They probably wouldn't have, if it had happened, which it probably didn't.
There aren't any actual known cases of it that I've been able to find, just about everything written on the subject falls into one of two categories:
1) Christian texts decrying pagan excesses in general terms.
2) Renaissance texts decrying medieval excesses in general terms.
Like many awful things, it may have happened at some point, but it wasn't a legal or cultural institution in any significant way.
In other words, it's a myth.

Someone else may have a better answer, but the last time I looked all the "all in one" kits were pretty basic and cheap. I'd buy separately, if only to get the configuration I wanted (and make sure things like the bolt and carrier are really good quality).

One of the nice things they do is they'll offer a pretty standard kit, but then upgrade the trigger to a Geissele, and charge what the trigger alone usually costs.
The only things on a lower I really care about changing are the trigger and I like an ambi safety, since I shoot rifle lefty.

Yep, most "top 10" lists/articles are silly or weird. That one's outstanding in those respects, though. No Garand. No MG42. No STG 44. No MP 40.
But Reising? PPS? Sten gun? OK. Whatever.
Anyway muchas gracias CBD for the bang-stick thread!
Actually gotta clean my Garand. Forty-eight rounds through it on Thursday. I haven't detail-stripped either Garand since I got them (CMP), at which time I detail stripped, cleaned, cleaned and BLO'd the stocks.
Since lock-up is key and declines with removal from the stock, I am following the advice of some CMP forum M1 guys and limiting my detail strip to very rarely. I can use the tool (forget the designation) from the cleaning kit to disassemble the bolt in the rifle, so I've done that to clean one of the bolts.

========================
Speaking of pretty guns, I'd be interested sometime in a gun thread for tiny-hand people. A lot of these guns are for manly-hand people. Little W used to have (before that moose tipped over our canoe) firearms that I could barely maintain a good hold of.
I know that's crappy grammar, Ann, just give it a rest already.
What I'm saying is that not everyone who wants a weapon is size XL. Some of us of the feminine persuasion need something lighter, something smaller. I have one such item already, but i am having trouble finding something that doesn't make me immediately want to put it down, lest I tear a rotator cuff.
Posted by: grammie winger, Psalm 27:1 at October 17, 2015 04:47 PM (dFi94)
What I do is basically look for something like the M4Carbine.net forums, dig through and get a quick feel for which question-answerers have a background like serious armorers and competitive shooters, look at their advice and compare it to anything else people say on the boards about those sellers.
Probably a better tactic than asking random schoolchildren, anyway.
Haven't had a problem yet (fingers crossed).

I've found that most quality parts *can be had* for slightly more than shit cheap crap parts.
You certainly spend more on some parts, especially triggers and barrels.
I don't think you *can* spend as much on an AR, no matter what you do, as some people spend on their big game rifles.

Also a lot of the older Browning vest pistols are good for smaller hands

It's a trade-off. The lighter the weapon, the more (sharply) the recoil energy is transferred to your arm. Maybe something ported if you can stand shooting it.

I got my custom non-stock dowhangdanger charging handle for $35.
As they say, you can spend just about as much as you want for anything. People spend $30,000 on a watch, that doesn't mean watches are all ridiculous.
I probably couldn't make and sell a billet (as in metal, not plastic) trigger guard for less than that. I could stamp one in China for pennies, though.
I don't remember the price of the Magpul trigger guards, which I got some time ago for their shape, I think they're still plastic (but more robust than "stock").

"Grammie, S(ampersand)W has a lot of revolvers made for women and
smaller hands. LadySmith and Airweight come to mind. A lot of the older
manufacturers' revolvers also tend to have smaller grips. Keltec has a
small auto that is too small for my hands. "
Lady Smith and Taurus.
.
.
.Just one thing to keep in mind when trying out the grips on some of those guns, light weight means more felt recoil. And some of those smaller lighter revolvers can thump your hand fairly good even with moderate defensive loads. Lighter is not always better IMO.

