If I say I am going to protect myself then I exempt the state from doing its job. What India are we living in? This is not some failed state,” said Arundhati Ghose, a former India ambassador to the UN who campaigns for Cafi. Cafi is the Control Arms Foundation of India, I...

Like being able to walk down the street and not get hassled by the man, or your neighbors. Because they’re so out of touch, it works in your favor. Nobody knows what a rifle bag looks like. Not my neighbors. Nor the big city police officers I waived to as I walked towards my car to load up the hellfire and brimstone machines. ...

So what else is new right? Well, it seems that over the course of a few years, a family man jumped through all the hoops for training, qualification test, mental health evaluations, so that he could obtain a NJ CCW so he could protect himself and his family, such as in the event of a terrorist attack, and it was his constitutional right to bear ar...

Bryan Miller of CeasefireNJ: “I don’t think this will have any effect on New Jersey’s laws,” he said. “The court clearly said that state and local authorities have the ability to regulate guns, which is what we do here.” Scott Bach of ANJRPC: “The Garden State’s notoriously bad gun laws — which turn honest c...

God Damn Right. ...

Went to the Henry Ford Museum today to check out the Dymaxion House exhibit.  Rather interesting I’d say, but in the end, it felt like one was living on an Amtrak train.  Small bathroom.  Galley kitchen.  Wrap around windows.  I’ll give Bucky Fuller credit on though, there is no wasted space.  It was interesting to see him referre...

And here’s a photo from last night. ...

Shot my Ruger Old Army’s for the first time today. Fuckin’ awesome!  40grains of FFg black under a .45cal round ball = lot’s of smoke. The one thing with cap and ball guns, is I’m gonna have to get used to seating the caps properly.  There was a few times when I had to go around a second time to get it to go bang.  But o...

Did somebody slip up? Regarding public databases of gun owners; (Peter) Hamm (of the Brady Campaign) said criminals are more likely to pick a target who isn’t armed. ARTICLE H/T to War on Guns ...

Hellfire and Brimstone from a 1916 Colt Government. Hat Tip to Springfield Slim ...

So when somebody goes above and beyond to create homerun props, which include a watertower, and actually fills the thing with water, how can you *not* take a miss?  It’s not every day you get to toss lead at a watertower. Over this past weekend, I attended The Reckoning, a two day SASS shoot in PA, which was held at my favorite cowboy club....

My laptop died the other day.  At first I thought it was a virus, but it turned out that the hardrive had a mechanical failure.  Guess it was just old age. I was able to get about 95% of what I wanted off it, before it would no longer allow me to do anything. Spent a few days looking at new laptops, don’t have space to set up permanent relo...

Say it ain’t so!  Cemetery purchased an AR? You betcha.  A Colt M4 Match Target Carbine (Jersey legal).  Besides, it’s based on pre-hippie era technology, so in a way, it’s still old school. Some say there ain’t no school like old school. So much for the collapse of the AR market huh?  Maybe I should christen it;  *Jo...

Just got my sample ballot for next weeks primary election in Hudson County next week. What a bunch of fuckin’ losers…… The only good thing about next week is that people around here are so brainwashed into voting for the (D) incumbent, and whoever else is in the same column, that the current Hudson County Sheriff, who has jumped t...

I previously mentioned bore slugging HERE. I just slugged the bore of my 44.40. One slug was sized at .429, and the other at .430. It’s said you should go from the breech to the muzzle.  But due to the size of the oak dowel I get at Lowe’s Home Center, I had to do the opposite. It was rather easy actually. But due to the manufacturing ...

Seems we got two new bills here in NJ; A2857 – Repeals the One Gun a Month Law A2858 – Repeals certain restrictions on future sales of handguns Don’t the specifics on these bills, since no PDF’s are available as of yet at the NJ Legislature website. ...

The only good POV shot I was able to get all weekend > I was hot and cold, mostly cold on the 2nd day.  Not sure where the funk rolled in.  I probably shoulda signed up for the mini match before the shoot, and worked out the kinks. But I do notice that my facial muscles are sore, must be from all that smiling. ...

Recently did a Wild Bunch match where I used black powder 45acp loads, which isn’t a new concept, seems darksiders have been doing this for years.  But was more curious to see what it felt like, and how the 1911 functioned.  Plus it would be cool to see all that hellfire and brimstone belching from a self loading pistol. The cartridges were...

Seems my Colt AR15 will be in my hands sometime next week. Now where’s that black powder loading info?? ...

Seems I bumped into a gentleman who is actually on one of various watch lists that are so in vogue today. Naturally I found it interesting, that a man with a name as common as John Smith, does about travel and firearm purchases.  He told me that he used to always get detained at airports, and purchases constantly getting delayed. I asked him how&#...

Kewl. Seems some Cowboy seeds are starting to sprout in Guatemala.  And it looks like their club has a swimmin’ pool.  That would come in handy after a long day dishin’ out gunsmoke. ...

This looks pretty cool.  I like the simulated hunting screens.  Maybe they’ll  have a simulated old west town, there is a  SASS club in Germany after all.  Then, after everything is cleaned up and put away, I could go to the lounge and tie on one. ...

Seems like I need to slug my bore on my Original Winchester so I can get the right size boolits. Why would I need to do this you ask? Well, slugging bore gives you the right size, so you can find properly size boolits for your firearms.  It helps with accuracy since a small boolit will be bouncing around inside while it travels the length of your ...

Got the PA State SASS shoot this weekend.  Guns cleaned and prepped.  Even got a eye drop bottle of Olive Oil handy to use as lube. Gonna be shootin’ Frontier. Cartridge. Gunfighter. Friday we have various side matches.  Wanna give long range, well, as long range as the range allows, a try.  And will be shooting a three stage Wild Bunch s...

I’m currently using Kroil to clean my original Winchester ’73.  It’s a liquid wrench type thing that supposedly soaks into rust, as well as getting beneath lead and copper, and making it easy for everything to get wiped/brushed out. A few people have recommended it, and I’ve read good things about it in various forums.  It...

Sold a few things to fund the purchase of a Colt AR15. Got to the shop. Fucker was sold about 15mins before I got there. Damn it. ...

Gonna be trying out some 45acp loaded with black magic through my 1911 next weekend. If it cycles well, I just might do a 1000 round challenge. Why? Well, why not? ...
