I'd like to thank the USA for giving us two game animals that provide me and my son a tremendous amount of fun...

And we got Harry and whats-her-name...

What a lousy trade that was!!!

i have a wheelock rifle, a total copy of the one that belonged pilgrim John Alden. it is a marvel ---the lock time is very fast. it is a .62 and has a real wallop ! You too?

Those little buggers are expensive these days.

It could be what's going on in the industry -- and the world too...

My twin says he's selling "used sets" of reloading dies and he's getting $80 or $90 per set -- USED.

Mechanically sound. Doesn't that mean that it clanks and clatters?

Oh, that's funny! I'll have to remember to use that with the other gun nutz around here...

That was a long time ago, I remember reading that article nearly twenty years ago. It was published in "Precision Shooting" if I recall. They shot at 100 yards because that's the yardage they would shoot the registered IBS Matches at -- it makes sense when you think of it that way. I used to score ...

For once in my life, I actually had a pen on me. Sign we did! As often as not, our team-good-deeds get punished -- but, oh my, not this one! Wow, what a deal! No pen? I would have sliced my palm with a knife and signed in BLOOD for that deal. Of course, I would have made my buddy do the same... :wi...

"Gifts from the grave"?

Perhaps, but I'd say they were well earned from all the prior years of friendship & life.

I'd say for sure -- without any hesitation -- the closest friends I have now, or those I've lost too, have ALL been shooters and hunters.

Awhile ago I'd sold off a nice Dickinson "Estate" 20 gauge side-by-side when (a) I had the hots for something else and (b) a guy at the range had offered me more than I'd paid for it many years before. But there's something about a trim l'il double gun -- especially one with double-triggers and real...

The only way you can have a bad experience is if you take their estimate and then let them buy the coins, or money from you. No way that simply giving you an estimate is going to result in a bad outcome if you walk out with your stuff. And of course, I always get at least two opinions on values. An...

I had a SIG P365 for a few months -- and went back to carrying my Kahrs (K9 or P9 Covert).

If I need THAT many rounds, I'm in the wrong neighborhood or I've ignored numerous warning signs to take evasive action.

So the iron in the firearm doesn't throw the compass reading off? I was always taught not to have large pieces of magnetic metal near a compass when taking a bearing.

From what I've seen; not when it's a small compass, set back in the buttstock.
