    Sig Romeo 5

    On Saturday, I was painting one of my ARs when a gust of wind caused the rifle to blow over and hit the concrete 30” below. It landed right on the Romeo. I picked up the rifle and checked the lenses. They were fine. When I turned it on the dot was right where it was supposed to be sitting...

    Seasons

    Isn't it amazing how quickly time passes? A high school friend reminded me that this Friday is the anniversary of the "most incredible dove hunt ever." We knew a cold front was coming so as soon as school was out we headed out to hunt. Didn't need to go home and change because we were already...

    Pig aerial hunt-bust

    We had our place hunted by USDA helicopter last week. Due to the weather they only killed sixteen on our land and 648 in the entire county. They saw many more but just weren't able to hunt very long. That is a bust. The last time we had them out they killed 146 on our ranch in one morning...

    45 Colt

    I love 45 Colts. Rugers, Ubertis, Piettas, whatever. I bought this one yesterday and kind of like it. This is a Traditions (Pietta) Bill Tilghman model. Pretty sure Tilghman didn't carry such a revolver but it is nice that Traditions realizes there is more to the West than Wyatt Earp, Doc...

    I'm such a liar-two new pistols

    I'm such a liar. Several months ago I stated unequivocally that I would never buy another semi-auto pistol again. I opined how I carry black plastic for a living and once I retire I will own nothing but blue steel revolvers. I haven't retired yet but my way of thinking has changed somewhat...

    Why do I shoot pigs with an AR?

    Because I can't run a bolt gun fast enough. This isn't about hunting and sportsmanship. It's about killing as many pigs as possible at one time. They are vermin, nothing more.

    .44 Special

    I carry black plastic firearms (both rifles and pistols) for a living. However, at heart I'm a single action revolver person. In particular I'm a huge fan of Ruger Blackhawks and Vaqueros. This afternoon I was already thinking ahead to reloading and shooting this weekend when much to my...

    Machete for under $50.00

    I need a decent machete for clearing brush and small mesquite limbs. The blade will live on my Kawasaki Mule. I'm not going on a jungle expedition so I would like to keep the cost under $50.00. My clunky Walmart special isn't cutting it (yes, I went there :D) anymore. Thanks for your...

    Question: Traditions Mountain Rifle-Flinter

    I recently acquired this 50 caliber rifle. This is my first Traditions firearm and it appears to be well built. Does anyone know what kind of wood this is? These aren't my pictures but it is my rifle. The pictures make the stock look rather worn but it is actually in perfect condition. As a...

    CVA Mountain Rifle (percussion sidelock)

    I bought a Mountain Rifle last night on the internet. Hopefully I'll get it sometime next week. The owner told me it is missing the forward barrel wedge. Any idea where I could get one? Also, can the rifle be fired with only one wedge? Thanks.

    Pietta 1860 with faux ivory grips

    Okay, I just took delivery on a 1860 today with faux ivory grips. I've never had these kind of grips before. There is a greenish discoloration on the grips near the back strap. It doesn't seem wipe off. I guess I need to get some new grips?

    ASM Baby Dragoon or...?

    Howdy, This revolver is for sale in my area. All the guy knows is it has ASM somewhere on the "gun." :rolleyes: So it is a rusty Armi San Marco. Is this a Baby Dragoon or a 1851? He wants $150 for it. Can you tell me what it is and what you would consider a fair price? Thanks.

    Info needed on Navy Arms "Hawken"

    Howdy folks, I have just bought a Navy Arms "Hawken" 50 cal rifle. Its over twenty years old. The former owner thinks it may be a hunter model, but isn't sure. It looks more like the T/C Trade Rifle than anything else. Is it going to have a 1:48 twist, or 1:66? The barrel is 28 inches...
