Outdoor Recreation - September 2007

I'm looking for an AR-15 barrel like the one in the link below (The R-4 Lightweight), but in stainless steel instead of chrome molly or chrome lined. I'm beginning to wonder if they exist. Anyone know of any manufactures who make a barrel similar to this in stainless?

I ****** my gun (.45) with a clip loaded with bullets. I have never shot this gun before (inherited).
I am 99% sure it is not loaded...but now I need to pull the trigger (without the clip in it) and have it NOT fire a bullet. (In crowded city).
I looked down the barrel, in the side, up the clip area, etc. I see NO bullet and have 7 in the clip and it won't fit another bullet. The other clips only fit 7 too that are the same.
I have another clip that fits 8 but it is a different metal polish/length.

Is it safe to disarm this gun...meaning, NO bullets will fire?
I am paranoid that if I do accidentally shoot a round off into the air the whole freakin' city will hear it.
Have I checked everything? (Gun safety tells me yes...) But that was with other handguns/rifles. Not a .45 :-)

I'm going salmon fishing/camping for 3 days and will only have a cooler full of ice (that I can refill with fresh ice). Will it be ok to keep the whole salmons I catch in the cooler? Or should I gut them and de-head them?

So in MD every handgun sold needs to be fired to have a "ballistic fingerprin" that goes to the feds. couldnt you change this by switching out the barrel, and if needed to change the indentation on the case, a new firing pin.

No I am not planning on killing anyonel, but I think its more of a privacy issue for me.

Often when I am on highways and other roads in the New York/ New Jersey area, I will see very large slightly angled rock faces with many holds that would be really cool to climb. Does anyone have any idea if it would be legal to climb these, as I would imagine that they are government property?

Ruger M77 Compact rifle in .243 Winchester. Also the same rifle in .308 caliber. This will be used for occasionally hunting deer but mostly for target shooting at the range.

What would do more damage to you if you got shot, a paint ball gun or a bee bee gun? My brother says paint ball and I say bee bee. Who is right, me or my brother? One of us gets 5 bucks.

My cousin is planning a Mountain Lion Hunting trip. He has a guy with a pack of dogs trained for hunting lions, taking him. He's not sure what caliber gun he needs for the hunt. The guns he has are....

Remington and Marlin 22lr (We both agree that these guns would never do on a trip like this.)
Smith & Wesson .40 semi-auto handgun. (He's thinking of taking this gun only as a back up.)
Ruger Hawkeye .204 bolt action rifle with a Leupold scope.
Remington 710 .300 Win. Mag. with 3-9x40 Bushnell scope.
Benelli Nova 12 gauge pump shotgun.

Which one of these guns would do for his trip? Or does he need another caliber gun for the hunt?

I recently went shooting with my dad, and he let me fire his .357. Is a .357 always a magnum, or is it two different guns? I also fired .38 ammo out of it, which made it more of a chick gun. I actually like the reg ammo as opposed to the smaller ones. I made a comment about a .357 being a total "chick gun," and the response to that made me think that the gun I shot wasn't an actual magnum. Help?

She is concerned about to much recoil. I have been told that a 25'06 would be a good caliber as far as recoil is concerned. My only concern is that she will have to make a perfect shot every time in order to have a clean kill. I'm thinking a 270, but would that be to much recoil?
