Hey everyone! Long time, no see. Since I graduated college it has been a wild ride. But I'm starting to make my way in the world- I have a full time job working at an indoor gun range and gun shop and things (knock on wood) look stable for the next few years while I pay bills, lose some...

Hey all, So, a friend that I work with is looking to sell a shotgun that his grandfather left behind that, though he appreciates its sentimental quality, is not of interest to him because he does not shoot or have any use for guns in general. The gun in question is a 1949 manufactured...

Notice I said, "let go." Not "got away," "missed," etc. Let go. Most of my hunting is the pursuit of the 4-legged brown pests known here in Wisconsin as Whitetails. Sure, I do my fair share of small game, upland and turkey, but our cloven-hoofed meals on legs are my most frequent prey...

Well, the title says it all- in short, I want to hear what you all think about the following: A lot of modern rifles have no cosmetic appeal. None. Specifically I am thinking of bolt rifles. I was exploring options for a general-purpose, iron-sighted bolt gun that I am referring to as...

Hey all, I'm more than a little concerned about this- people I know who are not the most pro-gun people I've ever met- are jumping on this like a trampoline. Supposedly the proposed protest calls for the marches to carry their firearms locked and loaded, and the "manifesto" of the group...

Hey all, I need a little help finding some sources for my end-of-term paper in German History, which I have chosen to write as an analytical/historical examination of "gun control" from the immediate pre-unification period up to the end of the Weimar Republic. I am especially interested...

Okay, I need some help here. A friend of mine who is a fence-sitting anti has been asking me about this, and I just need someone to explain the arguments for me...mainly because, like so many of us, I am so frustrated with all of the anti-gun slander and foolishness that I can hardly form a...

So, I consider myself a bit of a writer, and I think I know my way around the English language fairly well. Every once in a while, especially when I'm emotionally riled, I crank out something to help vent. I'd like to think that it turns out well. So, here's what I wrote the other night...

Hey all, I was perusing the AIM surplus site the other day and discovered that they have 'orphaned' stocks and handguards for Mosins, among other things. I also discovered that buymilsurp.com has collections of parts for Mosins, and between the two, you could almost build a complete Mosin...

Hey all- I need some help- for the sake of academia and debate here on my college campus- understanding the various "Stand Your Ground" laws in the different states that have it. In my Political Science class, we discussed the Second Treatise of Government by John Locke, and we examined...

Hey all, I've been checking around in all the usual locations of Mosin info, and I can't find an answer to my question, so I figured I'd call on the esteemed members of THR to help me get an answer. The information I've seen thus far suggests there was considerable overlap in the...

Hi all, Chris here. I've been trying to figure out a way to get students on campus at Beloit College ( http://www.beloit.edu/ ) to learn and be active in their RKBA. Now, of course, there is the problem of this being a pretty (read extremely) liberal/anti-gun campus, but you might be...

Well, I have a few- nothing extensive, and for sure this 'collection' has no theme- mostly, they are my go-to hunting guns. But, these are guns that I would do anything to maintain in perfect condition and keep at my side, all offers and 'collectability' concerns be darned: My father's...

Hi all, I'm settling on what my summer project should be, and I am really liking the looks of the Swiss rifles, 96/11 through K31. I have heard recently that the 96/11s are capable of delivering exceptional accuracy, and like the K31s, they intrigue me. Anyway, eventually I would like an...

I'm not sure if this is the place for it, but, here goes: I am considering acquiring a K31, and equipping it with a St. Marie style clamp mount so I can attach a scope. The perspective optic in question is the Accumounts repro of the Russian PE scope- an excellent repro optic for the price...

Hi all, I'm re-building the above mentioned shotgun that came into the family from my grandfather, rest his soul. Functionally, it's a nice scattergun, but it is definitely lacking in cosmetics. Initially, it started out with a broken trigger guard and an improperly dissasembled action (the...

So, I was shooting my '42 Mosin 91/30 (an Izzy, I call her "Tonya") a while ago, and something very strange happened... I was shooting at my home range up in Appleton over break a few weeks ago, and I had just finished slinging some 203 gr. soft points at the 100 yard targets. I was pleased...

Hi all, I'm one of the new guys here. Name's Chris. Hope I'm welcome here at THR. :) I am a history buff by trade, if you will, and since I could hunt and shoot I have discovered my passion for military firearms. Right now, that collection consists of a reproduction 1863 Richmond...
