I have a slight problem with my Beretta 92F. The "Bruniton" finish has quite a bit of holster wear and I've thought about refurbishing the whole gun. Maybe having Beretta do it, maybe DLC coating it, I have no idea yet. The thing is, the rear sight is also worn and instead of anodizing or...

Here's the deal: over 10 years ago I came across a rather rough 1956 Colt Woodsman. 6" Match Target, early 3rd series. No rust, no pitting, but well worn and scratched (rear of the trigger guard all the way UNDER the grips - wth?), missing the slide stop assy and rear sight was pinned on with a...

So I think I've raised my oldest son pretty well. He's hunted big game and upland bird since his early teens, he's proficient in dressing a deer, he's shot IPSC since high school and even makes killer chocolate pancakes for the whole`moose/deer/grous hunting party if need be. But he doesn't...

I keep an eye out for Remington 7400:s and 750:s, mostly because of yet another want instead of need, and stumbled across something I've never seen before. A 7400, .308, advertised as stainless steel, by a shop that also carries two other second hand 7400:s in their inventory. Priced at €390...

So today was the day. The day when my fire sale -cheap Stoeger 2000 finally cycled 1oz and even some 7/8oz shells without a problem. I've been procrastinating with this some 2½ years but finally got around to put my mind into it and results are rewarding. Mechanically it was straightforward...

Phew! A project is finally finished and the results are online. A buddy of mine had this great idea of broadcasting live 1080P full HD stream from my feeder onto his web page and as a tech geek I was all for it. We built a system combining a waterproof 2Mpix IP camera, quite a bit of CAT6...

This might be fun, just as a small insight in what's going on around the world. Maybe even a thread for similar lists from other countries and geographical locations outside the realm of the US? A "tag" system is in effect, without actual tags rather than license documents that must be...

I recently talked to elderly gentlemen who have a long history in reloading and experimenting with all kinds of propellants, loads and cartridges. What really caught my attention is that they had stumbled across a small amount of original German Nipolite, the infamous 8x57 WW2 aircraft machine...

Not that I'd need yet another shotgun, but I've realized that the 1942-vintage Sauer & Sohn boxlock I've used for pheasant hunts doesn't seem to handle high volume shooting too well. When it gets hot it starts to bind and on top of that the fixed M/F chokes aren't ideal for the job. Its case...

I have this idea of upgrading the OEM wood stocks to aftermarket laminate ones on the rest of my Rugers. Mini 30 is easy but even though I've searched far and wide, there seems to be nothing available for the Deerfield Carbine. It's the later, early 2000's model with a detachable rotary...

Last couple of trips up north have got me thinking. When you just hunt moose, carrying a medium-weight rifle like Remington 7600 in my case isn't a problem at all, that's exactly what it's for and does its job admirably. However, when you combine that with upland birds, it gets a bit tricky...

I couldn't find a thread like this so feel free to contribute. Not really a venting thread, but a chronicle of sorts. So... a couple of days ago I realized I need to sight in my rifle for next week's hunt. Not a big deal, a half an hour drive to our property outside of town. Set up the targets...

So my son bought an AK today. It's a hungarian manufactured, milled receiver, early production fixed stock AK, with "∞" infinity-sign on the selector for full auto. Not mint, but in nice shape; some wear on the finish throughout but no nicks or dents anywhere, which leads me to believe it may...

So, we're about to move. Not from our actual house but our town apartment to another, so it's not a huge deal. However, I keep approximately 40 long guns and 30 pistols/revolvers in a safe there, which means that I'll have some 350lbs' worth of guns to move. Both apartments have safes and...

So, I finally got around to figure out how the 2+1 -shot limiter in me Beretta 1201F works. In short, the end plug of magazine tube will have to be removed and there are two shotshell-sized plastic plugs that limit the capacity from 4 to 2 rounds. It's a real PITA to remove and install. I'd...

I recently found out that I need another spare shotgun, mainly for my overseas hunting buddies who can't always be bothered to bring their own or they already bring a rifle. Something cheap but functional. There's a surprisingly nice Stoeger 2000 in LGS for approximately $150, it seems to...

Ok. This is a long shot as no-one seems to have done it before but chances are someone has done at least some groundwork so I'll have to ask. What would it take to rechamber a Russian contract 1895 Winchester to .500S&W? The baseline dimensions, a rimmed cartridge, 7.62x54R, are awfully close...

It's FINALLY here, after endless wading through a river of red tape. A factory original Remington 7600 Carbine in .35 Whelen. As some may recall from my posts in a number of 760/7600-related threads, I've been looking for something like this for quite a few years. Just buying one hasn't been an...

I just returned from a business trip to CA and OR, and having shopped some small, non-restricted items, one legal question has kept bothering me. Let's assume I purchased a high (20-30rd, ie. regular) capacity magazine from OR. Disassembled it and divided all the parts between several persons...

So I finally pulled trigger (pun intended) on a pristine, LNIB Remington 7600 carbine in .35 Whelen. It's even blued and not parkerized, which is a big plus in my book. It's in gorgeous shape, complete with threaded barrel and suppressor, but there's one major drawback: it's been fitted with an...
