. Bondi and the others 'in charge' need to stop this stuff, AND need to stop these rogue 'judges' from disallowing any Executive Branch action that the Obama/Biden/Clinton crowd doesn't approve of. https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/04/court-documents-prove-incomprehensivle-abuse-neglect-j6-priso...
. I have mostly Marlins (1894, 336's) and Rossis (92's) from 32-20 to 45-70 and in between. I prefer Marlins overall due to sturdy and few parts, and so many interchangeable parts with no fitting needed, but the Marlins of recent manufacture have forends that are too beefy for my taste (easy enough ...
. I guess we all hope our kids will learn from our mistakes; I often get 'just enough' to buy that 'next' gun on my list, and 'just enough' to put a halfway decent scope on it or whatever. But then it isn't the 'perfect' one, by the time I've put a hundred rounds downrange, I'm already thinking abou...
. I was musing about how I’d never had a Browning HiPower or CZ75 and how the Canik pistols look good…then my son reminded me “Dad, you already HAVE a bunch of handguns; some you hardly ever shoot; you should spend that ‘gun money’ on more ammo and practice with whichever one is your favorite. Then ...
. It was my understanding that the Rossi rifles in the 'normal' chamberings didn't have any magazine-tube issues, any more than their WInchester parent, or their Marlin cousins, but that the extra recoil of the high-pressure 454 Casull rounds created an issue, remedied by threading the magazine tube...
I read this Eleanor Roosevelt quote today and it really struck me. "Lest I continue in my complacent way, Help me to remember that somewhere out there, a soldier died for me today. As long as there be war, I then must ask and answer: Am I worth dying for?". Definitely worth remembering...!
. The amount of passive-aggressive fake 'cooperation' and outright sabotage Trump and his cabinet and appointees are facing is incredible...! https://x.com/JamesOKeefeIII/status/1915175452404035624 https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/04/another-leak-latest-attack-exposes-pete-hegseths-use/ These t...
. This is an interesting podcast for those like me who who don't live in the military/strategic world, so need a basic update on terrorism today, and the things to be alert for. https://youtu.be/ot6uWij6z70 The part where they decided not to mess with Obama because it would have put Biden in place w...
. I always wanted a Contender in that chambering... but never got anything in it, not even a levergun... My 'all-arounder' choice would probably be a 35 Remington - heavy enough to hit and make big holes in big game, and with proper bullet construction and placement would take any North American gam...
We have the 22lr lever And 32-20 lever covered now And 348win.....NOT for beginners! Or lightweights. That 30-30 is right there in the middle especially w reduced loads, and powder that won't give "loud" report and muzzle flash. Well now that is a great spread of leverguns for sure - and ...
. I tend to think you might wind up with MORE than one levergun eventually, so I'd START with a 357 Magnum. It is plenty for practical needs unless you need to hunt game larger than whitetail or more than 100 yards away. It is so much easier to learn to shoot WELL that shot placement becomes better,...
. Yes I do think the 'toxicity' of ivermectin was mostly exaggeration and fabrication and sometimes it just got lumped in with other meds that were somewhat toxic. The 'drench' shouldn't be used in humans. The 'horse paste' is difficult to dose accurately unless you weigh 500-2,000 pounds, but a 5-d...
. It reminds me of when I was in college and got to return home to the family homestead for an occasional weekend. Often the best places to pitch a tent would be 'taken' by city-folks who figure anything outside their subdivision is a public park. Sometimes I'd chase them off, and occasionally if th...
. I found this interesting - https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/in-wyoming-the-eastern-shoshone-tribe-decided-to-classify-buffalo-as-wildlife-here-is-why/ar-AA1Dkjok (I thought they were 'bison' though, not 'buffalo'...) It makes sense to me, but I don't live "out there" - anyone here have ...
. Not being Catholic, I've been unaware of the rift(s) within their ranks. https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/04/he-will-have-account-crimes-he-has-committed/ I guess I'm glad to see some pushback when ANY church goes all soft and starts advocating for socialist government... It is one thing for ...
. I assume God gave me free will and the ability to defend myself in order that I take care of THAT as best I can (which means to CCW ALL the time); that frees Him up for earthquakes and tornados and other stuff I can't control. I've never seen any virtue in going unarmed, although some of my friend...
. I posted a lot of resources: See this thread - Thread on repurposed drugs (like ivermectin) and Cancer A couple of my own patients are trying it now, and one in particular seems to be having far more success with it than with the chemotherapy (they failed). Keep in mind that most protocols with th...

The military is offering to hire back the members who they forced to 'voluntarily quit' over refusal to get the Covid vaccine - now known to have been both ineffective as well as dangerous. https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2025/04/19/exclusive-green-beret-veteran-john-frankman-the-department-of-...
. Nice...! Our problem (in Indiana) is that the humidity is so terrible - in the winter any exposed metal gets condensed moisture unless the metal is hotter than the air, and in the summer, even though the metal is warm, the humidity is so high everything rusts. Really good 'climate-control' may be ...

