    Build a AR?

    My son in-law just bought a Del ton 556 last week for $330 new on sale. It came with a 30 round mag and optic sight I think already installed. The optic added $150 to the price = $480 . I looked up a Del ton kit, same gun, no mag, no lower and no optic. $350. So, add say $60 for cheapest lower...

    Build a AR?

    Yeah, I understand what you saying. I launched a Remington 550 sear spring into orbit a couple years ago. I think NASA has declared it a UFO.

    Build a AR?

    Yes, I do have old fart fingers. But, if you can put the sear spring in a Remington 550-1 you can't help but think you can do anything. Old fart fingers or no. I was thinking of "assembling" a ar just because? But, If I see it's going to cost more than I could buy a new one for, I may just go...

    Build a AR?

    I'm thinking of building a ar. Not because I need one or even want one. Just because? I have good experience with tinkering with firearms. Not in any way a gunsmith, but a dang good "Bubba the gunsmith". I can completely disassemble & reassemble lever actions, pumps and some semi auto rifles...

    Show Me Your Lube Shelf

    I probably have at least one bottle of gun oil, grease of every brand sold on the store shelves somewhere in the house, basement, gun bag, truck and other places I've forgotten about. In my 60+ years of shooting I don't think I've come across one brand I think works any better than the other...

    22mag reliability

    I can't say I've ever had a Lot of 22lr fails and can't say I've had any 22mag fails. I can say I think I've had more 9mm fails this past year than anything else. 3 or 4. Come to think on it I can't say I've had a Lot of "off the shelf, store bought and not the expensive stuff" ammo fails of any...

    Question of the day- Fingerprints on fired cases?

    If it were the same two cops doing the dusting for prints on the brass that did the dusting in my home after a breakin some years ago, I would say no. Everything was taken from one room. That's the one room where they did absolutely no dusting. Nor did they look for prints on the back door...

    Major virtue of a revolver

    There is so much more to a pistol than a revolver. And that's exactly why I stick with my revolver.

    .22-caliber accuracy

    Most 22 caliber handguns are more "accurate " than you are. Blame it on the gun is the easy part. Now for the hard part?

    I realized today… I just can’t shoot GP’s very well.

    I've always struggled with my 642 with a 1.8" barrel. I've had it for over 20 years now and most of that time it's just kind of laid in the back of the safe. This past year I decided to give it another try. I have been spending a lot of time with it at the range. Shooting mostly nothing else...

    My Child Is Pretty Curious, Do You Lock Up Your Guns?

    Sometimes, Just sometimes. Once in awhile. Some people that legally are allowed to own guns scare me more than the bad guy with a gun. Just sometimes.

    What motivates your gun-related expenditures?

    Motivates? I didn't vote any. None apply to me. Motivates? Reasons? Why? I don't buy guns for the same reasons most people buy guns today. I don't buy guns because they can kill. Enjoy, is about the only word that comes close, I guess.
