    This old backstop

    If you shoot into a round bale from the side and hit hi/lo there's not much hay in front of/stopping the bullet. Best to put two bales end to end and a piece of plywood in between the round bales to show if rounds start making it thru the first bale when you're shooting something like a high...

    Remington Model 1100 20 ga

    The X numbered ones are built on the 12ga frame; I bought my wife one not knowing that. When I tried to buy a 26" skeet barrel for it I discovered extra barrels are almost impossible to find. I tried to talk her into letting me sell that one and get her a regular 20ga. But by then she loved...

    Help ID these magazines

    I believe those are Springfield 9mm magazines. A friend bought a like new Springfield that had magazines very similar to those. You might contact Springfield and see what they say.

    Which long gun for fireplace décor?

    They ran a worm screw down the barrel expecting to find a ball but all that came out was paper. They kept digging out more paper until a load of shot came out. After the shot more paper came out. After more paper the powder came out. They put a little of the powder in a pile on the driveway...

    Which long gun for fireplace décor?

    A friend made a similar display for a Hawken-style rifle he was given by an elderly gentleman going to a nursing home and couldn't take it with him. The gentleman also gave my friend a letter from one of his ancestors written in the later 1800s describing where the family had used to rifle to...

    Marlin 1895 scope/mount

    The Redfield is pretty short so I'll try lows first. I'll make sure there's plenty of eye relief. She's shooting a Model 7 synthetic .308 now and I made sure she had plenty on that one.

    Marlin 1895 scope/mount

    Thanks for the reply. I'll go with a Leuplod base and my Redfield, probably also a hammer extension. Do you think I can get by with low rings or should I go medium?

    Marlin 1895 scope/mount

    We've come into a Marlin 1895/45-70. My wife intends to use it deer hunting this season and wants a scope on it. I have a 1.5x5 Redfield widefield I could put on it if it will take the recoil. I've had this on other rifles in the 308/30-06 class without problems. Any opinions? I normally...

    OMG! WalMart to stop selling all handgun ammo!

    I thought something was up. And I think this has been in the works for some time. I went a couple close by places Sunday looking for .357 158gr JSP, no luck. So I went out of my way to a WM in a small town I'd bought them from before, 5 boxes I think. They only had 3 boxes. I also noticed...

    What are they worth?

    Generally: The big auction houses are only interested in high end/collectible items. I've never gone this route but friends have and the total fees were enormous. On-line auctions usually means you're going to get some of them back during the inspection period from buyers remorse, etc...

    Who best to upgrade my 1911?

    I haven't looked lately but at one time Wilson Combat would only work on certain brands of firearms and some of the other top tier places might be the same.

    Is a Colt Model -New Service- worth $650

    I attend the Wanenmacher Show in Tulsa twice a year and it's the only place I ever see many New Service pistols. A total junker won't ask less than $650 and the decent shooters are well over a thousand. Anything pristine or rare will ask many times that much. I have a 1909 and 1917 for the...

    Article About How "Hunters" Are Against Lead Bullets

    We had a company owned trap/skeet gun club built many decades ago that, when built, was a few miles from town. As the town grew some very expensive subdivisions sprang up all around the range. Some new homeowners complained about the noise saying it was against local noise ordinances and...
