I just heard that knife maker Mark Kee was a victim of the recent flooding in Tennessee. Super nice guy, always happy to answer questions on email or Facebook. May he Rest In Peace.

While cleaning out a deceased family member’s house I came across these two knives. Any idea what the purpose of the “bump” on the back of the blade is for?

Had the opportunity to help pound on some steel this afternoon. Chad Osborne, who some of you may have seen on Forged in Fire, has opened up his forge on Macinac Island to the public. Kids as young as 5 are welcome, and knives start at $25 and go up to $100. I took the 5 year old and 10 year...

I’ve wanted a Murray Carter knife for the kitchen for several years. Finally broke down and got one to go along with my field knife. Only cut a few peppers so far but I really like it. I’ll try and update after using it for a few weeks.

Anyone know what this is? Friend sent me the photo and I don’t know.

Can anyone help me ID the manufacturer of this holster? Mine had the belt loop break and I'd like to find a replacement loop but I can't for the life of me remember who I ordered it from. I searched through Google image search for P7 Kydex holsters but the only picture I could find that...

Out of pure curiosity, shortly after the debate I pulled up the inventory for 5.56 PMAGs at a major firearms wholesale distributor. Combining all of the colors and the windowed and non windowed versions, they had about 120,000 PMAGs available. As of this post, they have sold less than 200...

Before I start, I have nothing against owning so called "lower tier" AR15s. My safe includes a $600 (used price) factory built gun as well as one I pieced together in the garage for $425. There are a couple other sub $750 ARs in the safe as well. They run fine for plinking at the range, but...

I purchased an M&P compact last month as a backup duty weapon. We are required to carry the full size M&P, so the compact seemed like a good choice for a backup. So far it has had about 400 flawless rounds through it. As I was packing up to hit the range before work today, something just...

I've seen lots of little "gun hanger" items, usually with a deer head or something, meant for hanging a gun on a wall for display. I've also seen lots of the gun rack type wooden holders that hold 2-4 guns. I'd like to hang a single gun in the home office, and I'd like something where the...

I know someone makes a short piece of rail that screws into a standard hand guard so you can mount a single item like a flashlight. Can anyone point me to someone who makes it? thanks in advance.

I thought I knew a little bit about shotgun slugs, but recent research has proven to me that a little bit is all that I know. There was a recent thread on bears, and a current one on elk, both asking about slugs. Most answers suggest Brenneke slugs over Foster types for more penetration...

Just trying to figure out if this is actual law or just another gun store myth. A dealer in PA just told me that they can't accept faxed or scanned FFLs for a transfer because of State law. He said state law required that the license be signed in ink and mailed to them. I asked if this was...

A friend just gave me a box of some old 148 gr. double ended wad cutters. I've never used double ended wad cutters . . . some of what I've read says to seat them flush with the casing, others say to leave the sticking out a bit. So, does it matter, and is there a preference for one way or the...

I woke up this morning and my wife gave me a wrapped box. I was pretty pleased when I unwrapped it to see what was inside: Bark River Bravo 1, black with the moon glow spacer, with my name and the year on it. I obviously haven't used it much yet but it came shaving sharp and feels great...

Our 12 year old Vizsla died on April 1st and we decided we had gone long enough without a dog in the house. I'm not looking forward to all of the training he'll need, but hopefully he'll be pointing at coveys before too long.

I've understood for a while that shotgun fit was important, but for me it was more about where the stock hit my cheek. Being a very average 5'10" guy, all guns "fit" my body pretty well, it's just that some have receivers and stock shapes that tend to line up better with my cheek and eye...

This was just on the news. I don't care to discuss the actions of the man or children, but more the legality of the armor piercing bullets. Any one have an idea how they define them in Texas? http://www.myfoxaustin.com/dpp/news/local/120809-Man-Pulls-Gun-on-Kids-Who-Rang-Doorbell I'm...

Just thought I'd share. I can't verify that it is true, but I have seen cat prints around a deer carcass in the area. I can't be sure, but I think I've seen that deer as well. There are (were) 3 mature bucks that grazed in the area. It's hard to make out details of the rack, but I think this...

I'm once again trying to solve an issue via long distance calls and email. Let me know if anyone has any ideas on what may be causing this. I have my own Marlin 1894 here to look at, but don't actually have the problem rifle in front of me. Gun is a pre-safety Marlin 1894 in .357 that has...
