    It's more to stop the sun glinting off the front sight post. It does also protect the sight from knocks which is extra important if it's driftable. With a rear peep sight the front sight hood...

    Over the past couple of years I have noticed a disturbing trend in modern rifle triggers. They appear to be designed by engineering graduates rather than gunsmiths, probably helped by CAD. They are...

    Ben Waimata liked post by Cigar On thread : What's the goods on gun safes

    Such a waste of high protein meat. I am sure if you asked the needy people if they would eat the meat which hasn't been inspected etc the answer would still be YES.