Posted by: Spun and Murky at October 17, 2015 05:10 PM (4DCSq)
Yeah, that's ridiculous, billionaire-money for a gun, but enough crazy people buy them that H&H still makes them.
A couple of K is not ridiculous for a good rifle, but you can build a quality AR for well under 1000 and sometimes you can buy a quality one for under 700.
If you were both lucky and careful, you could probably build one for less than that, especially if you don't want anything non-standard.
Posted by: Merovign, Dark Lord of the Sith at October 17, 2015 05:10 PM (bLnSU)
La Stringereuse has a .357 LadySmith. I like it as a .38; at full power it's a bit harsh. But the ultra-light Taurus titanium is one of the nastier revolvers I've ever handled. Back of the trigger guard hits your gripping finger and bites.
'Small grips' does not have to equal 'tiny frame.' Also, I don't like snubbies. I think a pistol ought to have 4 inches of barrel, anyway. It does a lot to counter-act that snap. With a longer barrel and porting, the straight honest recoil of a .44 mag is not as hard to deal with as the wrist-torquing of a shortie .357.

Bravo company makes some really nice ambi ones, and you can find those at around $65. But, if you don't want/need ambi, I see no reason not to go with mil-spec.

Some of the stuff out there is clearly aimed at the more money than brains type.

This is an old story, but it still pisses me off, so, here: Couple years back, the TCU rifle team (all women there, a Title IX thing) won the national championship, and so got invited to the big lawn reception at the White House for all NCAA champion teams. They were, suitably, proud.
Obama didn't know that rifle was an NCAA sport, and then, he tried to bullshit them that he regularly trained on the M-16 with the Secret Service at Quantico.
National champion shooters. Women. From Texas (mostly). And thought they'd buy that.
What gave him away was that The Punahou School has a really excellent prep shooting program, and he'd never heard of it.
So, yeah. AK-15.

I think a better analogy would be when the import car performance market blossomed.
There were the performance guys, and those that were more concerned with looks/looking fast.
There were plenty of good parts out there, and plenty of silly ones. Silly- BOV sound generators. Huuuuuuge wings and ridiculous body kits.
The AR-15 market seems to be yet another example of human nature.

Last year she and her twins and her friend were sitting at a stop light. Sitting. Somebody rear ended her. Of course she was like "oh my god, my babies" but then she got hit again. She thought it was like a chain reaction but then the friend started screaming "he's coming back." She gunned it and luckily the car was still running. So now she's being chased by a maniac.
Call 911 and they're like "pull over," thanks for the suggestion but no.
Drives through town but the car is having trouble so she pulls into a well lighted parking lot, sees a guy and says "hey somebody is after us."
Guy pulls into the lot and comes to the car and started screaming at her. She has her gun in her lap, pointed at him, finger on trigger ready to fire....
She's very Christian and she said in her head she said a little prayer "dear god, I'm getting ready to send this person to heaven or hell, please let me make the right choice."
...Just then the guy backs up a few steps and she takes her finger off the trigger. Cop pulls in just then.
Turns out, it was not the maniac, it was the guy that had been in front of her, who had only seen "somebody hit ME and took off."

The one I've seen with the most differing calibers and styles is Taurus.
Taurus is Brazilian but they bought the Beretta plant when Beretta left and they produce a lot of similar/same pistols as Beretta does and they've made some designs of their own.
Go to a good well stocked gun store and ask to see their compact frame and sub compact frame models.
Or google those to get a list and then google the ones that seem attractive. Go to a manufacturers page to get all the specs and some good pictures.

Ya I think that's a good plan. I haven't been to see our gun guy in a while, because I thought we had enough. We were going in there so frequently that Bob would see us coming and start pulling stuff out for us to try. But Little W is in another part of the country for the time being, and a lot of our inventory followed him. Probably a trip to Bob is a good place to start.

Took two of my black powder revolvers out today for their exercise periods.
One is a Rogers and Spencer .44 which turns out to be a fine shooter. One of the few period weapons that the grips felt good to hold.
Most others, in particular the Remington New Model Army have really small grips.
The other revolver was an original manufacture .44 cal Remington--another sweet shooter. Only push 28 grains of 3f through that one, though. Everything else is max load.

Outside I saw a squirrel sitting two feet away to the right of a tree, and two feet in front of the squirrel was a chipmunk putting on a very angry display.
After a couple seconds I saw movement 3 feet behind the squirrel. Another chipmunk was sneaking up from behind. When it got close enough it leaped upon the squirrel and was immediately joined by the other chipmunk.
A tumble of fur, cloud of dust, and then the squirrel shot up the tree like it had a rocket in it's butt.
I saw all this, and I still have a hard time believing what I saw.

