With the rise of totalitarianism on the right Im seeing a lot more people on the left pick up arms and train in their proficiency just in case. But it still seems to be a major party platform to restrict the ownership of firearms through things like AWBs, restrictions on the carry of arms, permitting/licensing for ownership, and age restrictions. If the right is truly moving towards open fascism or Nazism and are targeting groups in the opening stages thereof, such as racial groups, religious groups, or sexual orientation groups, wouldnt it be in the nation's best interest as a whole if those people were able to resist once a night of broken glass scenario tipped their hand? It seems to me

Im curious how often forks need a true full rebuild. My k5 forks leak quite badly, and ill have them in for seals. The job will be like 350 bucks but im wondering if I shouldnt entertain a rebuild. Bike has 20 something thousand miles. But would it really need a rebuild so soon? I dont think so, but its in the back of my mind. A full rebuild theyre quoting like 1,500 dollars so I dont want to if its not really needed.

Good afternoon, fellow Minnesotans!

Now that its 2025 I feel like it's a good time to make a general PSA for those not in the know. Last year Gov Walz signed legislation legalizing motorcycle lane filtering come the 1st of July, 2025. What this means is that in traffic below 25mph motorcyclists will be allowed to ride between vehicles and filter to the front of congestion. Motorcyclists cannot exceed +15 the speed of traffic while doing so and it does not legalize high speed lane splitting. Several other states have filtering and splitting laws and they have been shown to greatly reduce the injury and fatality rate for motorcyclists, as often the most dangerous place we can be is stopped in

Good afternoon ladies and gents,

Ive been out of the BP game for some years now, but cap and ball revolvers use to be a guilty pleasure of mine. Well Im working in a shop these days and we had a Stoeger/Uberti 1848 Dragoon .44 come through the shop. Its got me wanting to get back into BP wheelguns and im wondering what the consensus is on these. It feels super high quality, higher quality than the Piettas I had in the past. My familiarity was with the Pietta 1851 Navy and 1860 Army, I also had an 1858 Remington reporduction that was attrocious as the barrel was set in the frame crooked. Ive never had a dragoon, but always thought one would be fun. I like the idea of the steel frame over th

Mornin!

I casually shoot uspsa to keep my skills sharp, and theres exactly one guy locally that shoots revolver. It looks like a total riot to me, and I now have the chance to get a 986 Performance Center on the cheap. Like pennies on the dollar. I understand people say the 929 is the only viable wheelgun for uspsa, But has anyone used one of these 986 snubbies before? I have 0 illusions that Ill ever be sucessfull or highly ranked, its more for the giggles. The other revolver I currently own that I would love to try is my Chiappa Rhino 50ds, but .357 ammunition and even 38spl is stupid expensive and out of budget to compete with for me.

Hey guys,

Ill have my SS paid off this spring and am wanting a new to me car thats fun to drive. I had a '19 Civic SI in ralley red with full greddy setup that was a total riot, but what I really wanted was a veloster n, they were just unobtanium and it was at the height of covid at the time, so dealers had absolutely mental markups.

Well, now im thinking maybe itll be time to get one this spring, if I can find one used that I like with sub 50k miles. Looking at car sale sites im pleased to see low 20k for cars with 20-30k miles. Thats a lot less than Honda, which made me wonder why. Are these cars reliable to 150k+ miles as a daily? I love the looks, but im not interested in being nicke

Hey guys, Looking for some information on this stuff as a local shop offers it. But the internet is pulling up very little. Whats the word on this stuff? Is it better or worse than a fluid film/lanolin product? Does it have the flaws of a hard rubberized undercoating? Theres literally no info about this stuff anywhere.

Hey guys,

I work at my LGS and have gotten a few questions regarding some Winchester leverguns we have on hand. They are all made pre 1898, but are serialized and in our bound books. Im pretty sure ive got this right, but I figure id better get my facts straight here.

The thing in question is if they need a transfer or not, and if they can be shipped directly to a customers door.

Antiques are still regulated if they use "fixed ammunition" that is still "available in the commercial supply" and "manufactured in the us" even if they are made before 1898. So a rifle chambered in .30 WCF would still be regulated even if it was made in 1895-1898 because of that common ammunition chambering. L

Hey guys,

Im looking at picking up an Ak74 from a guy but as its a parts kit build, im at a loss on how to value it to make an offer. I apologize for not having pictures, but here are the details thatll hopefully get us into a ballpark.

Its a Bulgarian parts kit built 74 in 5.45 done by NGS out of Idaho. Its fixed stock, wearing russian plum furniture. He says because its a parts kit build, its not an arsenal, but a Bulgarian military ak that was made in 1990 by the circle 10 factory. All serialized parts match, and he was the origional owner of both the parts kit, then the finished gun. Says he might be willing to include a plum magazine and a Belomo sight. What is such a rifle worth on

Hey guys,

I work for my LGS and im compiling a list of ammunition to put on the next order. Im new to 300blk and have an ar pistol suppressed myself, and ive only used the Fiocchi Range dynamics with the 220gr smk myself, so I figured id ask the guys who have been doing this for years.

What subsonic loads would you like to find on the shelves at a gunstore?

We are well stocked on supers, but you can shoot out those recommendations as well.

Thanks, guys!

When I say rolling shudder, I mean it shudders for about a second, then is smooth for the next, and it repeats forever as long as im over 65mph. It gets worse with speed, not engine rpm. It has nothing to do with breaking either. It is very consistent, and once i drop under 60 it goes away. I mean it could still be there, but its not noticeable.

I have a bad forkseal on the front side, and im getting close to needing tires (dunlop sportmax gpr-300) but if it was an unbalanced tire, wouldnt it be constant?

The engine is running fine, no vibrations from that. The RPM doesnt change with the shudder, nor does the speed of the bike. Id expect both if it was a slipping clutch. Hard acceleratio

I hear this all the time from behind the counter. "Guns are an investment". often times its someone trying to psyche themselves up, or justify to a spouse, and pretty much everyone believes it. But in reality, its total hogwash. Firearms are a tool that depreciate quite harshly as nobody in their right mind, or who is legally able to do so, would pay full price or close to it for a used item. The amount of use, and how well one cared for it will have an impact, but nothing is going to stop it. Id wager 99% of firearms bought today will be sold for a loss, given depreciation and inflation. Even if unused NIB

Hey guys,

Ill be doing my first chain job here in a week or two, and I have this question. When I set the slack, is it OK to be set while the suspension is carrying the weight of the bike, more speciffically when its on a rear tire stand?(pitbull). Ive done plenty of adjustments, but all my previous chain bikes (that i was smart enough to adjust) had maintenance stands that kept the rear tire off the ground, suspension unloaded when adjusting.

The bike is a 05 GSXR600

Ive ordered new factory spec sprockets front and back, an RK XSO 525 chain 110 link, and a Motion Pro PBR chain breaker/riveting tool.
