    22 Ammo cannot find

    This is a nationwide, and likely permanent problem for those of us who like to shoot .22. The only way for me to find any, is to show up to Sportsman's Warehouse at 9am when they open on Thursday when they get their shipment and buy one bulk box. I waited for months to have a free Thursday...

    Just a picture of "my" Hawken

    My grandpa built this T/C 50 from a kit - my guess would be in the 1970s? He didn't own any junk guns, and kept all of his in the most pristine condition possible. I've seen other Hawkens, but none this pretty. I should have polished the brass before this picture, but sadly, I am not my grandpa...

    Lever Goodness

    I'm pretty disappointed in the quality of my new camera's pictures, but here they are: 1895G 45-70 made in 1981 and 1967 39A Golden Mountie. Both were my grandfathers. The .22 is 10x nicer than the picture shows, with a glossy high grade stock. Several people have offered to buy it from me...

    Best way to deal with a black bear??

    Don't shoot the bear unless he's a threat (sounds like he could be) and you're going to drop him right then and there. A .22 would be cruel. Use your most bear killingest rifle. 45-70, .308, 30-06, etc. Then get ready to make lots of sausage.

    .22 Caliber Blanks

    I've pulled the bullet and dumped powder from .22 shorts and fired them. Barely a noise at all.

    Is talking about our guns a good idea with big surveillance govt?

    When you buy a gun from a dealer, it's already registered to you. When you buy private party, as those who value their right to privacy and freedom have a tendency to prefer, it's not. Know that the United States government has decided that it is above the law, which it can also change at any...

    Why Are AKs So Much More Expensive Than they used to Be?

    Well, there's lots of factors. Some are big factors and others are little. Off the top of my head and in no particular order.... a Democratic president always helps gun sales soar (due to people fearing them being taken away/limited) increased demand decreased supply both of the above...

    Lever Goodness

    These are fantastic pictures, folks! We have some real photographers here who live in beautiful country! Please, keep up the good work. When I have some time I'll take some halfway decent shots of my Golden 39A and 1895GS..... and my Winchester...... after I buy it. JoeDorn, I certainly...

    Where do you live? And why?

    I live in the PNW. I live here because like so many others, I never leave the area where I grew up. The climate is perfect for farming and we still have many legal rights many other places in the nation don't. I was born here and I'll die here.

    After the fact bill of sale - What would you do?

    Thanks, everyone. I think if this situation arrives again, my response will be "I'm sorry, but I'm not comfortable giving out that information." If that means they won't release the gun, oh well. No gun for me and no cash for them. Long live freedom, long live freedom to privacy.

    Do you think it's okay to give/loan police deparments ammo?

    I'm not going to claim that every "homeless" man out there is actually raking in $400 each day and going to a nice air conditioned paid off house at the end of his shift, but they are out there and loaning or giving ammo to police is akin to giving these career bums money. (note: I am NOT...

    My Range Was Ordered Closed Today

    A local man bought property UPHILL from a gun range that has existed 50+ years and has been trying to legally shut it down because of the risk of stray bullets and supposed lead contamination. He obviously (obvious to me as I read the local paper and know more about him than I can say here) has...

    Pistol videos on youtube

    I get why they do it, but I also agree it's kind of a given..... or at least it should be...... that there is no round in the chamber, magazine, cylinder..... If I were to make a gun video, I would simply state that the gun had been checked off screen and was empty or loaded with snap caps...

    After the fact bill of sale - What would you do?

    I bought a nice new to me rifle today from a private party - just the way I like it. About 10 minutes later I was at a store on my way home when he called and said he forgot to do the bill of sale, which had not been brought up by either of us previously. He asked for my last name and DL#. Now...

    Why did I ever sell my first Mosin?

    A few 440 round cans will be my next internet buy. Same with .22lr when the supply returns. I want to buy tons of ammo and never have to buy it again. I'll also get some pictures of it (and possibly the 91/30 I'm likely buying on Wednesday) up. The Mosin I sold was to a coworker, so I've shot...

    Why did I ever sell my first Mosin?

    Ah, that's right. I needed some cash. The only reason I ever sell a gun, really. It's been a while since I've owned a centerfire rifle, and I got my new to me 92 year old rifle today. (my quest for an AR is on hold until prices go back into the sane range, and I've found out the levergun I...

    I'm ashamed to stoop so low as to ask this question.

    Thank you all for sharing wisdom and advice..... ShadowsEye, that is most likely what I will end up buying if possible. ArchAngel14, way ahead of the crowd on that one! Hehe. As most of you have also seen, I have been seeing ARs go for stupid prices on armslist, gunsamerica, craigslist...

    I'm ashamed to stoop so low as to ask this question.

    What is to be gained by a stainless barrel? Is it stronger, dissapates heat better? Dang, if it weren't 9:30 on Sunday I'd be out asking at stores, but they're all closed!

    I'm ashamed to stoop so low as to ask this question.

    It's been asked millions of times on hundreds, if not thousands of forums. I do apologize. Seriously. I do. I have criticized it in the past, I had nearly lost all interest, turned away by how seemingly over-popular it was, and yet..... I have given into fears of possible future events, and...

    Only the Brave Need Apply...

    Taurus PT22 in the pocket - why? It's light, unlike every other handgun I own.
