Guns > Thursday Gun Links #17

Discontinuing the fine tradition of blogging from the future, SayUncle here with this week's gun links.

First, a trip around the gun blog world:

I address the anti-gunners eliciting questionable weapons transfers here and here.

Kevin addresses why you should pay attention to where you shoot.

Jeff has the weekly check on the bias.

Publicola warns of a ban on 50 Calibers.

James reviews the Springfield XD in 357 Sig.

Lots of stuff at the Shooters' Carnival. Go and read.

The Trainer discusses his new Walther P22.

Next up are some nifty new toys and other miscellany:

D&L Sports series of rifles look amazing. Al Paulson recently opined of the 300 Remington Ultra Magnum that Hit probability can reach 85 percent on a small humanoid target at 2,000 yards.

The gun zone has a report of a severe catastrophic failure caused by bad ammo. Be careful when buying reloaded ammo. In fact, I recommend that you don't.

Build it and they will come: Details of a receiver for the Ruger 10/22 that is built for three calibers (22LR, 22 Magnum, and 17 HMR).

No day is complete without some high quality gun porn. With that in mind, the posters at AR15.com have posted their collections. Good stuff.

The military is considering adopting 6.8MM round. The strategy page has a piece on the round and some comparisons.

The strategy page also has a look at the gun that will fire the new round:

One last item, need a gun safe? Have a vending machine laying around? Who doesn't? Use this handy guide to convert that Coke machine into a gun safe.

Thanks for reading and I hope that I met Les' expectations.

You did great. I wish Ruger would make that 10/xx gun with the built-in rail. I'd buy one in a heartbeat.

Yeah, just some guy out of his chop building it. HEck, buy one. 10/22s are easy as heck to work on.

I've got a .22LR semi-auto rifle, or I would. I don't have a .22WMR or a .17HMR, though, so I could justify buying a new gun that shot all three. :-)
