I doubt that very many of the "non-military" could kick anyone's butt - they live their cush life, secure in the knowledge that someone ELSE fights their battles, empties their sewage, kills their meat, and drills for the oil they burn. To them, the world is a Disney-esque place where the ...

I bought some of the Federal "Champion" 510 last week. They had been out for a while. I asked the "salesman" for a brick of it. "What?" A carton, I told him. "Sorry, we don't sell it by the carton." "Excuse me?" "We don't sell it by the carton,...

Enjoy it man, the 218 Marlin truly is a treasure, and if it was me I"d go with the 2-7x so I could see the FERAL CATS heads better at 200yds.

I want the NRA to oppose any new restrictions on firearms, ammo, reloading components or transfers of any of those. No home inspections, licensing, or registrations. I'd like to see any such schemes that are in place rolled back. I want those folks gone that stand in the way of that. NRA staff, boa...

I think there is a sizeable problem with people who believe (rightly or wrongly) that the fecal material may soon hit the oscillating ventilator. We/they are stocking up on the kinds of things one might want to have to shield oneself from such material. It isn't just Midway, but they are well known ...

If you want to 'hot load' a 44 Magnum, get an action that's about an inch longer, and step up to a 'real' gun - as in .444...! If you want a "carbine" you may have to bob the barrel a bit, but if you want to spit a .430 bullet out REALLY fast, don't agonize over which .44 Magnum to get. Ge...

And the "LeveRevolution" ones are WAY short. Keep any of that brass separate, if you have any.

Unless you want it for a wall hanger or safe queen, just figure that the more 'used' it is, the more you may be able to bargain down the price. You'll likely ding it up some more shortly, if you like totin' and shootin' it as much as I like mine. The ports ARE loud, but I would only shoot a gun like...

Sounds fun. Don't let your wife know - if you look tired and frazzled be sure she thinks it was from work and no play... :wink: I like the safety on the Taurus 9mm SO MUCH BETTER than the one on the Beretta's. I guess the "1911" style of 'thumb-it-down' just seems more natural than the awk...

I posted this in the General Discussion rather than Politics, because LEVERGUNS are one of the best ways to get a newbie interested in shooting, even if their 'issue' is looking for a self-defense handgun. Long guns are easier to shoot, make good companion guns for revolvers, and one of the BEST rea...

I use three kinds of 'store bought' stuff... 1. .38 or .357 lead reloads the local gun shop sells - Cheap, good practice rounds and for showing 'newbies' the fun of just shooting a gun. 2. Sellier & Belliot bulk ammo - Reuseable brass, truncated bullets are 158 grain and feed/function fine in my...

You are a very fortunate woman, and I hope you realize that.

Another rifle pistol combo you can't go wrong with would be a .22lr combo. My rifle in that case would be a win 9422, or marlin 39 or, in my case, an 1897. serve it up with an nice single action, double action or semi in .22 and you will have years of plinking and hunting fun. I use my .22s more th...

It has become hard to take kids hunting because they have to have a license and in order to get it you must go through hunter safety. It is three nights of torture. A lot of kids don't get started because no one will take them to hunter safety. If they could just buy a license it would be better. Y...

Cool chamberings in tube-loading levers (and yes I know I'm leaving out tons...) Nostalgic step downs from your .30-30 in power, but really fun to shoot - quiet, pest killers, and good target guns; cheap to shoot. .25-20 .32-20 (especially cool because you can get handguns to match - my favorite :mr...

I thought that nothing less powerful than a 7mm Remington Magnum, or .45-70 'hot' load, would suffice for pigs. That's the consensus of all the gun magazine articles. And it has to be stainless steel, and have a synthetic stock, and a TACTICAL sling... Oh yeah, and some sort of scout-ghost-laser-tri...

Back before the worthless, useless, and dangerously counterproductive "gun law" of 1968, it wouldn't have been as much an issue; you could have swapped it out easily and had the dealer return the defective one, just like if you'd bought a toaster over that failed. Granted, he didn't happen...

Never done it, but I'd rather have a hollow point butt up against a primer than a flat point, and a flat point rather than a pointy-point... I think the softness of the lead would be a factor, too. Someone with some light but stiff plastic tubing (maybe with vent holes to relieve pressure) and a chu...

Cool information. That always seemed to be the most intriguing part of modern firearms manufacture.

I think someone posted a thread on rifling a barrel a year or so ago here that showed it being done 'at home' - ?

I think I work about 30 hours a week MORE than I'd otherwise have to, in order to have my "own" range - we live in the sticks, and have enough acres and hills to shoot 100 yards at targets or gongs. If I had those 'extra' thirty hours a week, would I go to a public range and get more shoot...

I measured the 'angle' as the degrees lever travels from original position - I figured the angle vs. barrel or action wouldn't relate as much as to what your hand actually has to do. Puma 92's (.357, 44, 45) - 70 degrees (the .454 Casull seemed to be 74 degrees - unsure if it's 'supposed' to be more...

I remember in the early sixties going out with my mom to watch for 'shooting stars' and just to look at the night sky and relax and talk philosophy, science, or whatever.

Not citizenry, but sheeple. I doubt it. It was my understand that this bill applies to semiautomatic rifles and all handguns only. But it's still very much a threat to all gun owners.

That looks like a more durable concept than the 'upside-down treadmill' we call a snowmobile. Of course the proof would be in trials with real farm, ranch, and wilderness users.

The downside of having your own land and range is you miss the camaraderie and 'networking' and 'marketing' aspects of shooting sports, and the latter two have resulted in a fragmented bunch of folks to fight gun control, who are all but invisible to the general public hobby-wise (they never show an...

Buck, the lever wrap is a "bushing", making the lever fit the hand with less space around it. The function is to allow the hand to flop around less inside the lever, making cycling time faster. This is an asset when shooting Cowboy Action, where of course, time is of the essence. My marli...
