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.

GOP Candidate Holds 'Machine Gun Social'

GOP Candidate Holds 'Machine Gun Social'

GREENVILLE, SC -- A South Carolina candidate for the state's adjutant general position held a "machine gun social" at Allen Arms Indoor Range as his first campaign fundraiser.

Dean Allen is running to become adjutant general, who is in charge of the states defense forces such as the South Carolina National Guard.

For $25, donors to his campaign got barbecue and a chance to fire the machine gun of their choice. The highlight of the event was the big giveaway, one AK-47 valued at around $700.

Allen chose the venue because it reflects his emphasis on Second Amendment rights.

The winner of the AK-47 will have to pass a background check before taking it home.

Adjutant General? This guy belongs on the ticket for Senator! And how cool would it be to pay $25 bucks, eat South Carolina BBQ (which is some of the best on the planet), shoot a machine gun, an M16A2 from the look of it, and walk away with an AK-47? What a great country!

I'm envious.

Oh Yes! There is nothing quite like the sound of full automatic fire.....music to these old (and hard-of-hearing) ears. Last year, I attended our city's Citizens' Police Academy. It was a well presented course that met once a week for about four months. It really was a great way for us to learn the ins and outs of our police department, along with gaining an understanding of the problems with which the department has to deal. A couple of highlights of the course was the ride-along with an officer on his shift and.....range day. During range day, we were treated to many demonstrations, and.....we all got to burn several hundred rounds in full automatic fire using H&K MP5s. I'd guess that was the first full automatic fire I'd participated in since I was with the 4th Infantry Division in Vietnam. What a hoot!

Allen Arms Indoor Range? Any connection to Dean Allen? Family, etc.? Senator?! To bad he is not getting nominated/appointed to the US Supreme Court. Lock & Load.

I would love to have an H&K MP5. Howdy Col.

I had my fill of automatic fire and as a result cleaned my M60 so many times I could complete the task while blindfolded. I wouldn't mind firing an M47 Dragon, but you won't find it at an indoor range.

Boy that would have been fun but indoor ranges don't have my favorite full auto, the good ol great Ma Deuce, man do I love firing a twin set of them. God Bless America and Our Troops, Past, Present and Future. Keeping to My Oath Locked Loaded and Keeping My Powder Dry

Hey Bear1, have you been feeling okay? I haven't seen you post in awhile. If you've been feeling under the weather, take echinacea to boost your immune system. Dry gun powder is useless if you're not around to use it.
