Not just those that live in bear country, but any who venture into bear country. It's interesting to note that growing up in town, the only predators we had of descent size were red foxes. These are the cute little ones you see in nature videos, they run about the size of a coyote. A very small popu...

Never been a dedicated handgun hunter, except for rabbits and such. By far most of the jacks I have taken have been with a Mk I Target with a 6 7/8" barrel. But I have over the years taken critters up to the size of deer with a handgun for various reasons. Since I typically carry handguns with ...

Pretty clearly a host server issue. Only real solution is to find another hosting provider. But that could cost more and be quite time consuming.

Oka, how does the camera get out in front of the drone to take video of it? It may have a 360 camera, but when you look at the drone you don't see anything connecting the camera to it. Me thinks probably AI.

I don't have ants, darn it. I just finished using a expanding foam material for setting posts & such. Works pretty good. I wonder what it would do to an ant colony. Cheap too, less than $10.

Looked like the fool might know what he was doing until he flipped the cylinder closed. Firearms training by Hollywood. I wouldn't go near that fellow if he had a firearm.

Such pedestrian choices. Have none of you any romance in you? Not a spark of imagination? Let's see some choices that are at least a bit uncommon. How about a Mateba? How about a Broom handle Mauser? Let's here some choices that stir the soul.

And yet people buy AR-15's by the tens of thousands.

Thanks, Fred! I lived in San Diego for about 6 months in '76 and then in Escondido for about a year thereafter. I was a member of the Lake Wohlford Gun Club during my time in Escondido and really enjoyed that. One of my favorite fishing lakes in the 80's. Along with Skinner lake in Temecula. But li...

A Fosbery?

5 inch 54 caliber naval rifles are just little stuff. But the shells are more powerful than the older 5 inch 38 caliber naval rifles from WWII. Plus it is a much more rapid firing. But this is a navel rifle. https://i.imgur.com/E1T3VCZ.jpg 16 inch 50 caliber. For those that don't know, the inches is...

Am I the only one that has to have at least one firearm that is pure whimsy?

Since money is no object.
1. Webley Fosbery
2. Randall left handed 1911A1
3. Early production Remington left handed 700, 30-06
4. Springfield Scout Squad
5. Early production Remington left handed 1100 or 870, toss up

As I've said before. If all of the governments and religious leaders got together and announced that aliens exist and visit daily, the world would issue a collective sigh and go back to watching reruns of I Love Lucy.

Nice, Vall. Any idea what properties the steel possesses in terms of strength and edge holding? None Bill. The seller said they are Arkansas Damascus, and that's all I know. They were fairly sharp when I bought them, but I did some more shaping on the blades to a profile I wanted and then sharpened...

Pretty much dad and my uncles. But in particular I had an aunt who everyone had to admit was the best shot of them all. She grew up on a farm in Arkansas. As she told it, she only wore shoes when the snow was on the ground, and then they were usually hand me downs from her brothers Ione girl five ol...

Hand hammered Damascus is indeed beautiful. But I have seen some, possible like the kitchen knives mentioned above, where a block of steel is machined hammered into a Damascus pattern then sliced into pieces that are then machined into knife blanks. All done by machines. In fact I had a customer tha...

This is really acting like the hosting site has oversold their bandwidth. When the providers servers get overloaded the provider will often slow down or even stop some of the less trafficked sites. And compared to some sites Leverguns is small. Not much we as users can do. Even the site owner is at ...

I've noticed that after updates to the site software, or sometimes glitches, some of the Remember Me keys get corrupted. Like you internet history, (you really should have that set to be deleted after you shutdown the program) you really should delete these "keys" regularly. Deleting you i...

They just stole the way the government of my state has been doing business for decades. The citizens passed a law reducing property tax and restricting the rate that it can rise annually. So the state just started adding "fees". There is a movement brewing to do the same thing with fees. E...

Never saw that one. But, could be a fairly well concealed way of carrying a min revolver. I tried several commercially available holsters and was never quite satisfied. So I had one custom made to ride cross draw along the belt. https://i.imgur.com/vthFbdJ.jpg?2 I'm a southpaw, but since this is des...

Wow, a newbie 41 posts schooling a long time member 34000+ posts on proper behavior. Possibly either a troll or a net nazi.

Carry piece! Oh yea. Get two of the six inchers, and get a double shoulder holster. Imagine how cool you'd look with that in place you can open carry. Heavy, but with the weight for the cool factor.

So you contract to a supplier to deliver the goods you order. How he delivers them is up to him. And he is responsible for the items until they are physically in your hands (not just tossed in the front yard). But to insure that the people the supplier contracts with does their job they want you to ...

High winds in England and the European continent!! Oh my it must be global winding. Well have to get that freak Greta to go on a rampage.

Gotta go with Jim on this one. Forearm self destructed. I'd just get with Uberti and see if you can buy a replacement. If you are serioiusly concerned you could find a non destruct testing lab and have them magnaflux it. But I think that is way overkill.

I started to get into the original thread a bit late. So, I just sort of gave up. I'll try to keep up with the new one.

I have heard or racking a slide like that during an emergency. And, I have practiced it, with dummy ammo. I'll save that one for emergencies. I'm not the fastest draw, no matter what I'm using. I'm also not the greatest shot, though I usually hit what I'm shooting at, just not all x ring. I'll stick...

I found this one in a gun store in Culver City. They didn't know what they had, but I did.

For some reason I have always been attracted to shorter barrels on leverguns. Maybe it's because I'm not a big guy and the shorter barrels just seem right.

Solving a math problem without the necessary data is just a shot in the dark. Sort of like, solve for x. And the information you are given is y.

If you are interested in a good book series about Africa in the 1860's take a look at Flight Of The Falcon by Wilbur Smith.

Well, assuming you ask the total number, using the amount of lead you stated you used the answer supplied is pretty darned close. Hard to be exact as there are things we don't know. If you are asking how many "types" of bullets you cast the answer is three. But in that case the question is...

Not true. You can be deep in the deepest stuff when you need to draw a handgun. Life ain't a John Wick movie.

Frankly, if it comes down to needing a firearm for self defense, the last thing I'll be worrying about is getting sued. Lawyers, snakes that they are (and I'll hire the biggest snake I can), can handle what comes next. Here's one for you from a retired lawyer. If he were suing a person who had some ...

Maybe it was Marty Robbins' Mr. Shorty but I've always preferred a shorter barrel. 5.5" is as long as I'll go. I prefer my short barreled bad .45 (sorry Marty for taking license with the lyrics).

Hand-eye coordination might not be that good for everyone.

Very well-behaved dogs in public places don't bother me. It's the loud, obnoxious people and their ill-behaved kids that suck. :idea: The problem is that some dogs are not "well-behaved". After watching, several times, dogs lift their leg on the lower shelves at the grocery store I hesita...

I frankly don’t understand why I would lose zero. There’s nothing obvious. Windage stayed perfect. But elevation was off. How was it stored, and how long did it stay in that position. Think about it, even steel bends a bit if it is left in the same position long enough. You can see that by looking ...

I refused modify mine, it was a gift from the kids. So I had to relocate it out of state.

Now if someone would just make it today. The cool factor alone would be worth it.

Silly thought, but since it's still in production, why not give Bianchi a call?

I suppose one of the advantages of growing up in the fifties and sixties is that we were outside a lot. We learned all sorts of stuff by doing it. I know I taught my kids (the USMC added a bit more knowledge) the outside stuff.
