Permaculture in Iceland – Update from January: Growing many perennial species indoors!

Hi everyone! Its January in Iceland, and it has been four months since I have been ordering items for my seed collection and attempting to germinate them. Then, with artificial lights, the challenge is to keep them alive and well, over the dark Icelandic winter. Since the day is only around 3 hours now, I keep the seedlings indoors, with four conventional energy saving fluorescent bulbs. I switch them on 14 hours during the day, and switch off when I go sleep. I also have cheap geothermal hot water (a blessing of Iceland) for radiators above which I try to germinate the tropical species (such as dates, palms, pigeon peas, jícama), in mixtures of…

Illinois Senate Advances Gun Ban Measures on Semi-Automatics

UPDATE: The Illinois Senate failed to act on the measures detailed below before adjourning Thursday night, according to the (Davenport, Iowa) Quad-City Times. The bills could resurface when the General Assembly reconvenes, though lawmakers are unsure of a timetable. The State of Illinois is back to its same old anti-gun tricks, but if anti-gun legislators get their waythis time, it could mean the end of semi-automatic firearms in the Land of Lincoln. According to Fox News, an Illinois Senate committee advanced two measures Wednesday that, if passed, would place major restrictions on semi-automatic firearms and high-capacity magazines. The (Springfield, Ill.) State Journal-Register reports that…

First Look: .17 Winchester Super Magnum

Plinker, competitor, small-game getter and predator taker. Yes sir, the rimfire serves plenty of purposes and in doing so has become America’s darling; it’s fun to shoot, cheap to use and just plain efficient. But if you thought for a second that there were no more conceivable variations to market, then  Winchester Ammunition’s got news for you with its brand new .17 Winchester Super Magnum. This new load spits a 20-grain bullet at 3,000 fps, and a 25-grain load at 2,600 fps with energy levels right at 400 foot-pounds and 375 foot-pounds respectively—150 pounds more than the 17 HMR and solid 60 foot pounds more than the hottest .22 Winchester Magnum loading.

A $100 Hunting Rifle?

I’ll say this right off the bat: I’ve always been more of a handgun guy. I don’t hunt. I have nothing against hunting and such, I just don’t do it and, I must admit, I don’t have an interest in hunting. So the desire to purchase a rifle or shotgun was never really on my radar. That’s why TJ is a writer for the site. He hunts. He loves rifles. He knows a lot about them. That way, I could stick with my handguns. Then a buddy of mine let me shoot some of his rifles…

Editor’s Pick: ARs Sold Out? Think Mauser!

With the recent gun control hysteria, ARs are getting harder to find. As an alternative, don’t miss the Mauser – they are hardy, accurate, can be sporterized and customized, and are available in calibers for which finding ammunition isn’t a great challenge.

Turkish Delight

I was recently given the chance to test fire a SARB6P. I was at my favorite gun shop and I was told basically to take this gun home and a box of bangs and report back. I was in the right place at the right time and I sure like when that happens.The SARB6P is a compact single-action/double 9mm from SAR (Sarsilmaz) Arms out of Istanbul, Turkey. SAR Arms has been around since 1880. This was one of several of the Rockledge Florida-based importer EAA ( https://eaacorp.com ) guns in the display case at my shop.

The Toll Hurricane Sandy Took On One Man’s Gun Collection

A guest post by Jesse Ingall from the blog Ideas, Thoughts and Happenings. These firearms were brought in to be completely cleaned of rust and salt. They were flooded when the tide rose during Hurricane Sandy. They sat in salt water for a week or so. I ran a steel brush through the barrels a bunch. Then I attempted to run a patch through one of the barrels and the pitting shredded the patch. Butt plate of a Mauser. Before and after: You can really see the difference on the Enfield butt plate: I sanded, sand blasted and blued this 1911. The pitting was so bad that I had to sand the frame and slide. Turned out great I think. A rusted out side…

Hornady’s New .45 ACP +P

Hornady introduced a new load in the company’s young Critical Duty line of ammunition designed for law enforcement. The new .45 ACP round uses a 220 grain bullet and is loaded to +P pressures. From a 5” test barrel, the round makes for 975 feet per second, which works out to be about 464 foot-pounds of energy. The bullet is a specially designed FlexLock bullet that uses a polymer tip in a hollowpoint to help ensure expansion and prevent the clogging of the bullet’s cavity. Additionally, a “massive” InterLock band is used by Hornady to prevent the separation of the jacket from the bullet. Hornady introduced the Critical Duty line of ammunition in later 2011, and only offered 9mm and .40 S&W loads …

Winchester to move Model 70 production to Portugal in 2013

Winchester has recently admitted on its Facebook page that 2013 will see Model 70 rifles assembled in Portugal instead of South Carolina. Winchester states that the change will allow them to increase their output of Model 70 rifles to meet demand. Parts for the rifles will still be made in the U.S.A., but will be shipped to Portugal for final assembly and fitting before being shipped back to the U.S.A. for sales and distribution. SX2, SX3, and Model 101 over/under shotguns are already manufactured according to this model, so it must be more efficient than it sounds. Winchester aficionados already differentiate between pre- 1964 and post- 1964 manufactured Model 70 rifles. Will this change of final assembly point add yet…

Quote of the Day – Empathy

“What kind of empathetic people exploit the occasion of murdered children and a distraught public as the proper time to ask for support of their agenda?”- Howard NemerovHoward asks a great question here at the end of his excellent piece. The answer? People who have no empathy for those murdered. Anti-gun politicians like Feinstein, Cuomo and their ilk do not care one bit about those killed. They only care about two things. 1. Doing what is politically expedient so that they can continue to hold power. 2. Disarming their constituents.
