I want one....badly. An AR is first on the list, even though i mildly dislike them, just because of the cost factor and I already have a lower receiver ready to go, but that SOCOM is a sweet shooting rifle.

shooter

I would choose the XD. I like the XDM even better. I have said before that I hate the way Glocks feel in my hand. The 4th generation Glocks are a huge improvement, IMO, but I really like way the XD, or the XDM in particular, feels. Are Glocks well made, reliable guns that go bang every time? Absolut...

I saw Cody Lundin's house online a couple years ago after Dual Survival came out. Pretty neat setup. On the earthship website it says that the earthships can be built for any climate. I'm sure certain things have to be readjusted for a wetter climate, cooler climate, etc., but supposedly it can be d...

http://earthship.com/ Saw them while watching Bizarre Foods America. They are kind of hippie looking, but they are 100% self sustainable. You can grow your veggies inside your house, and all electricity is solar or wind generated, and the house is made of 100% recycled material. They use glass bottl...

If you are worried about a heavier gun pulling your pants down, you might take a look at the Simply Rugged chest holster. Rob Leahy makes some quality leather, and his chest holster system converts your paddle style belt holster into a holster that sits on your chest so it's not riding under your ar...

I don't know about giant jackrabbits, but my understanding of where the jackalope legend comes from is a fungus that grows on rabbits' heads, causing it to look like they have antlers. They have a couple on display at the Buckhorn Saloon and Museum in San Antonio. If you've never been there, I'd rec...

Laredo boots are cheap. I bought one pair about 12 years ago and never will again. Double H are good boots, as are some of the Tony Lama's. I had a pair of both the Double H and Tony Lama "TLX" boots. The TLX model are more of a hybrid cowboy/work boot. They were about the same quality and...

I always have a round in the chamber. It doesn't matter if I'm spot stalking, in a blind, or just walking around in the woods. The number 1 safety is between your ears. If your muzzle is always pointed in a safe direction, there is no possible way for anyone to get hurt with an AD/ND. Keep the safet...

My house :D Not to toot my own horn too much, but I'd rather have steak or bbq that I cook over 95% of the restaurants I've been to. Plus it saves money. I can feed me, my wife, and several friends for what it costs one or two people to eat at a steakhouse. But, there are places I like to go....Texa...

IMR 3031 works best for me and my gun

Varget is ok, as well as RL7

I have no personal experience with it, but I've heard Trail Boss is good for a real light plinking load. Fills the case and keeps the recoil very light....good for kids and cowboy action shooting

shooter

Terry hit the nail on the head. I think some cartridges might be a little more prone to better accuracy than others, but the "most accurate cartridge in the world" won't do well if shot out of a poorly put together firearm. That being said, my personal most accurate handgun is by far my Ru...

Must be a new thing. My 1960s 870 3" 12 has been extensively used and has not a speck of rust. Of course, I do live in the low humidity of sunny "Kooklipornya". :roll: I think it is a fairly new thing. Yours is around the same age as my dad's, and his has a nice, smooth, high quality...

I have tons of trouble with mine rusting. It's rusted every time I take it out of the closet. It doesn't seem to matter what kind of oil I rub it down with or how much oil I put on it. I think that cheap finish is just too porous to be reliable at keeping away rust. I have an acidic PH to begin with...

My wife wants a coon for a pet -- good grief. Sweet Underoos shirt man We had a few for pets when I was a kid. You have to childproof everything, and that still doesn't work. They're neat critters, but take tons of patience. They can also get mean from time to time. Never can really tame them, I su...

shooter

I'm no expert, but from what I understand the swap includes the grip frame, hammer and trigger. It's not cheap, either, but I much prefer the Bisley grip frame. Midway USA had all the parts necessary last time I checked. They had several different options for the grip frame. They had blue, stainless...

Walker, that is one Handsome Ruger..! +1 Thanks guys, it's from Mr. Bowen's shop. The most accurate revolver I own. My list of guns I want to own is long, but at the top of that list is a single action revolver worked over by Hamilton Bowen and a lever action rifle done by Doug Turnbull. Congrats o...

Welcome to the world of the .45 Colt

It is unashamedly my favorite handgun cartridge. Sure there are other calibers that may be better for this or that, but not by much, and not many are as versatile. I'm glad you liked it. Now it's time to run out and get a new toy to shoot your own out of.

shooter

With my back being hurt this year I didn't plant hardly anything. I planted some jalepenos and some squash, but everything I put in the ground is coming up and doing well. I didn't do my herb garden, tomatoes, okra, lettuce, or anything else this year, so I'll have to plant double next spring

shooter

I'd keep the Mountie. With that being said, I have a similar story. When I was 14 I had to have what I thought was the biggest, baddest, perfect "all around" cartridge. I wanted a .300 Win Mag. to replace my suitable hunting rifle. I wanted a "man" gun. My dad said "ok, but ...

Conditions are generally not as conducive to wildfires back east. There isn't nearly as much wilderness, and fires don't have a chance to get started good. Also it's not as dry and windy back east as it is in the west. The dry air and fierce winds play a huge factor in spreading wildfires into uncon...

I'm watching the Outdoor Channel show featuring Bliss Creek. "Outfitter Bootcamp" is what it's called, and it's a pretty interesting show. Looks like hard work for sure.

shooter

Ok, let me rephrase that...I'll stick to my $10 Hohner

shooter

You guys are getting me curious about this .444 fad :lol: I typically don't like a caliber unless it starts with a 4 and ends with a 5, but I do have a .44 mag Blackhawk, and a Redhawk, so maybe a .444 will be a good big brother to pick up. I like all the talk about the accuracy, (although my 45-70 ...

