    Need the help of a firearms historian

    I'm looking to get a black powder rifle, but I'd like to get one based on the design that would count as the "first" rifle to be made in America during the revolutionary days. What I don't know is if this would qualify as the Kentucky rifle, the Pennsylvania rifle, or if there's another design...

    H&R Huntsman question

    There's currently an H&R Huntsman rifle on the auctionarms site, .45 caliber with a scope, current bid just over $100. Even though I'm a big fan of the more historically designed black powder guns, the Huntsman appeals to me and I think I might want to buy it. What I need to know is if anybody...

    From Heller, where to now?

    Now that it's been determined that the Second Amendment is connected to self-defense, what's the likelihood of killing all this "sporting purpose" nonsense that we're forced to put up with when it comes to the importation of firearms?

    My first rifle

    Well, carbine actually. DPMS Panther Arms A-15, also known as the Lite 16 according to them. 5.56 NATO caliber, A1 style sights, flash hider rather than muzzle break, bayonet lug, and highcap mags, $725. The flags are to commemorate 6-26-08, and to show my pride in my gun and country. As...

    Need help with new ads

    I'm slowly getting back into making my gun ads, but I need help because I'm coming up short on good ideas. One idea I want to do is about the range of the .50 caliber. I'm using the 1874 Sharps rifle, and the fact that it could deliver a 500 gr. bullet to a maximum effective range of 3,500...

    Derringer discussion

    Does anybody here own a derringer? The old tip-up double barrel design? I'm giving serious consideration to getting one, likely something chambered in .38 Speical, although if the price is good I'm gonna pick up two others in .22LR and .22 Magnum. One thing I'd like to know is if the Cobra...

    H&R Buffalo Classic rifle

    Let's hear from the owners of this fine gun. How is it for you, what's the furthest you've shot with it, how well has it served you? Is it well worth the price? etc.

    Got my first blackpowder gun today

    Got it today at a pawnshop. It's an Italian replica 1858 New Army, 8" octagonal barrel, blued steel, brass frame, tight cylinder lockup, very good timing, sharp rifling, strong lands and grooves, only slight rust on the outer frame. I'd like to find whoever owned it before me and sold it...

    Reccomendation for the sake of sanity

    From here on out let's simply assume that politicians don't care about the well being of American citizens or the country. Let's assume that since they got into power they've lost all humanity and care only about more money, more power, and more authority. To avoid ulcers let's operate on the...

    Been away for a while because of personal issues. Seems I've missed quite a bit in my absence here.

    It's a good day today

    I've been reading a lot on the 'net and from what I've been finding, today is the 72nd anniversary of the introduction of the .357 Magnum cartridge. Also turns out my birthday was just four days before the 50th anniversary.

    Shooting a K-frame

    As some know I have a Ruger Security Six, stainless steel construction, 4" barrel, .357 Magnum chambering. The gun's about 27 years old give or take, and I bought it used with no idea of how much it's been shot. Basically Ruger's answer to the S&W Model 66. I primarily use .38 Specials in it...

    Traditions Question

    Traditions, from what I've read, makes some of the best black powder muskets and shotguns available, used by a number of hunters who will back up the claim. That's all fine and good, but about about their cap and ball revolvers? Are the Remingtin 1858 revolvers made by the Traditions company...

    Knife questions

    Serious questions everybody, something actually worth considering. What would you choose as a defensive knife? Would you pick a real high-quality folder with a cost in the double digits, would would you take a general use locking blade that you can get at Wal-Mart or a hardware store for...
