It appears Governor Northam went a step too far in grouping indoor shooting ranges with 'entertainment' venues in ordering them to be closed ostensibly under his emergency powers due to Covid-19. Judge Yeatts' opinion can be found here, and is a fascinating read...

I was there and couldn't be more proud of everyone. I saw the .50 guy, the guillotine, a Hong Kong flag, rooftop snipers, folks dressed as revolutionary soldiers, armored cars, elected officials... and lots of people of all races, religions, creeds and orientations coming together in the...

I shot in my first turkey shoot last weekend, and won 2 out of the 6 rounds I shot using a friend's 870 as my long barreled shotguns were all set up with IC chokes for clays. I walked away with about 30lbs of various local meats, and I'm hooked! I'm putting together a turkey shoot build or...

More and more I've been liking the idea of a light, compact 7.62x39 rifle with a red dot scope for deer hunting. I'm in southwest VA and very rarely have occasion to take a shot at over 100 yards, and am much more competent with an aimpoint than a traditional scope where parallax and consistent...

My normal deep concealed carry for the office, dressier occasions, etc. is a KelTec p32 in a leather holster I made that prints like a wallet. Sometimes if that's still going to print too much I'll drop a NAA mag into a jacket pocket or similar. The last time I went through 'security' at an...

I've carried a Benchmade 707 Sequel for close to 10 years, and picked up 2 extras when I noticed they were being discontinued next year. Eventually I'll use them up, wear them out, lose them, or trade them away, so I'll need another model to replace my 'standard.' I have Griptilians, Mini...

Hi all, this is a touch off topic, but I noticed a thread a moment ago that mentioned finding a large number of ticks on the shooting bench (or maybe the shooter) while doing some target practice. We're getting into heavy tick season, and nice weather has a lot of us outdoors more often than...

I thought I'd share a pair of very different Colt's 1903 Pocket Hammerless pistols with you guys. One is the beginning of an exercise in bringing the 1903 into at least the latter half of the 20th century, the other is a classic and not for tinkering. Both pistols were made within a year...

My dad sent me this link yesterday, it's a sensation piece on an exploding 10ML-II, and pending lawsuit. (warning, image at the top of the link is graphic) https://apnews.com/adbc910fa9064d4fbdeab57f5157d861/Gun-maker's-exploding-rifle-leaves-trail-of-injured-hunters I'm curious about what...

I've had a 1903 colt pocket hammerless for probably 8 years now, made in 1911. I swapped out the hammer for a notched one, and carry it frequently in the spring and fall, it's my go between for pocket pistols and full size service guns, and I love the little guy to death. But the sights have...

I hadn't seen this posted here before, I just found this making its rounds on a social media site, and thought it prudent to link here. It's a brief on gun control from Jody Powell (Carter admin press secretary) to George Stephanopoulos (Clinton sr. policy advisor), that was forwarded to...

I've heard of the makarov holsters that chamber a round when you draw a few times in conversation and saw one once on a t.v. show, but I've never actually seen one in person or for sale. I just stumbled across this site: http://getrussiangear.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=11 and now...

I just read this article: http://www.examiner.com/gun-rights-in-national/atf-testimony-admits-many-unregistered-machine-guns-allowed-by-ruling And now I'm thoroughly confused. Are there, indeed, legally transferable machine guns out there that aren't subject to the NFA, need no tax stamp...

I've been working on a 1911 project lately, the basis for which has been a colt series 70. I've long been aware of issues stemming from the collet bushing breaking and jamming up these guns, and naturally the first thing I did was fit a solid bushing to mine. With the stock gun, a hesitation to...

I've been working on a Series 70 1911 "age of flight" gun, to tune to my desired specifications, as seen in this thread: http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?p=7317810#post7317810 These guns, stock, are on the C&R list, but as I explained in the thread the gun is worth about the same as...

Along with a p38, a Luger, and a Broomhandle Mauser, I came into a 1911 "age of flight" mkIV series 70 Colt 1911. It had been fired; it was not abused, but it had been used. I've seen the special edition colts for sale, and it seems that unless they are in NIB condition, with box and papers...

My Beretta 950 Jetfire in .25 acp is ejecting shells straight back and up. If I'm lucky they'll bounce off my head or over my shoulder, but I'm predicting hot brass down my tucked in shirt sometime in the future if this continues. These guns don't have extractors, so there's no tuning there...

So I just came into a Beretta 950 Jetfire in .25. It's a neat little gun, the build quality is unbelievable, and at 10 ounces I think I'm going to like it for those summer days at the beach and otherwise where anything bigger will be too much. But I am curious about .25 as a caliber. It gets a...

...doing some research, as I'm not as up on my smiths as I should be, and I'm now pretty sure it's an early post-war transition gun. The serial is S848***, it's a 4", and though it has later grips, the numbers on them don't match the gun. I noticed the barrel is pinned, but the cylinders aren't...

Just got done with a knife intended to be a Christmas present. It's in 0-1, heat treated and tempered at 375. The scales are high contrast ironwood from jantz supply, with "black eye suzy" mosaic pins from the same. My edge geometry is getting better; this was a breeze to sharpen and it's...