Some counties are in violation of the law and court decisions and won't issue permits, but most counties will issue.
Unfortunately, the few highest population counties are in the "fuck the people" category.

-soak overnight in vinegar water
-parboil for 4 minutes
-glaze some onions in real butter in iron skillet
-brown your squirrels in the skillet with onions
-remove squirrels
-make some standard brown gravy (lots of pepper) in skillet
-add squirrels back and simmer for 20 minutes

I cut 8" lengths of PVC pipe, then mix peanut butter with rat poison and put a blob in the middle of each piece of pipe. I lay them along the foundation, and the squirrels and chipmunks can get at the bait, but dogs can't. It works pretty well.....

Squirrels can be very good eating. Simply freeze until you have half a dozen. Internet had how to skin and clean. And lots of recipes. Squirrels are relatively clean animals that eat good food. That is often a criterion for good taste.

231 weft-cut-loop @ 204- squirrel taste bad?
No way! First don't just eat them one at a time. Get a whole mess of them (8-10).
-soak overnight in vinegar water
-parboil for 4 minutes
-glaze some onions in real butter in iron skillet
-brown your squirrels in the skillet with onions
-remove squirrels
-make some standard brown gravy (lots of pepper) in skillet
-add squirrels back and simmer for 20 minutes
Best served with grits. Yum.
^^^+1000!
Perfect recipe. Same for rabbit, just less rabbit.
For TEOTWAWKI times, snares are much more efficient and quiet...

That seems like a good idea. I have new neighbors who let their dog run free, despite me warning them the area is full of lyme ticks and rocky mountain fever carrying ticks. They've got little kids, but heaven forbid the dog can't run free. To carry ticks to her kids. I've kinda written them off as know it all liberals.
Had a next door neighbor at the Jersey shore who died of rocky mountain spotted fever so I don't poo-poo ticks. Or lyme, which I've gotten a couple times.

Oh I've tried it. Grandma and Grandpa were dirt poor and the only meat they had was what he caught, shot or trapped. I ate it because that's what they had and I appreciate the hard work it took Grandpa to find food for his family, after a long day of work. I'm just saying if I never ate another squirrel in my life, I would be okay with that.

I've written a ton of computer code in my life. Most in 'high level' languages -- which sounds high level but is the closest to plain old english. But at a certain point of hitting a key a bunch of magic occurred and all my instructions went down to a very low level which on my best ever day I could never understand.
So I'm watching some program on the moon landing and these tech people write the computer code for the landing craft, send it off to MIT, who converts it to low level instructions, and sends it back to NASA where two little old ladies pass wires back and forth through some breadboard for months on end -- hand wiring the computer code.
The moon landing and return was absolutely amazing for the technology of the day.

Mine is a Model 1903 Mannlicher Schoenauer in 6.5X54 M.S., has original claw-type mount bases for a telescopic sight (which, alas, I do not have and have never been able to find) and an original 3-leaf Express-Rifle-style rear sight with matching ramp-style bead front sight, complete with engraved action and double-set trigger. Very nice burled-Walnut stock, hand-checkered grip and fore-end panels, steel fore-end tip cap and checkered buttplate. Custom re-fitted/re-stocked sometime between the World Wars in Austria, and then later - probably around the late-60's/early-70's - glass-bedded to stabilize barrel-to-stock fit. At over 100 years old, it's still a "tack-driver" - if I do my part properly, it will make one fairly-largish ragged hole out of 3 to 5 shots at anything out to 300 yards. Premium hunting rifle, good for anything up to bear-size game, and a lot of fun to shoot...

Ate squirrel for the first time when I moved to Texas. Mr. D killed four or five of 'em in our tiny backyard and I made a squirrel pie. Was tasty, but I couldn't eat much. Seems I have an aversion to seeing my dinner actually killed and skinned in front of me.
I told Mr. D he can kill as many animals as he wants, just skin, gut and cut them up before he brings them home.

Here in the People's Democratic Republic of Massachusetts, we have about 5 weeks of bow hunting, followed by 2 weeks of shotgun, followed by 2 weeks of primitive firearms. And you need to pay extra for an archery stamp and for a primitive firearms stamp. Fuck this state in particular....

