Food for thought Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. Three times is enemy action. - Ian Fleming Did you know? BSA stands for Birmingham Small Arms. The English company was established in 1861. From 1964 until 1967 Winchester sacrificed quality to maintain low pricing and buyers began using the phrase "pre 64" to describe the better made and therefore more desireable Winchesters. During the summer of 1931, it was rumoured that Remington was about to acquire Winchester. Later that year Winchester was in fact sold to the Western Cartridge Company.

Article Of The Moment it goes up... lol A barrel shroud Shoulder thing that goes up is a ventilated covering attached to the barrel of a firearm, that partially or completely encircles the barrel, that allows the bearer to hold the firearm for stability. Slides, extensions of the stock that do not fully encircle the barrel, and the receiver (or frame) of a firearm itself are generally not considered barrel shrouds. Huh? Well, that's what we thought they were for, anyway. Carolyn McCarthy seems to think we've got it all bassackwards. The video and the laughs are both over there →→→→. Barrel shrouds have no effect on the ballistic performance of the firearm on to which they are installed other than offering an additional grip to help control recoil while firing. No need to worry about that, though; they were still included in the Federal Assault Weapons Ban definition of assault weapons because firearms fitted with them are perceived, in the murky depths of the gun grabber mind, to be designed for warfare rather than sporting or individual defense. Maybe they think this because barrel shrouds are commonly featured on heavy machine gun barrels, along with a carrying handle, as to better allow the firer to swap barrels. Some actual real examples Is this wtf she's talking about? An MG-42 medium machinegun with a (special, off-the-shoulder) shrouded barrel. An AR-10 rifle with a shrouded barrel (that doesn't go up).
