Trust me, a standard Valkyrie has more power than most people need. You can youtube a video of a Dragon (valk) pulling a wheelie. Top speed is supposedly around 138mph. If it had six gears, it probalby would be qite a bit higher. There is a trick, I have seen, with a Valk. You can put a nickle, on ...

Now, for a sleeper bike for the uninformed, as you don't see them alot, but those that have them, love them. The Honda Valkyrie.

Ollogger, I'm one of the retarts who bought into that back when 44-40 92's were hard to come by at my paycheck level. (you know, kids in school etc.) Anyway, I bought the parts and paid a guy to fit everything in a post '64--pre-angle eject carbine. It was OK, not great. As many have stated here, t...

I'd rather see a factory Glock in .22 lr. With the model numbering system they've been using...it could get interesting if their next one were chambered in .22 Tam did a whole "who's on first?" thing about it on her blog quite awhile ago. Sort of went like: "Is that the new Glock .22...

I like venison and other wild meat and enjoy being outdoors, gun in hand. However, I spend too much time napping in the woods or tramping around making too much noise for it to be what anyone that's serious about it would call hunting.

That's pretty much what it is just with certain exact size/weight limits. The forward-mounted scope was a 1980s solution to what nowdays, you'd use an Aimpoint for. Cooper admitted electronic sights might be superior, but AT THAT TIME, they were neither rugged or reliable enough batterywise to be c...

I wouldn't have one if you gave it to me, useless answer to a question nobody asked, etc, etc! What? Who? Put that camera down!

After messing with many other makes and types, I've come back to the 1911 platform. I can make myself work with just about anything I've tried and some of the other choices make much better logical sense, but in the end, it just seems the 1911 fits me best. Not just physically (although I find it po...

Far's I recall the Nyclad-ding equipment went to Lewiston a few years back, so the aluminum case clue would lead me to believe it's essentially a Nyclad bullet Blazer loading done under contract as Herter's.

I had a 44 pump years ago, I think it was called a "Vulcan" if I remember correctly. I recall running into reference to that while doing some research... IF memory serves, that one was something made by Universal. Same outfit as made commercial M1 carbine clones and this was off a modifie...

I've got a hankering to try one of the Charter Arms Target models (4" bbl w/ adj. sights) in either .327 or .44 Spec.. To be used as a "field" gun, plinking, dispatching small game, defense against wild hogs, dogs, and impending global warming :roll: . (Sorry, couldn't resist - I wor...

Only .44 Special I've got. Model 24-6, 3" barrel with Kim Ahrends grips. I like it.
Except for the zit next to the cylinder latch and the occasional worry that the finish might start to peel.

I've had a number of things that I thought would make good trail guns. Especially smallish autoloaders. Tried a Beretta 101 (longer barrelled version of a pocket auto with extended grips and adjustable sights), Beretta 21A, AMT .22 Backup, HK4 and other stuff of that ilk. They all left me disappoint...

You guys are all nutz!!! Buying ammunition, dies and holsters and accesories for guns that you don't have yet. Has anyone seen a rifle for sale in 7mmSTW?

One of the guns I bought from my late friend's collection was a short-barrelled 686+ sevenshooter. I took off the oversized rubber Hogue grip he had on it and stuck on a set of Ahrends' boot grips, thinking it would make a nice carry gun. Then the Mrs shot it... :roll: I think I might still have vis...

I have both pistols and have never had a problem. Its all in how you hold them. The above picture is a good demo. NEVER hold it like that.

Peter, Thank you for all the information about these rifles. I have a question.

Does the bolt cock the hammer, or is there a link to the lever? Looki...

Rented the new one out of a redbox last night, largely on the basis of favorable comments on here.

I had one of the Ruger Frontier rifles; that rifle turned me on to forward mounted scopes. Accuracy out of my particular example wasn't bad and would normally do about 1&1/4" for 3 at 100yds off the bench, witnessed on a number of occasions. However, there were other things I didn't like ab...

Have my gun interests changed over the years? Yup!

I've got a negative BLR story I've been waiting for a good opportunity to repeat/ask about.

The photo wasn't any big deal; took longer to dig it out of the depths of the safe than to pull the screw and get the band and forend off.

It's a simpler approach than you're assuming.

Mine has been reblued and messed up/with to some extent, but I've no reason to think the forend/band area was revamped.

Depends on how you define it. First BB gun was a Dasiy 1894 "Spitting Image" that's still with me.
First cartridge gun was a Remington 581 that I eventually traded off towards a brand new 1976-production Ruger 10/22, but despite that, there's a 581 in the safe right now...

For some reason that thing looks familiar, but I can't put a finger on it. So I'm figuring something I've seen, but not seen in use or used myself. Leading to a wild string of supposition.
