Hi Kid: That dirt bag needs an injection of lead -- at high speed!!! Geez, that's too bad to hear, but glad the kids didn't end up any worse off... One tip about that deadbolt, having worked in security hardware and as a 3rd-generation locksmith, the wood frame is the weakest part of the door/lock s...

Y Kid, you could tell your darling l'il girl:

(a) At $4.00 a gallon, you won't be wasting "any gas" these days.

or

(b) Not to worry, your finger was "unloaded" at the time.

Cute story, thanks for sharing (was wondering how it was gonna end...)

Your mileage may vary... But I've had the best results re-treating those cloths with Birchwood-Casey "Sheath" spray, now called "Barricade" I believe. It's a great rust-preventive and once the blue is wiped down with it, even finger prints don't show up. Like another poster menti...

Hi all! Well, my friend was 1 of the 2 guys who did not get bears the first week. The other guys got 3 bears ranging from just under 100 pounds, to one near 250 and another pushing 380+ (what a monster!). But he got the chance to go back for another 1/2 week and he connected. It's not the biggest be...

While there are other shops that offer this service, an outfit called Cylindersmith can open up those tight throats for you, check out this link: http://www.cylindersmith.com/ This process really works, as I did it to my .357 Ruger's.

Howdy all, I've done my share of Off Topic posts too, but not only is this one on topic -- it includes pictures of a classic lever gun!

Me-thinks that glare from the sun would be a major reason why they're not typically offered, and why it might be a very bad idea to have one chrome or nickle-plated. Blued sights -- and actions for that matter -- have been used in all sorts of weather conditions for 150+ years, and with reasonable c...

Ok, I've know I've posted my share of OFF TOPIC posts too, but this one should be labeled as: FTLOGWDYPTT

For the Love of God why did you post this topic?

A husband and wife went for counseling after 20 long years of marriage. When asked what the problems were, the wife went into a passionate, painful tirade listing each and every little problem they ever had in the 20 years they had been married. She went on and on and on... Neglect, lack of intimacy...

Gee, I just got a Gamo too, also after reading all those threads! I grew up (though some would disagree with that statement) with a Gamo air rifle, and I too was thinking about getting the new "Whisper". But like you, I stopped in a local shop and walked out with what they had -- a Gamo &q...

Jeremy, gee I don't know what to say, other than I'm so sorry for you, our service members, and especially for Petty Officer Monsoor's family... What a tragic (yet unselfish and heroic) loss... "Freedom isn't free" -- why don't people get that??? Even though it happened awhile ago, "p...

I just heard this song tonight, and it's appropriate for this post...

It's by Billy Ray Cyrus -- the achey breaky guy -- never been a fan, but I just might have to download that one to the 'ol iPod.

Thanks Jeremy, that was great.

I have the same type of trap... ...AND target!! :D What you want to do is (a) put some course sand in the back and (b) clip an oversize corrugated piece of cardboard to cover the entire front, as that will help stop the splashback.

Thanks for the comments jd45. The cylinder throats were 20 to 30 thous' smaller than the 0.358" bullets . The tight throats sized the bullets down and I wasn't getting a good seal in the barrel -- causing major leading! -- and the accuracy wasn't worth writing about either. Now, with the throat...
