If it's about guns, gun rights, gun grabbers or any other related subject, sooner or later it's going to be here. Whether it's sniper rifles, shotguns, WWII arms, ammunition or anything else, we're out there scrounging up anything and everything that we can find. Yes, this is something of an ambitious (some would say impossible) project but we're not quitting until we have it all in one place. Have a look around and see some of what our contributors have put together so far.
Featured Article
OOPS!

Well, this is embarrassing.

We don't seem to have an article of the day for this date. Maybe you could help us out and make or suggest one.
(It's fun! trust us.)

Food for thought
Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom. It is the argument of tyrants; it is the creed of slaves.

Did you know?
  • From 1964 until 1967 Winchester sacrificed quality to maintain low pricing and buyers began using the phrase "pre 64" to describe the better made and therefore more desireable Winchesters.
  • Biathlon has its roots as a training exercise in the Norwegian Army, and became an official Olympic event at the 1960 Games. Women’s biathlon was included in 1992. In the past 20 years, it has grown to become one of Europe’s most popular Nordic sports.

Article Of The Moment
it goes up... lol
A barrel shroud Shoulder thing that goes up is a ventilated covering attached to the barrel of a firearm, that partially or completely encircles the barrel, that allows the bearer to hold the firearm for stability. Slides, extensions of the stock that do not fully encircle the barrel, and the receiver (or frame) of a firearm itself are generally not considered barrel shrouds.

[edit] Huh?

Well, that's what we thought they were for, anyway.

Carolyn McCarthy seems to think we've got it all bassackwards. The video and the laughs are both over there →→→→.

Barrel shrouds have no effect on the ballistic performance of the firearm on to which they are installed other than offering an additional grip to help control recoil while firing. No need to worry about that, though; they were still included in the Federal Assault Weapons Ban definition of assault weapons because firearms fitted with them are perceived, in the murky depths of the gun grabber mind, to be designed for warfare rather than sporting or individual defense. Maybe they think this because barrel shrouds are commonly featured on heavy machine gun barrels, along with a carrying handle, as to better allow the firer to swap barrels.

[edit] Some actual real examples

Is this wtf she's talking about?

  • An MG-42 medium machinegun with a (special, off-the-shoulder) shrouded barrel.

  • An AR-10 rifle with a shrouded barrel (that doesn't go up).
