    I'm back in the rifle world

    I hadn't fired a rifle in 25 years until Saturday. And then it was just my lever action .22 when I was squirrel hunting when I was a kid (but I was a darn fine shot then!). Went over to a buddy's farm on Saturday and he put an AR-15 in my hands. We were shooting at a target about 65-70 yards out...

    Taurus .22 Hornet.... That's different

    I delivered (I'm the FedEx guy that doesn't throw em over the fence) a GIANT revolver today that I thought was some type of Dirty Harry thing until my buddy/customer told me it was a .22 hornet. I asked why anybody would want such a huge .22 with such a fancy looking scope on it. He promptly...

    Auto,revolver, pistol? Just semantics or what?

    When I think of a "pistol", I think of a small (-er than a rifle) handheld weapon without a stock. I've been reading posts around here that refer to autos and revolvers and a "pistol" is one but isn't the other... What am I missing? When I refer to a Colt 1911 , that's a pistol... When I refer...

    Class picture from 1976, with a rifle?

    I found a copy of a high school yearbook (my highschool, not my year) on line. Now I can remember guys showing up in the mornings during deer season with their rifles in their trucks. I graduated in '86 so there wasn't any real reason not to bring them to school back then, especially in Fayette...

    I've been around guns all my life, but until I started reading this forum I never knew the "proper" names or words for some things. Two that still have me stumped though (and I've searched!) are: BBQ gun And BBL I've seen bbl in reference to barrels, but what's the second "b"...

    Bears? What about......

    There's a lot of guys on here that are worried about the best ammo to stop a bear. We have bears down here in Alabama. I've seen a couple. They wanted to get away from me more than anything else though. I'm curious about something else. We also have alligators down here and I've seen waaaaaay...

    just me? Or you too?

    I was happily surfing through this forum and some others the other night. Some were gun forums, some were radio controlled model sailplane forums. Basically, I was minding my own business and not bothering anybody when my wife walked through the room, behind my chair and looked over my shoulder...

    1960's 22 colt revolver looks like a Peacemaker

    I have a question about the above if anyone can help. It belonged to my father and he taught me and my older brothers how to shoot with it. It looks just like the old Peacemaker, gunfighter pistol, but it's .22 caliber and has simulated one grips. There is a small round, silver medallion on each...

    Crimson trace compatibility question

    I've never seen the CZ75 up close and in person, but I'm just wondering if there's a snowball's chance of the Crimson Trace LG-475 laser made for the full size CZ75 being able to fit a full size steel framed .45 Witness. Surely somebody has one of each gun and the laser and has tried it? Are the...
