Here are plans for a target stand I built in less than two hours. Cheap, easy to make and works great! Don't know if anyone else ever made one similar to this, but if they did I have not seen it. This is my own creation.

I started collecting back in 2011. My acquisition strategy evolved over the past four years. One rule I follow is that I do not sell a gun unless I simply do not like it or shoot it and has no recognized collection value. Learned that lesson the hard way! My first gun was a S&W Model 10...

Doing a little math here and I realize a 16x50 power Nikon Extreme Action bino will make a 200 yard target look like it is 37.5 feet away. A Leupold 20-60x80 SX-1 Ventana Spotting scope costs 2.3 times as much money, but theoretically at max zoom that same 200 yard target will appear to be ten...

So I've upgraded my Remington 700 BDL thusly: 1. the trigger to a Timney set at 1.5 pounds, 2. added a Blackhawk bipod (easily removed with a twist of a knob) 3. pillar & bedded with a ScoreHigh Kit 4. upgraded from a 3x9x40 Redfield Revolution scope to a 4x12x40 5. cleaned...

This post is linked to a previous thread about my Remington 700. Someone pointed out the engraving on my stock might not match the year I thought the gun was manufactured- http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=719223&page=2 So, the RECEIVER has serial number C6988974. The Barrel...

My son has not given me any grandchildren yet, but if you saw his current girlfriend, you'd figure its only a matter of time! Meanwhile, without any real grandchildren, I do have something I'm spending money on like a spoiled grandkid - My Remington BDL. I bought it used, online. Serial...

I know Father's Day is a week away, but I figure I'd submit it now since I'll probably be doing other things more imnportant on the 17th... A Range Report for Father’s day Range Date: Saturday, 09 June, 2012 Location: NRA Headquarters Range, Fairfax, Virginia Time: 9:20 to 10:15 AM...

Within two days of sending Ruger a message from their website, I got the following reply from Mike Fifer, the Chief Executive Officer of Sturm, Ruger: Dear Mr. (name deleted), A 1911 of our high quality is a difficult firearm to build, and in spite of considerable capital spending on...

If I ever get a Ruger SR1911 - one of the things that impressed me about the specs was the titanium firing pin. Recently I read a thread where an obviously experienced gunsmith did an extremely thorough review of the gun, checked all dimensions, did a range report and then replaced several...

10/6/2011 - I decided to revise this after reading some replies, but its still the same thread, just trying to clarify the question: Suppose you are broke, no job, and have nothing of any value except your gun collection. Someone offers to buy them all and you agree but will keep just one...

Scenario: SHTF and now things have settled down a little bit. Money is no good. Barter system for almost everything you need, trading either goods or services. Having your own firearm is required in your secure community, but a law enforcement group is keeping things fairly safe. Food is getting...

Bought it last night. Cleaned it for the first time this morning. Waiting for my son to wake up and then after breakfast we will head out to the range at NRA headquarters, Fairfax VA. Here she is, my latest acquisition:

First of all - nobody was hurt - damaged a picture that was on the floor next to the TV stand. Destroyed a Spode Sugar Bowl - Collectible- sitting on the TV stand. I ordered a replacement sugar bowl this afternoon. Here's how it started. Early this morning I opened the locked storage locker...

I got bit by the gun bug this past January. I've bought seven various fireams so far and was able to justify each one to my wife. Just for the record, she does not consult with me on her all of purchases. I told her about the Bodyguard .380 I have on layaway (I need it for Summertime pocket...

I'm tired of going to the range and constantly swapping reading glasses with safety glasses Web search reveals several brands of bifocal shooting glasses and I'm not sure what brand or style is best. They come in clear, yellow and shaded. Magnification 1.5 to 3.0 - I figure the same rating...
