It's $20 for a box of 20 - buck a bullet, baby. I don't know of any other manufacturer making a gun for the .50AE... I've looked at several places, but I cannot find any reloading supplies for .50.

AE stands for Action Express, it is a .50 magnum round. Doesn't really mean anything, much like .45 ACP, .40 S&W, etc. Depends on who invents it first...

Im not sure how much Jen would like a H&K .45 UPS for Valetines, but it might be worth a shot??? (pun intended)
I talked to Steve C on mon. night and he told me that you guys were going to the gun show I should know if I can by Thurs.
Unfortunetly I OWE the feds some cash this year. We bought our house too late in the year to have any effect on our return and both of us had part-time jobs that didn't withhold for shit. I'll have to come up with another way to fund my furtherence of my personal stash.
Oh, I know.... How about I introduce a illegal law to the house that will take from the surplus and give to ME for MY stash. I will claim that the fuel bills were unduly harsh on me and that the extra 500 to 600 I'll have to spend on natural gas was earmarked for GUNS. I think I might find a few DFL peoples dumb enough to vote for it!

Sat - Sun, 17 - 18 Minnesota Weapons Collectors Show and Sale -- www.mwca.org 10:00 am - 6:00 pm Tickets, $5.00 general admission; children under 13 FREE Children under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian Touchstone Energy® Place
And there were adequate firearms to deal with the crisis that arose in their home in Merced, Calif. -- a San Joaquin Valley farming community 130 miles southeast of San Francisco -- when 27-year-old Jonathon David Bruce came calling on Wednesday morning, Aug. 23.
There was just one problem.
Under the new "safe storage" laws being enacted in California and elsewhere, parents can be held criminally liable unless they lock up their guns when their children are home alone... so that's just what law-abiding parents John and Tephanie Carpenter had done.
Some of Jessica's siblings -- Anna, 13; Vanessa, 11; Ashley, 9; and John William, 7 -- were still in their bedrooms when Bruce broke into the farmhouse shortly after 9 a.m.
Bruce, who was armed with a pitchfork -- but to whom police remain unable to attribute any motive -- had apparently cut the phone lines.
9-1-1 doesn't always work So when he forced his way into the house and began stabbing the younger children in their beds, Jessica's attempts to dial 9-1-1 didn't do much good.
Next, the sensible girl ran for where the family guns were stored. But they were locked up tight.
"When the 14-year-old girl ran to a nearby house to escape the pitchfork-wielding man attacking her siblings," writes Kimi Yoshino of the Fresno Bee, "she didn't ask her neighbor to call 9-1-1.
She begged him to grab his rifle and 'take care of this guy.'"
He didn't. Jessica ended up on the phone.
By the time Merced County sheriff's deputies arrived at the home, 7-year-old John William and 9-year-old Ashley Danielle were dead. Ashley had apparently hung onto her assailant's leg long enough for her older sisters to escape. Thirteen-year-old Anna was wounded but survived.
Once the deputies arrived, Bruce rushed them with his bloody pitchfork. So they shot him dead. They shot him more than a dozen times. With their guns.

Nice choice Tim! It's the gun of choice for our ERU "entry team". They all have nothing but good things to say about it.
I'm looking to buy a new gun. I want a 92fs stainless that was made in Italy. I also want three 15 round STAINLESS mags they should also be stamped "ITALY" I don't have to purchass them together.
Due to the fact that in the US we can't seem to use high quality steel my service gun is rusting. I know about 5 officers on the department that have stainless guns and they love them.

What in the world do we need guns for? So many people are killed everyday by guns and for what? Why do we need to own these destructive items? Do people really need these types of things in a free world? I cant figure it out.

Because you moron! THEY EXIST! They will not go away! Nothing you say can make that so. I'm not an advocate for having a firefight to solve every argument but jesus christ it is a absolute certanty that the people who really want guns and dont follow laws to do anything else in their lives will always be able to get them no matter what the laws say. It is simple reality that stricter laws will only take guns out of the hands of good people who only intent to have them to use when they absolutely have to, to protect their loved ones or themselves. I am an advocate for safely storing these weapons (locked up). Responsible use and behavior like learning how to use your gun and how to make sure that what your are shooting at you really want to kill. You seem to live in little matrix that you wish to change as you see fit. Well simpleton, then go live in one. But, just dont do anything in this contry to afect any possible law, like vote.
Guns are not going to go away! Only good people will get hurt by restricting our right to defend ourselves from people who are not heeded by laws. People who think making a law will make the bad thing stop are just ignorant.
I just bought a townhome and the first thing i did after signing the purchase agreement was to go apply for a permit to purchase handguns. I have been through gun safety training and intend to be professionaly trained in using the handgun i purchase, So that, god forbid, i should ever need it to save my life or the life of someone i love then i can do so.

