The Rules.
1) Be nice. If you disagree, agreeably disagree. I have a fairly low tolerance for flaming, trolling, inciting arguments and negativity in general.
2) Auctions and guns for sale elsewhere. Links to open auctions and items for sale are allowed, but context is key. If the link is to ask about a feature of a rifle in a pending auction, it is certainly allowed. But a link to an auction for a gun located where you live (or one you have for sale) will be more than modestly suspect.
3) Threadjacking. Conversations being conversations, threads will drift. But intentionally changing a thread's topic is not allowed.
4) This is a family-friendly forum, so when you post a good rule of thumb might be would you let a minor child read what you posted. The word filter will eventually be operative.
5) Builds/modifications. Restoration is well within the guidelines here, as Krags haven't been available in the primary (read importer) market since before many Internet users were born. However, it might be best to refrain from discussion of Cavalry Carbine builds from receivers with no specific documentation as having been built by Springfield Armory AS Carbines or with specific documentation as having started life as Infantry Rifles. Forgeries are common and it might be best if we here at the Forum didn't add to the confusion.
6) Legal. If you wish to discuss gun laws (a somewhat popular topic in the US), the place for that type of discussion is the Political forum.
