    Single barrels for hunting

    I have often found the break action single shotguns to be more dynamic and of course lighter than doubles and repeaters. Yeah they kick but thats what shotguns do and that is ok in hunting types where not a lot of rounds are fired. I like the hammered style because I am clumsy and fall a lot. I...

    Who,rents guns, who goes to supervised ranges.

    I live in a fairly rural area. The only ranges I know of are unsupervised and often make shift. Besides that I am sort of agorophobic, somewhat anti-social and don't care to join any thing. I think a lot of the advice we give noobs is totally impossible hot air. At none of the places that I...

    Do we scare off would be shooters

    I often read posts advising prospective shooters that they have to practice a lot, practice all sort of positions, clean thier guns a bunch etc. I think we may scare some of them off. It's just not true. I have known effective hunters and poachers that really never practiced. I have also seen...

    I have a son who has seizures. After these seizures he often walks around randomly and apparently unconscious. He is under treatment but probably will have seizures for his entire life. He once walked into a strangers apartment. The guy called the police who came, took him outside and stayed...

    Why I have guns.

    It seems to me that people seldom mention the reason I own guns. I don't own them for self defense or to protect my stuff. Most of them I don't hunt with. Sometimes I do encounter a varmint that needs shooting. I have had neighbors that needed shooting but I don't do that. I trade and shoot guns...

    battery eating bears

    I was talking to my doctor who told me that his deer stand had been torn up by a bear that ate the batteries. I remembered of hearing that once lead sulfate, such is found in most storage batteries, was used to adulterate wine. I checked on line and found that some lead compounds are literly as...

    case 6220 fough black carbon steel

    I happened on a case 6220 rough black knife at a gun show. It was on a guys table and looked lonely so I bought it for 15 bucks. It was dirty with some rust and so stiff I cut my thumb opening it. I was looking at a knife book and it said the old carbon steel rough black knives are...

I had to shorten the screws until it would eject. I think I have seen this before. I have shot it, but I am leary. I know that some of you...

    Disagreeing with the experts

    I don't like checkering, it feels grusome and collects mud. Since I took basic with an M 1,I just cannot imagine telling the DI I dropped the rifle because it was not checkered. I like blind magazines on civilian rifles, they dont pop open or out. Working in a gun store every other call was...