The only good thing is that their slate of presidential nominees for 2028 is so comically moronic... :lol: https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/04/harris-aoc-buttigieg-lead-new-2028-democrat-presidential/ ...however, the 'woke' progressive crowd seems just deranged enough to vote for them... :rol...
. Normally the thought of a military veteran inspires me with respect. After all, they at some point potentially put their life on the line to protect others. But when they advocate the destruction of our society, abandonment of our values, and the putting of innocent civilian lives at risk not only...
. https://youtu.be/lLfTDTxL2X8 Looks like armed citizens are safer and more effective; not necessarily 'better than cops', but thy have the advantage of already being on-site, already knowing what happened, and already knowing the key players. They also have the element of surprise, being without un...
The headspace and NO GO gauges bring up a subject that is one of my pet peeves from the industry. This is not directly related to Ted's original question on the feel of his bolt over a NO GO gauge. In SAAMI specs there is a MIN and a MAX headspace. For 30-06 and many bottleneck rifle cartridges, th...
. I tend to refine and be very picky about a CCW holster, and I have some others I like for various purposes, but a lot of times I just want to clip on whatever firearm would be appropriate for whatever chore or other outside activity I’m doing. I may be planting tree seedlings from the state for a ...
. Was shooting a 'Century Arms' franken-Garand the other day and it wasn't cycling well (wound up improving after a lube job), but got to wondering as to the 8-round clips, and where mine were - I have about a dozen.... somewhere . So rather than actually LOOK for them, I thought the same thing I al...
I'm hoping he finds the bolt. He's in the middle of downsizing and moving right now. He thought it was around there still, so I'm going to give it a couple of weeks and see if it turns up. A sure way to make it turn up is to order one - as soon as payment clears, the old one will turn up. Happens t...
The best trappers are the pre-war originals. But if you think a 64 short rifle is pricey......... :D Here's what I have. Only 2 are "factory". The rest we built in my buddy's shop. Sadly, he passed away this winter. The 1892 on the far right in the 1st pic is a first year receiver that ha...

. Our homestead 'rules' - if it has more than two legs, it isn't allowed to roam free in the house (so no insects, spiders, dogs, or cats - caged snakes and fish are ok). If outside, anything is allowed, although we will catch and relocate venomous snakes to more remote property areas where little k...
Good stuff guys Thanks! I'd like to handle one in person, but doubt I will bump into one. Pricey to keep on shelf, and low production? I don't recall ever seeing a dealer in the Northeast. They are almost a 'custom-order' gun, but I'm glad I have one. Like I said in another post, having a fewer num...
. As others have said, it is mostly about "can you shoot well with the particular rifle?" and "are you using a bullet up to the task penetration-wise?" than it is about a particular cartridge. I think 35 Remington would be a nice choice, or 375 Winchester, as cartridges that make...
. I'd rather have ten guns that might have cost $3,000 each, than fifty that I bought for 'only' $800 each, and in the end would have spent less money anyway. I learned that lesson late in life, so I have a bunch of 'decent' guns, but few 'excellent' guns. I could have met my lever-action goals with...
.
This was a 'vegan' propaganda piece, but it struck me that this is the hypocrisy of the 'left' - they pretend to be all about peace and love and tolerance and kindness - yet THEY always seem to be the ones turning to violence.
. It looks like, maybe the question has been answered, but I could measure mine, if need be. As others have said, I think the actual designation of 89 refers to the fact that they came up with an action in between the length of the 86 and the 92. My BHA 89 is the eight shot carbine 'blued' (nitrided...
I thought he was still in charge of the FBI but not the ATF :? You're right - I corrected the post title. Still weird. Why the change...? I haven't heard much from/about Bongino, either. I guess this quote sums it up: "... It remains unclear how the leadership change at ATF could affect the wa...
. I think the second half/hour should have been first, as I almost didn’t listen since I always regarded Jones as crazy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XVaUsDzdq4E He may be, but even crazy people are sometimes worth listening to. Besides, he is clearly more credible than the political establishmen...
I know that many churches have programs to help local people in need and you don't need to be a parishioner/member - you just need to have the need and be willing to ask. In fact, they are usually thrilled to help someone where they know the help is being used for the purpose it is intended, versus...
. I have shot 9mm in a Ruger Blackhawk 357 Mag (with the appropriate cylinder), and 45 ACP in a Ruger Redhawk 45 Colt/ACP with its fancy dual-cartridge system and 9mm in a Ruger LCR that only fires 9mm (full moon clips). Probably only 500 rounds total for all three combined though. So far no issues,...
