I seriously doubt any I've met could hold an 8" circle at 300 yards on the first shot without a benchrest. Like any other hunting round, the maximum distance you can hit a 6" plate with the FIRST shot is yuor ethical limit. That distance will vary depending on shooting position and solid r...

Sold mine for 800? last summer. No wear or damage. No optics included. It took about two months as I recall.
Usually if I list a HTF gun on the web, it is the same week that ten others list the same model...

Good choice if you can carry it comfortably and out-of-the-way. Compared to say, a nice S&W N-frame or even a stainless Ruger revolver, at least a glock can get rained on, mud-slicked, or packed with snow or sand and I'd not lose much sleep over it. Swish it in ATF and blow it dry, then a couple...

Now that's the one I have always pined for! I'm a big fan of .33 dia bullets! Happy you finally brought it home, use it, shoot it, hunt it, enjoy it! Post some accuracy results please. Bullet diameter is a true .348", but you knew that. :oops: The 348 Win is actually much closer to a "35&...

Your doc should recognize over-the-counter sources can be deadly, and should prescribe a safe source supplement.

All things considered, I have always hired the first interviewee who made me feel as though I were the one being interviewed. Be sure you explain twice , what you can bring to the table in the first two weeks. How you can make your hiring manager/director look good. Ask what metrics or performance g...

I too, plan on examining one and might buy one if it meets my approval. So far lots of sideliners but I've not heard from anyone who handled one. We have a whole generation of youngsters who don't know a Garand from a Garbanzo and maybe a Garand in 22LR may spark some imagination and desire? SO may ...

I'm with hairtrigger, not into the CAS stuff. I and my rifles hunt, so I'm looking for experience with them as a $450-500 tree stand gun, or woodchuck stalking rifle. There are hundreds of "other options" I know, but variety is the spice... I like what Taurus did with the Winchester replic...

Anyone have one of the Taurus (not rossi) Thunderbolt rifles in 45 Colt? I have handled them but not-yet bought one. Talked with at least one guy who really liked his, he told of no feeding issues with good accuracy. Good enough that he took it into a stand for short-range on whitetail. Nice finish ...

Thanks Guys, it's Winchester from the 1940's, been reblued and needs locking lugs, loading gate, and few more things. I probably should just sell the barrel and get Mike Hunter to make a new barrel set for my old takedown 86. That would get me the configuration I want and top quality work too. Terr...

All good solutions - before those butane lighters came around. A few years ago we had a couple of young bucks in bear camp. They both knew how to use a compass, but neither brought one along. The first day when we split up for the dark Adirondack trails, we handed each one a small fresh butane light...

It is a belly gun. Not a target gun. :roll: :roll: :roll: If you (anyone) fancy yourself needing to shoot across an open space or maybe today is the day you will get into a chasing gun fight (outside a Hollywood set) then a more-appropriate handgun may be in order? I carried an LCP in various locati...

Personally I don't believe the used-gun market is depressed at all - I think it is in fact saturated. Meaning everyone who wants one, has got two. I have no sympathy whatsoever for speculators weeping about not being able to sell the AR15 guns and AKs that in years past stacked up in safe and closet...

They've been around for years, where ya been? I've found them to work well in my 11-87 with gas adjusted and a couple pumps, once you understand how to cycle them. They give killing velocities and allow more bangs per full load. If they don't work in your gun, try a different gun? Don't blame the eq...

Lots of interesting responses. But to the OP: Yep! You're in a database somewhere. And likely that if your adress ever needs police or fire or EMT help, your address and name will have a big orange frame around it on the responders' screens. Not a thing you can do about it now. Seems the only way to...

No way.
In the '50s people died from rotten teeth and appendicitis and breech babies. The cars sucked (steering and brakes and no seat belts). No Victoria's Secret. Nuff 'said.
Good deodorant and comfortable socks? Forget it. Decent coffee and Toasterstrudels? I cannot do without.

Warehouse No 1, Pine Street? on the River. Best seafood in the city.
I knew the woman who made it hers, and helped build most of the exterior and decks, etc.

There is a great Cajun BBQ place across the bayou from NELU. Wish I were 22 again in Monroe!

I sat in church (with my feet not touching the floor) and watched our pastor call everyone with a tatoo to the front - while he forgave them for violating God's will and repeating vows to not place ink upon their skin ever again. - Back then I guess it was only servicemen (and merchant marines?) who...

South of Lansing in Jackson (I-94 and I-127) is a shop I always recommend for treasure-seekers. Schupbach's in Jackson is a family-owned and run must-stop with 2000 guns advertised and I believe it - plus a full service archery store with two floors of archery ranges above. The Shupbachs and 100% of...

The NFL is a private business. They have a helluva marketing scheme, but I cannot get excited about their organization. Sadly, the NFL is needed to keep millions of small-thinking worker bees entertained. In the only state to let voters decide, AZ had a Sunday holiday for the Reverend King. The NFL ...

The choice is what does it. I had a perfectly reliable Rossi until it split the barrel one day with factory ammo. My shooting glasses were ruined from the flame and debris - my eye could have been lost simply by shooting without them. I'll never trust another Rossi firearm. The Marlin is the obvious...

I posted over on the rugerforum.com. I served as ITAR Administrator for years with a major manufacturer. ITAR regs are US Code under military procurement. Only a manufacturer selling directly to a military contract is ever going to be affected. Civilian police cannot use ITAR regs for a warrant nor ...

-probably only if it were intentional. In the statutes here, even an accidental injury from a homemade "spud gun" is declared a felony. No matter what end you're on. -also, a potato cannon uses an ignited explosive gas - not a progressive burning/expanding gas, so it may not be moved acros...

The early guns suffered from inadequate bullets - Remington loaded thier 240-gr 44 Magnum bullet, which was just not stout enough for distance shots at the black bear around our bear camp in the dark Adirondack forests north of Watertown, NY... The old-timers there scoffed at a 44magnum for blacks, ...

Because they "expel a projectile using expanding gases", they are a heavy misdemeanor here. If someone gets injured it turns into a felony.
Not worth losing my Second Amendment Rights over.

So what? Really? Did you eve read the article? The DNC worked with corrupt communist party members to import military guns then shiploads of other weapons, they continued for years to throw tax dollars at them and then at the same time, work relentlessly to strip our kids' civil rights of gun owners...

First time I saw the imports they were in crates of five in twenty pounds of cosmoline, for $39 each or $175/case carry it home. And we thought they'd never sell out. Now it looks like the democrats specifically the DNC aided the China-state companies to grease the skids for shiploads of battle and ...

Woah there... if that is an all-brass bullet it may be illegal to possess. Check with ATE for any monolithic bullet made of their LIST of prohibited materials. Not here to argue, but we once made some machined solids for hunting and got a visit/cease "request" from ATF Phoenix. Added: ATF ...

To end all the decades of blood in the streets arguing about this. Anyone know the differences between the dovetail cuts on the common M336 and the W94 leverguns?

I watched the video - The federal agent was NOT in the path of his truck - he intentionally jumped INTO the path of the truck. That indicates one of two things - both unfortunately would show intent and lack of intelligence. I cannot pass judgement on the standoff participants, as I sat in my chair ...

I bought a 1377 back around 1990, to replace one that was run over... longer story. I've used it to dispatch gophers, collect cottontails, even neatly dropped a tree squirrel once.

I'd pull out 3 Franklins for that gun! On the first day! 94's around here are pretty much a $400-and-up encounter, and there are quite a few seen on most gun-shopping days. The 1894s that used to sell for 900-141300 are down below $800 pretty consistently, but not anything under $400 I'd spend my c...
