Don’t give up if a replacement firing pin is unavailable from your catalog suppliers. Instead, use these tips to solve the problem.

One of the things some gun owners—engineers or fairly well-educated hobbyists who have a good grasp of mechanical things—ask about is how to handle the different kinds of pins in their guns. Particularly, they often want to know if their punches are the right ones, or if they can use a slightly different one without damaging their pins.

“Shouldn't an army base be the last place where a terrorist should be able to shoot at people uninterrupted for 10 minutes? After all, an army base is filled with soldiers who carry guns, right? Unfortunately, that is not the case. Beginning in March 1993, under the Clinton administration, the army forbids military personnel from carrying their own personal firearms and mandates that 'a credible and specific threat against [Department of the Army] personnel [exist] in that region' before military personnel 'may be authorized to carry firearms for personal protection.'

From MonroeRising.com: Recently, a friend and I were lamenting the steady dissolution of our Constitution. It seemed to us that the further our politicians have strayed from the spirit, meaning and intent of the Constitution, the more enervated, disunited and dispirited our nation and its people have become. Discussing how best to remedy the nation’s decline and to restore Constitutional governance, we briefly alluded to the discredited doctrine of nullification about which neither of us knew very much at all. So, I decided to briefly revisit the subject to see what I could learn. In a nutshell, this is it. I hope it will be of some interest to you.

What in the wolrd does one organization, not military in scope, need with 40 million rounds of pistol ammunition every year for the next five years(that is over 3.33 million rounds every month)? Especially an organization that will NOT profile possible terrorists from outside the country but, will and does profile our own US combat veterans as probable urban terrorist against the sitting government

They need 40 mill to shoot and practice and to protect our country from illegle immegrants who are comming into this country everyday .

Or they are stock piling ammo to create a shortage, remember who's running the government now. Do you really think the current administration would be that proactive in firearms training when they are anti-gun to begin with? Do the math of how many agents work for Homeland Security and the amount of ammo per agent, that's alot of rounds per agent. Sounds like stock piling to me.

Why are they using 135 Grain Hollowpoints? The 165 Grain Ranger Hollowpoint is better.

Stockpiling what for? No I think they are getting ready to arm Obama's "volunteer Youth groups and send them against the people when he declares Martial Law just before he turns the nation over to the One World Order dictators disquised in the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and the American Union (AU the counterpart to the EU) and any other organization he can find that will enslave the people of the Nation he HATES with all his satanic heart. He has altready said and indicates daily that he requires total submission to his whims and fancies. Now he is determined to force the issue with weapons against the people just like has happened before in this country under DEMONacrats on smaller scales.

Anybody taking bets on whether Hussein gets re-elected?

Gaviota

LeeW At the rate he is going in turning this nation into another, the last of the, "sheep herds" for the One World Order, there won't be any elections in 2012. At least no true elections without "brown shirts" manning the polls. as to the 135grn instead of the 165, the smaller round travels faster at less distance and his minnions won't need stopping power at less than 15 feet.

How many different weapons do the .40 fit?

Comment by: westhmess | September 5, 2009

To my knowledge only the S&W .40 Cal and the Sig .40 used by some of the FBI

Comment by: gunnyg | September 6, 2009

I am betting that an "Emergency" will be declared in 2010 which will be one of their "triggers" and due to the emergency, they will delay or otherwise put off the mid-term elections of 2010.

EXACTLY RIGHT pmrtruck As I have said before about this "person" in the White House, He will declare a National Martial Law when the polls show that all his cohorts in any party are being forced out by the legal recourse they citizenry has, the Ballot. He also knows that when this happens the ballot will bew replaced by the "bullet". The man and all his minnions are LIARS and their only objective is power and his is to destroy the last nation on earth not yet succumbing to the Grand Ayatollah's worldwide Jihad to bring the world under the control of Islam, the government of slavery and submission. If one truely reads and understands the Koran, they will realize it is a pattern of dictatorial government, NOT a true religion, except for the bovine masses.
