    Pickled Deer Heart

    Question for any of those who've perfected the art, how long do you poach the heart before putting it in the brine? I poached mine in beef broth but I think i did it for too long. It wasn't chewy but it did seem a little hard/overcooked. There was still some pink in the middle but I think it...

    Do magazine fed bolt-actions

    of the same action length share magazines (assuming the same model rifle)? Example: Would a magazine for a Savage Axis chambered in 7mm-08 work for a .243, .25-06, .308, etc.? Not making a purchase decision based on this, just curious.

    Affordable bolt action in 7.62x39??

    Does this exist? I am really interested in the new Howa Mini Action that is supposed to be out sometime soon in this caliber, but I'm guessing that is going to cost at least $500. I know, that isn't that much, but why can't some of these manufactures that have budget lines (Ruger, Mossberg...

    Question RE Mossberg 20 gauge barrels

    Two questions actually. 1. Has anyone ordered a 18.5" 20 Ga. barrel directly from Mossberg? They are not listed on the barrel page but they obviously make them as they sell them on a number of guns. 2. I currently have a Maverick 88 20 Ga. w/ the 22" vent rib barrel, would I need to...

    Re-parking Ithaca 37

    Anyone have any idea how much this would cost? I have two barrels and would need to do both. Could any run of the mill gun smith do the work? I plan to buy a 3rd barrel from Ithaca some day, is there a chance their barrel would look different or is all parking the same?

    Making a bulls bag taller

    Anyone ever built something to accomplish this? I was thinking a square made of two-by-fours would probably do the trick. Anyone have pics or plans of how you did it?

    Widener's -- C&R only to CA?

    What's the deal with that? I had a couple of rifles all picked out ready to go and noticed that on the product page. Anyone who doesn't live in CA tried to order something using their C&R license?

    My must-have milsurps: M1, M38, SKS

    I have decided that these are the milsurps I have to have and to prioritize and get these rifles while I still can (at decent prices). I have a few questions about each. I am in the process of getting my C&R to make this easier. M1: anyone know if the $400ish "field grade" rifles will ever...

    .380 load data: 100 grain lead w/ IMR PB

    Hey guys, I found some data for 100 grain jacketed bullets w/ this powder, but can't seem to find any for the same weight in a lead bullet. Is there some kind of simple equation I can use or a general rule for using lead vs jacketed w/ the same powder? Does the distinction b/w bullet...

    Help w/ Lee .380 sizing die

    It worked okay the first five rounds or so, but stopped popping out the primers after that. Still seems to be re-sizing fine. Is it possible that pin broke somehow? It does appear to be shorter than the one on the picture and is definitely shorter than the one on my 9mm dies. Is there someway to...

    Ithaca 37 stock options

    I would like to replace the stock on an M-87 Featherlight I inherited from my grandfather. The old wooden stock is beat to hell and doesn't fit me. I know ATI makes one but it's very pricey and I've already had one bad experience with a 10/22 stock they make. I do not hunt with this gun. I...

    What did Hemingway carry?

    Any Hemingway buffs out there familiar with Islands in the Stream and Under Kilimanjaro (or True at First Light if you prefer)? In those books he talks about carrying a .357 Magnum revolver in a holster on his thigh. In Part III of Islands, he uses it to kill a crab. I have searched all...

    Pseudo Scout Rifle (semi-auto)

    Anybody out there have a set up like this? I was thinking of doing a scout-style rig with a Mini-14. I know ultimak makes a forward picatinny rail for Mini-14s but it is quite pricey ($130). For that one could get a whole new stock that came with a rail on the fore end. Any other options out...

    Value of Beretta Mod. 21A (.25 cal)?

    Used. Ball park? Could use a good cleaning and maybe some new grips down the road but other than that great shape. Anyone know a place to check serial number for year? Offer is too good to be true but just want to make sure before I go through with it.

    Question RE Saiga conversions

    Specifically, doing so using Tapco's stock system. According to their website, the stock and grip would count as two U.S. made parts and if you opt for the hand guard, three. If one were to then do the work required for the bullet guide that would be get you up to four U.S. made parts (or...

    Engagement Rifle: How to round out my collection?

    So my girlfriend and I will be formally engaged sometime this winter/early spring. Along with her hand in marriage, she is sweetening the deal with a rifle of my choosing. The budget has been set at $1,000. I have a pretty well-rounded collection already: 10/22, 12 Gauge pump, M38 Mosin, and...

    738 TCP vs. PF-9 in carry comfort

    The Taurus is .06 in. slimmer, 2.5 oz lighter, and .6 in. shorter. Couldn't find the specs on the TCP's height. Has anyone carried or at least seen these two guns side by side? I am deciding between these two for carry in a suit (front/jacket pockets and possible holster shirt). Not...

    Help explaining firearm safety to SO

    Hey all, I apologize in advance for the lack of brevity, but here goes: my girlfriend and I seem to be in a constant struggle about firearm safety. She believes that a gun is only safe if it is unloaded and locked away. She also believes that carrying a gun on your person is unsafe, and that the...

    Good belt for suits?

    I'll be rocking a S&W 6904 in an IWB holster. My job requires a suit every day, so I need this to be a "dress belt." Ideally would like it to be reversible black and brown, but I'm not sure if they make gun belts like that. If not I would need one of each color of course. Budget is $100 total...

    What else needed to be grandfathered?

    I was going to build an AR very slowly (like a part every six months or so), but I'm starting to think I should attempt to find parts now that I may not be able to buy legally in the future. I have a lower so what else? Magazines of course. Pistol grip? Stock? Flash hider? No need to...
