I decided to spend some time loading up some .45ACP's. I went out to the shed, turned on talk radio (Mark Levin) and started cranking out rounds. I hit round number 45 and my decapping pin broke (Lee Carbide dies). I thought about it for a minute and pulled the pin and swapped it for the one in...

What shotguns are you carrying to the field for those fast moving, crazy flying little buggers??? This year I'll primarily hunt with my 11-87. I'll take one of these as "backup" 1) an 870, 2) my 500, 3) my Rem 31. Where we dove hunt is a couple hours from home. A broken gun can...

I'll probably end up taking the long way round the barn to get to my point here but bear with me. If mods feel like this belongs better in General or doesn't belong here at all feel free to do as may be needed. I've spent the better part of my professional life working in "mental health". I...

I was cleaning some assorted gun/knife related "stuff" out of my "stuff" closet the other day and ran across my filet knife. I only own one and it doesn't see that much use anymore. I only go fishing once or twice a year at best these days. But it hangs there in the back of that walkin closet...

Why in NC?? Gives us Tarheels a bad name I tell ya. http://www.wral.com/news/news_briefs/video/3319513/ I'm assuming since one of the charges is "carrying a concealed weapon" that the fellow didn't have a valid permit. At least he wasn't "doing the Walmart walk" with his brand new...

I bought a Rem 700 ADL in .243 last year. Have had one in .30-06 for 12-13 years and wanted a .243 to go with it. Walmart was clearancing them so it was good timing :D. Took it to the range a few times and was not happy at all with the way it was shooting. It was Minute of Deer, but my other...

The background (what got me thinking about this)..........I was in gander mountain this afternoon and picked up some Federal Tru-ball rifled slugs to try out. They were on sale and I've never messed around with them, so I picked up 5 boxes. They had reduced recoil 1300fps and standard...

I wanna see some gun pics!!!! Post a 3 gun pic. Not a 3 gun match setup (though if you shoot 3 gun show your stuff), just a rifle, shotgun and handgun. One of each or it doesn't count. I'll start. My new AR, (RRA A3 HBAR Upper, Tactical Innovations/Armalite lower) Rem...

have been having an on-again, off-again problem with my Ruger P90. I was getting failures to fire/primer light strikes and thought I might need a new hammerspring. I swapped it out and still having troubles. Intermittent failures with light primer strikes across the board. Finally figured maybe...

I finished the Hunters Education Instructor's course today. I've been wanting to get involved in hunters ed since my accident last year. For those who don't know about the accident I'm talking about you can read here: http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=306807 So last night and...

Just heard this on the news before lunch. Apparently a couple was attacked and robbed on High Point Road in Greensboro, NC by a gang of approximately 20 individuals. The woman's computer was stolen and the man they believe suffered a broken jaw. I post this because sitting here thinking...

Finally made it to the range today with my LCP. I had only one complaint..............I didn't bring enough ammo :D. I fired 107 rounds total, which was all that I had in my range bag. I walked out of the house and forgot a whole 100 round brick of WWB FMJ. Didn't realize until I got to the...

..........how much practice do you do without them?? I've thought about this for awhile and have recently started practicing shotgun and handgun without glasses, both at the outdoor range and indoors without the range lights on using my surefire to light the target. Basically my thinking is...

I was in one of the local pawn shops earlier this week browsing the gun rack. Most everything was overpriced from what I could tell, but there was a gun there that has me interested. It was a Rem 1100 that had seen better days. It seemed mechanically sound but the external finish was a rusty and...

I've got an 18" 870 express that I'm not terribly tickled with at the moment. I've come to the conclusion (after many rounds of slugs expended at the range) that I like rifle sights on any shotgun I'd grab for HD, mostly because slugs are a part of my HD plan. So, I'm shopping around for an...

Well, deer season is over here in NC and as is tradition, I tend to take to the woods to squirrel hunt a few days in January (squirrel season ends 1/31). I went this past Saturday for the first time this year. Saw no squirrels of course, but two deer. Figures.......:banghead: I wanted to...

I just picked one up a couple weeks ago. Been considering it for awhile. Have had a Glenfield 60 for years and has been a good shooter. Picked up the 75 to go with it. Was in great shape, but a little dirty. Gave it a good strip n clean and took it to the range this past Sunday. Shot as good as...

Ah that feeling....... a new shotgun.......or new to me anyways :D I traded a fellow today for one of these: http://www.remington.com/products/firearms/premier_dealer_exclusives/model_870_express_7-shot.asp The folding stock model not the double pistol grip one. What can I say, I...

I've tried to be. I've shot several AR's owned by friends and while neat and fun, I just don't really get the attraction other than having one just because. I've come close to buying one myself several times. Offered trades here and at other boards for them. Sold several weapons with the intent...
