    Hello all. A close friend recently acquired an NRA Mini-14. He is disappointed with the accuracy of it. He was considering getting an AR so this weekend we were at hi BILs shooting a DPMS(I think I got that right) AR and he could outshoot the trigger. By that I mean that he pulled the...

    Pre '64 Winchester Model 70

    I have an opportunity to acquire a Pre '64 Win. model 70, cal. .30-06. I am more of a milsurp, turn bolt guy. My questions, Has anyone ever cut stripper clip guides into one? Would it be considered sacrilege to do so? What're these worth? Thanks Wheeler44

    A plan comes together, or, I am devious

    Okay so it wasn't really a plan, just opportunities that weren't missed. My longtime friend never was never much interested in guns. 15 years ago that wasn't a big deal (since it was in the middle of my 20 year hiatus from shooting). Since I enthusiastically renewed my appreciation for the...

    I am a dyed in the wool revolver guy. Heck, I'm so set in my ways that I think that there is only one Brand of double action revolvers. I also like trucks with straight six engines and 5 speed trannys. A while ago I took a fellow shootin', we used my 22/45 and his Kimber super duper delta...

    Barrel Spike

    After viewing the pictures on the "Peaceful Protest" thread I got to thinking; is it possible to "spike" the barrel on a tank? You know drive a plug down the barrel so that it would be dangerous to fire the tanks main gun. I realize how unlikely it would be that someone could achieve such a...

    Once upon a time

    Once upon a time a long long time ago. Ma Wheeler moved out into the boonies to homestead and raise her family right. She grabbed a new husband that liked to shoot and seemed pretty handy around the house, rounded up the kids and headed out to a small town on the edge of the wilderness that...

    Not me, the other guy. I am a lifelong (40 + years) revolver shooter. I have shot some of the newer Autos (Glock .40, M&P .40. and a taurus that wanted to be a Beretta .40). And back when I was a kid, in the '70's a 1911. My old man even taught me how to disassemble and reassemble a 1911...

    Schools with shooting teams?

    Fellow High Roaders, Can any of you help me find colleges and universities that have shooting teams. Skeet, trap, pistol, rifle, whatever. My kids are coming up on college age and I would like to know which schools have teams. Biathlon would be good also. Thanks for your help. Wheeler44

    OK, I guess the kid can shoot (kinda long)

    OK, I guess the kid can shoot or how the old man learned a lesson. As any of you who have read many of my posts over the last year may know, I am the parent of a 15 year old boy (well I may have to start calling him a man now). I owe a lot to him as he is the one who got me back into guns...
