    S&W 17-4 K22, Date Help?

    Anyone have the S&W book handy and able to help me learn the year of my 17-4? I understand it’s 1977-1988 vintage, and I believe she’s mid 80s. Would be very grateful for any help gleaning a ship date from Smith, the serial is AEY20XX.

    My Last Handgun, what I chose when Canada shut down civilian handgun ownership.

    I hadn’t made a video in eight or nine years, decided I should probably do one for this occasion as it’s the last time I’ll open a box from the mail containing a handgun in my country. Hope you enjoy, and thought some might be curious what I chose as the last one and why.

    Double Grizzly / Brown Hunt on the Wild Coast

    After a long stretch of writer’s block I had to find my voice again, and what a way and setting to do so a double Grizzly Bear hunt is, at least in my mind’s eye. No question the bottom of a bottle of Aberlour, a pipe, and some successive good strong West Coast IPAs have helped open the literary...

    BRS-99 (PM-98) Underwater Test: Success and Failure. Good cycling, barrel bit it.

    Function, flawless, barrel…? Didn't make it past test three. I have two of these and spare barrels, figured I'd try it and run the risk, they're cheap here in Canada. The BRS-99 is essentially an ergonomically improved Uzi in my eyes, we have a similar barrel rule to remain paperwork free just...

    My (Northern) Benelli M4 Justification Video Review, Part I

    Took the new Benelli M4 out to the bush and put it through a few of its paces, getting comfortable with it as my new bear gun. I work remote in Northern BC and my bear gun is a very important tool for me, I'm fifty yards from Grizzlies several times a summer, and closer than that weekly with...

    Lion & Gemsbok (Oryx) Kalahari hunting update from overseas, POV video.

    Kalahari Gemsbok (Oryx) hunt, after two solid days of following tracks and getting busted, stretched the Merkel .375 H&H's legs over the irons on this shot and dropped a nice bull. Yes, it is indeed the Kalahari despite all the green, the seasonal rains had arrived just prior and were the...

    Tracking and hunting a poacher wounded wild Wood Bison bull

    Not a story from everyday, thought some might enjoy a brief write up on hunting North America's largest animal, the Wood Bison. The conservation officers had me track and put down a poacher wounded wild Wood Bison bull a couple weeks ago, a rare, and extremely unfortunate situation. I had my...

    Tavor -24F cold soaked, ice sprayed, snow packed, then fired.

    I'm a metal gun guy, so the Tavor was a stretch for me. On top of that, I live in Northern Canada, and temperatures with a "plastic" gun were a major concern for me, as I will use this on my wolf hunts. We had a cool forecast, by no means the coldest it gets, and I had some spare time so I...

    Is Leroy's Big Valley Gun Works (FFL) in Glasgow, Montana still going?

    Can't seem to reach these guys by phone or the email I had for them, the number I have for them is 406-228-4867. Would like to use them again to export a gun I've bought stateside to me (I'm in Canada), used them once before and they were great.

    Anyone know the ACTUAL bore diameter of the H&R "Target" .38-55?

    Trying to find a .38-55 that stays true to the old .378-382" groove diameter bores, rather than the new .375" groove diameter .38-55 bore solution most makers are going with. Do you own an H&R Target .38-55? Would much appreciate a quick measurement!
