Howzabout we lighten up on Alec Baldwin just a little bit,,, Far too many of the posts about him are what my Grannie would call "plain mean". "He deserves what he will get" "Serves him right for being a Hollywood liberal" People in the Pro-2A community are laughing about this tragic event...

How do I "scope" an 1858 Remington Carbine? Several years ago I saw an 1858 Remington Carbine (repro of course),,, That had a slender brass scope (maybe 3/4") mounted on it. If I recall correctly the mounts sort of "clamped" on the top strap,,, Similar to how one would mount a scope on a 3/8"...

I have a question for all you Schutzen (sp?) rifle owners,,, Where in the heck do you find ammunition for them? When I read threads about these absolutely beautiful rifles,,, They are always chambered for some obscure round I've never heard of before. I'm guessing they were common rounds in...

Back in 1975-76 I was a staff sergeant in the USAF,,, I was sent on a TDY to an 18 man seismic detachment in Pinedale, Wyoming. The Airmen there had a legitimate USAF sponsored Rod & Gun Club chapter,,, They could order rifles from dealers and distributors for their members. While I was there...

Where can I buy this cleaning rod? This one came out of a S&W Model 15 tool kit,,, But it will fit in a .22 caliber bore. I've seen them in aluminum or brass,,, Either will do for my purpose. Even a plastic one would work,,, But metal is much preferred. If you know a place that sells...

Where can I order/buy this cleaning rod? Or one as similar to it as I can get. This one came out of my S&W Model 15 tool kit,,, But it does fit in a .22 caliber barrel. In the past I've seen them in brass and aluminum,,, Brass would be classier but aluminum is perfectly acceptable. So if...

In this day and age,,, Is there really a practical use for a large Bowie type knife? I'm really not trying to troll here,,, I fully understand the desire to own a finely made iconic knife. But it just seems to me that a knife like the Buck 119,,, Or a folder like the Buck 110 could serve any...

I'm giving away my Ruger LC9 with .22 Adapter kit,,, It's going to a young lady who recently graduated high school and is now attending university. I've known this girl since she was 3 days old,,, I carried her around the building I work in to show her off. I told everyone I bought her from...

Wheeler Engineering Professional Reticle Leveling System - Anybody use one? I played Musical Scopes with nine of my rifles a few weeks back,,, Normally I take my scoped rifles to The Evil Pawn Shop Guy,,, He only charges $10.00 to level & bore sight a gun. But I'm thinking of buying this...

Way back in time when Dinosaurs ruled the earth,,, My grandfather gave me an old S&W .38 pre-model 10 revolver. He also gave me a Lee Loader and all the stuff I needed for it. Even though ammo was cheap enough back then,,, It was still cheaper to reload my own. Grandpa took me to he local...

Scored some free 9mm ammo over the weekend,,, At least it was free to me at this time. Saturdays are my days to not do anything productive,,, Usually I watch a few movies and putter around my house. With the current ammo shortage going on I decided to let my OCD out to play,,, I spent a happy...

Even though I was not able to respond to them over the weekend,,, I read every post and was educated by their content. Too bad it was closed before I could amend the original question. It was my use of the term "flagship" that caused confusion,,, Maybe I should have used the term "work horse"...

For CZ I would say it is the 75B,,, For Glock I would say it is the G19,,, For Beretta I would say it is the venerable 92. What would it be for Sig Sauer? Aarond .

Anyone have the 2nd generation Remington R51? I have a young friend who is graduating from University this May,,, I introduced him to handguns and have taken him shooting on many occasions. I want to buy him a centerfire handgun for a graduation gift,,, One of the pistols I am considering is...

It is so nice to work at a State University,,, We get off at Noon today and I have the next 12 days off. I just purchased close to $600.00 of handgun ammo,,, I'm hoping to be able to get to the range on some of those days. It's just me and my two cats,,, I anticipate a lot of time watching old...

So In he last month the weather has allowed me to finally get to the range a few times. A few weekends ago I met a couple their who had just bought a SCCY 9mm,,, The one they had was the CPX-2 model with no external safety. After we chatted a bit they graciously allowed me to run three mags...

So, do any of you folk own a French Lebel revolver? I own one of these gems and it's a fine shooter,,, But ammo was a bit difficult to find. Fiocchi makes factory new ammo for it,,, But according to Fiocchi they only make a run every 3-4-5 years. The last time it became available I...

I dreamed up a new type of rifle last night,,, Honest to gawsh it came to me in a dream I was having. I had just watched "The Free State of Jones) yesterday evening,,, I had a dream about an ante-bellum gun battle. I was shooting at someone with my 1858 Remington revolving carbine,,, When it...

Is there a metallurgical purpose for nickel plating,,, Or was it purely a cosmetic bling thing? I showed a friend my nickel model 36 and he asked,,, I honestly don't know what to tell him. Was it originally supposed to be a rust preventative or something? Also, when did nickel plating first...

I think I found the answer to the "Who gets my guns?" question,,, I wish I had seen this when the relatives were fighting over my Pop's stuff,,, It would have been high-larious to watch those slobs tase each other. Aarond .
