So... It is the 100 year anniversary of John Moses Browing's 1911 design. What is the best 1911 to commemorate the anniversary?

What are your opinions on cutting down a barrel with a Polychoke, removing the Polychoke with a torch and re-installing the Polychoke on the shortened barrel? I have a line on a nice (yet a beater) 16ga Browning A5 with a Polychoke on a 28" barrel. I would like a short-barrel grouse gun...

The Argument Against Any Gun Control "Compromise" In Three Short Steps: Step 1. The Second Amendment is vanilla ice cream. All-American. Not too exciting, but it works. It works very well. Step 2. Any infingement on the right to keep and bear arms - because "it's dangerous"..."it can...

My trap team is done with trying to shoot Fall trap. Too many nights of driving 45 minutes to get pelted with snowflakes late in the season. And the Winter league is simply brutal. So we have been talking about some sort of pistol competition when our summer league is over if a few weeks...

I made the mistake of getting caught up in a Discovery Channel marathon of "Out of the Wild: The Alaska Experiment" where some city-slickers get dropped off in Alaska and hike between rustic shelters for an indefinite number of days. After 27 days and 45 miles, they just decided to leave...

Todays' Ray of Hope: Greg Gutfeld on Red Eye on Fox News tonight had a monologue ("Greg-a logue") arguing that arming ships to fight pirates is no different than arming ordinary citizens to fight crime. He pointed out that: -He works in a NYC studio that is protected by armed guards -...

Does anyone carry a Sig 2022 concealed? What holster do you use?

The .38 Special is the ubiquitous carry gun, but I see posts saying that you lose too much velocity if you shoot a 9mm out of anything shorter than a 4" barrel. I have also seen this claim about .45acp. Given the choice, I would choose something larger. But, given the choice in a dangerous...

Which 9mm has the best trigger?

What can you all tell me about a Winchester Model 1894 serial #491XXX "30 WCF"? I believe it's 1909 manufacture. Anyone have an approximate value? The metal is likely re-blued, the stock is re-finished (rather poorly) and the buttplate has been replaced by a pad. The sights seem...

Minnesota DNR has dropped the minimum caliber for whitetail to "...at least .220 caliber and with center-fire ignition..." So is any Minnesota hunter using .223 or any other calibers now allowed for deer hunting this year? I'm sticking with larger calibers myself.

This thread... http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=399141 ...got me thinking. The Stoeger Condor Outback is an interesting gun for the type of hunting I do. $369 MSRP. The top barrel could have a rifled slug - possibly with a rifled choke tube for deer. The bottom barrel...

I chanced across this interesting "Teaching and Learning in China" website when I did a Google search on "secondhand lions guns" to try to figure out the guns used in the great movie "Secondhand Lions" for this thread. http://www.krigline.com/lions.htm :rolleyes: Ex-squeeze me? A) In...

I was re-arranging the safe for hunting season last night and I stupidly dropped my 20ga Rem 1100 LT-20 onto its buttstock. It took a nice big chunk out of the end of the stock and broke the plastic buttplate.:banghead: I will be quickly adding a rubber mat in front of my gun safe. And...

http://kstp.com/article/stories/S302808.shtml?cat=1&v=1 "...This Gun Can't Kill You, But It Could Send You to Prison..." This is a teaser story our local ABC News station is playing for a story Tuesday night 9/23. Apparently a BB Gun from the picture description. Does anyone know what...

I stopped by Bill's Gun Shop in Robbinsdale, MN on the way home today. They had a Browning Over/Under, made in Belguim, 30" barrels, 12ga. It had lightly worn wood and nice detail on the metal. It even had a nice little profile of John Browning on the underside of the receiver. Marked at...

Any ideas where I could get a Mannlicher stock for a Winchester Ranger? It's a long action - 30-06. I am pretty sure it's just a Model 70 with a cheap stock. I really like the rifle, but I do not like the stock. I figure if I am going to spend the $$, I might as well get a stock I really like.

I got a good deal on a Browning Citori. Supposedly a "Trap" model with 32" barrels. Built in 1980 (Model 2?). The under barrel is extra full and the over barrel is full. I shot a round of trap trhough the under, extra full barrel. I nailed the first four birds and then fell apart and got...

I just saw on the news tonight that Gunstop Enterprises on the West side of town was burglarized. They ripped the metal security door open and disabled the security system. There was not a complete count on guns stolen, but 30+ guns so far. It was on the local Fox 9 newscast. I have hot...

I traded some nice pump shotguns I did not use for a Winchester Super X2 made in Belgium. The Win SX2 has removable chokes, a 28" ribbed barrel and will shoot 3.5" shells. Serial # 11DNNO3XXX. 3 crowns over an "X" on the receiver. Says "Super X2 Magnum 3 1/2" on the receiver. Today, I...
