My son has had to declare bankruptcy due to the economic conditions and informs me that after turning his car in for repossesion, declaring and selling all his "assets;" that, his sole firearm, his handgun must be declared and sold! Perhaps this would be understandable if he had an expensive...

Just today, I listened to Country-W star George Jones and his song "If Drinking Don't Kill Me." And then there is "I'm Sure Gonna Miss Her!" for the fisherman. And so... Lots of humor and pathos in that. Now, I'm wondering when one of them will issue a song in honor of the "Bible Loving...

My Ruger SP-101 has a blemish! There is a lump of metal at the bottom; trigger end of the cylinder opening, at the rear; grip end, left side only. That is when hand held for shooting. It projects perhaps 3/32 of an inch from the flat surface of the frame. It appears to have had some...

With the price of ammunition as it is, perhaps I should not even consider "Match" ammo for use. But it occurs to me, just what is it? I'm presuming that it is a batch of quality inspected bullets; for weight, dimentional tolerance and perhaps with some manufacturers; dynamic balance. And...

I do not intend to reignite debate about "spray and pray," "supressive fire," or the concept of well aimed gunfire. For reference, please read the post at 24hourcampfire>campfire forums> hunter's campfire: p.1 "Battle in Afghanistan" by Shootnnurse. It is an account of actual battle. In...

I was just viewing the obsidian knives at AG Russell, and noticed that it is stated that they are fragile and not recommended for use. Of course, it is a type of glass. Now; how do the other natural materials such as flint, chert, etc. compare -for actual use? That is, I would presume they...

Today I did some cutting of meat for my little dog Mariah with my old Browning fixed blade knife. I washed the grease off the blade, and realized that some of the water was on the blade at the junction where it enters the brass guard. The clearance there is quite small, perhaps 1/64 of an inch...

I just heard that there is a remake of "Death Wish;" this time starring Silvester Stalone in the place of Charles Bronson. Am I being too suspicious of Hollwood to think that this may be just an attempt to induce some copycat vigilantism by some with a CCP so that political fodder is...

I was alarmed several months ago when I learned that soil samples had been taken from the local State Game Lands shooting range. I posted that here on THR. Read it, and the pooh -poohing I received at the time. The implications were an "inside" the government -State Game Commission/...

Does the resignation of Senator L. Craig; ID, seem just a little too compliant and quiet to you? I mean, if any other Senator, in particular a Democratic one, were accused of "lewd conduct," would they be rolling over and resigning without a fight, denial, counter accusations, cries of being...

Double post. Sorry

Reading the threads here, it occured to me that with all these "sky is falling" type threads, that perhaps many of the seetheing and lurking anti's have assumed that the mind set of THR members are just like theirs. If we become afraid enough, that we will, give up, surrender with out a...

I cannot find an answer to my malfunctioning Mauser HSc, so I'm going public here on THR. My HSc, made in the '70's, fails to chamber the 380 round often, it places it usually butted up against the lower portion of the feed ramp. The round often is canted slightly downward. I've polished...

"Guilaini takes aim at Clinton!" The implication? They have agreed to disagree in order to build up Guilaini for the bid for the Presidency. He has secured the permission and acceptance of the Democrats. It will be Guilani in the fall. "The writing on the wall."

I've been considering removing the stocks from my rifles and treating the wood with a good oil compound, since the insides have no finish on them to repel the oil. Is there any reason why not to do this?

I saw a dashboard recording from a police cruiser in TX, of a shootout at what was approximately seventyfive yards with police out on the highway. I believe the shooter; felon had already shot one state policeman. Four or five officers lined up in formation, shoulder to shoulder and...

Years ago I had read the Pennsylviania Crime Code; a compendium of what is criminal to engage in here in the Keystone state. Of course, it was illegal to discharge a bazooka rocket into the window of a moving vehicle here in my state, but in addition, we were not permitted to fire Flobert...

My son turned on the NBC nightly NEWS broadcast after returning home from work, and I could not believe what I was hearing! "Fidel Castro has outlasted nine US presidents." What happened to all those campisinos who voted against him? Or more likely, there was not even an election. Then...
