Firearm Forum Question: What Kind of Leather Conditioner to Use on Rifle Slings and Holsters

Ask A Firearms Question:

What kind of Leather Conditioner should I Use on my Rifle Slings and Holsters? 

Thank you Betty the Boop.

Answer :

Blog Administrator -

The best product to use is Virgin Olive Oil.
Reason, Olive Oil does not contain water. Many leather conditioners contain water.
Water inhibits rust and corrosion.
Simply apply, let stand for 15 minutes, wipe excess off.
I recommend applying the Virgin Olive Oil to all your leather slings and holsters every 6-months.
You can apply the olive oil to the inside of a holster, it will also help keep moisture off the handgun.

Commentary -

Although there is a lot of hype about leather conditioners Virgin Olive Oil is all natural and will not harm either the sling, holster, or firearm.

==> My recommendation is -
Virgin Olive Oil for all your Firearm Leather Accessories.

Firearm Forum Question: Understanding The Gun Control Issues, an Overview

Ask A Firearms Question:

I am having problems with this whole Gun Ownership Debate. Can you please sum up what the hell is going on with my 2nd Amendment and these so-called Gun Rights issues? 

Thank you Charles (Charlie) Everett Rhodes.

Answer :

Blog Administrator -

I will try.

First it is important to forget what bill is introduced in Congress for the simple reason we have 3 individual but distinct branches of the government:
The Congress (U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate); The President (White House); and Judicial (Federal Courts).

In Congress bills are introduced either by the Senate or the House. If one has something different then a caucus is held between the 2 houses to come up with a final bill. Sometimes, one may pass a bill but it must go to the other for approval. If both houses in Congress approve a final version of the bill, then goes to the President for approval and signature. It then becomes the law of the land until a Federal Court determines otherwise.

Now onto the general outline of the Gun Control Issues:
The two major parties (Democrats and Republicans) seriously differ on Gun Control.
Basically the Democrats want the following passed into legislation and they are not willing to compromise on their issues, thus we get deadlock and nothing passed.

At issue are the following items -

1) The Democrats want the Assault Rifle Ban back with even stricter provisions. This would prevent, in most cases, items such as an AR15 or AK-47 sale. 

2) The Democrats want to limit the size of Magazines for any weapon to a maximum of 10-rounds.

3) The Democrats want to ban anyone on the Terrorist Watch List and/or the No-Fly List to purchase a firearm of any type. The Republicans oppose this primarily because they say some people get on the list and don't belong there. The Republicans want a person on any LIST to have the right to a hearing by a Federal Magistrate or Judge to get their name off the list. Democrats have opposed this even though some members of Congress have been placed on the No Fly List. 

4) The Democrats want to make it mandatory that ALL Gun Sales must have a background check. Simply this closes the loop hole on gun sales at Gun Shows and Online Sales. The primary problem with this is it prevents a person from selling their own privately owned firearm to another person. It also may be interpreted by the courts that you cannot inherit a firearm without a background check.

=> Most Republicans with help from the NRA (National Rifle Association), and GOA (Gun Owners of America) oppose these changes.

Note: To get a bill passed requires 60 votes in the U.S. Senate. This again is why the 2016 Presidential Election is so important. Hillary Clinton supports everyone of these measures, while Donald Trump opposes most of them.

=== > This posting is NOT a Legal Opinion nor does it claim to cover or explain all the Gun Issues facing America today.

Caution Readers: When viewing Internet sites such as Yahoo News and Google News -or- Listening to News Broadcast on the TV, be aware that almost every broadcast from CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, MSNBC, and Fox News is tainted mostly leaning toward a Liberal agenda. Newscasters today cannot report the NEWS accurately they must slant it in their favor. Some of these news casts are outright lies and fabrications. One of the problems with sites like Yahoo News is they pick up news from other sites and published it without checking the content or accuracy.

Firearm Forum Question: What Does it Mean When a Firearm Discharges Out-of-Battery

Ask A Firearms Question:
What Does it Mean When a Gun Discharges Out of Battery? 
Thank you The Patriot Train.

Answer :

Blog Administrator -
This is when a Firearm discharges (fires) when the slide or bolt is not fully closed. This can result in the firearm exploding sending shrapnel flying everywhere injuring or killing the user (shooter), and any bystanders to close.
See photos below ....

