I have to say that I can identify with the OP.I like shooting pistols and I own a few but I will be the first to tell you that I am a really LOUSY pistol shooter.I am fairly good with a rifle but not with a handgun and I have been shooting pistols over 50 years.I still shoot them a lot but I realize...

I put a Delton upper on a Plum Crazy lower.I am very satisfied with it and have had absolutely no problems and excellent accuracy.

My first Handi rifle was a 30-30 which I purchased for my grandson.Later I bought a superlight for my self in .243 followed by a regular Handi in .270 and several 45-70's including the Buffalo Classic.They are all good.When I down sized my collection most of them went away but not thru any fault of ...

When I was young we didn't have T-birds or vettes.Try the back area of a VW beetle with the rear seat folded.As previously posted...ah to be young and limber again.

Madman,isn't that a quote from the movie "Slingblade".The character of Slingblade was played by Billy Bob Thornton.

I went to the range today to shoot the .44 magnum.Let me qualify this by saying I have a Ruger .44 magnum Super Redhawk and I love shooting that revolver.I'm actually pretty accurate with it at 100 yards.Having said that my results today with the Hawes were just totally unsatisfactory but it was no ...

Ironwood,THAT is EXACTLY the same as mine.
I'll never try quick draw with this one or any other.I learned my lesson in that respect when many years ago I shot my then pregnant (now Ex) wife in the leg but that's a story for another time and place.

AkRay,
The trigger pull is very light.I would estimate it to be about 1 to 2 pounds.I am looking forward to next Wednesday when I can go to the gun club and shoot it.

I did some "hoss trading" with an old friend and wound up with a Hawes Firearms Western Marshall model in .44 magnum.The revolver is a single action western style with a 6" barrel and is in extra good what I would class as 85% condition.It does not have a very pronounced turn line and...

When these rifles first came out I had the opportunity to handle one at a distributor show.I was not impressed with the handling qualities nor the balance of it in the least.It definitely is not a "pretty" gun.The fit and finish are acceptable.It is a rather heavy feeling piece. In my mind...

I'm sorry to see that magazine go.I was into surplus rifles quite heavily until about three years ago.I feel that I "ran my course" and just felt there was nowhere else to go.Now the supplies of milsurp rifles seem to be dwindling.I'm sure that state of the economy also has a lot to do wit...

The "Remoil" which was marketed by Remington was supposed to contain Teflon.I don't know if it is still being sold.

Blaine, You will do just fine.I had the exact same thing happen to me at age 61(10 years ago).The plan was to retire at age 62 but a reorganization had me unemployed.I had to pinch pennies a little bit for a year till I got social security.I drew unemployment till it ran out.I drew on savings and go...

We've been shooting golf balls for years.The real trick is to hit right at the base of the golf ball and the impact will throw it into the air usually twenty feet or so. Clay pigeons laid on the berm at 100 yards or more are good targets and usually you will have a large chunk to shoot at after you ...

The Georgia Game and fish people swore and be darned that there were NO cougars in the state despite reports of sightings.Lo and behold two years ago there was deer hunter near West Point,Georgia (my home town) who shot and killed one while deer hunting.It walked up under the stand he was in and sca...

IMR4895 which is a good powder for quite a few calibers.

Sixgun,
Like you I shoot a rifle naturally left handed and a pistol mainly right handed.I am also left eye dominant so I "cross sight".It just seems natural to me.
My main carry is a Smith 638.I like to have the option of single action.

I have always been a fan of the Mowery style rifles.You did an truly amazing build there,Pitchy.
I am really looking forward to your next shoot with .50 balls.

Just to clarify.I do own and shoot an AR.I like it.The only thing I have put on it is a scope.I don't consider it tactical by any means.It is a good shooter and very accurate.
Incidentally my front sight does not appear in my scope either.

Point well made and taken to heart.I guess it's that I don't see all this stuff as important or useful.I guess there are others who do.

In the past couple of years I have seen a big swing in firearms to a "TACTICAL" oriented bent. This seems stupid to me.What's with "TACTICAL"?I have no use for tactical features on my rifles/handguns.I am not a SWAT sniper nor do I ever expect to be placed in a position of needin...

I deer hunted with a White Mountain carbine in .50 for 15 years.Killed a heap of deer with it.Sold it about six years ago and bought a New Englander in .54.To my estimation, Thompson-Center makes the best muzzle loader in the US.
I REALLY like Nath's Enfield.

My daily pocket cc alternates between a Smith 638 and a North American Arms .22 magnum.
I've shot the .22 magnum in one gun or another for 45+ years and I like it a lot.It definitely has it's limits.It's a lot more than many give it credit for.

At age 65 in South Carolina you can apply for a free lifetime hunting/fishing/game management license.There's a one time processing fee of $9.After that all you do is order use-anytime doe tags(up to four per season for $5 each) if desired and free turkey tags.There are designated doe days if you do...

In 1975 when I started deer hunting my indian mentor in the sport advised me to use these.He said that they hit like a 30-06.I used them in a Marlin 336 for some 20 years quite successfully I might add and never had a deer run more than just a few yards with a proper hit. They also WILL screw up a c...
