People forget that France was the leader in arms development in many cases for centuries. Maybe not centuries, but there were a few isolated instances...like the Gras vs. the Dreyse Needle Gun of the Prussians. The 8mm Lebel...first smokeless, high velocity, small caliber. But then, for all their i...

Notice since the "Old man" and the kids are gone they are actually making guns that people want to buy? I don't think "no one needs more then 10 rounds" Bill would have ever let them make an AR type rifle, a scout type rifle or the LCP pistol. A changing of the guard is not alwa...

SR 45...gotta find one.

Old Time Hunter

Sold mine without ever firing it! Got the R1 in trade for another gun, then had an offer before I ever even shot it.

Thinking about buying one brand new too, but after playing with a Ruger SR45, believe I might go that way.

Wish I could run your videos out of photobucket...but my system does not allow.

Says I need to download "Real Player", tried multiple times, but no luck. Help desk says that is because my OS is not supported...still have XP Professional.

Is that true?

Guess I was just fortunate, forgot to buy a pack...a couple of weeks later my wife asked if I quit smoking...thought about it for a second. "Yeah, guess I did", I responded. That was 'bout fifteen, twenty years ago and never thought that I needed or wanted one. 'Course, never could stand t...

First new rifle I ever purchased....less than $50 at Treasure Island when I was 13 years old. Still have it. Between my boys and I we have put a lot of meat on the table with it.

Replaced the stock back ten year ago or so, Numrich Arms had a new one for like $30.

Hey guys...and maybe gals. Need some assistance in either finding an existing extractor or having one fabricated (possible advice as to whom might be able to accompish this?).

Well, can not say too much negative about any of the choices...but. Did you ever look at a CZ 550FS chambered for 6.5 X 55? Somebody mentioned the Rem 260, pretty much identical as the 6.5 X 55, and basically a copy. So if copying is the best flattery, why not get the original. And, if you can find ...

Most of you know that I got laid off last summer.

From time to time I have posted references to my Browning 1886, mostly because of both the times that I have attempted to fire it, it was plagued by "light" firing pin hits. Now granted, it has been fired once that I know of. After the first time I had an issue, it was taken to a gunny tha...

Bag the stock when you shoot from the bench. You would be surprised as to how much energy is absorbed by the 2# weight of the bag. I used to place a shot bag on top of the wrist, behind the bolt allowing for full use of the sights/scope for my kids. They learned to never having to blink due to recoil.
