• Anything ‘published’ on the web is viewed as intellectual property and, regardless of whether it displays a copyright symbol or not, is therefore copyrighted by the originator. The only exception to this is if there is a “free and unrestricted reuse” statement associated with the work.

    In order to protect our members and TFL from possible litigation, all members must abide by the following new rules:

    1. Copying and pasting entire articles from another site to TFL is strictly prohibited. The same applies to articles from print or other media, and to posting photographs taken of copyrighted pages or other media.

    2. Copyright law provides for “fair use” of portions of a copyrighted work. You can copy no more than a SINGLE paragraph from the article to your post (3 or 4 sentences at most).

    3. You must provide a link to the article along with the name of website. For example: ww.xxx.yyy/zzz (The Lower Thumbsuck Daily News).

    4. You must provide, in your own words, a brief summary of the article AND your reasons for believing it will be of interest to TFL members. Failure to do so may result in the thread being closed or your post being deleted as a “cut and paste drive by.”

    5. Photographs and other images are also copyrighted. "Hotlinking" of images (so that it appears in your message) from other sites is also prohibited unless you own rights to the image. If you wish to share an image, provide a clickable link to it.

    Posts that do not follow these new guidelines will be altered or deleted by staff. Members who continue to violate this policy may lose their posting privileges at TFL.

    Thank you for your cooperation and your participation in TFL, the leading online forum for firearms enthusiasts.

Single-shot forum?

Have you considered having a single-shot forum? I've been getting interested in single-shots lately. There are all sorts of areas that differentiate single-shots:

<UL TYPE=SQUARE>
<LI>single-shot handguns can have very long barrels without being too heavy
<LI>single-shot carbines/rifles can have any kind of stock - collapsible, thumb-hole, pistol-grip - even under the latest California restrictions
<LI>Thompson/Center Contenders and Encores can be converted from pistol to rifle, but there are legal issues that the owner should understand before-hand
<LI>single-shots are the absolute easiest for wild-cat cartridge development
</UL>
 
Aw c'mon, Ewok. Tell us the truth. You CA guys are interested in single-shot because you've been watching events in Sacramento, right? Heck - hi cap mag's? You're just trying to hold on to single-shot's now, right? ;)

(sorry, but I just couldn't resist ...) ;)
 
Jeff,

We may have to use single shots, but I can hold 15 rounds in my mouth and spit them into the breach of a cracked action at a 60 rpm cyclic rate ;)
 
It is amusing to consider the sorts of evil single-shot rifles one might come up with. Of course, we're still constrained to having a minimum barrel length of 16in. for a firearm with a sholder stock, but other than that, we can have pretty much any sort of stock we want. I haven't, yet, tried to rapid fire my single-shot. But I'm confident that someone sufficiently skilled in the art could maintain a reasonable defensive position ;)
