My favorite band of all time. A few years back when I was a LEO, their manager asked my unit for an escort to their venue. It was out of my jurisdiction but....Lynyrd Skynyrd! We did it and I got a chewing out...but worth it. Afterwards the band was going to take us to a local place to party but the...

I found Mack's Prairie Wings last year online . I was looking online for Buffalo Bore 45-70 that I could use for elk and bear defense. BB has one in 350 gr that expands a little bit but great for grizz and elk. BB wanted 80+ and $30 shipping. Mack's sold me all 6 of their boxes for $63 each and free...

That wood is awesome! That would be a great elk gun! I'd just be afraid to scratch it.

Reading through the 32-20 thread posted by Jim reminded me of this rifle that Marlin marketed for only a short time, maybe two or three years, and I don't believe many were produced as they have always been scarce. I wanted one from the start, but have only ever seen and handled one of these. It wa...

Well...I hunt elk with a 45-70 or 30-06. In my opinion, that's a little much for antelope. I bought a Savage .308 for antelope but could not get consistent small groups. I don't reload so I tried several different rounds. So I sold it and bought a Sig Cross in 6.5 CM. I shot Sako TRG 136 gr, Hornady...

I carried a Kimber 1911 for years on duty and SWAT. Shot thousands of rounds and never had a problem other than replace the spring two or three times. Mine was very accurate and reliable . I shot the micro 9 but it moved around in my hand too much. I just couldn't get a good hold on it.

jkbrea

I'll take 30-30 over either the 45-70 or the "maybe obsolete in a couple years" .360. I've always had several 45-70s around, but just don't get the use and versatility out of them I do with my 30-30 chambered rifles. I'm kinda the opposite. I have a couple 30-30's that I love. A 1961 Winc...

I didn't put this in politics because it may apply to several members and potentially make you a felon. Gun Owners of America made this video at ShotShow. What it boils down to is if you have a pistol with an arm brace, it is going to be classified as a short barreled rifle,(SBR). You have 120 days ...

jkbrea

My favorite 9mm "pistol". It does go through a lot of ammo quickly. My G-kids love it though. On the falling plate racks, they rarely miss using the red dot.

I sometimes carry a Springfield EMP in 9mm. It's a 1911 style but smaller than the Ronin. It is awesome to shoot. Followup shots are very quick. Enjoy it!

I had a great time fall and winter hunting in Wyoming. My middle son came out and we put in a lot of miles hiking. He got a small bull elk (5×4) and an antelope. I ended up with an antelope earlier and a calf and cow on the elk refuge "hunt" last month. That hunt is crazy but really fun on...

I just shipped a gun UPS to get it rebarreled. They did it but I was told they were changing policies on shipping and so is fedex. I was told that part of the problem is major thefts in larger cities by employees. A local shop here told me two of their ordered rifles were stolen coming to Wy from Sa...

jkbrea

Just a few more pics. Really beautiful out here. I'm all recovered from packing that bull elk :cry: . Now I have an elk cow tag and my wife has a buck antelope tag! If any forum member ever draws a tag out my way, I'd be glad to help you out. 20221010_174336.jpg 20221011_121938.jpg 20221011_133216.j...

jkbrea

Yeah. Normally I use my 30-06 for everything, or 45-70 if bears are around. I run the gub club here and by far, the most popular caliber for hunters is a 300 win mag....with a huge muzzle break and a huge high power scopes. Nice rifles but here most of the terrain is heavily wooded so most shots are...

jkbrea

I was so fortunate my middle son got to come out and elk hunt with me this year. We hunted really hard putting in about 6-8 miles a day, some in really steep lung busting terrain. After a few days we took a break and went antelope hunting in Pinedale. That was a fun hunt. A UTV sure makes it easy. W...

jkbrea

Thanks OldWin! It was great, but short visit. Next time you all come out, I'll show you some great fishing holes, 4x trails..and more guns!
PS...you have some great sons. Made me miss mine, but ones coming elk hunting next week!

jkbrea

Hey all. It was great meeting Jay and his sons. What a great family! Wish they could have stayed longer. And Sixer...the topic of you came up...hahaha. I gotta get out there..or you're welcome out here anytime. You can shoot anything out here at our range, belt fed, 50 cals, mini guns....whatever yo...

jkbrea

About $150. Where do I send the check!
Just kidding....
What caliber, year...etc

jkbrea

Hahaha...had me going. I thought you went nuts and were confessing online!!!!

I did the same to some coyotes that killed my mini aussie .. laid on top of my fifth wheel trailer all night. This was in a fairly large city and neighbors weren't thrilled. Miss that dog.

jkbrea

The 586 and 686 revolvers are awesome. I regret selling a 4" 686 that was my first duty gun. I like my semi-autos but now my favorite carry gun is a 3" 7 shot 686. It's comfortable to carry all day.

jkbrea

Thank you. Had a good day. Shot a couple rifles and took the Harley for a nice ride near the Tetons.

I have a 10.5" PSA upper and Anderson lower. It did the same thing...firing 3-6 round bursts. The hammer was chipped. It was a cheap fix. I just replaced it with a mil spec trigger assembly.

jkbrea

If I recall correctly, it was a starter pistol.

jkbrea

Had one of these in our home growing up. Must have been a 30 lb trigger pull!!

I like the Leupold EER scopes with a quick release for hunting. I have them on a 45-70 and TK30-30. They stay zeroed when you pop them on and off.

I got a Rock Island Armory 12 ga semi auto. It's Turkish made and runs awesome. It's the most fun shotgun I've ever shot. The AR platform and aftermarket buttstock removes almost all recoil. I can unload a 20 round drum of slugs with no pain. And that's with a shoulder replacement. 5 shots with my R...

Anyone ever own a Black Aces firearm? I believe they're fairly new and produce ammo also. They make this LEVER action 7 shot 12 gauge shotgun in 4 models! Affordable, (about $400), and American made! I only heard of them through Atlantic Firearms when I bought a PTR MP5 through them. There is a YouT...

My antifa gun! A little unwieldy in a house but a lot of fun to shoot! Rock Island Armory VR80. Shoots 2 3/4 or 3" shells. Its built like an AR with oversize mag release and bolt release. You do need to use higher velocity shells. I found 1300fps or more work great. I have a Rem 870 pump. With ...

Ok...true story and no, won't confirm it. During the LA riots, police were teamed up with Nat. Guard. While responding to a call in Knickerson Gardens, PD went in and told Nat Guard to "Cover" them as they went in. Cover in police talk is watch over with a weapon in case needed. Cover in m...

Being a city dweller has it's few perks. But one of them is I set anything metal at my curb with a "free" sign on it, and it's never there more than a few hours at most. Sometimes somebody stops as I'm putting it out and want to help me unload it. Once in Ca, my brother placed a working w...
