    Have you purchased anything gun related in the last three days?

    Do 2x4s and plywood count? Built new shelves in the basement last night.

    How Many of You Shorten Your Stock to Customize LOP?

    Thank you. I have never thought twice about making ANY modifications... to ANY weapon. I'll thread barrels, shorten stocks, sporterize old battle rifles... ANYTHING. I don't buy ANYTHING as an investment. I ain't rich. I buy things to use... so they need to suit me. If I take a loss when I...

    Greatest invention in firearms history

    NOT gonna say gunpowder because that's a given... there IS no firearms history without gunpowder. So... Going on from there... I'm gonna say the greatest invention has been the self contained metallic cartridge. All other developments center around that.

    If you could have only one pistol?

    I hate "only one" type questions. Too many choices... so hard to narrow it down. That said, if I really HAD to... I could hunt with pretty much any of my hand guns. I could defend my self with pretty much any of them. BUT... I can only be quiet with one of them.

    300 Blackout or 556/223?

    There are a lot of "ifs, and or butts" for each one... however, you asked for "if you had to choose one", so that's the answer I'll give you. 5.56 every day, and twice on Sunday. It's just vastly more universal, cost effective, and still can do the job required. In fact, other than being a...

    GenII Ruger American Ranch 5.56

    Hope you like it. I like my gen 1. It doesn't have the screwy looking spiral fluting, but still takes AR mags.

    My Favorite S&W Model

    The 686 is a fine gun. just remember... two is one, one is none.

    Direct thread vs QD

    Same suppressor going quickly from gun to gun makes their cost (and gov hassle) easier to deal with. Just the fact that every can cost me $200 to the gov, (more than the cost of a muzzle device) and a LONG wait time... makes using one can on several rifles worth it. I just add a...

    Favorite 6mm?

    The .243 gets my vote. Mine just happens to be the single most accurate firearm I've ever owed... and that with a factory loading. Shooting it makes me smile. (unless I'm thinking about the cost of the ammo I'm burning through)

    Direct thread vs QD

    I only have the one suppressor for centerfire weapons, and one for .22LR ones. The .22 can is, of course, a threaded model, but I opted for a QD one for centerfires. I got the Surefire SOCOM 762 mini2. It will fit on the ARs, the Ruger American, the Remington 700 Classic...

    What is the last gun that you bought?

    Saw this cute little 5.56, and it followed me home. Hoping it likes at least one of my 5.56 / .223 stash loads...

    Have you purchased anything gun related in the last three days?

    Yeah... a new gun. Well, new to me. Ruger American in 5.56.

    Best 308 for $600'ish?

    $600 is kinda almost an entry level (or used) budget, but we've all been there. (Hell, I still am most of the time.) For that money I'd look at the Mossberg MVP, Ruger American, or Savage 110. And yeah... I'd bee looking for a bargain in the used rifle category as well. As much as I'd like...

    How many Ruger 10/22s is too many? Also what is your favorite setup?

    Well, I only have the one right now, (have had 4 at once before) but that doesn't mean there's any such thing as "too many". I've whittled down my gun collection here of late. Had to sell 7 firearms just to raise funds for the Harley Davidson I've always wanted, and finally decided to get. My...

    Win Deer Season XP - thoughts and initial performance

    I too like the Deer Season load... and for the same reason... my rifle (Remington 700) likes it. Mine is in .243, but that's good enough for deer sized (man sized) targets... and it will shoot just over a quarter inch in my rifle. That's with me behind the gun... so it can probably do better. I...

    6.5 x 55 Swede

    I'm a 6.5x55 Swedish owner now. A Krag-Jorgenson built in Norway in 1944 under Nazi occupation, then sporterized sometime after the war. I picked it up not long ago, had the funky brake taken off, and a Surefire FS and ramped front sight put on. Now it should make a decent little (18") truck gun.

    What is the last gun that you bought?

    New (very old) gun finally back from the gunsmith. Krag-Jorgenson sporter in 6.5x55 Swedish, 18" barrel. Now sporting a Surefire FS and a ramped front sight. Had a funky brake cut into a sleave silver soldered on the barrel I didn't like. No clue who sporterized it, or when, but I love that...

    What is the most recent knife you bought?

    A tribute to my service dog I lost last month. Picked it up from my knife guy today. The Raindrop Damascus has 120 layers each of 1084, 52100, & 15N20. Handle is Torrefied Curly Maple, and he cast the guard and pommel of Nordic Gold. Brandy... RIP old girl. Her 5 month old...