The key words Skummy uses are "free world". Do you want to keep it that way? Chad is correct: guns exist. The more you limit them, the more power those with them posess. Why do we nuclear warheads? Backtrack: why do we need the bow? Your argument has no weight. Humans are all about the struggle for dominance and power.

Hey cramer, you ever in the business of reselling any of your pistols. I'm looking for a .41, .44, or possibly a 454 Casull, but would prefer the smaller two with a 5inch barrel. Dont really care about the finish. They go really fast up here used cause those are the standard bear-sidearms. Or if you know someone or come across one, email me or give me a call.

I'm totaly up for the gun fest it would give me an excuse to go buy the USP i want with money i dont have.
I had a (morbid but compelling) thought to use our color plotter at work to create some life size targets for an event like this. I would use the model in counterstrike of the terrorist arab guys with the red headbands! Since it is a character and not a picture of a real person i dont think if someone came across us they would really care. (not like they would say anything while seeing the arsenal we would have). But anyway is this a really good idea or a really bad one? I personally would find it a very good release of frustration and anger durring this time.
no. im not " in the buisness " of " re-selling " ANY firearms! i sell tractor parts for ziegler. and once in awhile, work on land cruisers.
if you are going to be carring a sidearm, i would suggest a stainless version of whatever you get.... the elements can be very damaging to a firearm that is not maintained REGULARLY!!!
In Minnesota: Gopher Rifle and Revolver Club P.O. Box 18023 Minneapolis, MN 55418 --FCSA sanctioned 1000 yard range
"While the .50 BMG can be fun to shoot at any distance, it's really beginning to come into its own at target distances where lesser calibers just give up. Whether you're into target shooting at a mile distance, plinking at 1-foot diameter rocks 1000 yards away, or are simply amused by keeping all your shots touching at 100 yards, you're going to need a safe range to shoot."

'Safest place on Earth' is gun capital of Europe by RAYMOND DUNCAN
SWITZERLAND is Europe's gun capital. It has more firepower per person than any other country in the world yet it is said to be one of the safest places on Earth.
Despite the prevalence of lethal hardware, the country has virtually no violent crime, there are only minimal controls at public buildings, and politicians rarely have police protection, although yesterday's events are bound to bring about a review of that situation.
Year after year, Switzerland has one of the world's lowest murder rates while sending machine guns to every member of their citizen army.
All males between 20 and 42 are required to keep rifles and pistols at home for the purposes of national defence and they are not kept in safes or with trigger locks. They are kept at the ready.
It was the Swiss passion for guns matched by their determination to keep their liberty that kept the Nazi war machine at bay.
When the Swiss government thought an invasion was imminent, it ordered every able-bodied man to stand by his post and defend it to the last round. Their determination, shooting skills, and the sheer quantity of weapons at their disposal persuaded Hitler that an invasion of Switzerland was not worth the cost and he should concentrate his efforts on conquering countries with strict gun control laws.
The nation's militia system requires males over 18 to be ready for a call to service.
Every Monday and Friday, men wearing uniforms and carrying weapons can be seen on commuter trains travelling to and from military camp for compulsory training.
Other countries have tennis courts and golf courses, the Swiss have shooting ranges. Almost every town has one, where reservists have to fire a set number of rounds each year to keep their weapons.
In restaurants and coffee shops, tourists sometimes find themselves competing with guns for places to hang their coats.
However, Switzerland is facing pressures for gun control.
Neighbouring countries are clamouring for tougher restrictions and the state parliament building shootings are likely to accelerate the demands.
This is a nice sidearm. US issue Berreta M9. Point and squeeze. Good accuracy and little recoil. Maitnance is an issue, but it's for the military. Hell all they do is drink, shoot, and polish boots. They clean these things more then there dirty asses.

Drink, shoot and polish boots. Hmmm...you know a lot about the military don't you Trany.
Have you ever fired an automatic grenade launcher (Mark-19) off the top of a moving Humvee? Shined boots or not, it's pretty exciting. Especially when you're hungover or still drunk from the night before.
I was at an "Automatic Fire" range last year, and nothing is more amazing than the deep bass of the .50 cal sounding off over the sound of seven M-60s rattling away.
Call me simple, but I'm still a M16A2 kinda guy. That's my weapon, I love it. You give me anything else, I'll fire it...well. But until I can purchase my own fun little killing toys, I'll stick with my weapons the Army gives me.

Never mind Tranny, Boondock. He was in the Navy. I guess I can't really tease him myself since I don't have any military service under my belt but from the people I know that have served, I seem to hear the word "pussy" used to describe guys in the Navy a lot.

Apparently guys from different branches of the military can't tease each other a little without it being a statement of disrespect toward those that have died in the line of duty. I see. Posts: 402 | From: Mpls, MN | Registered: Oct 2000
