I'm in the final stages of tweaking a DPMS LR 308 24" bull barrel variant. I dropped it off today at the local [well-known, good reputation] gunshop/gunsmith for a receiver tweak. While I was there I started shooting the breeze with one of the guys there, telling him the only thing that...

Call up your dogs, fellas, it's almost time! Looking forward to crisp days, cold nights by the fire, roaming the fields with my friends, both human and canine. Posted this on another site, but wanted to share with the guys that encouraged me to get back into the shotgun thing! See you...

Some of you may know that I've just started getting back into shotgunning. Taking clays lessons, practicing whenever I can. I use a Beretta SP II, O/U. The other day, while driving home, I started wondering about buying an extra barrel for this thing that would be more appropriate to...

Hi everyone. A little background. I'm trying to manage our old Northern Michigan farm to be wildlife friendly. This includes judicious forest and meadow management, with a view to making it a desirable habitat for deer/elk and woodcock. It's about 80 acres, surrounded by thousands of acres...

We see a ton of threads concerning gun selection and purchase information. I thought it might be a good idea to assemble a list, something that could be polished when everyone has had some input, on critical decisions one should make before trying out and/or purchasing a gun. I’ve always felt...

Like many others [from the threads I've researched], I'm one of the odd ducks, that is right handed, left eye dominant. I therefore shoot handguns right handed, but gravitate to shooting long guns left handed. I am, however,comfortable shooting shotguns/rifles either right or left as far as...

It's sunny, warm and humid today. Memorial day weekend, and as an older, nostalgic sort of guy, I'm getting sentimental. *Raise my cup of coffee to the memory of, among others, "Chip."* For some reason, I think back, a bunch of years now, to Harmony Church, Fort Benning. I have the...

Just for grins, I'm thinking about tricking out an additional 10/22 for tack-driving. In going over the various optional add-ons, I like what I'm seeing regarding the Hogue stock. Here's the question: Does anyone know if that stock has a removable butt/recoil pad? I'd like to add an...

I did a search...here, google, and can't seem to find a source for buying clays online. The local Bass Pro shop sells Remington clays cases, but only on a seasonal basis. I find a lot of manufacturers, with contact information geared for club purchases and such, but here's what I'm looking for...

I'm just in the finishing stages of a new "hidden in plain sight" gun cabinet. The guns will be in a case, laying on padded high density foam material. Keeping in mind that all the guns get used, or at least cleaned on a monthly basis, what is a good fabric to cover the padded floor? It...

A while back I posted that my wife almost gave me a heart attack by giving me one of my "dream guns" for our anniversary. [Beretta O/U, Silver Pigeon III] I finally got a chance to take it out for some clays lessons...very proficient, yet curmudgeonly old-timer was my coach. I say "old,"...

[Did a search for this topic...I apologize if it's a duplicate!] I've been thinking about this quite a bit lately. Since one of the elements of successful concealed carry is the fact that "surprise" is on your side if trouble arises, [and having said that, I never let people know I'm...

Ok, all you actors, directors, producers, writers...who will preach the "inherent evil" of a law-abiding citizenry to keep and bear arms. If you really believe what you preach, here are some ideas for you to put your money where your mouth is: Refuse to hire armed bodyguards If guns are...

I guess I'm a creature of habit. I find tweaks and accessories that work for me, and apply them to every similar gun. For the two autos...[5906 and 4566, both TSW] I installed LPA adjustable rear three dots. [Eyeglasses issues...they just work extremely well for me] Replaced the...

I know I’m a new member to this site, so, moderators, move, delete or lock this as you see fit. Lately, we’ve seen some scattered posts about dogs. Some about hunting with them, some about “using” them as what amounts to defensive weapons. Before I get started, I want to say, I’m no...

Based on a suggestion from a shooter I know, a few months ago I started using "One-Shot" cleaner/dry lube on my guns. The benefit of dry lube that I've noticed is that the guns stay "cleaner" longer when not in use, there's nothing to attract dust and allow it to stick. It's also very nice...

I could use some advice here... Issue: Newer S&W 4566TSW, [3rd generation] came with Novak lo-mount fixed 3-dot sights. Without going into the whole argument of why you'd want to switch to adjustables...I want to switch. I've got an S&W 5906TSW that came with the adjustable rear...

...and after recently posting that my wife likes shooting, but would never buy any guns for me...came home to find my birthday present waiting on the table... Beretta Silver Pigeon O/U 12g!!!! If I weren't already married to her, I'd propose all over again! I'm going to go sit down...

Being new to THR, I'm assuming that at some time there's been a thread like this...but another can't hurt! Just general tips, things you do that are just simple, cool ideas. I'll start the ball rolling with one of my own. Being an amateur photographer, and a one-time digital imaging...

I'm having a hard time trying to find a Kydex [paddle, if possible] holster to fit this .45. I currently use a more than acceptable leather paddle holster for it, but with the hot weather upon us, I'd sure like to know if any manufacturer out there makes a Kydex or something similar that'll...
