Out of respect for the animal, I always try to use every part, but didn't get to eat beaver meat. I hear it's a ... particular ... taste? :) Looking forward to getting the skin back from the guy who prepares it anyway :)

I know the idiom, and was very happy to put it as my Facebook status the weekend we went hunting ;) "Went beaver hunting. No no, you misunderstand, the furry kind." My fiancé amazingly took it very well :rolleyes: If you want to salvage the beaver, you better shoot it while on land. It will do...

Revisiting an old theme. I went beaver hunting this spring, a very rewarding hunt. The area where we hunted had a much to large population, and we were asked by the local game warden to thin it out some. To skin the beaver was hell though. Took several hours with a scalpel. The hide sticks like...

vlad the impaler, welcome to THR! This is an international crowd, so don't expect your statements on behalf of Europeans to go unchallenged. Ahem! Not quite. Unless you don't count Norway, Sweden, Finland and Denmark as part of Europe. Admittedly, Norway is not a EU member, but we're still...

http://www.aftenposten.no/nyheter/iriks/article1733557.ece] (I apologize for not having an article in English, I will post a new link as soon as I find one.) Norway has chosen the HK 416 as the new infantry rifle, replacing the aging G3. So the army is going from 7.62 to 5.56, and as far...

Thank you all for the suggestions!

Thanks for the suggestions, keep 'em coming! :) The Met is already on my list, good to hear about the gun collection.

I'm planning a week long trip to NYC with my girlfriend in May, and I was wondering if I could bother THR with som tips on gun or military history related sights to check out while she does her shopping? I was thinking along the lines of museums, shops, NRA office/shop (I need an NRA mug for...

PATH: No, maximum sentence of 21 years. Usually released after serving 2/3rds of the sentence, depending on the severity of the crime and the risk of repetition. The criminally insane can be kept indefinitely beyond that, and in some cases also high risk repeat offenders. Not a big fan of the...

Kobun, isn't the suspected "mastermind" (just reffering to any of these as "master minds" makes me giggle :rolleyes:. Come on, look at them! :p) the third one from the top? Also a chess genious, apparently ... Hope the rest are caught as well. If they are hiding in Norway, there may be some...

Indeed, Checkman. "11.25 m/m. AUT. PISTOL. M/1914" A lot of details are lost on this picture, but at least you can see the "25" part of "11.25" :)

Checkman, from http://www.worldhistory.com/wiki/M/M1911.htm There were also sterile Kongberg Colt being made by workers during the war, and smuggled out to the resistance. Named from the method of smuggling, they are often called "Lunchbox Colts". On the .455-note, my uncle carried a...

There are certain similarities with the october robbery of the Oslo postal terminal. Well-planned, ruthless, automatic weapons. Ordinary Norwegian police is simply not trained or equipped to handle these situations, and our SWAT equivalent only arrives when the action is over, due to the speed...

Thanks guys! I was just curious :)

Buying a magazine for my Beretta 71 (sweet little thing, especially with the silencer :neener: ) from a German website, I came across the 4mm M20 calibre. Can anyone tell me more about it? German members or others? Is this a widely used training calibre? My knowledge of the German language is...

Slightly off-topic, but I'm sure most of you like to have all your facts correct ... Not quite. The head of state in Norway is the king. Not the prime minister (we have and had no president btw). As to the "legally empowered", allow me to quote from...

These are all awsome suggestion guys! Thank you! And Jick42, this is really great stuff. Thank you very much! I will definitely be using them! :) (Dave R, I am living the good life! Went Christmas shopping with my girl on saturday, and after spending endless hours in her favourite shops...

:evil: (Would have been fun. The range regulations and shooting union rules kinda forbids it. Maybe they would make an exception, but ... nah. Thanks for the idea though!)

It's the season to be merry, and for the Christmas celebration/last training night of my shooting club I'm looking for printable pistol tagets with a Christmas theme. Now, I'm not too crazy about shooting Santa :), so I was think more along the lines of pics of wrapped gifts or Christmas trees...

Yup, you would probably not want to tickle polar bears with a 6,5x55. A geologist buddy of mine who spends time on Svalbard carries an old .30-06 and a .44mag revolver. The last one is mainly for those times when his work does not pemit him to have the rifle as ready as he would want to. The...
