Ouch... Gee Jay -- crack a smile, crack a joke, crack a beer even -- but cracking a stock?! Not good! That happened to my brother's old wall-hanger, and what he did was force the wood together tightly on the side that faced the room, which left a slight gap on the other side (there was no way he co...

I have a superbly accurate Triple Deuce; if I'd ever used it for deer (hunting from my fixed stand) I'd probably try a Nosler Partition bullet. Haven't done it yet -- 'cause I like my leveraction! (Savage 99A in .250 Savage)

Fortunately they taste the same as any other deer. Quite true. I shot a small 3 pointer one year -- 1 small point on one side, 2 spikes on the other -- as he had walked right up on me... The guys in deer camp teased me that I'd "Shot the village idiot..." and they were glad that his genes...

Are the pins for the Old Army coming later, or maybe not at all? There's a small market for those due to bent pins. *

Just saw this on a .22 website, and figured I'd share it here. Here's the poster's 1st post -- we do this at deer camp, where the rifles are outside in the cold, but safe from the elements or theft. And it works... "Another way was to just leave the rifle out in the cold. An unheated porch woul...

I find that some air rifles, particularly spring air rifles, are very sensitive as to how you hold them. If you are very consistent, your gun will shoot noticeably better. I’ve never thought about this with firearms but I’m wondering about it. I know that the more consistent you can be with a SAA t...

I have always been touched by Jay Ungar's "Ashokan Farewell," a recent melody that made the 19th century and the soulful spirit of "The Civil War" of Ken Burns come alive. That was great -- thanks for sharing this Bill! This is most entertaining ! Sad & mournfull ? To be sur...

What is the difference between the MK9 and the CW9? Hi Jim: * The MK9 is all metal, 4" tall (6 + 1 capacity), 5.3" OAL and weighs in at 24 oz. * The CW9 has a poly lower, is 4.5" tall (7 + 1 capacity), 5.9" OAL and weighs 17.7 oz. I tend to shoot heavier handguns a bit better, s...
