Early one autumn I was sitting at the base of a tree watching a deep hollow when I heard the crunch of leaves and a man approaching. He was dressed in khaki safari garb and wearing a beekeeper's bonnet and veil and carried a long handled net in one hand and a polesaw in the other. He greeted me in a...

Everyone knows that only the 22 Remington Jet can be relied upon to dispatch a Chupacabra. I keep several Smith 53's handy. A Dodge Ram 3500 4wd with the Cummins engine is a pretty good match for them, but not always. I ran one down just outside of Yuma one night, did him in but his teeth got stuck...

If it's any consolation the napalm fire-bombing of Tokyo a couple months earlier on March 9 & 10 of 1945 by the United States Army Air Forces was the single most destructive bombing raid in human history totally destroying 16 square miles of central Tokyo killing an estimated 100,000 civilians ...

Way back in the day when I was just a wee lad of 23-24 I lived in southern south america. Though I had both my beloved bride and our firstborn son with me, I missed my humble collection of sixguns, self-loaders, leveractions and fowling pieces way back up there in alabama. So I jumped through all of...

Internet gun sales where you actually buy from a distributor and pay a f.f.l. a modest transfer fee for his time and trouble were new to me in 2010 when I first tried it and I have enjoyed the sense of freedom it brought. A local pawn charged $15 per transfer and was glad to get it. Most of the time...

I've been intrigued by the Charter Arms Bulldog since first reading about them in a Gun Digest article from the 1970s. Only thing that has held me back was the indifferent quality control over the years. Seems like there have been good ones and bad ones. Which big-bore snubbies are you packing, Ray...

Snub-Nosed Revolvers.....

I have several of them. I know that they are considered somewhat obsolete in this tactitard world but I often carry one or two when I go out and about.

What is the current consensus of the forum ?

I see even charter arms makes or has made a .41 magnum !

Just received 200 of them today for my first Krag rifle (bought last weekend). They are a bit long in the shoulder as was mentioned on another forum (the one case I tried I could close the bolt but it was VERY tight). Have dies coming too.

I was on the USSAmerica Cv-66. Navy sunk her to test out weapons. All I heard is that the Navy was shock how much damage it took to sink her. I still liked the USS Kitty Hawk-Cv63 better.

My point was that both the stark and the roberts did much better than expected. I don't think that a knox or adams class would have survived the same levels of damage simply due to their tendencies to suffer engineering failures when propulsion, electricity and steering is needed most.

Yes, most any gun can go bang if you drop it just right, or rather wrongly onto a hard surface despite all of the time and effort to purposely designing them not to. I try not drop them but the good book advises us to confess our faults (sins) to one another so I must admit to have transgressed on t...
