    Contender Carbine in 30-30

    I have an older stainless steel Contender and bought a T/C 10" 30-30 barrel for it. I had often read that the 30-30 cartridge is very accurate when chambered in single shot firearms. With the Sierra 130gr. SSP bullets, it shoots sub-MOA and kills deer very dead. I later bought a 14" 30-30...

    Vermont Range Owner to be Held in State Prison Until his Range is Destroyed

    There's more to the story... he applied for, and received, a building permit for the range. After it was built, the local authorities rescinded the permit. (YouTuber "Liberty Gal" did a piece on the story and will follow up with one more in-depth once she gets the facts together.) Reminds me...

    Makarov sight adjustment

    East German Makarovs are wonderful! It's actually kind of handy that your rear sight moves without having to drift it with a punch. You can easily get it set exactly for windage, then give the edge of the dovetail and sight a dimple with a center/staking punch to insure it stays in place. Enjoy!

    Just a lil taste of the General Store rifle display

    Ducati motorcycles are famous for their desmodromic valve actuation mechanism; "desmo" for short.

    30-30 Iron Sights

    How big a person are you? I'm a big, tall guy and when I pull up my Model '94 30-30 (first centerfire rifle I ever purchased) for a quick shot, I have a heck of a time scrunching down on it so I can align the sights. I added a scope, which then aligned well with my line of sight while at the...

    Just Bought a New Ruger Mini 30

    I bought my blued-and-wood-stocked Mini-30 in the nineties and I think it's a great rifle. My reasoning for choosing it was that it was a sort of "modern day Model 94 Winchester" for Northeastern woods whitetail hunting. I didn't shoot cheap steel case ammo through it... I had an SKS for that...

    Breaking News: SCOTUS takes first 2nd Amendment case since Bruen

    Will this case only have to do with restraining orders in actual domestic violence cases? In a recent discussion about restraining orders and 2A rights, I learned that it is common for judges to file restraining orders to both sides in divorce cases, regardless of the actual potential for...

    Anyone reload .410? Fiocchi hulls?

    In my experience, patterning .410 loads only serves to introduce doubt and reduce confidence in its ability break clays. ;)

    Just a lil taste of the General Store rifle display

    I live in NY, on the eastern border of Rutland County, VT. I don't find myself in Proctorsville often but I always made it a point to stop in the Quechee Singleton's location whenever I was headed to NH, or Maine, or Cape Cod. I was very sad to see them close that store. I loved to look at...

    Groundhogs in yard

    Same here. But those Velociters will do a much surer job at the expense of a louder report. I've killed two groundhogs in my back yard with the Velocitors and they were quick and humane kills.

    Nebulous Terms and Silly Gun Expressions

    I think this is one of those silly terms necessarily put in use by YouTubers to avoid censorship/demonetization/etc. I can understand its use as such, but for general conversation it seems ridiculous.

    Finally gave in a bought a Kwaiken

    This is one of those knives I would have never ordered on line but seeing the fit and finish in person and feeling the precise action pushed me over the edge. The knife is really quite good looking. The liner lock is a machined and polished piece of stainless steel, not a typical stamped...

    Finally gave in a bought a Kwaiken

    I've always liked the looks of these slender knives. While on a salt water fly fishing trip on Cape Cod, I stopped at an outdoor shop that stocks a very large selection of Benchmade, Boker and Buck knives. I don't know of any shops around my home where I can look at a lot of knives, so I...
