Is JShirley still active on here? Over two years ago, JShirley gave me a Manix 2 LW as a Christmas gift purely out of kindness because I blamed him for hooking me on blue Spydies. I thought he might want to know that the knife has been in the pocket of my twin brother at the United States...

I am looking at getting my first 1911 sometime in the next month, I was hoping for some advice/answers to a few questions I have. I am on a tight budget, and I am looking at 3 different guns. I can get a Rock Island Armory Tactical with a factory duracoat finish, beavertail, and extended...

After church, I took my brother shooting out in the boonies in Indiana. Took the .50 Hawken, 1858 Remington, and my AR. Near the end of our day, after a few hours of marvelous fun, lots of sweat, and great groups, I was shooting my AR while my brother loaded the 1858. After I finished my 3 shot...

A few weeks ago I traded for an Anderson/DS Arms build, a 16" Midlength gas system chambered in 5.56. I have put about 200 rounds through it and am having some issues. It will cycle and fire full spec 5.56 ammo (mostly Wolf Gold and a bit of Lake City M193) 100% fine, however, it will short...

In a few days I will be getting my first muzzleloader, one of the Italian imported Hawken rifles in .50 caliber, percussion cap ignition. For now at least, I am just looking to shoot this gun recreationally, a hobby to share with a few family members. Shooting patch and ball loads, what...

So I have a weird request- I've been looking around for awhile and am looking for something very specific. Figured you guys could help :) I'm looking for a fixed blade, preferably stainless, with a 3" or less blade, full handle, and enough of a finger guard/choil to be good for defensive...

I have always loved the Leatherman Wingman and have carried one for years. I gave one away as a gift to a friend after I had been carrying it for many months, and I immediately bought a replacement. I had been carrying that one for a few months when I lost it on the ATV trails in the woods at my...

I am 18, almost 19, living in Ohio with my parents. Keep reading, my question isn't what you think! :D So in Ohio, I can't be given/sold/furnished/teleported/anything a handgun until I am 21. Except... "for lawful hunting, sporting, or educational purposes, including, but not limited to...

My grandfather spent many afternoons as I grew up telling me grand and exciting tales of his deer hunting trips to Michigan in years past. They were the only exposure to gun ownership that I had growing up and even as I heard the same stories a hundred times, I still enjoy listening to them...

So.... never posted all this here, only on Spyderco forums, but I'm finally all better and here's my long story and a lot of hindsight on it. Hope everyone gets a reminder to be safe from this... What I posted on 9/23, 2 days after it happened, on the Spyderco forums: "I had just gotten...

I found an old broken and rusty Solingen chef knife in my backyard a few years ago, too battered and chipped to be worth much, and decided to try my hand at making it into an old school type fighting knife on a whim inspired by my little brother. I've been sharpening knives for years and have...

Hello THR! I've been carrying folders for years now and have been thinking about trying out a small-ish fixed blade in a kydex belt sheath for a change of pace. I know almost nothing about fixed blades, and I'm on a very tight budget. No custom knife for me. I want a knife that is as easy to...

Bought the rifle, scroll down for pictures! My brother and I stopped in at the local gun shop earlier today. He was looking at holsters and handguns, I was just coming along to browse and hope for some 22LR for my little brother and sister to shoot. After looking over the long guns on display...

I need help! Got a new Polish Tantal a week or two ago. I installed a wooden Bulgarian lower handguard, and after about 20 rounds, the handguard retainer came loose. Shooting later that day and 2 range sessions since, every handguard I've tried has come loose after 5-25 rounds. A Tapco Galil...

Hey! I got my first revolver a few days ago, one of those horrible, funky gas seal, 100 pound trigger pull, seminonexistant corrosive ammo Nagant Revolvers. It's a 1944 Tula. Why? It's cheap, it's cool, my brother collects Mosins, it's cheap... I've actually been very pleasantly surprised by...

Hey! I have been into knives for only a few years, I've only ever been interested in folding knives due to the fact that EDCing a fixed blade isn't really an option in my state. But I realized today- I don't have a single fixed blade utility knife. I have folders I use occasionally for outdoor...

Hey! I've decided I want to make a spring project out of a Yugo SKS. I want to lighten it up, improve it a little, and have it for my Dad to shoot in a configuration that will be useful and enjoyable for the both of us. I already (carefully and with no permanent modifications) removed the...

Hey! I have a CS AK-47 I'd really like to trade for something else, and thought this might be a good place to ask, what is the best (or a good and free) way/forum/website to trade it or sell it? Never done that before, but figured if I could trade a knife I'm not carrying for one I will for the...

Hey! It's nigh approaching Christmas and I'm thinking about a new EDC knife, sort of a long term upgrade from my current Kershaw Tremor. No real issues with the Kershaw, but it is a $25 liner lock imported from China with no thumb studs. And I was never able to get the clip to reverse to tip up...

Hey! I am looking to pick up a new .22 handgun in the next few months, for backyard plinking, handgun fundamentals practice, and a little informal steel shooting competition. I want something that is number one reliable and long lasting, number two as inexpensive as reasonable, and number...
