Anyone tried this yet? :cool http://www.primitiveways.com/two_bladed_pocket_knife.html The Primitive Ways site also has instructions for making a stone knife, which I've tried. It ain't sharp, and it's none too pretty, but it works OK. My flint knapping skills need work! (more of a...

Does anyone have experience with the 3-RAIL PICATINNY SHOTGUN MOUNT from Brownells? Does it attach only on extended tubes, or will it fit on standard sized ones as well? Thanks for the help!:)...

Rochester is trying a new twist on the "buy-back" program. They're not buying anything. But they will glady accept turned-in guns without reward . No cash, no toys, no gift certificates. In fairness, the city is offering amnesty to anyone turning in a gun. I suppose that's something...

I get a real sense of satisfaction from teaching someone how to shoot. New shooters, with their nervous but eager excitement, remind me of why I like shooting. It's fun. Jennifer (my girlfriend) and Victoria (my friend Phil's gf) had never fired a gun before Saturday. We went over the Four...

Today I came across gunloophole.com. It's a very dissapointing site, with the usual blurbs on "unlicensed sellers" using classified ads to supply the bad guys with guns. It seems to be two things: one, another attempt to erode gun rights, and two, another attempt at taxing everything in sight...

How does the .303 round compare to other thirty caliber ammo such as .308? Is it too close to call, or do different brands vary too much to compare? I'm referring to accuracy, range, penetration, etc. Thanks in advance for any replies. :)

I'm thinking of having some work done to one of my shotguns, and the gunsmith I went to a few years ago (for a repair on a Colt pistol) has retired. There are three shops within short driving distance. I've met all three shop owners, done business with two of them. All three are nice enough...

I've been reading about the NY State DEC's venison doination program, and I think it's a great idea. A quick search found that many states have similar "hunters for the hungry" programs. It strikes me as a great way to help hungry people and good p.r. for hunting. Not to mention some of these...

I just bought a Remington model 34 rifle, serial # 1218xx. It's a bolt-action, tube-fed, .22 caliber, rifle. I'm wondering when it was manufactured. Also, I know it was made in Ilion NY, but what about the stock? Did Remington use Adirondack lumber, or was the wood harvested elsewhere...

Silliness. This Columbian fella makes a gun into a guitar, saves world. :rolleyes: http://www.miami.com/mld/miamiherald/news/special_packages/interactive/14034907.htm "Making music out of menace" A Colombian musician has fashioned guitars out of rifles to help spread a message of peace...

Check out the cover of this pulp from 1935. "Win Free Guns!" :D Ah, them wuz the days... http://albums.photo.epson.com/j/ViewPhoto?u=1655461&a=12707758&p=47273745

I've got a Remington 1100 .12ga w/vent rib shot barrel and screw-in chokes, as well as a shorter slug barrel w/rifle sights. Black synthetic stock, light use, no rust, scratches, or dings. It's maybe ten years old. Fires great, no complaints. What's a ballpark price for a trade-in? (I'm...

What firearms and melee weapons did the desert nomads carry? I'm interested in old-time middle eastern and North African desert tribes (Berbers, Bedouin, etc...) and need to find out what weapons they would carry. I know movies are probably the worst place to start, but I'm fascinated by the...

I wrote a few lines the other night, let's say I was inspired. Figured the high roaders might appreciate it more than anyone else. Tell me what you think. I'm looking forward to comments/criticism/suggestions. -Thanks! When I wake in deepest night Find my pistol and my light Check...

This may be the answer to all "what if?" bear threads. The picture is from the Army Times website. "A polar bear investigates the top of the nuclear attack submarine Connecticut during a Navy ice exercise near Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, on April 27."

I came across this on Amazon. It's called Trail Safe: Averting Threatening Human Behavior in the Outdoors , by Michael Bane. The reviews on Amazon look good, but has anyone here read it? Thanks for the input!

This idea has been brewing for some time, and I've finally figured what I want. My dream rifle would have the following: -Mannlicher stock -Straight-grip -Peep sights -Bolt action -short barrel, 18-22 inches I first thought I'd take an existing action, like a milsurp Mauser, and throw...

I got this image from the Army Times website. The fellas were rounding up looters at a burned-out bank. Looks like one of our boys is packin' an ancient .45.

I love the look of a full mannlicher stock, but I also want a straight-grip, sort of like a Springfield '03, or Browning Citori Superlight Feather. I just think this would be the ultimate sleek stock design. Does anyone make this? If not, any suggestions on a good custom stock maker...

It looks like Capt. Robbins is carrying a folding-stock AK in this picture from The Army Times website. Can anyone else identify it more clearly? No doubt it was a local pick-up, but is that allowed? Also, do you think this is his chosen weapon, or just a fun accessory? "Look what I got!"