I'm all for good quality, but for those prices I'll stick to my Hohner.

Not yet, but we want to go. I just got into the travel business, so we are looking to travel a little more in the future. I'm sure you'll have a great time. We are headed to Jamaica, Grand Cayman, and Cozumel at the end of July. I'm not a huge fan of the ocean per se, but anytime I can sit on a beau...

I don't know about cats, but the puppy I just got about a month ago has a Black Lab for a dad and a Golden Retriever for a mom. Going on looks alone, he looks like the purest bred Black Lab I've ever seen. Not even a hint of any other breed. The rest of the litter varied some. I do realize that all ...

New Mexico has tons of public land to shoot on. Roswell isn't the best of towns, but the gun range there is pretty good and inexpensive. Steel targets out to 500 yards, several ranges, and a 1000 yard range. Fee is $65 a year to go as much as you want. You can shoot on BLM land, but not state land e...

Well now look at that look Nath. Wonder what is up. BTW, how hot can it get in Wales of England for that matter? It peaked around 28c, is that high 80f ?? Hot for us anyway! I was hoping the rays would calm my poor skin but apart from a tan no change. Wales juts out into the gulf stream which flows...

I have had labs and/or Golden Retrievers all my life. I have had 3 dogs (2 Goldens and 1 Lab) that have been just as protective as you describe. None of them ever bit anyone, but if they did not know you and you tried to come in the house without my approval it was not a good deal. It's a good thing...

Looks like this is old. Everything I found on the subject was from the beginning of 2011. ATF quit taking public comments in May of 2011, and Congress effectively squashed the idea of banning the imports from my understanding. http://www.ammoland.com/2011/11/19/little-noticed-provision-kills-atf-sho...

Mine is a Sharps - Probably in 45-70 just for the convenience factor. I have many others as well, such as a Springfield Socom M1A, an M1 carbine, and a nice Colt SAA in .45 Colt. I wouldn't mind having a nice Ruger worked over by Hamilton Bowen, either, and come to think of it, I'd love a Marlin 189...

I've been on 2, and going on another this year. The first was about 11 years ago when I graduated high school. The second was 2 years ago with my wife's whole family. I'm not big on the cruising part, but it's fun once you actually get to the ports. I would much rather do an all inclusive stay at a ...

I personally am not a fan of the AK platform. I just don't like them, but won't argue that they are fine fighting rifles and reliable as well. I much prefer an SKS. If you have an AR-15 and either an AK or an SKS, you have a rifle that shoots the two most widely available types of ammo in the world,...

shooter

I haven't had any trouble finding ammo, but it seems like there are a lot of distributors out of AR-15 parts, such as uppers and complete rifle kits. I probably do need to buy some more primers, and a few more pounds of powder, but i've got enough to get by for a while.

My brainless concoction of 55% white lithium lube and 45% beeswax has done me well with smokeless up to 1800. I don't know if it works at faster speeds because thats about as fast as I go.

I`ve got the neighbors catching and relocating their wild cats so maybe we`ll have some rabbits again. Tell them the easiest way to catch them is with a load of #6's from a 12 gauge ! Or either a 50 grain bullet from a scoped 22-250 . I HATE f'in cats :!: Wish I had $100 for every feral cat I ever ...

I really like the looks of the Ruger, but I have a Full Size. I want a Mid Size. Lop 1" off both the Front and Frame & I'd be a really happy guy. I just got a Springfield like you described. Commander length barrel, Officer size frame. I didn't know if I'd like it, but it's one of the hand...

Never really cared for the Beatles even before I was old enough to care about their social views. When I was old enough to understand that, I care even less. I love oldies, but give me Buddy Holly or Elvis any day of the week, not the Beatles.

shooter

I much prefer the Redhawk over the Super Redhawk. I like a lighter pistol for carrying (if you can consider either "light"). My Redhawk is the 5 1/2" model, and is about as big as I like to carry. I'd love to get one of the 4" models.

shooter

I've got a couple of 7 round flush fit magazines for my Officer sized frame Springfield. One of them runs good but the other needs some tweaking to get working right. My 6 rounder works flawlessly.

Maybe try fire lapping? Old Ranger just had some good luck doing that with a B-92 he was having trouble with.

Though I look nothing like it, I have quite a bit of Cherokee blood, as well as a little of Choctaw and Comanche. My dad works a lot with the Mescalero tribe out in New Mexico.

Hobie, I too remember about 5 or 6 years ago when we could get 1000 primers for $15 or less. I think they were about $12.50 for a while. Those were the days, lol.

Went to the local reloading supply store today to pick up some things. The guy has just about as good a normal price on anything as most of the online catalogues. They beat him when they have a sale, but I also don't have to wait or pay shipping when I buy from him. Anyway....I bought a few hundred ...

Your above post sounds about like I used to be. I was never into the club scene, but was a "social" drinker, and I used to be very social :wink: I don't think I ever had a dependency problem per se, but i downed quite a bit of alcohol from the ages of 17 to about 25. Then I got married and...

Happy Resurrection Day! Our bible study discussion this morning asked the question: Which was more important, the cross or the tomb?

Of course you're right, Pitchy. The Lord did send a helper, but one has to follow Him to receive that help. My dad is a minister, and I grew up seeing "behind the scenes" in quite a few churches. You can tell the ones that are really led by the Holy Spirit, and you can usually tell the one...

Grizz, glad I could help :D I like Lee Strobel, and he might be interesting to kids also, idk. He's a good speaker, and he really appeals to thinkers because of the way he came to his faith.
