As some of you know I like to tinker with knives and I'm about to get into making some knives from scratch. I've been spending my time learning by trial and error and I think I can probably put together a user. Nothing that I'd sell. At least not 'til I'm happy with the results and have heat...

Hi everyone. I've noticed that in many of the threads regarding a "best bang for the buck" or inexpensive, good knives, the lowly Mora is always mentioned. Looked down on by some because of their low price tag, stamped steel construction or lack of a full tang. Then there are those that...

With the posts here praising the small neck knives like the Krein Dogfish and the Buck Hartsook, I thought I give a heads up on the new Buck low-dollar version of the Hartsook. Its a US made version in Bucks 420HC with their undeniably good heat treat. Best part is - ITS ONLY $15!! ;)...

Nope. No pics yet. I haven't had a chance to take photos of my newest knife. I just got back from south Georgia where Tropical Storm Fay put a damper on my fishing. I spent a little time hitting the gun shops and found a new shop (opened December 2007) in Statesboro, GA. The service is...

...and bad things happen to good knives. :evil: So here's the story. When Swamp Rat discontinued the Resperine-C for handle material, I ordered one of the last Howling Rats. For the past few years I've abused the snot out of this knife. Much of the coating was worn and there were some good...

With a heavy heart I have to say good bye to a friend and mentor. On Saturday, February 17th I have to attend a funeral for a man that influenced me more than any other shotgunner. My Brother-in-law's Father, Ed Catron. Ed was a 31 year veteran of the Grand American. While his Shotgun...

I went out deer hunting this morning with my brother-in-law. We struck out so called it a day around noon. On the way home I thought I'd stop by a friends property to see if he had his deer yet. He was back at the class C camper that stays on the property. He hadn't hunted the property owned by...

Quick question. I've heard nothing good about the Century FAL's. A local chain store (Dunhams) has Century AK's on sale for $199. Thats cheaper than the last Saigas that they sold. Are they worth looking into or should I save my coin for the Ruger 101 and CCW/CPL costs? Thanks, cs

Does any one offer a Left-handed .22 straight pull rifle similar to the EAA Biathalon Basic? Something with a traditional stock and set up for scope (drilled & tapped, rail)? I know there was a Browning T-Bolt offered in LH but they tend to fetch a premium. Thanks.

Went to Dunhams today to pick up some trap loads. Ammo selection was pretty slim so I got some Federals on sale at $2.99. Bought the last 3 boxes and picked up the last three boxes of Estate #8's for $3.99. Now, two of the Estate boxes are labled Super Sport Target Load and one is a Super...

Was browsing a site that I check once in a while and found the following: http://www.propertyroom.com/cgi-bin/ncommerce3/ProductDisplay?prrfnbr=65508435&prmenbr=31895249&aunbr=65855145...

My niece just came home yesterday from Ft. Lostinthewoods (Leonardwood ) MO. She completed her Army basic and is home for Christmas. She really has her heart set on being a MP/canine unit and AFIK, has begun her training. She knows I have a fondness for shooting and she was excited to tell me...

A friend of mine has a 6mm PPC that is an absolute joy to shoot. Short action, light recoil, unbelievable accuracy. I’ve been looking for something similar but in an off-the-shelf round. I don’t reload and don’t get many opportunities to get to the rifle range. I’d like something similar in...

Sometime last year I decided to put down the rifles and handguns and focus on becomming a "shotgunner". Probably due to the good folks here but I'm not blaming anyone. I'm sure you had good intentions. In the interest of not developing any bad habits, I decided to take the advice of those...

As an informal poll, I’d like to know what other shooters have done to improve the fit of their shotgun. I’d post a poll but I’d rather have more information from you. If you could, give me a brief answer to the following questions: What is your height and build? Have you...

I'm considering adding a Williams Peep Sight to one of my Win 94 Rangers (.30-30) 20" standard length barrel. Williams sells it as a set with a fiber optic front sight. Midway sells the same model without the front sight. Will this rear sight work with the factory front sight or will I have to...

I have a Becker BK71 (same as the BK7 but in Desert Camo). I absolutely love it. I’ve beaten it to death and it simply works. Its my camp knife and general utility beater. I got it while knifecenter was blowing them out for $50 or so. Browsing the Camillus website for new offerings I found...

Looks like my birthday came early this year. Two years ago I came across a Winchester 94 being sold buy a friend of a friend that was down on his luck. He needed to get rid of it. All told the rifle had 20 rounds through it and was in new condition. He even threw in a set of Weaver scope rings...

I kinda figured that the title would get sm's attention. HAPPY BIRTHDAY STEVE! (I know this probably should have been a PM but I hope that an exception can be made this time ;)

Anyone have one? reviews? Are the elastic loops on the strap shotgun shell sized or larger for 35mm film canisters? I think it'd make a nice hunting/field pack or bug-out bag. $99 :scrutiny: . Maybe I'll put it on the Christmas wish list :p
