noone takes their kids into the woods carrying a levergun, and certainly vidoe games don't feature any leverguns. the kids seek out only what they know. I was born in the 50's and never went hunting with my dad, my first centerfire was a bolt gun. I didn't become interested in levers until the most ...

Jim T,

You're lucky you're in Austin now.. In 2-3 months, Mozambique is probably cooler than the Tx Summer.

Black's, Kreitz's, & Cishoml Trail bbq in Lockhart (about 30-45 min) out of Austin ain't bad.

I left Midway 2-3 years ago when I felt their shipping fees, on average, were too much. At least with Graf's I know what I'm going to pay before I check out. I think Midway and Graf's are probably closer in price now, but I haven't bothered to give Midway another chance. everyone overcharges on ship...

very similar name to the SAXET (Texas backwards because of some stupid local laws). SAXET is ok when it's in Austin, just not my cup of tea. AFT has in the past hassled some of the attendees by getting in their faces as they come to the door, so I've heard. I don't care if a gun deal is too much by ...

I had a Ruger Security Six 6" barrel. I had a Ruger Model 77 in 30/06. I had a Winchester 1300 in 12 ga. For almost 30 yrs., I continue to wish I had the Security Six back. Never missed the other 2. Even though I traded, I still had the same ol' monthly bills the next month. Since you can affor...

Before you decide on a leupold prismatic, consider other tube carriers for red dots. Leatherwood Millet Burris Bushnell Ultimate (IIRC) I'd say they all have differences, and one particular feature might be a deal killer for that red dot. You need to pick the one that gives the least amount of perso...

To keep my 20 yr. old son interested, I plan on a .308 bolt if I can convince him of it instead of an EBR. For me, I'd like a .45C lever, a Ruger Bearcat (or Single Six), and a Baretta Extrema 12 ga.

recent muddleheaded issue illustrates why this mature (not old yet) shooter picks a SA. Did some hand loads for .40S&W using alox as lube, and forgot to wipe off the nose before attempting to use. While I could put the slide in battery with my thumbs, I was mad at myself for such oversight. In t...

for ease of discussion, let's say your policy has a $2,500 limit for guns. You could rely on the stated limit to apply to all guns so that the insurer would pay you up to $2,500 for a total loss of the guns. Or, you could put the guns on a list (schedule them) to declare a value not to exceed $2,500...

I'm wondering if the outcome of 86er's hunt could have possibly been different with a front globe-circle insert instead of a bead. This topic is good for me as I'm seriously evaluating a change to tang/globe on my .444.

If you have enough guns to sell, and the anticipated funds will truly get you out of debt, then I enthusiastically support your choice to have fewer guns. If selling them won't pay off the debt then I'd say keep them awhile longer because they will just appreciate or become more valuable than the wo...

Scout scoped Marlin .444, but if I were competing I'd strongly consider a tang sight based my recent experience using factory iron sights for part of an Appleseed shoot. Why not have a division for historical sights and another division for scopes? No sense in causing anyone to for go competition be...

On p. 31 of the July 2009 Guns Magazine is a brief description of using wax to make chamber casts. With all the trouble Joe had with cerrosafe, me thinks the brief description just might be too brief. Surely, wax would be more difficult to use since it cools very quickly when heat is removed. So, ho...

Recently I used my 10/22 at an Appleseed shoot. I shot about 300 rounds out of it over 1.5 days with the rifle being exposed to high 90's between target checks. It functioned well, but it did want to walk out one of the barrel screws--no problem just added some blue thread locker. I will say the sto...

I was using Redding Imperial Case Lube but it seemed to cause dented cases. So, now I use Lee case lube with no problems. Diluting the Lee with water sounds interesting to me--makes it much more cost efficient.

I too have come to believe Remington doesn't care too much about quality control for its bulk .22LR. I have about 700 rounds of it left, and then will go to Winchester bulk exclusively for my stock 10/22. Probably won't be interested in a Remington branded firearm either.

I haven't used either of Paco's tools. I have used the method Marshall Stanton of beartoothbullets.com describes. By blunting the nose of a .22LR with a file, I punched holes holes about 1" in diameter through a metal pizza pan . As mentioned here or at gunblast, using the file is slow--but che...

The thread about hunting peep sights is good. I just attended an AppleSeed shoot, and had to use iron sights the second day because a scope screw was stripped out on my gun.

The Feds are involved, according to the article, because of alleged interstate transport of poached deer.
