    I brought a 22 to a gunfight?

    Like the title says... Now you guys answer. I'd like to have sarcastic and humorous answers. If you don't like to have fun look elsewhere. Because:?

    Wife's early Christmas present.

    This is a new Henry Golden Big Boy .44mag. She picked it out! It's short, light, and with its mild recoil should suit her well.

    Most accurate autoloader?

    What is the most accurate autoloader you've fired? I've heard a thr member say he shoots more accurately with a striker. I like 1911's as a personal preference, however, I'd love to hear form a few enthusiasts about their choice for an accurate autoloader. Make, model, style.. Thanks in...

    Increasing meplat surface area of .22lr

    I may posted this in the wrong place, if so please move as mods see fit. I've seen some jigs to hold and file down the meplat of 22lr. I was wandering if any one has used such a device in either a crank uniformer style, tip punch, or meplat file type. I have several reasons for needing...

    Gun safety- mishaps?

    On very few but memorable occasions I have been witness to gun safety mishaps. So, in response to Sentryau2's post http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=784052 I would like to know if anyone else would like to share such experiences. I'll go first: I was particularly proud of a...

    Stupid 600yd scope adjustment question.

    I've got the calculations from Jbm ballistic calculator with a 300yd zero I am 66.1 inches low at 600yds. Wouldn't an 11inch elevation increase put me nearly dead on at 600yds? It has -10.6 MOA in the drop column by the 600yd line according to the calculator. So really it would be 10inches...

    Tall front sight needed for Ruger P89

    My Google-fu is weak. I looked with no luck. This gun belongs to a friend and shoots about a foot high at 30ft regardless of ammo. The rear sight is adjustable for windage only and can't be channeled out much deeper. Does any one know of a taller front sight? Should he try a new aftermarket...

    why shouldn't I buy my wife a Ruger LC9s

    She shoots my .45 acp well, got her cc permit on her own, and has been angling for a ccw of her own. So why not?

    My gunnut son

    I asked my youngest son if he'd seen anything impressive on his first day in Washington D.C. He promptly sent me this image. I don't recall the museum but it was used in Europe during WWII.

    First ever coyote.

    This guy was a lot bigger than I thought a coyote should be. We guessed the weight at 50-60lbs. Others that viewed this pic say ones they see has mange or hairless. I also thought the legs should be longer. Is it possible to tell(visually) if it's a domestic dog hybrid ?

    RCBS customer service

    I contacted RCBS about my exploded decapping pin and bent spindle. I basically stated that I'd like to order the whole assembly and they just sent me one out for FREE. I just want to brag on them a little.

    Anyone tried IMR 4166?

    I see it's widely available. Could it be because it's too new? Has anyone got around to using it yet?

    Railroad Spike Skinner

    A fellow coworker requested that I make him a knife "while I wasn't doing anything". Here's my attempt. He seems happy about it. And I will get to take the family on a hunting trip to his club.:D

    mod 312 Benjamin Franklin

    Does any know if the pre '95 repair kit sold by Pyramid Air will fix the release port valve on these rifles. To my knowledge Crossman will not fix these rifles but rather give a very modest trade in value on a newer model. After owning the newer model I said "NO THANKS". The actual problem...

    300 AAC vs 7.62x39 AR upper for suppressed subsonic

    I know this pops up from time to time, but a friend an I are trying to get ideas. 1)Mostly it's an issue of 'will the 7.62 be as effictive as the Blackout' as far as their ability to cycle subsonic. 2)Does either round have an edge in accuracy? (Both having proper twists) 3)Would a...