During the winter after the 1977 season, Dennis Lehman, who thought that the team needed a mascot similar to San Diego's Famous Chicken, created the Phanatic with help from Harrison/Erickson of New York City (now known as Acme Mascots), which had ties with Jim Henson's Muppets, and the team's marketing and promotions department. Instead of a number on the back of his jersey, he wears a star. The character was named for the fanatical fans of the team.

The Phanatic also has the dubious distinction of being the most sued mascot in sports.

Could be, but I don't remember that. I do remember that once the Phanatic got hit in the chest by a foul ball. Problem was, that was right at head level of the guy in the suit, and it knocked him out.

Hmm. It is possible to catch without ingesting. Tick transmission and such. But if you wear gloves when you're cleaning the wild rabbits and cook them right, there's not much chance of contracting it. Plague, now....I do remember seeing signs in CO when I lived there warning that the local rodent population was carrying plague.

Now, for civilian carry, I think 9mm is probably the best, followed by .45. But .40's still a really good round if you can handle it, and most any hollow point is going to perform well out of a pistol chambered in it.

I know, right, like anyone in business these days has a clue about merits. They've all been academicised, therefore, no fookin' sense at all. Bait a trot-line? Wut? Shoot a rifle and hit a man-sized target at 200 yards? That's illegal where you are.
Nonetheless, there I was, and a steady paycheck, blue sky beyond.
I bought an enduro, thinking to spend the rent I saved on a hard piece. I really got into it, rode it out into the desert to where I could shoot my rilfle at unknown ranges (before lasers, going all mil-dot), with a backpack of provisions, and a membership at a place I could swim and shave before work. Gas wasn't that high, and with 2 wheels I did not use so much. Ammo was the big cost.
I found a cave, way high above where the motorized traffic went. I actually was able to predict it from the map, but don't count on doing that yourself. Dry, airy, and protected from the worst winds, I used it without molestation, hiding my moto below, until one night....
She came in snarling, having my scent as she did from the urine patch outside, and, I suppose, my groins, hair, and pits. At hat altitude, I expected about a 20-degree F. night that night, so I suppose she did not want to shiver in a tree.
It took a while, but we gained each others trust. Unlike a typical male of her species, I suppose, I did feed her, almost as much as she fed me, with my rifle and it's efficiency. Could I call it gratitude?
You be the judge. We did have consensual relations, and she was fine, but Nature never let us marry, as it was contrary. But, we never killed eah other, we loved each other, and we stayed with each other until she moved on. I respected her brood the next spring, but it was not mine.
We remained friendly neighbors until a poacher got her.
I got him. My African rifle at 50 yards after 2 nights stalking. The 400 grain round blew out his abdomen. Sadly, he did not live long, but he saw my face, and knew the reason. Fuckin' poachers. It ain't right.

I think it was 09 or something when the Red Sox had a losing record and some of the sports media jock sniffers ratted out some of the players for shenanigans in the clubhouse while their team was struggling on the field. Playing cards, eating chicken, and drinking beer. Giving each other haircuts, too, I think.

It would seem as if a 2-inch barrel would be much less of a drawback with that firing system, but I can't say so from experience. Ballistics fans have assured me that two inches is "enough" rifled barrel to impart proper spin and direction even at the gentlemanly range of 25 yards, contrary as the notion may seem. So, "in theory" if any snubnose would be good, that would be the one.

And that is exact. One inch = 2.54 cm = 25.4 mm. No more, no less. By definition.
Definitely not climbing on the the metric vs Imperial bandwagon, on either side, simply noting that for lengths, the conversion is not in any way hard to do.
And, being a hands-on wrench-twisting kind of guy, take this to the bank:
8 mm = 5/16" close enough that wrenches either way will fit
9 mm = 3/8" pretty close, most cases
10 mm has no close fit in inch standard
11 mm = 7/16" close in most cases, but it would be better to use the designated wrench
12 mm no close fit in inch standard, no way, no how
13 mm = 1/2" wrenches are all but mutually interchangeable
14 mm = 9/16" as above
15 mm no good inch equivalent
16 mm ditto
17 mm same as 11/16" wrench; so close it doesn't matter
18 mm no inch equivalent, and GM lurves them some 18 mm, so if you own a GM with metric fasteners, buy an 18 mm socket, because "standard" metric sets don't include it.
19 mm = so close to 3/4" it doesn't matter
End of lesson.
