    Pecatonica River Underhammer kit.

    I am very interested in underhammer rifles and pistols. My neighbor who used to own one (a 45. H&A), said they were really accurate, and just pretty nifty overall. I was curious about this particular kit, and if it was worth the money, or a good entry level gun, or not. I want to put together a...

    Percussion BP Plinker.

    I'm on the hunt for a reasonably priced, single shot, percussion pistol, for plinking, and probably nothing more. I'm thinking 45, or smaller, and have my eye one a Traditions Crocket pistol, in 32. I had a horrendous experience with one of their flintlocks, but am willing to forget that, seeing...

    S&w 642 vs 638

    I was curious as to which would get your pick, as a BUG. The shrouded hammer on the 638, seems like it could be a deposit for debris to accumulate. The 642, is DAO, but I dunno it I'd ever miss the SA pull, but you never know. I'm just interested in what THR, knows about these two pistols.

    Ruger 45 LC Bisley

    I picked up a Ruger Bisley Blackhawk on a whim off of the internet, and am curious as to if any of you have a Bisley, (Ruger, Colt or whatever), I'm new to this particular grip style, but have known about them for some time. Anyhow I feel like this pistol will help me explore the potential of...

    New gift to self (knife).

    I decided that I really needed this Anza knife, and to get it as a sort of graduation present to myself. I know Anza isn't really a super, well known brand, but from what I've heard they got a good bit of press in the knife publications of the 80's and 90's. Not a whole lot of chatter on the...

    Beretta 87 Cheetah

    I've come across some unexpected funds, and am wanting to treat myself to a really classy 22. handgun. I've always desired a 87, but never could justify the healthy asking price. With that being said owning one could become a reality for me in the near future, and I'm curious as to if any of you...

    J. Guthrie 1975-2013

    I always enjoyed watching him and Dick Metcalf on Modern Rifle Adventures, as well as occasionally reading his articles in G&A. It's so sad to see him gone now, much too young IMO. Saw the link on FB to this article. http://www.gunsandammo.com/2013/04/12/james-guthrie-tribute/

    One disappointed Okie.

    Low and behold, even in the gun friendy state of OK our Senator Tom Coburn is taking a step in the wrong direction IMO, by verbally supporting the measures to provide "universal Background Checks", as we all know by now this is an incredibly deceptive moniker, that could mislead a number of...

    I really wanna dislike this pistol....

    But just can't. This little junker just will not malfunction. The accuracy is quite good given its short sight radius. I really feel like even if it bites the dust with the seemingly inevitable frame crack, I'll have done alright for the money. I hear the warranty is decent ;) In all seriousness...

    What purchases do you plan to make ?

    When the craziness subsides that is. I was planning on making an educated purchase, and purchasing the best AR 10 I could get for my money, before I was so brashly interrupted, by the entire mass panic buys, and crazy demand that helped make the outlandish prices from some retailers and...

    CZ 527 22 Hornet

    I've been looking to acquire a CZ 527 for quite some time. Not just any 527, but one that's chambered for the elusive 22 Hornet. I haven't seen any on the market for a while now. I understand that CZ is probably trying to keep up with the current demand for the new and popular 17 hornet, and...

    Grand Power P1 MK7

    I was curious as to if any of you guys and gals here had any experience or knowledge in regards to this handgun. I know it's made in Slovakia and according to the ad I read is "quite popular in ISPC and tactical applications in Europe". I never seen on in the flesh or even heard of one until...

    Zastava M48-63

    I was browsing Zastava's sight and ran across this nifty rifle. It's a newly manufactured M-48/63. I thought the M48s were long forgotten, by the Serbs and no longer manufactured, but am wholly wrong. I vaguely remember Mitchell's Mausers, carrying them or something similar for a while and low...

    Need advice on Coach Gun for casual use.

    As of recently I've nearly got all of my more practical basis covered in my firearms collection, and I've come to the conclusion that I'd like a range toy of a sort, and have taken a liking to the aesthetically pleasing double barrels that are more defense oriented. The said shotgun will not be...

    AR 10 Noob

    I'm in the market for an accurate, reasonably priced semi-auto .308 of a sort and have decided that for a hunting/SHTF rifle it (AR 10) suits my needs perfectly. With that being said, who makes the best "entry level" AR 10. At the current time I'm leaning towards Armalite's offerings, but am...

    In need of Range finder guidance

    It just so happens that I'm in the market for a Range Finder of some sort and would like to keep my budget a bit on the low side ( I.E. 400 bucks). As of now I'm seriously considering the Nikon Monarch gold 1200 and while I seldom shoot over a few hundred yards here in Okla. I may have the...

    Caracals anyone ?

    I was surfing youtube today and found a couple of positive videos regarding this somewhat obscure handgun brand. Call me oblivious but I don't believe I've heard of this comapany and can't find just a whole lot on the net ( I'm pretty limited as far as google-fu goes) regarding these pistols and...

    Fully Rifled VS Cylinder bore ( Slug guns )

    I've got a bit of a dillemma here, I'm wanting to purchase a designated slug barrel for my Mossberg 835 and can't decide if I'd be better served by a smooth Cylinder bore barrel or a fully rifled barrel. I want the ability to shoot consistently at 50-75 yards and am not for certain if I'd realy...

    Armadillos anyone ?

    I was just curious if I was the only person on this sight that has a problem with Armadillos. Around these parts the population is very thick and these animals can be very invasive and destructive to yards and even crops in some instances in the past month or so with the cooler weather coming in...

    The old Marlin strikes again.

    Here is a quick photo of a decent 8 point that I shot yesterday this is my first rifle season buck of 2011. He sucumbed to my trusty old Marlin 336W 30-30 at about 4:45 yesterday evening.