Firearm Forum Question: Kimber 84M Bolt Action Rifle Recall Notice

Ask A Firearms Question:
Whats up with the Kimber Model 84M Bolt Action Rifle?
Thank you Ruddi James.

The Kimber Line of Model 84M Bolt Action Hunting and Target Rifles:
Mouse over, Click on image to enlarge ...

Answer :

Blog Administrator -
The Kimber 84M Bolt Action Rifle is under massive RECALL for a safety issue with the Bolt that could cause the rifle to discharge while in the safe mode.
Kimber refers to this as a malfunction, we consider this a serious safety issue and a bad design with poor quality management.
This is NOT Kimber's first Recall. They also had a Recall on their Solo Model Handgun, see Link below.

Use the Appropriate Link Below

Kimber's Website Link -
http://www.kimberamerica.com

Kimber's Recall Notice for the 84M Rifle, Bolt Function Safety Recall Link -
http://www.kimberamerica.com/safety

Kimber's Complete List of 84M Rifle Serial Numbers -
http://www.kimberamerica.com/serial-84m

If your firearm serial number is listed contact Kimber immediately.
Do NOT operate or use your Kimber 84M Bolt Action Rifle.
Kimber will repair the 84M Rifle free of charge.
If you are in the List of Serial Numbers affected, call Kimber at once for instructions at -
888 243 4522 M-F East Coast Time, USA
 - or -
Email: cs513@kimberamerica.com

The suggested retail price ranges from $1,223.00 to $2,240.00 for this Rifle. At those prices better care and a superior product should be guaranteed to their customers. Add to the fact two Hunting Calibers are missing in choice for the buyer: The 30-06 and the 300 Win Mag.

==> My recommendation on the Kimber Model 84M Bolt Action Rifle is -
a NO BUY.

Firearm Forum Question: What is M.O.A.

Ask A Firearms Question:
New to shooting with a scope. Can you explain and define MOA?
How does MOA determine the Rifle Scope I use?
Thank you Ty Haden.

Subsequent related question -
I have a Remington Model 750, 30-06 Rifle. I want to install a Picatinny Rail on my Rifle. How many minutes of angel does this rifle have?
Thank you Mr. Puma.

MOA is an abbreviation that stands for - 
Method of Angle
The Definition of M.O.A. is:
MOA is essential a convenient method for shooters using English units to measure angle.
One (1) MOA = 1.0472 Inches at 100 Yards (91.44 meters).
Rifle Scope Manufacturers and Shooters both simply round the 1 MOA = 1 Inch, which makes MOA a handy unit to use in ballistics.
One of the most common reticles in Optics is to use a Red Dot which is placed on the target by the shooter. These are generally a small Red Dot measured in 5 MOA. The Dot size is generally 1.5 mrad which is small enough not to obscure the target but large enough to quickly acquire a target.
Many Optics now offer a combination of Green Dot and Red Dot. Green Dots are more visible during bright sunlight and Red Dots work better in cloudy overcast daylight, indoor shooting ranges, or night vision. These optic devices use a battery and project a dot to the target. Correct acquisition (aiming) is done by adjustments up or down and right and left, which is referred to as Vertical and Horizontal, the same method used in a Rifle Scope.
Often times in action shooting with a handgun, a larger dot is used for fast movement and accuracy.
Rifle Scopes do not use projected color optics, instead they place a cross hair or cross with a dot on the target of vision that is seen by looking through the scope with the naked eye, see photos below ....

Many Shooters use a Rangefinder to establish the distance from their shooting point to the target. This device simply sends out a laser beam and measures the distance from the target to the front of the rangefinder. These are very handy when not shooting at a gun range with pre marked target distances.
I personally use a Leupold GX-3, shown below ...

M.O.A. -
Typical Rifle Scope Dial Settings ....

Sighting a target using MOA ....

Answer :

Blog Administrator -
M.O.A. or Method of Angle is not complicated to understand if you do not read more into it than simply follow the use.
Below are 2 Youtube Videos.
The first video explains MOA in detail and how to use Method of Angle for Shooting.
The second Video explains how to choose a Rifle Scope for your needs.

As to how many minutes of angle a particular rifle has varies on every rifle, type of scope and optics used. Consult both the manual of the firearm and the manual for the scope or optics used. Hopefully the two videos below will also lend some assistance, see more after the videos.
