    Ciener Taurus PT92 kit

    I've had one for several years...it's a lot of fun, very accurate, but it must be kept clean in order to be reliable.

    THR thread inevitabilities

    My turn: 649) When a thread mentions Hollywood and/or celebrity gun owners, someone will be surprised that, despite playing Lara Croft, Angelina Jolie is really anti-gun. 650) "The local gunstore owner has no personality and is rude to me."

    Stoeger Uplander stock

    I contacted Stoeger in order to purchase a straight-gripped English stock for my Uplander, and they told me each stock must be hand fitted to the receiver. Sure enough, I checked my stock and it has the serial number written on it. I guess you could purchase a new stock from Stoeger and send the...

    Strangest, weirdest, coolest thing seen in the woods?

    This weekend while I was fishing on a small pond I got to watching a mother goose swimming with her 5 goslings following along, when all of a sudden the last one simply submerges and does not reappear. I told my 8 year old what happened, so he started watching them also...sure enough, about 5...

    Stoeger barrel question.

    I sent my Uplander back to Stoeger (loose rib...they have great customer service, by the way) and they called to tell me that they couldn't fix the rib and would send me a new shotgun. I told them I'd rather get just new barrels, as the wood on mine was very nice. They told me they couldn't...

    Ithaca model 72 .22 lever - Misfires

    I know that the Henry .22 lever action is the built on the same design as the Ithaca/Erma .22...Contact Henry Arms to see if the parts interchange. I hear that Henry has great customer service, in fact the president of the company often responds personally to questions posted in the Henry...

    Anyone like the older Bersas?

    Sheeesh!!.....

    Hawk- "Vituperation" has me scambling for the dictionary! Elitism or just plain rudeness? I once brought a friend to the range to introduce him to the joys of .22 rimfire plinking when two guys, club members, in black BDU's show up and basically demand that we vacate the range as they...

    Sheeesh!!.....

    Old NFO- Good point about classic cars, but what concerns me, specific to the shooting sports, is this: we have well-funded opposition whose ultimate goal is to shut down all shooting sports, not just those splinter groups/survivalist types...we should seek some common ground and realize...

    Sheeesh!!.....

    Dave- My first fly rod was a aluminum hardware store special, with an old South Bend reel! Fell in love with the sport from the first day out. I just hate to think of some people avoiding a new endeavor because they feel it is too intimidating to try, or they feel they need to spend...
