For those of you that were around back then id love to hear what the shooting scene was like at the time. What were gun stores like? What were the popular opinions of the time. Were handguns strickley defensive tools? Were scopes popular on rifles? What guns were popular? Was hunting as popular...

I'm pretty well read on keith, cooper, jordan, askins, taffin, and venturino. Does anyone have any recomending reading they could suggest. They dont have to be strickly gun oriented. I'd really like to find an author with mutiple works to seek out too. Hard to find books and controversial...

I work in the industrial industry and its against company pollicy to carry at work. If I was to get hurt on the job while carrying and woke up in the hospital, could the company deny paying my medical bills becasue I was in violation of the no guns at work pollicy? Thanks

Does anyone ever get stressed out because they cant figure out what kind of guns their currently into? I have three major areas that intrest me they are hunting guns, defensive guns, and old west guns. I've gone years just focussing on one style and been completely happy. I have tons of books on...

For those who hunt rabbits, I'm curious how far you can consistantly hit them shooting offhand with a scoped rifle. Thanks

I'm wondering if anyone has handled or heard anything about the new M70's on the winchester site yet. I'd like to get one if their up to par but havent seen one yet. Thanks

I'm looking at getting one of these in replica form and have some questions. 1. What was the difference between the 61 and 63 Springfields? 2. What kind of groups can I expect at 100yds with both balls and minis? 3. Can the sights be adjusted by reasonable means? Thank you

Does anyone currently offer those fancy bolt action stocks I always see in 70-80's era gun magazines? Features such as: High gloss, figured wood, ebony or rosewood grip and forend cap, diamond or game scene on forend, raised comb ala weatherby. I believe Fajen may have been one of the names...

I've been reading more and more about this guy an find him very interesting. Unlike a lot of writers he never seemed to have clung to one caliber or gun ala Keith, Oconner, Cooper, but rather continued to test and use new guns as they came out. From what I've read he was a real gun junkie and I...

Has anyone tried making very light bp loads with a round ball in 45colt? I've seen refrences to them including 8gr of powder and wondered if an air space in the case would be permissible given the mimimal charge?

I've been reading a lot of pre 1900 newspaper articles involving shootings where the author will often claim one of the participants was armed with a large navy revolver but never an army revolver. I got to wondering if maybe at the time all colt percusion revolvers were refered to as navy...

I see PD TV is on the outdoor channel tomorrow at 730PM.

I thought of something I'd be willing to spend 200$ on a tax stamp for but have some questions. I'd like to buy a 14'' 870 barrel to put on my HD shoty which I dont think will cost too much. To legally do this do I have to send the gun anywhere while the paperwork is being done or just the...

The load was 38colt with 18gr FFF and a 158 rnfp. The chipmunk was taken at 23 yards one handed and the bunny 20 yards two handed.

I'm looking for a mid size fixed blade knife to wear openly on my gun belt while in the outdoors. I'd like it to be an authentic style from the 1865-1900 era. I'd also like it to be handmade in the USA and come sharpened. Nothing fancy just a good quality working knife that would have been...

Does anyone know what year Colt started leaving their hammers white taking on their current appearance?

Regarding a full size 44 or 45, I've been thinking about who would have chosen a revolver over a rifle in the old west. I supose outlaws and lawman of course, also military but I wonder about the average civilian. We definatly know they did as the numbers sold cant be denied, I just wonder what...

I'm sure others have thought about this, but what about indexing the large easy to see rear sight and slide on a target at close range rather than the front sight? I've found particularily with a 1911 which has a thin slide that when I do this then check the front sight its always on target...

I've been pretty impressed with the striker fired pistols that have come out in recent years and wondered if anyones thoughts on them have changed besides mine. I used to prefer the classics ala 1911,P220,92F,CZ75 etc. but have to admit lately I feel that the current generation of point shooter...
