30 years ago I purchased a cardboard box full of barreled receiver and some parts of a model 64 Winchester. In our corner of the Arctic NW Alaska, the condition and finish would win no beauty contests. missing forend, magazine, bolt locking bars and loading gate parts. over time I aquired...

a cheap way to start is get a airsoft gun and practice on stiching a old soccer ball or vollyball rolled over rough ground. then when you get hits progress to a Daisy Red Ryder. then progress to a .22 semiauto like a 10/22 (helps to go hunting game like raccoon) then move onto bigger game like...

Tough but not quite impossible. These ctgs work ok in single shot firearms best. https://gunnewsdaily.com/rimfire-vs-centerfire/ https://www.m14forum.com/threads/32-long-rimfire.510554/ https://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2021/04/12/17-5mm-danish-snider-largest-rimfire/amp/...

In Alaska you will encounter working 12 gauge SlugSlingers (field work in bear country) Govt (FWS/NPS/BLM/FS) utilize the police model 870 model with the 2 round extension for 6 rounds of 3" rifled slugs. The police model has milled parts as opposed to centerd metal parts (extractor).

The only mfg that would go thru the expense of milling a steel receiver rimfire would be some place with cheap labor the Brazilians, Chinese or Philippines. A steel receiver .22 leveraction could be made in the USA, but itd be a $1200 base model. Same if made in Italy or Spain. Doubt even a...

Its now been like 5 years since Id purchased a used Chiappa M1-22 carbine. First time out it functioned perfictly (above freezing temps**) the few following trips it had some issues with gummy parts from old lube. Through cleaning and another outting and it was basicly a magazine fed single...

I bought a used and slightly abused Remington model 78 Sportsman off a co-worker. Initally had issues with the optics(bad) and the bases. Once undamaged optics were on & secure, it was a coyote harvesting machine. I never seen one but heard Rem 788's came in .223.

If they are both winchester. Both great choices. As for the hunter aspect, the pump action will stay on target a little better as opposed to the leverdrop motion you have to open your hand a bit more than with a Marlin 56 levermatic. But thats nitpicking minutia. The 9422 is the apex of rimfire...

If any one of those handguns Is all you got or ever going to have, you soon learn what it takes to clear jams. Problem is Pistol tunnel vision. At some point you might have to resort to running away or use your bare hands to defend yourself. Or in some case use a black jack, rock or club as a...

I knew absolutely nothing about the Diablo 12ga. A quick internet image search soon revealed why all the negative Diablo feedback. Diablo Spanish for “devil.” Looks like a hand full of hell on the trigger. I can see its appeal to some with a fetish for big hand guns. I cant but respect the...

Of the 4 handguns shown. The revolver is the only one that probibility of a stoppage is almost nill. Three of handguns could pose a challange to extract a failure to feed jam from the actions breech area. I learned a few things when hunting raccoon at night. If a gun is going to jam, it...

In 2019 I picked up a Taurus Tx-22 for like $219+ shipping and FFL transfer. It's a decent semi. They dont like cheap dirty burning ammo, I discovered it gunks up the mag followers and can cause jams. It has a full size feel to it but deceptfully light weight for its size. Its high capacity...

I picked up the 8 shot 4" Taurus 942 in .22 mag and for most part really like it. The only downer is the smallish grips. Which can be replaced with a better hand filling grip for larger hands. My kids (girls) love it, 'as is', they get huffy about Dad wanting to mess up the Taurus. I purchased...

.22Lr or .22Mag? 9 shot transfer bar revolver.

Buy something that can handle steel shot.

Back when raccoon were $20 with the hide on, we ran hunting dogs after dark. The .22 rifles would see a box or two (50 to 100 rnds) in a night. Running after raccoon there were two types of shooters. The accurate type that usually stop and take aim at a running coon (low successe rate) and the...

Id seen some Commie caliber firearms that careless people shot corrosive ammo out of them assuming they were not corrosive. Seen a mint looking Polish M-44 bore that had 40% of its rifling. Bore as bad as some kitchen drain pipes on inside. My first time seeing a Chinese Paratrooper SKS that had...

Well upper handguards were created by craftsmen back in I assume late 1920's and early 1930's. This sounds like a winter time fabrication project. Wood crafting and metal fabrication?
